This should be a lesson: if it’s free for you, it is a lie. They sell your data, harvest you info and you are the product. Might have to get a NIL deal just for your image, but your information is not protected in any real sense. Social media has been detrimental for almost everyone not already a celebrity and people…

Maybe if they combined Rabbit R1 with a good portable DAC we could have a single +1 device to rule them all!

And top top it off - they use a spokesperson which is modern day code for “we will tell you what we want you to hear, not the truth” (see White House spokespeople for well, awhile)

Sophie Turner is TV and Movie’s equivalent to Baseball’s Mendoza line: she is the least facially expressive and most wooden actress that we are forced to accept as a standard.

Let’s not forget “People also asked” which has zero to do with what you asked, and not letting you know the link they got cash for showing you is behind a paywall.

Joining prime gets free shipping, but no guarantee since the guarantee applies to refunding shipping costs.

Prime day deal = more Alexa than anything else and we despise that spying nonsense that needs an App we don’t need too. Amazon = Alexa + 3rd party sellers and seems like it’s going down the drain.

You mean the auto generated playlist feature I might have liked from so many years ago is now just rebranded as AI? Wow, shocker.

I like my odds!

Once again fear is being used a tool to defeat good.

Yeah got a Subie a few years ago, but there’s no camera, albeit sure they can monitor seatbelts and driving habits but I want something for that! Otherwise it’s a facebook model of gathering and selling your data without compensation.

Again it needs be pointed out that “AI” is just “I” unless it can know what it doesn’t know and learn it through inference and/or simulations and take that and write out a file to a specific folder on it’s file system and it’s ingested, read and applied without needing to reboot. But we are still “training” the AI by…

This won’t do much; the typical call sounds like a live person but is a recording asking you a simple question and your voice is a prompt for the next recording that will end with a call center (outside the USA) handling questions of private information. Even if you don’t get them that, they know you are a reliable…

I also hate advertising, but then again so does virtually everybody except those who work in that industry.

Big banks have lobbied enough to cause no linkage between Prime Rate and the rate they pay their savings customers. They love the “spread” on lending vs giving which is how they principally make money. That’s why I don’t put my money into them. 0.01% interest is 1/4.15 of what Apple is paying. Take $20 a month in…

I met Jack Dorsey at a Twitter conference in Seattle a decade ago. He was the most smug, arrogant, and egotistical person I’ve met ever. He turned Twitter into some kind of public soap box of a platform for people hop on and believe it was necessary communication for those in repressed goverments. As if a government…

AI = marketing term for an algorithm or multiple ones programmed by people (for $15/hr apparently) with specs just like any other program used to be made until marketing decided programs were to be called apps and AI to make them sound great.

This isn’t going to move the needle on profits which he badly needed with 1.5B owed as reported by NY Times. Twitter will be fined soon as there is no way they are making their consent decree having fired all the people in all the departments that can toe the line on privacy.

Happy to see him in any hot water. I met him a few times when I was with a startup doing twitter conferences, and he’s a first class prick.

And yet Standard Oil is doing well these days: Exxon-Mobil or ESSO-Mobil would have been Eastern States Standard Oil vs Speedy of Ohio or Standard Oil of Ohio. They were let to merge back..so what is his point?
