Yes and no. Unfortunately, they are not entirely incompetent in the crimes they are commiting, which is why they still inflict a tremendous amount of damage and suffering.

As if we need more lessons in how cautious we should be with what we’re putting on the internet. What has been true 20 years ago hasn’t changed.

After what Snowden has uncovered, Palantir plain in the open, companies like Meta/Facebook and Alphabet/Google shitting on your privacy , I am absolutely sure you will be subject to spying always and regardless of what you’re doing.

You guys are still using Google?

It was certainly the last one that I voluntarily used.

It’s nice how AI datacenters step by step swallow virtually all available hardware resources to provide digital services to users who won’t be able to use those services due to the lack of available hardware.

To be fair, capitalism is inherently incompatible with advancements in robotics and AI. Doesn’t mean the technology is destroying the economics and society. The socio-economic system was already broken to begin with.

Imagine having that much money. Then imagine how much good you could do with that in the world. And then be like: “nah”.

And today another finding in the series: “humans are stupid”.

I have heard it in numerous places. More predominantly in west to north-west states. But I also remember that TV ads have used this term. So I would say it’s used nation-wide.

Apart from games, where this can also be used for more capabable and behaviourally more “interesting” NPCs (including computer opponents or teammates), the used techniques can be transferred to robotics. Quite a cool architecture.

“Kill switch” is a bit dramatic. It’s an on or off toggle. Would be funny though to call every toggle a kill switch. “Yeah, using the kill switch on GPU acceleration may help with rendering on some systems.”

“Use the kill switch for preventing Firefox of starting a new session without restoring the old tabs.”

“Kill all of your browser data upon exiting Firefox by enabling the kill switch.”

“Make Firefox your default browser by enabling the ‘set as default browser kill switch’.”

Extended to other UI interaction classes: “You don’t like English? Kill it by using the battle royale language selector to choose only the one language you like.”

I do as long as it stays open source.

TIL, people consider Mozilla and Firefox a giant.

Yes. But we will have to see whether it’s opt-in or opt-out. This can make quite a significant difference.

The logic behind the voice controls sounds pretty questionable, but it’s supposedly backed by data showing that users spend billions of minutes talking in Microsoft Team meetings, according to Mehdi — so they’re already used to talking on the computer, right?

Do they really reason like this? Oh my. That’s stupid. And here I was thinking Microsoft employs clever people.
