nope

my dad does make a profit, he owns a small business.

I agree with the intent of this 100%

I tend to think the people who might not don’t have a clear understanding of what “for profit” means. My dad heard “for profit” and goes “yeah, that’s a good thing. I work for a profit too”

We need some clearer way to express “exploitative and extractive profit”

When my local mom n pop shop makes a profit, it’s so they can maybe expand their menu or open another location across town. Maybe send their kids to college. Or even buy a summer home, extravagant for most but still pretty reasonable. When ketamine king makes a profit, it’s by exploiting millions so he can feel like the worlds most special little guy and light another 5 years of global breathable air on fire in the process.

I really am interested in a folding phone, but i'm not comfortable with paying apple any new money if i can avoid it. I've completed my data migration off of iCloud and into self-hosted solutions, but i'm continuing to pay for iCloud until i'm confident i won't somehow have issues with nextcloud and immich.

When my iPhone 14 Pro eventually fails to meet my needs, I'm planning on getting a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, not because Google is any better, I don't want to be giving them money either, but it is compatible with GrapheneOS.

I guess so. I’m just so wary of everything revolving around AI, even blaming it. If the idea of AI psychosis gets big, but then undermined by shoddy reporting or research, it could cause people to dismiss it like the McDonald’s hot coffee thing.

I want AI companies to be held accountable, but only appropriately so they can’t use shakey arguments against it to get out of that responsibility.

I think my concern is with it being called “AI Psychosis”

It doesn’t seem like an effective call to action for treatment for the individual if we simply blame the AI not being “safe enough” or something.

I have significant problems with AI, particularly around reckless implementation in tasks it is simply incapable of providing real value (most of them), but I struggle to find these kinds of articles as anything but the journalism version of the same lazy application.

Blaming AI for a mental health issue is like blaming alcohol for making someone an asshole. They were an asshole before they got drunk, it just became more obvious while drunk. Same thing here, AI is not causing psychosis, it’s just revealing it in a place that we’re not used to seeing stuff like this come from: a computer.

This article isn’t likely using AI to write it, but the application of AI as the subject matter and tying this person’s crisis to the use of AI seems lazy at best, negligent at worst.

Seems like you have 4 too many questions

The good place really is just democrats

The internet used to be a place

oh no. this is a problem for me. i really went hard on earning the gold trophies in the original game last year.

Unfortunately most standards bodies are pretty much this stupid though. Blu-ray, DVD, USB, hell even codecs like H265 and MP3 have governing bodies that are mostly enterprises enforcing their collective power on standards. That’s good in ways because it means they all have to decide on a standard that’ll work wihh to pretty much anything, but bad because they can also enforce bullying like HDCP onto consumers.

It’s fucking stupid that I understood this comment and know it’s correct.

I pirate my media. The way I see it, I will pull one over on any company I can get away with that would absolutely swindle me given the chance.

I did this to myself and it put butt on our website and my boss noticed it while giving a presentation to a client… whoops

I worked at a knock-off Apple Store in the PNW from 2009 to 2013 and I told this same line to MANY people. The thing about being an “Apple Specialist” is that we sold more than Apple did, including “aftermarket” RAM modules to do that upgrade on-site for customers, saving those customer money AND netting us more profit than if we had sold them the Apple SKU with more RAM. When Apple closed this loophole it was not just at the expense of end-users, but their channel partners too.

I’ve been planning on buying a Pixl 10 Pro Fold and installing GrapheneOS on it when my iPhone 14 Pro kicks the bucket.

Gun company says you “broke the TOS” when you pointed the gun at a person. It’s not their fault you used it to do a murder.
