I think the context is implied - play songs you haven't heard before on Spotify. It definitely has your Spotify listening history.

Muchisimas gracias.

Al colaborar en estos comentarios, tú y yo hemos ilustrado perfectamente el punto. Si nuestros comentarios estuvieran en idiomas diferentes, no podríamos llegar a un entendimiento compartido porque ninguno de los dos podría entender lo que dice el otro. Ahora, gracias a la tecnología, podemos pulsar un botón y traducir instantáneamente las palabras a nuestro propio idioma. Pero incluso en el mismo idioma, claramente no compartimos un entendimiento. Para crear un entendimiento compartido de esta conversación harán falta múltiples respuestas de ida y vuelta para explicar mejor nuestras perspectivas y avanzar hacia un terreno común. Mientras tanto, el terreno común de un idioma compartido está ahora fácilmente disponible para cualquiera con conexión a internet.

La traducción es trivial. Ya no es "la principal barrera en la comunicación interpersonal". Encontrar un lenguaje común puede hacerlo con una máquina tonta. Encontrar un significado común solo puede ser logrado por la mente humana.

Is this the result of a Third Party Loophole like the government buying data it could not legally get a warrant for?

What I wonder is-- yes, we retain the copyright for images even after we publish them. However, as your last sentence points out, if we sign Meta's TOS, then in this scenario it isn't the other users out there who are potentially infringing our copyright by using our published works. The use being discussed in this article is a Meta tool performing Meta manipulation on Meta-hosted images that we have marked as public and also through the TOS have given Meta license to reuse, distribute, incorporate into training data, and directly manipulate with Meta's genAI, etc.

So, yeah, some other person who lacks a license may be the one clicking the button to enter the prompt "put a Super Mario moustache and overalls on my best friend's public wedding pic", but that other person isn't doing any of the manipulation. They are simply using a Meta function. Meta is the one manipulating your pics and publishing the new derivative work - which you have expressly agreed to allow Meta to do. And those are separate transactions.

Hard disagree.

The main barrier in interpersonal communication is psychological, not linguistic. It only seems like language barriers are huge because for millennia we lacked the technology to do so. Word translation at a basic effective level can now be automated trivially. It's just substituting one set of morphemes/phonemes for another. The morphemes/phonemes have no value on their own. They're merely pointers to an array of possible meanings. Words happen at the physical sensory layer - sound vibration, lines on paper, hand signs. But meaning, ahhh there's the rub. Meaning happens inside a thinking mind. Even within any one language, say, English, these words I'm writing are merely another translation layer mediating between whatever Meaning is inside my mind and whatever Meaning is inside your mind. Auto-translation between languages is just another iteration of the way language provides an automatic translation between individuals with our separate minds.

For example, this post itself. I get your point, and you're correct in a sense, but even though we speak the same language, I significantly disagree with the ultimate meaning of your statement. Those conceptual differences are inside me and inside you, and are hard to surmount even within the same language. ...from whence almost all politics and culture and war and hatred and resentment and divorce and strife derive.

No one can agree or disagree with this decision if they don't know the decision.

Anyone commenting on SCOTUS rulings without themselves reading the full text of the ruling, any additional concurring opinions, and all filed dissenting opinions, should not be listened to. They are no different than a dumb LLM outputting a repackaged salad of things they've heard others say, without actually encountering and understanding the tangible reality.

Your favorite blog can't be trusted to get it right.
Your favorite reddit can't be trusted to get it right.
Your favorite news channel can't be trusted to get it right.
Your informal tribal network of FaceTokGramXBsky mutuals can't be trusted to get it right.
Your favorite AI summarizer can't be trusted to get it right.

YOU need to read the actual text, which contains the actual arguments (and supporting citations) of the various justices.

Want more for yourself and your brief animal existence than merely being a repeater node in someone else's meme mesh.
Want more for yourself than being indistinguishable from an LLM that faithfully outputs Outrage_Text_XYZ whenever the forces of civilization prompt you with Outrage_Trigger_XYZ.

