Stabbed in a different kind of way

What about this is even AI, Google is citing that post almost verbatim.

So much for the "it's okay because they learn from but don't use the source material".

There's no better time to switch your default search engine!

Judging by how the response text is sharper than the rest of the image: I think this particular hallucination is localized to the user's computer

This is clearly user error.

When it's been advertised to the user as "full self driving", is it?

Furthermore, the car can't recognize the visibility is low and alert the user and/or refuse to go into self driving?

I wouldn't trust Musk with my life either.

But, presumably, we have moved beyond the age of advertising snake oil and miracle cures; advertisements have to be somewhat factual.

If a user does as is advertised and something goes wrong I do believe it's the advertiser who is liable.

tb_ ,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

Right. But can you blame the user for trusting the advertisement?

Historical inaccuracy only matters when it's non-whites or wamen

Perhaps not exclusively so, but it could've convinced some to choose a Tesla over other EV's.

I guess Musk hadn't yet fired enough people after closing their entire charging station division.

At least third party launchers are a thing on Android.

Though that isn't an excuse for Google's behaviour.

Remember when they made fun of the charger being removed?

Me neither.

It may summarise Wikipedia articles in your search results, though you can turn that off.

Turn that link into an embed with ![description](link) (the exclamation mark makes it an embed, rather than a hyperlink. The description isn't technically necessary for the embed to work visually but may aid screen readers.).

I'm pretty sure you're right.

I try to fill it in where I can, I may have come off more dismissive than I meant and should've elaborated.

I made an autohotkey ctrl+shift+v script, no need to worry about which apps do and don't support it.

Yeah... Germany has so much renewable energy they're bringing coal plants back online.

Good guy Norway on the renewables though. Definitely not one of the largest crude oil exporters either.

That said, I do like the idea of converting excess energy to hydrogen. If only there was an energy source that wouldn't cause global warming, would be a great base load next to more fickle renewables, and which could be diverted to generating hydrogen when demand for energy is low.

Steel can very much crack.

Though it depends, is more unusual than ceramic cracking, and probably wouldn't make this pattern.

This graph was made from geotagged tweets.

Presumably that's why the flags are so popular as well, I doubt Belgians are sending Belgian flags to one another in the DM's. Or maybe they do, I wouldn't know.

For personal use I see little issue with it. If you, however, start publishing them, suppressing other voices and/or making money off of it, it becomes less clear.

This video by TechAltar is great and goes into why Bing/Google are often the backend for alternative search engines, such as DDG (Bing), Ecosia (Bing), and Startpage (Google).

Discord Shuts Down ‘Spy Pet’ Bots That Scraped, Sold User Messages (www.404media.co)

Discord banned a mass of accounts that were part of a service that scraped and sold user data, including messages posted across servers and what voice channels they joined, 404 Media has learned. The move comes after 404 Media reported on the service, called Spy Pet, last week and verified it was selling access to genuine user...

It's pretty common for companies to buy up their competitors

Capitalism "competition drives innovation" at its finest

tb_ ,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah but generally it's unfeasible to find out every (public) server a particular user is in, now you can just search for them.

It, at the very least, lowers the barrier to stalking by a lot.

They don't have an HR department.

They do though. At least nowadays.

Updates specifically, initial install still gives the pop-up.

From my recent experience both the main F-droid app and Droid-ify can do silent updates. Not sure how automatic they are though.

All of Microsoft's apps feel increasingly unwieldy and sluggish. Remember when they put an entire webbrowser in their "Math"/calculator app?

Hard disagree with your dad there, it would be extraordinarily difficult for a cis man to get in a lesbian relationship.

You and I may have known, but

it's been insanely clear for many years

If it had been clear it wouldn't have become an issue.

Until you get a Roku where you literally can't use the TV without accepting an arbitration clause.

tb_ ,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah but what if you already had one. Or bought one without knowing it'd pull a fast one on you.

"Here's an idea for you; how about being aware of every single company you might interact with and all the shitty ways they try to screw you over."

That's a little crass, but I hope you understand my sentiment.

Also how can such arbitration clauses be both legal and binding, I don't understand it.

I love looking up reviews for every little thing I purchase, and even when I do ads nor microtransactions ever get patched in at a later date! Same goes for those service agreements which aren't ever updated!

Oh, wait, no. That's exactly what happens.
Nor do I want people who aren't as tech savvy/in the know to get preyed upon/swindled.

tb_ ,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

This is such a stupid argument. Not everyone is tech-literate. Ideally people wouldn't have to look out for this because the practice wouldn't exist. "Just don't get robbed/swindled lol, you should've known better".

And no, I'm not trying to advocate for whatever sketchy device is linked above. What I am saying is that I understand the sentiment, because that manufacturers are increasingly encroaching on our ability to own what we buy with parts pairing and always online requirements.

tb_ ,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

What you're talking about is right to repair.

You put it like that's unrelated, but it's all part of the same scheme through which we own less and less.

In my opinion the buyer shouldn't have to beware, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that.

I'm not American

@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

No, you're right. It was a bit dismissive of me.

Though rather than convincing just my local elected officials I'd rather also convince others out there, whom might become an additional voice for those local elected officials to hear.
