In the US they're corrupt by nature and will only cooperate when terrified.
Coerce them to serve the people by any means necessary and without empathy, compassion or mercy. They are selling out the commons in return for power.
In a just society the public would use them to decorate lamp posts. The system is beyond fixing without pitiless aggression which I can only hope accelerates.
This. The Pinephone was worthless when it was released, let alone later on. I'm supposed to buy a worthless phone?
I don't think AI only dumbs people down, I just think it feeds people's proclivities.
If I look stuff up with AI (sometimes I give up and do it because the search engines are all so shit now) then I double-check what it shows me and I learn unrelated things in the process.
If you look stuff up with AI and just say "duhhhh OK" and repeat what it says then yeah, that's going to make you dumber.
So basically the people who were getting smarter looking things up without AI can still be getting smarter looking things up with AI... if they know how to think critically.
And why should we subsidize bandwidth over reach?
The idea was a future-proof connection, so we weren't paying for old and busted.
Shouldn't Starlink and satellite have the same access to subsidies than Google Fiber, considering they enable people to have internet that otherwise couldn't at all?
No. That doesn't mean they should have no access to subsidies, but they are also substantially more expensive than other options.
Let me also say here that we should nationalize all of the telcos because all of them stole hundreds of billions from us that they were supposed to use to provide high speed internet and gave it to shareholders and executives instead.
modern safety features and modern fuel economy.
OK that may mean a 2020s car with a 1970s user interface. Minus the 8-track, I don't need that.
Multiple places in the USA. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Granted it's in a different discipline, but the instructor having to use AI to write backs up the claim that people are forgetting things by using AI. It's a bit ironic for other reasons, but still supports the point.
Honestly, if you want to live in the mountains in bum fuck no where, you can't expect society to provide you a fiber connection. We don't even provide those people with sewer connections for precisely the same reason.
Well, no. The two things are very different. Data leaves down the same "pipe" it came through, while sewage systems and water supply systems are both separate (you hope) and VERY DIFFERENT. They have almost completely different considerations in every department. Also, if you live in the sticks, there's no real drawback to not having a sewer connection.
That is stupid.
lolololol
We don't know "exactly" how the brain works, but we do know that they learning and strengthening of skills is the result of training neurons.
Double down forever, dumbass.
In fact it's just a lot of bullshit. Embedded refers to how a product is used, and there are plenty of non-embedded ARM computers.
The company disputed any characterization that the data was "exposed," saying that an "ordinary member of the public" would not have come across it.
Well then, it's a good thing only "ordinary members of the public" would ever dream of trying to crack your service to provide unintended access! Those pesky Russian hackers would never dream of using means "not discoverable through ordinary use", right?
Back in the early days of cable, I sometimes switched to dialup because of high packet loss on the cable connection. The dialup might have been slow but it was as solid as a rock.
A decade earlier I would sometimes throttle my modem to a slower speed for similar reasons.
... for slower technologies!
Some people have a great ambition: to build something that will last, at least until they've finished building it.
