- Comment on The Internet's Most Powerful Archiving Tool Is in Peril 5 weeks ago:
It’s all about the benjamins:
A number of other major journalism organizations have also recently moved to restrict the Wayback Machine from archiving their stories, including The New York Times. According to analysis by the artificial-intelligence-detection startup Originality AI, 23 major news sites are currently blocking ia_archiverbot, the web crawler commonly used by the Internet Archive for the Wayback project. The social platform Reddit is too. Other outlets are limiting the project in different ways: The Guardian does not block the crawler, but it excludes its content from the Internet Archive API and filters out articles from the Wayback Machine interface, which makes it harder for regular people to access archived versions of its articles.

Isn’t this venture capitalism?
So if the middle and lower classes don’t have jobs, the Wealthy are going to circulate money back and forth? So trickle-down becomes trickle-around? Trickle down doesn’t work as intended. So trickle around is likely to fail, too.

The US is taking a cut from chip sales to China - what does it mean?
Unusual. Quid pro quo. Unprecedented.
That is some of the reaction to news that two of the world’s tech giants will pay the US government 15% of their revenue from selling certain advanced chips to China. Industry watchers, former government advisers, policy makers and trade experts have been giving their views on the deal.
The news comes mere months after the Trump administration banned the sale of these chips to China, citing national security concerns.
That ban was lifted in mid-July. And now it seems the US government will go a step further - becoming a part of these American firms’ business with China.
And critics argue that is both confusing and worrying.

- Comment on Meta illegally collected data from Flo period and pregnancy app, jury finds 9 months ago:
Again, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, it probably does, but that story doesn’t prove it either.
Why are you writing diatribes then?
- Comment on Meta illegally collected data from Flo period and pregnancy app, jury finds 9 months ago:
You might be partially right, but I can’t find what is meant by the “recorded conversations” part. I guess I gotta look further in.
“Each of the Defendants had their own purpose for collecting and using Flo user data,” the brief said. “Flo used this information to acquire new app users through advertising and marketing, including advertisements based on Flo App users’ reproductive goals (e.g., getting pregnant). Flo also sold access to the CAEs sent through SDKs to other third parties for profit. Google and Meta separately used the data they intercepted for their own commercial purposes, including to feed their machine learning algorithms that power each of their respective advertising networks.”

We’ve got a lot of really smart people here, some are journalists. These people go around telling other people and now have links to sources. Why do you think the trolls come here?
It’s good to have this as a back up when the techbro trolls try to say they don’t really listen for ads or data farming. This happened just a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t find a link.

- Comment on Meta illegally collected data from Flo period and pregnancy app, jury finds 9 months ago:
This is not about just the data, they were found guilty of fucking eavesdropping. I can’t wait to see people defending this as not being true for advertising. Please bookmark this article everyone. That headline is crap.
Plaintiffs in a class-action case proved by a preponderance of evidence that Meta intentionally eavesdropped on and/or recorded conversations using an electronic device, said a verdict form released yesterday in US District Court for the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs also proved that they had a reasonable expectation of privacy and that Meta did not have consent from all parties to eavesdrop on and/or record the conversations, the jury found.
- Comment on In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen 9 months ago:
This is great satire, but unfortunately you can replace microwave with AI and CEO’s are actually saying this shit fr.
One of my chefs mentioned that if they could cook the steak on the grill they could get it right the first time. This is not an acceptable attitude in the microwave era. Chefs have fragile egos and they all seem to enjoy cooking (???) so it’s obvious they’re just too attached to the food. Also they’re worried I’m planning on firing all of them. That’s true but not relevant here.
Second – you need to realize I’m an idea person. Ok? Who else would have thought about putting pepperoni on a pizza? And if I didn’t have a microwave no one may have delivered that idea at all. With a microwave I was able to deliver that idea much faster. The new economy will be purely idea based. Is the quality of a microwaved pizza worse? Sure. But by 1960 cooking pizzas in ovens will be a thing of the past. I don’t have any evidence to back that up. But any rational person can see in a few short years ovens will be gone.
- Comment on Researchers Jailbreak AI by Flooding It With Bullshit Jargon 10 months ago:
I’m curious to what you’re trying to say. It could be taken a few different ways.
- Yes, that’s a technique that Bannon uses and it works too well. The researchers are breaking AI like Bannon broke democracy.
- That this is just like Bannon’s method and they’re using it to spread misinformation.
I think you’re saying the first one, yeah?
