When a company takes on shareholders, whatever goals, mission, or ethos they had is erased. They now exist as a vehicle to make as much money as possible at literally any cost. That’s it. Was nice while it lasted.

Have they tried not using it? 🤦
I agree, it’s far more convenient than skimming over several sites, but I still like seeing what websites it was referencing so I can evaluate how much I trust them myself.
Kagi’s FastGPT. It’s handy for quick answers to questions I’d normally punch in a search engine with the same ability to vet the sources.
I’ve used an LLM that provides references for most things it says, and it really ruined a lot of the magic when I saw the answer was basically copied verbatim from those sources with a little rewording to mash it together. I can’t imagine trusting an LLM that doesn’t do this now.
The big record labels are shareholders in Spotify so they’re happy to get less money in streaming royalties because that’s the part they have to share with artists, but the value of their shares they get to keep all for themselves.

I mean I’m fully aware of the hypocrisy of republicans saying they are the party of “freedom” only when freedom aligns with their ideology. It’s just fun to watch them try to backpedal and implode when you ask if they would be comfortable with a democrat making similar rules.
Just last week, Abbott ranted about a male teacher who wore a dress to some school events in the state who was driven to quit his job by online trolls. Abbott said that the teacher was “trying to normalize the concept that this type of behavior is OK” and said, “This is the type of behavior that we want to make sure we end in the state of Texas.”
I seriously want to ask conservatives in Texas why they are comfortable letting their government dictate what clothes they are allowed to wear?
I bet the AI was tuned to select ads that maximize both profit and engagement for Meta over maximizing either profit or engagement for the advertiser. Totally working “as intended”.

Hahah but really AI is already being used to amplify and exploit all the problems of social media to new levels. It was nice while it lasted, but we can’t stuff this all back in Pandora’s box.
Probably all those throwaway accounts that people create to post comments that they don’t want attached to themselves in any way. I doubt many people took enough precautions to prevent Reddit from identifying them as alternate accounts though.

Yes, I said in my original comment that it can’t universally parse and validate every HTML document. If they’re older pages that don’t do lots of crazy formatting then it’s not too hard to use regex as a first pass then take a second pass through the results to weed out the odd stuff.
I guess it depends on your definition of “parse”, but let me tell you it’s still very painful to deal with things like attributes appearing in any order inside of a tag so I definitely am not advocating to use regex to “read” (or whatever you want to call it) HTML.
I use regex in SQL to parse HTML stored in a database. It can’t universally parse and validate every HTML document, but it can still be used to find specific data like pulling out every link.
Everyone: Don’t say anything sensitive or personal to an AI because it could end up in training data!
Microsoft: We’re making it easier to feed everything you do on your computer to an AI from notepad to your desktop!

I just made the switch and Steam with Proton has been really smooth, they’ve made a lot of progress to make it easy since the Steam Deck has come out. I don’t play any online competitive games that use anti-cheat though.
Fair, though this is also where the double-edge sword of discoverability steps in too. Many people complain about the lack of it on decentralized systems, but centralized systems have a nice catalog of users for bots to message with little effort.
I’ll admit that lack of discoverability isn’t a perfect solution since there are other ways for spammers to discover users. E-mail is a great example of a large, long running, decentralized system that has increasingly suffered from spam since its inception due to mass data collection of addresses. However if you’re really careful about who you share your address with, it’s possible to still avoid most of it. I give out unique e-mail address to companies and spam tends to only come in on a few, often because they were breached or are otherwise “leaky” about their user’s data. Dropbox is by far the worst offender.
Unfortunately advertising doesn’t work on the majority of their users who are bots. 🤷
