Of course they use it for ads, Google is an advertising company. Not just any advertising company, an advertising company that famously discarded their "don't be evil" motto.
And their "AI" is useless, it can't even reliably summarize a couple of emails. Google sucks.
the Facebook ad robot decided that I was a dentist (I'm not). Now I get bombarded with ads for dental equipment including 3D printers for making teeth.
I'm almost amused by the stupidity.
That means your digital sanitation is working. Keep it up.
I'm a middle aged male. Every time I see ads for tampons or pensioner insurance, I am pleased, because it means the ad providers don't know much about me.
It's a little different when only one side has the nukes.
The USA convinced Ukraine to give up their nuke in the 1990s, in exchange for a pinky-promise to help defend Ukraine if necessary. There is a lesson there for all of us.
Russia has lost Two more SU-30s Fighter jets as they collided in the air over Kaliningrad.
LOL
I can't vouch for the veracity of this link, but you might be right: https://militarnyi.com/en/news...
Ukraine needs more help from - hmm, let me see... - oh yeah, The United States!
They need more weapons - not more advice.
In the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the USA assured Ukraine that they could give up all their nukes because the USA would defend them if necessary.
Yandex has been throttling queries rather aggressively lately, and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with their compute going up in smoke due to Ukrainian drones.
Yeah, the boomers have all gone quiet and neighbourly now that they are not being fed a steady stream of AI generated ragebait: https://www.betootaadvocate.co...
After gmail, it's next to impossible to find an email service outside of a few privacy focus ones.
This sounds like a good thing to me, what am I missing? Don't we like privacy around here?
I saw someone call it cuckcoding because you just sit there and watch and I think that's a much better name.
Nice. I'm gonna use this term from now on.
I will do my best to educate everyone I know why it matters and why they shouldn't buy that model/brand.
I applaud the sentiment but my family tuned my advice out long ago. As a result, they all pay a lot more money for an inferior experience.
Is Sega going to storm my place to shred my First edition of Sonic?
Nintendo would probably storm your place if they didn't like what you were doing. https://www.suedbynintendo.com...
That doesn't mean people won't try to push, again as we've seen in Ukraine. Almost all forms of conflict became asymmetrical; deadly, and it makes headlines, but for the most part asymmetrical warfare could not existentially threaten a nation.
in the 1990s during the breakup of the Soviet Union, the United States convinced Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons with the promise that the USA would defend them if they were invaded.
I expect there to be some "creative" mistakes made in the next gen consoles, except Nintendo, they will keep milking the Mario brand/franchise and suing people until there is no more Nintendo.
Thanks for the link!
Wow. Thanks for the search terms. I must have missed that in 2024.