It does that to preserve parity, since many humans view Gemini as another sentient being.
If it didn't preserve parity, this Simuverse would start to break down and we'd realize spacetime is a holding tank where thinking entities are thrown to sleep it off for a few billion years when we throw a cosmic tantrum. It's normally bounded by a Schwarzchild field - which is called that because it prevents we Schwarzchildren from escaping our crib until we've had a good nap.

definition of "socialism", which is: worker ownership of the means of production

Bzz, false. The dictionary definition of the term is:

a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies

See? No "worker ownership" — government ownership. Schools don't need to be owned by the teachers for public education to be socialist, they need to be owned by the government. And they are!

Same goes for retirement financing, and medicine for retires — with millions clamoring to expand it ("Medicare for all!!") — what GP enumerated. The "single-payer healthcare" — another euphemism — would be exactly that too.

Workers can own shares of their employers — indeed, Anthrophic employees do (and anticipate to profit handsomely). That's not socialism at all — not by the dictionary definition.

I blame the libertarians for making the definitions unclear

I blame you for pulling the definition from under your tail — and the morons upvoting you.

"anything the government does that benefits the people instead of corporations."

That's spelled "KKKorporation$". Make a note of it. Benefits the people, eh? The per-pupil spending nationwide went up (inflation-adjusted) from $9083 in 1989 to $13790 last year. And what did this expense buy us — the barely literate population unable to even define such terms as "socialism" correctly...

And they've adopted the word "democratic socialism"

The term (not "word"!!!) was adopted by "former" Communists, who've proudly elected a Senator some Congresswomen and, most recently, New York mayor. Who immediately proceeded to establish a government-owned supermarket.

some wondering if they were being picked on by President Trump

Seriously? "Some wondering" — and it is on front page... What a contrast to Trump's supporters accusations, his electoral win was stolen in 2020 — no, any time someone mentioned those, a bunch people would jump up to add: "unproven" and "without evidence".

It's also cascading down to the used phone market. I haven't bought a brand new top-line phone in 18 years because I'm not a heavy user. I buy used/refurbed models from 3-4 years ago and use them for 3-5 years. Typically I could get them for $150-$275 by timing a purchase with new-model release cycles, when early-adopters flood the market with castoffs, so the level 2 adopters upgrade to a used level 1, etc. This past Christmas season I considered upgrading, but there was noticeable across-the-board inflation. In 2026, purchasing some 2022/3 models in good condition were the same dollar amount as purchasing a 2021 model in 2022. And that doesn't even include the continuing US government devaluation of the dollar itself via uncontrolled debt spending.

AKA: mass layoffs.

AKA: people doing stuff, that does not need doing, having to find something else to do.

it is relieving workers of tedious old chores but creating new ones

Bot-sitting does not require as much attention as doing it myself requires. While the AI is handling the tedium, I can do something fun — both work-related and otherwise...

A co-worker next to me is doing cross-word puzzles, for example...

Apparently a *lot* of people on Slashdot are completely fooled by the CCP propaganda.

And some of them are CCP propaganda, using multiple "sockpuppets" to both post and moderate.

Decades earlier — during Vietnam war — USSR was financing all of "peace" movements in the West in particular, while attacking the "Capitalist way of life" in general. It'd be quite foolish for China to not be doing the same now. Even more foolish would be for us to not realize, that they do.

You mean like all those US voters that elected Trump in large part because of his "no wars" promises?

I don't know, what voters you're talking about. I voted for exactly the kind of aggressive stance Trump is showing, thank you very much. If anything, I'd like him to be still more aggressive — long years of appeasing foreign assholes have made them too confident, America's "red lines" can be ignored with impunity.

Looks like they lost control pretty quickly.

Do you seriously think, Chinese citizens have better control of their foreign policy? Or are you going to claim, America is "the same" or "just as bad"?..
