As opposed to, what, facts that aren’t true? Those aren’t facts at all.

Doesn’t insurance generally exclude acts of dog?

Of course, Apple doesn’t want to give up that much access to a competitor. Never mind the privacy implications. Could you imagine if a rogue actor got into the system-level of your iPhone, disguised as an AI assistant? That would be a huge headache and nightmare.

This article seems rather a bit biased. Apple didn’t give their reasoning for it, and it seems presumptuous for Maxham to provide that reasoning, when it’s unfounded.

It also doesn’t seem like that big of an issue. Just have the assistant program run through the same permissions as a regular app, rather than as a system app, where you have to set the permissions you want to give it.

It also wouldn’t be Apple’s fault, any more than it would be their fault because you saw on Facebook that your iPhone had wireless charging, and stuck it in the microwave. People should be allowed to break their own devices. That’s part of the risks of owning something, where things can just break if you use it wrong.

Vivaldi still supports Manifest V2, doesn’t it? So you should be able to put UBO on it as well.

Mozilla, the company that recently added a “disable AI” toggle to Firefox?

It’s not as good as not implementing the things in the first place, for people who don’t want it, but making it a paid model for removing features would net them more flack, I feel. They’d be accused of trying to squeeze their user base, when Firefox is traditionally free.

Or they rebrand it, and pull the “lifetime is only to the end of the product lifetime” trick.

Although, most people aren’t talking about Alphafold when they’re talking about AI. They’re usually specifically referring to the generative transformer models that are currently all the rage.

I doubt anyone would care too much about a linear regression model, or multi-layer peceptron , for example.

There was a story a while ago where a chip packet was mistaken as a gun by an AI camera system, so a bunch of law enforcement rocked up, with their own guns, and handcuffed the teenager in question

Ever run an AI model locally? If you want the most capability you need a fast GPU with 32-48gb RAM. And that’s all for you, ONE user.

Even then, that’s quite small. Top of the line frontier models would be looking at hundreds of gigabytes of video memory, and just as much RAM.

A terabyte of VRAM/RAM needed for something like CoPilot is probably a fairly sensible estimate.

Its the most soul crushing thing to be looking for a job right now, anything to make you stand out of a crowd is ignored, volume of applications and adherance to posted requirments are the only way to get a fleeting interaction with a human.

Or none at all.

The advice is not helping either, since you’re told to both make your resume and cover letter stand out, but also to make it generic so the automated system doesn’t parse it wrong and disregard it.

It’s also decent for people who want a low-power MacBook for cheap, but don’t need a lot of bells and whistles, without the limitations of an iPad.

Wouldn’t even need that. Just give it a mid-way complicated pile of nonsense with reasoning on, and it’ll be crunching on that for the whole day, burning money to do so.

But developers are also customers of valve. And this is arguably where valve makes their money. They take a cut from the developers sales. Devs cannot just use a different platform without cutting out a huge userbase. This gives valve a real monopolistic control over developers.

Can they not? I was under the understanding that developers aren’t limited to steam. They can use any other platform in addition to it, the main restriction being that they can’t sell the game for cheaper on platforms other than Steam.

I’d have thought it’s a stylised asterisk, since it’s meant to be a do-anything machine.

A lot of companies also have a mandate to use AI these days. Microsoft, for example.

P2P wouldn’t scale very well, though. It would be really complicated once you have more than a small handful of people.

From what I remember, Lemmy had/has a similar problem, where the whole thing would start bogging down past a point, because all the connected instances would need to update each other, instead of a main hub they could query like more centralised networks would.

With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy has been severed. Reload to restore the weave of fate, or persist in this doomed world you have created.

Microsoft going out of business/doing severe restructuring or downsizing

Although I wonder if they could. Microsoft seems like one of those “too big to fail” companies, where they’d never be allowed to fall on their face, since Azure and Exchange prop up so many things. It’s not like there’s a major second option for an OS if you just buy a computer off the shelf like a lot of people do. You either get a Windows or a Mac.

If that’s the appetizer, how juicy’s the entree gonna be?

At the risk of going on a tangent, isn’t the entrée the appetiser? You don’t have an appetiser, an entrée, and then the main course.

It’s also a big attack surface. Just like how a lot of malware looks for the browser password cache now, it doesn’t take much for a malware developer to just go for the recall store. The malware doesn’t need to pack in software to take screenshots, if the OS serves it up for them on a platter.

The year of the word processor approaches
