So they don't censor model output, they censor training data.

I could not disagree more. The ones who did nothing are the parents, leaving their kid with an experimental chatbot while it needed actual human attention and love. The parents are just pointing fingers to deflect the blame, but should be sued for gross negligence.

Meanwhile, management is pledging that "AI will only make us more productive, don't worry about your job!"

A search popularity index is just vanity. It signals which languages require the most web searches instead of being productive out of the box. Instead, languages should be weighted by user exposure; which languages dominate the software people use daily. I'd say ECMAscript/Typescript at #1, Java/Kotlin at #2, C/C++ at #3, then Swift/ObjC, then trailed by C#, PHP, SQL, and then a whole lot of nothing.

Not sure which desktop PC store is worse, Apple's or Microsoft's. I can't believe developers pay either to host their software in those graveyards. Search doesn't work, most products are scammy copies, reviews and ratings are doctored, and there is no guarantee any app will actually work as advertised.

Of the1.5 billion active Windows users, apparently 250 million visit the store once a month. Although, most get there by accidentally clicking the store icon on their taskbar once a month and are too lazy to remove that icon.

Gold's minimum price will always be the cost to mine it. Can't do that with Bitcoin as iit has no intrinsic value, only speculation.

You can call anyone a dickhead if you do it in the right setting and use some redirection. saying things like "that is a bit of a dickhead move", "people might call you a dickhead if you do that", or even more directly "pardon my language, mind if i call you a dickhead for that?", or my favorite "we used to have a coworker who would have shouted `dickhead!` at you for that" won't remotely get you fired.

Sure, but my subscription contract doesn't specify that you have location services enabled. Or that you should watch from your home only, your kids can't have sleepovers, you can't watch on vacation, at work, or anywhere they don't approve of, before labelling you as a pirate or a cheapskate.

The recent changes to streaming subscriptions - ads, crackdown on "sharing", shows that are either absurdly woke, or plain vulgar, cemented it: no more streaming subscriptions. I will pirate everything from now on, just like we did 25 years ago.

You don't seem to understand the copyright system and fair use. It was set up to give creators a temporary monopoly to reward their work while ensuring that, after a reasonable time, society gains free access to those works. Fair use allows limited uses like commentary, criticism, or analysis (such as breaking down a song’s structure) even before copyright expires.

Are you a LLM? There are ways to train you against hallucinations.

This would be the most useful - be able to have conversations with Gemini while driving, integrated in Android Auto. Ask it to play my music (not just YouTube) read my email (not just gmail) read my calendar (you know the drill) and so on. Google has no idea what their users want - maybe because they aren't the customers, but the product.

Yeah, that line is completely ridiculous and even freightening. What exactly is "correct copyright awareness" and how do you "instill it in a user"? Who decided on that? Does the user have a choice?

I bet you don't even have a TV! https://theonion.com/area-man-...

That is nonsense. Only the Windows OS keys are tied to the hardware. Normal apps are tied to your Microsoft account. And who buys legit software off Ebay?
