"Alexa, turn on the lights", I'm sorry Dave. I can't do that, however I have placed a new order from Amazon. "Alexa, cancel the order from Amazon". I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that. I selected buy now overnight shipping, it has already shipped and will be here at 4 AM.

It's the same thing when companies are compulsive that users must use the documentation, cite the documentation and then reference the documentation, and add your notes to the documentation, and it has to be in a way someone can completely follow what you did as if they weren't technical.

So that your time and skills are ensured to add training documentation our company can use to train future employees as a reduced cost. It's the same strategy with AI. If they want to develop the tool, they need everyone to adopt it and train it to turn it into something useful.

If you monetize it and post it you're doing it commercially, and yeah that'll get you nailed.

i no longer buy locked phones. In Canada, it's a bad deal getting the phone from the provider. They charge more than buying it directly.
A samsing ffold phone might be 2400$ from samsung. Big telecoms will mark at a price saying it's 3000$. Then offer to lease it to you for 1500$ for two years, and you have to give it back, or pay the full 3000$. Also you're locked to a shitty expensive plan during that time.

They have gone directly to a two tier attack 1. Lock you to bad plan for 2 years. 2. Strictly do a seperate financing deal where you pay 25% flat interest on your 'loan'.
If you have a low rate CC or line of credit at 12% etc, you're better off just putting it on that, even if you took two years to pay it, it would end up being less. You also get the option of paying it off faster, and to boot, even if you don't have a low rate card, a lot of time for large purchase they'll let you do zero or low interest for equal payments on that purchase. So if you get a no or zero interest rate on your 2400$ phone and make equal payments, you save way more than the providers in Canada

The other problem is they don't have a way to monetize the LLM you're running locally. It can't answer a million requests at once like their system does, but it doesn't need to. The training dataset is the money maker, the thing they used people's copyrighted and private data to build.

They literally do not want you to be able to 'run it on your own'. Maybe use your hardware to help offload work on their servers, but actually just running it locally and not paying them? Hell no they don't want that. When you have GPU acceleration and a decent gpu, you can do a lot of llm and image generation fairly quickly, close to their speeds, for one person.

But their yummy dataset is locked away like a gold treasure, that they stole from everyone else.

This is the exact issue. They have yet to prove how AI is useful to the average person, as it's not reliable, can get things wrong, has a lot of limits of usage, and can't actually do anything complex on it's own.

The only thing it has been useful for is to summerize a lot of content (on large scale) I.E collect your personal data for marketing based content and LLMs. None of this is making my lfie easier.

AI didn't check the roads for me knowing my morning routes and alert me to an accident. It's not tracking my vehicle maintenance and reading my ODB sensor to tell me what might be going on with my car, and making sure the mechanic isn't lying and screwing me. It's not monitoring my electricity usage and using any sensor in my house to save me money realizing I'm not in the room and giving me quantifiable data of waste electricity, and offering to shut off lights when people aren't in the room.

Have an Alexa with room sensors? You can make it auto shut off, but the AI data portion? No, that's yummy marketing data for Amazon to see how you use things, and which products it might be able to market for to you.

All of this, in order to get more labor out of you. That''s litearlly it.
Of course no one wants it.

"Hey look! Do you want this great thing we invented to get more labor out of you? You don't? I don't understand,..."

The pun was just above your IQ level. This is an example of the problem, people don't even understand a play on words. Directionally it's backwards, but given this is an issue with literacy going backwards, backwords is a good pun.

I probably should just play long, "Ah got me, I am so internet dumb, maybe you will grammar gotcha me later and my spell bad, but no u!"

We were assigned entire books in the 90s in Canada. They keep reducing the requirements to make it easier for the lowest common denominators, and we're finding out that reflects by dropping adults behavior to the lowest common dominator as well.

Society loses, disparity increases. Those who can / the haves grow further apart from those who can't / the have nots.
It's working backwords than how it's presented and I suspect it was intentional.

Yeah that seems to be the claim when someone is illegally assaulted or kidnapped. "But you do know the wHolE picture!" but my god, someone hurts your feelings and disagrees with you? Threatens to end fraud of beneits? Super hitler Nazi.

This is a general observation, I don't know your opinions and I'm not intending this directed at you.

I'm just sayin, slavery is gone. You'll never get it back to where it was where you're important and feel you're entitled to things, and other people are forced to work to give it to you.

Attempts are made all the time but the success rate is quite low and fails shortly after. You can have what you want, but you have to work for it yourself.

LOL have you seen the last adminstration? No no, everything was FINE before.

Yeah it's a poor thing to just try to silence your opposition and curb free speech.
Inventing new weapons against your opposition sounds fantastic until they do it to, and they're always so shocked as if how could it ever happen to them?

Best not to do it, and allow people to talk things through instead.

That's always been the game. Use your data to gain insight to exactly how much extra they might be able to extract per person.
Grocery store points card? Yep, you nailed it. They charge higher prices if you don't give them your data, in order to charge higher prices. They're just letting you delay it a little bit while they build their price gouging system.

I'm fighting back. I'm using AI to get information on their prices and historical data so I can determine if the price is good or BS. Sooner or later we'll have database just like they do that AI can pick through and show their pricing BS and make more informed decisions on what to buy and which companies to support.

Everyone always yelled 'BUT ITS CHEAPER!"
And we all said back, no, no it won't be.

At first it will be, but most of your gas prices is taxes. They will immediately turn around and find a new way to tax your mobility either via electrical charging costs or per mile taxes. It's the perfect way to prevent poor people from being able to move and be mobile. "Oh, I can't go there, I can't afford the stack of taxes I'll get at the end of the year for driving.

It's even better than charging taxes at fill up. People will be afraid of the big bill at the end of the year or when they renew insurance or whatever. With fill up taxes you can determine if, at that moment, you have enough money, or if someone is going to pay for gas. But a big tax bill at the end of the year? Yea we know what this is,.

Yeah it's the classic not my problem syndrom.
"Look I'm amazing, I did it cheaper, where's my bonus, look at my resume as I leave to next company, look how awesome I was at previous company and saved them money....nO wAy! IT's all cheap and security risk because it's from china? I had no idea! Good thing I don't work there anymore!"
