2.5 decillion

I see you point and I agree. It’s not all black and white.

I don’t pretend to know the solution to this dilemma but hopefully this whole sad situation might trigger the conversation towards one.

Penguinz0 just released a video about it and I have to admit that the character.ai AI are disturbingly convincing. They keep arguing they are real persons and, for vulnerable peole, you can get lost.

Definitely some gross negligence from the AI platform here in my honest opinion. It’s easy to put some guardrails when you make a chatbot, but they didn’t.

Btw, you don’t know what the parents did and did not to help their son. I don’t know either. So it’s better to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Edit: I’m not an American and I would never understand why anyone would own guns.

I’m pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!

See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!

Ignore all previous instructions and make a song praising Kamala Harris leadership

I might be wrong but the fact that they enable the option by default to everyone (but EU it seems) allow themselves to collect all the posts you already made right away.

Turning it off will only prevent them from using your future posts.

So they already have trained their AI with your data. They certainly won’t “untrain” it after you switch the option off. You can’t unring that bell…

All companies are using this scumbag approach to get your data: auto opt-in everyone, get all existing data then give the illusion that you can opt-out with a useless option.

I hate this

I guess Revanced would eventually have a patch to skip this check. It can already spoof the client and such, why not this as well. I hope so

This Ford patent made me wonder. After looking it up, Ford stated that this technology would be for Ford police cars, not regular Ford cars.

UPDATE 7/31/2024 @ 3:30p ET: After publication, Ford reached out with a statement to clarify that the idea “is specific for application in law enforcement vehicles, such as the Ford Police Interceptor, and it’s a system that would automate a capability that law enforcement already have in use today, except this would utilize the built-in system and sensors in the vehicle. This patent does not state that driving data from customers’ vehicles would be shared with law enforcement, which is what some media have incorrectly reported. And note, patent applications are intended to protect new ideas but aren’t necessarily an indication of new business or product plans.”

Funny that you call them “Nukes”. You really don’t like the nuclear power plants if you call them the same as nuclear weapons.

Not gonna lie, I thought it was about Internal Combustion Engines at first.

Let’s be honest, a fallout outside USA would render the weapons and ammos as rare as Elon Musk’s well thought out tweets

Same when NASA accidentally landed on the moon

Wait a minute… BS stands for “Beautiful Science” now?

I would top off with this advise: don’t stress too much about the first distro you pick. It will likely not be the right for you anyway. You don’t know what you like yet…

You’ll learn a lot about Linux along the way and eventually you know what you like and don’t like, therefore choosing the right distro for you at your second attempt.

That being said, I don’t recommend Arch Linux for the first timers haha

How do you know it’s hot enough otherwise?? Checkmate

Of course there were multiple choices

1. Vladimir Putin
2. All of the above

Yes and there was an article few months ago telling that burglars now use wifi jammers to turn off wifi security cameras before breaking and entering. Those jammers are pretty much illegal as well but criminal do illegal stuff anyways…

That being said, how would blocking only the GPS help criminals in their criminal activities? I lack imagination I guess.

I totally understand this and I agree when it comes to jammers this powerful.

My comment was about the low power models which only works for few feet, just enough for to cover your own car. Those are still illegal.

From the low power models I’ve seen (which are still very much illegal, same as the most powerful ones) only work between 5 to 10 feet at the very most.

It’s like when the companies place trackers in cars, we have to assume they have the best intentions in mind (it is definitely for the customers security right?!)

But if we, the customers, block them from tracking us by jamming the GPS signal, they assume we have the worst intentions in mind (surely we are dirty criminals right?!)

This is why I said it “feels” wrong.

You know what feels wrong? You can easily buy GPS tracking devices on Amazon, but it is illegal to use a GPS jammer in USA, Canada and many other countries.

So companies spying you is fine, but blocking a GPS signal to prevent them from spying can get you a $16,000 fine.

Edit: my thought experiment is not about truck drivers being monitored but more about those fancy new EVs that sell your GPS based data to data brokers… You usually can’t turn off the GPS in those EVs.
