  • .I'm usually on eternity so I'll see if there is a tagging feature in there, thanks.

  • Hah, where is that feature, is it a website thing?

  • You would know better than I, I suppose.

    Have you considered that it might just be the only overlapping space between you two?

    Perhaps if there were more surface area overlap you'd be able to disagree over a wider range of subjects.

    Meh, not my business either way.

  • I'd, personally, take the reddit and AI parts individually.

    Sloperator and reddit chud, rather than attributing the AI evangelism to reddit specifically.

    But again, im guessing, I could be entirely wrong.

  • I would guess it's the exhibition of what some people would consider reddit-like behaviour that is the actual intended insult.

    Or rather the behaviour exhibited by reddit denizens that gives it it's bad reputation, for some.

    I could be wrong however.

  • It was not my question, i was just noting that of the points mentioned in that reply the "troll" reference was the only one that you didn't address.

    There was no implication past that.

    As for sometimes unpopular opinions, I'm no stranger to that, feel free to check my history.

    You get judged on my interactions with you, as far as I remember this is the first.

    Never knew why that was supposed to be a bad thing.

    I don't think thats true.

    While you might not agree with the prevailing opinion of reddit(in the fediverse at least), I think you know what it is and why it might be used as a derogatory reference.

  • TL;DR; Narcissistic emotionally stunted manchild acts out to get attention because he can't figure out why he isn't getting the respect or adoration he clearly deserves.

    And any attention is better than none.

    Im not sure that's all idiocy though.

    It's certainly a large helping of narcissism and hubris.

    Nepo-lucking your way up enough to mingle with the other amoral arseholes probably requires some skill of a kind.

    It could just be trolling, he's certainly rich enough and that gives him a layer of protection in the current capitalist societal structure that's thick enough he can pretty much just be a 24/7 dick and there will be zero effective consequences.

    I personally think he's got in to a position where he can have basically whatever he wants except the things he actually would like to have.

    He's a boring, lonely, sad child of middling intellect and can't figure out why the things he does doesn't get him the things he needs/wants.

    So he escalates, and lashes out, because he can and its his only form of communication.

    Like a crying toddler with big feelings, they can't articulate the problem so they cry and scream until someone else figures they need food and a hug.

    Except his tantrums kill people and ruin lives.

    If he was an idiot that might go a ways to explaining the continual inability to just not be a dick to everyone, all the time.

    But I think it's worse than that, i think he's choosing to continue being a dick, as a way of proving to himself he still has an effect on the world , not the respect, acceptance or adoration he wants, but still, something.

  • Just to check , are you asking:

    "What does a $75m investment from the company that famously removed "don't be evil" as their motto have to do with evil?"

    Doesn't sound difficult to draw the straight line there.

  • it seems you've taken up the mantle for the side of:

    That’s a complete disregard of a useful tool that brings measurable benefits.

    Downvoters have absolutely fucking nothing to say, but sure are mad about something they can’t defend.

    I didn't downvote but I'll bite anyway.

    Let's try it this way, describe what you think a "measurable benefit" would entail (yes i know you're not the OP of that quote).

    In detail enough that you could defend it as a position because unless it's ironclad you will probably need to defend it.

    Then name a measurable benefit that fits your previously described definition.

    In case it's important, i'm not necessarily anti LLM (check my history if you care enough)

    i am however decidedly anti weak arguments.

  • Sure, didn't say they would, capitalist companies gonna capitalise.

    In the same way capitalist governments are gonna capitalise....by serving the interests of capitalist companies.

    Hit me up when these magical regulations of yours get applied and enforced for a value more than the profits produced by ignoring them.

    I mean it, I'm all for the regulations, I just don't think it should be the only basket in which to place eggs, but you do you.

    Meanwhile , i'll also be not spending money on products that don't serve my interests, it's not the definition of "being fleeced" that I'd use but you seem confident enough that I'll look it up and check.

    And by all means, you can buy your PlayStation's (not the disc ones obviously, that would be stupid, unless the regulations for that are also imminent?) , ready for the day when those regulations come in to force (in the near future, I assume).

    Because NOT buying user-hostile products is for chumps who don't believe their government has their best interests at heart... or something?

  • Even if it is an answer, is your suggestion to wait for a theoretical solution that hasn't appeared so far and doesn't seem to be on the horizon, to the exclusion of doing anything else?

    Idealism isn't strengthening your argument.

    How about doing multiple things, you know, just in case, on the very small (minuscule, really) off-chance you happen to be incorrect or even not fully correct ?^[As unlikely as that scenario is , i mean]

  • All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data Goes

    Jump

  • The mandate says nothing about cameras specifically.

    I thought it did as well but it only specifies this :

    Driver drowsiness and attention warning and advanced driver distraction warning systems shall be designed in such a way that those systems do not continuously record nor retain any data other than what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed within the closed-loop system. Furthermore, those data shall not be accessible or made available to third parties at any time and shall be immediately deleted after processing. Those systems shall also be designed to avoid overlap and shall not prompt the driver separately and concurrently or in a confusing manner where one action triggers both systems.

    Don't get me wrong, manufacturers are going to have a fucking field day with all of the shit they'll try and get in under this banner of "safety" and they will almost certainly work their monetisation shenanigans in around this.

    It might seem like that wording prohibits data collection, but it doesn't cover all the bases a team of well paid lawyers would be able to come up with. Or they could just do what they normally do and just ignore the "no data collection" part and pay the cost of doing business tax fine and rake in multiples of that fine in profits.

    My point is , it doesn't specify cameras, so theoretically a company could come up with a non-face-scanning way of doing this and use that instead.

    will they ?....fuck no...but they could if they wanted to.

    Which is arguably worse.

    edit : A note to say that I'm not arguing against the safety aspects of this , they might be fully valid, i'm arguing that it'll be abused for profit in any way the companies think will give them a positive ROI.
