That CEO is the same guy that’s going to decide when and when not to sell your data. That is the CEO who’s boot licking and courting governments for favors and won’t think twice about selling you down the river.

Based on his Twitter affirmations, If Trump said hey I want you to give me the data on this guy disable is encryption without him knowing it and give it to me he wouldn’t even bat an eye.

That’s not who I want protecting my data

True, works fine.

Then they said they didn’t log IP’s then handed over one of their users IP’s that got an activist locked up.

There there was the bootlicking incident (it’s a paywall but you get the gist before it disappears)

He praised Trump publically, not a great look, but whatever, then tried to say he was not being political, while being even more political. His PR department swooped in to Reddit and started posting straw man attacks. I don’t trust their CEO at this point. If it were any other just email company, I’d be down with it, but their whole schtick is security and privacy, and apparently, they’re led by an idiot.

If I’m taking my shit out of google, I’m not taking to some place that’s positioned to be more of the same if I can help it, and they really appear to be more of the same.

I’m trying to, but Proton made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Now I have the option to do everything I was doing, but poorly AND spread across 3 vendors.

I use moon reader pro and a premium tts voice.

If you can find an audiobook, it’ll be better, that said it’s really really easy to get epubs.

Also epubs are like a couple hundred k tops. So downloading them is super quick.

Yeah, whatever the case, They were all trained on data from the public. The very least they can do is make the models available to the public.

If they do, the cops and mid-level government agencies don’t know. When that recent phone reboot patch when in, they were losing their minds because a bunch of phones sitting around for weeks to be cracked ended up encrypted.

I live in a busy metro-suburban area, I don’t even have 5G everywhere. Hell, there are a couple of small spots where I don’t have any service.

Any more than 4k streaming on one device seems superfluous. If they’re making it just for homes, then maybe. I need to be able for 2-3 people to stream while I download from steam and make send a 4k camera stream out to the net.

I am SUPER happy to have a model that performs as well, if not better than OpenAI, that I can run myself. Completely overjoyed. But I’m not certain that they actually pulled it off for that price. They have everything to gain from lying about it. Knowing the hit the US companies would take from it, it could have been state-sponsored. I’m not saying that it was, but if it were, we’d likely never know.

I dare you to find a job that can’t be portrayed like that.

Hacker Pig? sure!

Neo matrix Pig? Sure

Politician? Almost indistinguishable

Holywood Director Pig? Nearly by default

Slaughterhouse Pig… NGL, that hits different, but still, I can see that.

It did! But we also ended up being more efficient per grey-matter mass.

This reduction in brain size however does not mean that modern humans are less intelligent. Human brains have evolved to work more efficiently and utilize less energy.

Thanks for that, also absolutely love your name.

So you think that AI can’t serve as a disability aid… Interesting.

I don’t use the fancy autocomplete. I ask the AI to generate a boilerplate with X framework/language. Then I’ll ask it to stub in whatever major features I know I’ll want, maybe ask it for a handful of libraries.

Initial setup is all busy work.

I wonder if there were articles like this when the pocket calculator came out.

I’m just thinking that eventually people won’t be able to afford double the price for DoorDash and they be willing to call the restaurant order the food with their own credit card and pay somebody $15 to pick it up instead of 30

But I don’t need millions of voices I just need local. I’m thinking I could get a couple of cardboard signs and say I will pick up the food you order and deliver it do you for 15 bucks.

You know, for 26 bucks a delivery, why the hell isnt there local competition?

If you don’t like something that someone is doing in your own community ban them and block them. Lemmy is far too small for a childish bullshit.

My point is that charging is forging a head elsewhere in the world. Unless he figures out a way to make electric car charging illegal it will continue to surge here because there’s already enough electric on the road to necessitate it.
