That's what historians will call it. Assuming we survive world war 3.

If you look at the through line between the first two industrial revolutions you're going to find massive technological unemployment that we all just gloss over in the history books. You don't even begin to get a discussion of it until 200 level history courses.

I've forgotten most of it but I briefly dabbled with being a historian in college so I took a few of those courses.

And yeah we have massive amounts of technological unemployment until the two world wars killed enough people and blew up enough stuff that we got back to full employment.

At the time we only had about 3 billion people so there was quite a bit of land to expand into. We've used up that land. There is still plenty of space but not the super cheap readily available resources that the greatest generation and boomers were able to expand into in order to maintain full employment.

And we certainly do not have the government programs and spending needed to maintain that expansion even if we had the space. Because that's communisms.

So yeah we are about to have another round of massive technological unemployment and that's going to create a massive amount of social unrest. On top of that climate change is causing droughts which will put pressure on the food supply.

You can already see the cracks forming with democracy's collapsing around the world. Wars are starting back up with Russia doing the first major land grab war in decades. And the rest of the world just kind of let them do it. Because we're busy with our own fascists.

Eventually the social unrest will bubble over and fascists will get put in charge because they will promise simple solutions to complex problems.

That will result in an economic collapse because fascists are as bad at running countries and they will conduct wars to loot other nations in order to fill their coffers and keep their citizens under control.

Only this time we've got nukes.

The fact that folks don't know history and haven't bothered to look into what llms can actually do isn't going to stop any of the above from happening. No matter how far you put your head in the sand it's still going to get lopped off

How do air conditioners help cause global warming? From the electricity use? The solution there is to shift electricity production to cleaner sources, not to kill people with air conditioner bans.

Europe's electricity is already relatively clean anyway. Less than a third comes from fossil fuels, shrinking over time.

Why? Most people actually don't care / don't understand how it works or why the should like it or not. To them it is just a feature that works the way marketing tells them it works.

I absolutely can believe every company goes through with every feature they propose: because they think they can make money doing it.

So what you're saying is we have a risk that can't be closed in one way (paying), so we need to manage it by closing it a different way (backups / business continuity plans).

Hardening is the wrong approach. Step 1 is to have a disaster recovery plan, step 2 is to invest in preventing the disaster.

Implicitly they are, that's how these features with blocking APIs work.

Because only a small subset of applications are sensitive and would be required to disable this. It's the same with screenshotting. There's a difference between screenshotting a meme and your banking app. The OS can't know something is sensitive unless the app tells it.

If you the user are concerned about a feature (that keeps all data encrypted on your local machine) the feature can be trivially disabled.

Since the first preview build.

The option of which has also existed since the first preview build. Some of us want more fine grained control over this.

Literally all of them are in the same place located in the obvious Settings > Privacy and Security part of the systems settings. If you're privacy concerned you can literally just open that one menu and toggle everything off.

It's not complex, it's not difficult, it's definitely not hidden. But I do agree with you that some people may be too stupid to use computers.

It has a dedicated tab including a toggle right at the top to disable it under Settings > Privacy and Security.

If you mean they are "hiding how to turn it off" by putting it in the most painfully obvious place to look and control a feature, then sure. That's not how the word "hiding" works but sure buddy.

Also there are 3 other ways to disable recall beyond the most blindingly obvious.

We just covered this on a Slashdot story further up: https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...

We gave up on brains long before AI. See Also: 2016 election.

Of course I am, we make assumptions based on what is provided. Now your tech explained how to do it, I will make the assumption that your tech is still bad since he (another assumption, maybe it was she) relied on humans to implement something that only successfully works when it is automated or has a strict periodic alerting system in place.

I don't even trust myself to implement backups without a system in place to remind me to do them.

In Germany, even possession of such a device (without using it) is illegal unless it is clearly and well-visibly a recording device. And recording a conversation without informed consent (i.e. you must explain storage, purpose, deletion, etc.) is illegal under the GDPR all over Europe.

Exactly. And then they should have those 100x engineers create 10'000x engineers in the next step!

No idea. I have stopped using Google a few years ago. Just too abysmally bad.

Everybody lags behind the claims that are being made and the "demos" that get faked, because most of the things claimed are not even possible at this time and may never be possible. The problem seem to be that some "managers" do not know that.

Probably just LoC produced, no testing, no maintenance, no security and no reviews to bring quality and security up to what a competent coder would have produced in the first place. 0.01x the time is not even enough to understand the task in most real coding that does more than toy examples.
