With practical applications like contact lenses that augment reality with information about what it is we see?

So you'd delete your Lemmy apps then, yes?

Says the person posting on a social medium... Can you hear yourself?

Odd. I continue to tell various social media to stop shoving disturbing ads down my throat. They never listen.

I foresee an uptick in sales of air defense systems. Invest now.

Not to mention bandwidth. I pay for bandwidth, for my own consumption. Not for an ad broker to keep pushing data at me in an amount that only deteriorates the experience for which I pay. The ad brokers are stealing my bandwidth from me. Let's sue.

Who would turn off the safety protocols?

We would. We do it all the time. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

AI isn't safe because we aren't, either.

Free Schlep!

Arguably the most capitalist and exploitative undertaking of the decade, Roblox is making serious profit. Its moral choices expose a concerning lack for the well-being of its target audience. Going after the whistleblower is a common trait in organizations lacking ethics.

If it doesn't start with refusing to let nazis participate, it ain't gonna help.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Chinese government deems USA computer chips a security risk. It's tit-for-tat, as the USA government has claimed the same about Chinese computing products, both hardware and software.

What may concern is the impact on European computer chip and semiconductor production. With the USA also selling to China, supply goes up, price goes down. Market will change.

In the mean time, sites are getting DDOS-ed by scrapers. One way to stop your site from getting scraped is having it be inaccessible... which is what the scalpers are causing.

Normally I would assume DDOS-ing is performed in order to take a site offline. But ai-scalpers require the opposite. They need their targets online and willing. One would think they'd be a bit more careful about the damage they cause.

But they aren't, because capitalism.

Am I just dumb, or is this common practice among corporations? Shell companies are used for all kinds of purposes, including shady ones.

Could indoor lights power solar-powered indoor lights?

Oh, it gets worse. I watched a TED talk once in which a researcher explained how a conversation was reconstructed from the mirror image projected through a window, of the vibrations of the metal foil of a potato chips wrapper that laid on the floor in the same room where the conversation was being held out of sight. Can't make this stuff up.

Sure is.

Yet another company rolling over to please the Lord. And people wonder how Germans so easily rolled into nazism?

Oh, here's an idea: treat people well.

Or... what? Is Japan going to ban Apple products? Good luck!

Hot take: those meetings are production value. They are work. Otherwise middle management would have replaced themselves with AI.

That's one way to bring back the times of old. If the masses can't afford compute power, how will they learn that their leader is lying to them?
