Putin is behind all this shi(f)t.

You still believe the US regimes will allow elections as the they know it?

That regime in the US. It is truly baffling.

I guess this was an issue all along - but the cost per request is most def way higher for LLM API calls than for e.g. a Maps API call.

with llms maybe you can reuse their api for your own benefit instead of just showing some maps, so the issue is even worse that only cost.

Meanwhile he is burning jet fuel to power is AI cluster.

A clusterfuck of priorities.

What is this shit? 4D grifting?

One-shot - how did you review that the output is accurate?

I read all of the outputs.

If I don't pay, they should not store footage. What is so difficult about that?

If you don't want them to store footage, don't buy a cloud connected camera

Yes. People need to stop treating corporations as if they will honor the spirit of an agreement instead of whatever interpretation gains them the most value.

With Google, you are the product. Those that pay for their services just add more to their bank account. There is a reason they removed _Don't be Evil_. Decouple and move on from them is the only thing you can do.

AI training data is valuable. They're not going to just throw it away.

What does the ToS that you agree to say about the matter? That’s the controlling document.

Have you ever used YT shorts? No further evidence needed, your honor.

My YT Shorts experience: absent-mindedly watch a few, eventually think "damn, these things suck", tap the "show fewer shorts" link to reduce the chance of absent-mindedly clicking on them again soon. The format, with all its annoying little stylistic cliches, is just too irritating to be addictive. (modern Facebook is even more absurdly un-addictive).

The first time I walked into a casino I wanted to vomit. I hated everything about it. The lights, the smell, the sound, every sensory input rubbed me the wrong way. If hell exists, this is it.

And yet some people have the opposite response. They get hooked.

I suspect it’s the same here. The tactics that are wildly addictive dopamine pumps for their largest cohort actively repel you and me.

Pokemon Sleep and Pokemon TCG apps (ran by two different companies) are very annoying with this. I had to drop TCG because it was much worse than Sleep with all the menus. The only reason I keep up with sleep is because it allows me to gamify my sleep and it honestly has a pretty good UI with its calendar view of my sleep patterns.

I suppose all "gacha" games use this pattern. I find it interesting that gachapon machines are so ingrained in Japanese culture because it is basically culturally approved gambling.

Then again, the West had similar with sports trading cards, which are less popular now. Then again, again, NFTs kinda brought this back for a bit with the randomized drops.

Facebook has figured out that I really like videos of people removing rust from badly corroded metal. If they don't mess up and show me something else, then it takes some serious conscious effort to stop.

dont authors of books build traps by that same logic? or do books = good?

nobody likes that argument oddly
