It's better for them because it does two things. It keeps you on the page longer (which allows them to steal more data from you or sell you more ads), and it normalizes their LLM.

I work in the field. I really liked the weather tile from Windows8/10 because my computer often would tell me at a glance if the weather was going to turn nasty. That was handy.

It would be simpler to just overlay Bluetooth or RF signals it can read with signals so numerous and strong that it is overwhelmed. The main problem with that is the size of the hardware you'd need.

You could pull the 20 phones in a trench coat thing that one guy did to create "traffic jams" where there were no cars.

lol. Guess Rumbas are illegal now. I guess it's good the company is out of business.

The denial appears to be the main reason to be upset about this.

This and 50-60+ years of being able to take video at face value.

Add to that the fact that a lot of them are lonely and probably have been for a very long time.

We already knew the elderly were particularly vulnerable to scams. AI just turbo charges the same scams we've been seeing for awhile. It's catfishing but taken to a whole new level and the elderly are already a vulnerable target.

It's a lot easier for us young people to learn new media literacy and accept that things are changing.

This is not an endorsement of the behavior. It's pointing out that we already pretty much knew this was going to be a thing. This isn't much different than your grandma trying to send money to some scammers who called her about an overdue bill or late taxes.

$3.5 trillion. No low ball offers. I know what I've got.

They can buy my left nut.

You take that back. Beaker is a better man by far!

What in the C-Bills nonsense is this?

8/10/12 hour days at work with people you only maybe like, but perhaps hate. 16/14/12 hours a day for sleeping, eating, cooking, cleaning, etc to take care of yourself, and maybe interact with people you like and enjoy being around in a social context, an attempt to remain informed while trying to avoid AI slop, misinformation, trolls, and media intent on rage baiting you, and making you feel inferior so it can sell you something.

Seriously, what the actual fuck.

Universities started pushing AI as a learning tool. They pay for subscription AI services for enrolled students. So I'm not sure this isn't them doing this to themselves.

Pepper spray doesn't have to be accurate and it's more immediate than a tranquilizer (which could also be dangerous because the same amount of traquilizer used on a grown adult could kill a kid).

That being said this is "let's try anything except addressing mental health, bullying, and gun control".

You've mistaken this for a working democracy with proper consumer protections and actionable laws.

But yeah. Thats how it's supposed to work.

My understanding is that LG broke the TOS and Microsoft asked them to stop instead of penalizing them under the agreement they broke. They wouldn't do this for the average consumer and so the average consumer should jump ship to something else.
