Re: Ermmm

I agree with you on most all points except that when there is a problem in that part of the world it can quite easily escalate and become a problem for us too. So witherwhen help nip it in the bud or we play a waiting game where will eventually become involved on a whole other level.

Its basically a lose/lose game. There are no winners anywhere.

"Meta needs to get rid of tracking "

That's all that anyone wants, no alternative solutions, just this. And while they are at it, can they also kindly include Google, Apple, Microsoft and all of the other clown-shows that thrive on tracking.

Re: I wish them luck

Yes, I know most of the that, we use InTunes so as you can imagine we can a lot of what it held.

But how useful is that information compared to what your Google, FB etc are capable of extracting.. Google and FB are basically 24hour/365 day surveillance platforms.

Re: Is there a better advertisement

"It also hints at flaws so damning that it would itself ruin the business"

If Tesla goes down that's roughly 140000 people out of a job, and a good percentage of which are engineers; I would be surprised to learn that such "damning flaws" would have been ignored by so many of them that they ended up on production models.

Musk might not be liked by many but it is rather unfair to spit on Tesla's employees at the same time.

Re: Oink Floyd

OOps

Yes, it was a missing "J"..and your Oinks made me laugh..

And depending what you were on made that Flying Pig very, very interesting, there was a whole lot more than just the pig though..

Definitely my most memorable and enjoyable concert..( Seconded by Tina Turner who I don't really care for but is just amazing live - Bob Dylan is one of my all time heroes but he goes down as the worst artist ever on a live stage) ..

Re: Land of the Free

"It's kind of ironic that for all the talk about how Europe is this evil bastion of socialism, it's more of a capitalist free market than the US."

I would love to know who exactly thinks that Europe is an evil bastion of socialism. Having lived almost in Europe almost my entire life I would be very quick to state that I don't see much of that socialism ( the only socialist aspect that I see are the health care systems but the buck stops there).. Here money rules just like most of the rest of the world.

I would suggest Cuba, or Venezuela as examples of evil bastions of socialism.

Re: As usual, it's cover for taking advantage of old people

American roofs must be made from wet paper if the require changing every 10 years.

Re: A sea change

Yup there are many current ideological reasons for "educating" them young.... unfortunately......

Re: What is so bad about knowing how to hotwire a car?

AI scrapes it's knowledge from what already exists on the internet. So if it's available in Grok it simply means that it is also readily available elsewhere.

The problem is the Internet in general as all AI engines will suffer from this.

Re: The Financial Times piece put the deadline at 2027.

All they have to do is use a proxy country, just like the majority of arms deals that are done between governments that have embargos between them.

Re: Forever.

Because you dictate how the money flows, when you dictate the rules, , eh, BlackRock , Vanguard ?

Re: It’s the algorithms on trial [Hold Up Here, Chief]

"It does not matter how many people I hear ranting on soapboxes in the public square that I should kill people of sub-group" etc etc

Unfortunately the world does not work exactly like this, there are a vast amount of people who are easily led, that do not think for themselves and can be coerced into doing a multitude of bad things. Then there are the other people who do try and who do succeed in radicalising others and they are the most clearly the people that should be brought to justice.

Re: "Fact-checkers will label AI-generated media for upcoming EU elections"

"Except the whole point of most of these neo-fascist censor bots"

Yup, exactly this, whether it be on the right or on the left.. neo-fascism doesn't really have bias, since it has spread it's wings to the both sides of the pendulum.

Neither side want's to accept that the other has an opinion.

Re: India is the next China.

"More people need to use it for it to be effective."

I must admit that it's hard to imagine why anyone would want to encourage anyone to use more social media. Aren't there enough platforms and enough problems already ?

Re: 2-1/2 hour lunches

"but we spend 2+ hours at lunch, then sit around bullshitting the rest of the time."

It sounds as though that are a lot more problems that simply having to come into the office.

Re: "it'll likely take some time to get the word out to nearly half the country"

"France has no centralised store of health data"

Not quite true : There is now a shared source of data known as "ameli.fr".

Your doctor and other health professional have access to shared information.

"Okay I can see you're a bit confused. This is an article about Australian politics. We don't have to choose between Biden and Trump."

No I think it is AC that is confused. I merely responded to his post.
