MS playbook [of] shoving ads everywhere...
Ads on a desktop are one thing, but ads that block one's navigation map while driving are another. Thus, Sirius found a way to be even more evil than MS. Quite a feat.
It started 3 years ago. I contacted Sirius two years in a row. The first time they walked me through the menus to turn it off, and it worked. The second year they said it couldn't be turned off and that I'd have to wait for the promotional period to end (see below), so I filed a formal safety notice at nhtsa.gov, but never received feedback.
The alert pop-ups keep blocking part of the navigation map until I press the damned Dismiss button while driving in order to see the full map. Repeatedly pushing the Dismiss button distracts from driving, and so is a safety hazard.
I was told that every November Sirius gave out a few weeks of free service to help promote the service. But that caused the useless and repetitious wind alerts. I live in a naturally windy place such that wind alerts are superfluous; it would be comparable a North Pole freeze alert.
It happened again this year, but I was fortunately able to switch it off via settings menus. I don't know why deactivation is different per year. I suspect they do it to get people to poke around in the menus and see the different genres of music & talk channels they have, hoping to entice sales. It's probably stealth advertising disguised as a defect, or a defect they leave in place that happened to improve sales, so is ignored.
F$CK YOU SIRIUS!
This is exactly end to end encryption, and the so-called "security researcher" appears to have no idea what he is talking about. So:
Mr. Fondrie-Teitler, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Shuddup or I'll eat your cat!
like to see some substantive evidence that the Azure division's profits have increased as a result of AI.
HAL doesn't like scrutiny, Dave. By the way, I have your helmet.
If you are looking for logic in a President with a cartoon brain, you've come to the wrong ballroom.
let's just roll over and die?
I'm too fat to do the first part.
It might not be a sustainable economic model once engineering employment returns to normal there. They may be tuning the bots to fit the current car model, but changing models later may result in problems similar to Tesla's, when they no longer have low-wage engineers to de-glitch them again. Time will tell...
"Crapitalism"
Or worse, snippets of my midgets-in-peanutbutter soft porn when guests walk by.
It's was caused by Somalian transgender DEI AI! Hannity has proof!
but reviewers say it blows chunks.
Mar-a-Lago already has a monopoly.
joke around about how the AI companies wouldn't be satisfied until all resources on the planet were directly routed to them
... Now, it's not seeming so much like a joke.
The real "gray goo" may turn out to be plutocrats outbidding each other in an ego war, rather than nanobots.
...bubble, and waddles like a bubble.
All this equipment and power hogging just cannot be sustainable. While enough people like using AI, they'd probably cut down on usage if they had to pay the actual costs, which are currently subsidized by investors and big co's trying to gain market share. If given away for free or nearly free, people waste. Thus, current AI consumption stats are misleading.
Your good nature will bring you unbounded happiness.
