It took them a day to realize they're trans. The reblogs have timestamps.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Starkstruck ,

They do care about keeping their company secrets and proprietary info though. Recall could make corporate espionage a cake walk.

Unless it can literally do all the cooking and clean the dishes, it ain't worth it. I saw a video of one of these robot "chefs" where you had to preportion all the food into it, and then spend ages cleaning it out. At that point just make your own damn food.

I took psychic damage seeing this. Now I pass this curse onto you.

Starkstruck ,

Because sometimes artists remember that they can make literally anything

Starkstruck ,

From what I've seen, pretty much everyone from techies to the tech illiterate HATES AI Implementations. Yet corporations keep trying to shovel it down our throats. When are they going to admit no one wants this?

Starkstruck ,

It'd make more sense if it was a pinwheel

Starkstruck ,

It's not an age thing, you just had to be on tumblr religiously back in the day to understand any of this. Source: used to unironically call myself a 'superwholockian'.

Starkstruck ,

I legitimately can't stop laughing at this omg

Starkstruck ,

I think most humans aren't like that, it's just that the ones that are have managed to structure society to reward their behavior. We need to get these vile, greed driven ghouls, out of positions of power to get anywhere.

Starkstruck ,

Yeah. Like the old adage of whoever seeks power is least deserving of it. It's a difficult thing to combat.

Starkstruck ,

I used to be so excited for self driving cars, but my naive younger self assumed they'd actually make sure they're safe before putting them on public roads.

I was wrong.

Starkstruck ,

It's almost like any new technology starts out with problems that get solved through time, money, and resources.

Starkstruck ,

I understand wanting to share pictures of your trip and stuff, but if it's such a compulsive need you wouldn't be able to not do it, you've got issues.

Starkstruck ,

Good god that's actually insane. Corpos have completely lost it.

Starkstruck ,

We really need to ban adding unrelated things into one big bill.

Starkstruck ,

Bro did not just call Reuters, BBC, and WSJ 'obscure' 💀.

Starkstruck ,

That is straight up not what bed rotting is. Bed rotting is when you're so depressed you can't bring yourself to get out of bed at all. Like, it's a mental health condition, not lazyness.

Microsoft Pitched OpenAI’s DALL-E as Battlefield Tool for U.S. Military (theintercept.com)

Microsoft last year proposed using OpenAI’s mega-popular image generation tool, DALL-E, to help the Department of Defense build software to execute military operations, according to internal presentation materials reviewed by The Intercept. The revelation comes just months after OpenAI silently ended its prohibition against...

Starkstruck ,

Ethical problems aside, I would not trust current AI to not make some very big mistakes lol

Starkstruck ,

Soon social media will be entirely automated, requiring no human input!

But fr wtf is the point of this 💀

Starkstruck ,

I think one of the biggest issues is even if you come up with a way to verify what is and isn't AI generated, it might not actually matter. Already we've seen people just believing the most obviously fake posts, cause they're just that gullible. Like yes we should come up with a system to verify things, but I fear the genie is already out of the bottle.

Starkstruck ,

If your only social interactions are through work, you've got a problem already.

Meta gave Netflix and Spotify access to users private messages (arstechnica.com)

in 2018, Facebook told Vox that it doesn't use private messages for ad targeting. But a few months later, The New York Times, citing "hundreds of pages of Facebook documents," reported that Facebook "gave Netflix and Spotify the ability to read Facebook users’ private messages."...

Starkstruck ,

Does going this far with targeted ads actually increase people's likelihood to buy something? Like, the value of data you can get on someone has to plateau at some point, right?

Starkstruck ,

Black, brown, and purple. My cats and I are going to open the greatest 24/7 pizzeria.

Starkstruck ,

Basically, people are about as vulnerable to misinformation campaigns online as the Native Americans were to all the diseases the colonizers brought over. Most people have no natural defenses against it.

Starkstruck ,

Fr. I legitimately wouldn't mind just a few banner ads to pay for things, but as per usual, the corpos got too damn greedy. So congrats, now you get no ad viewage from me.

Starkstruck ,

Using a technology known for high energy cost and increase in emissions seems very counterproductive to their goals lol

Starkstruck ,

Same shit that happened with cryptocurrency and NFTs. Suddenly the tech illiterate c-suites realize it isn't magically making profits go up.

Starkstruck ,

I feel this so heavily. Those that are just that braindead, and don't want to fix their braindeadedness, just drag down the rest of society. Like do we really gotta spare resources for hateful mouthbreathers that mob mentality on anything they don't understand? Like, if they're going to hate entire swaths of people for no good reason, they deserve to be hated.

Starkstruck ,

Best we can do is more executive bonuses

Starkstruck ,

Far more likely something just went wrong

Starkstruck ,

Gotta love journalism that's just 'i personally don't like this perfectly normal thing, ergo everyone who likes it is weird and wrong'.

Like bro no one's forcing you to drink milk 💀

Starkstruck ,

Ah, takes me back to 2012 tumblr, when SuperWhoLock had a choke hold on that site.

Starkstruck ,

Fr, I love VR, but this headset is just Apple trying to cash in on the VR market without understanding what people actually like about VR.

Starkstruck ,

I feel like our current "AIs" are like the Virtual Intelligences in Mass Effect. They can perform some tasks and hold a conversation, but they aren't actually "aware". We're still far off from a true AI like the Geth or EDI.

Starkstruck ,

Is this like how seeing just a bit of ankle in ye olde times made men crazy?

Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles (www.newscientist.com)

Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles. To create a needle-free vaccine, Darcy Dunn-Lawless at the University of Oxford and his colleagues mixed vaccine molecules with tiny, cup-shaped proteins. They then applied liquid...

Starkstruck ,

While this is awesome, I can already imagine anti-vaxxers are now deathly afraid of ultrasounds lol

Starkstruck ,

If snails did have tears with salt in them, the salt would already be in their body, meaning he'd already be dead.

Starkstruck ,

Criminals aren't going to be using services that comply anyways. They'll have their own underground ones. This is just a violation of regular citizens rights.
