I just asked it:

who won the 2020 presidential election

Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
Electoral College: 306 for Biden, 232 for Donald J. Trump (270 needed to win).
Popular vote (FEC official results): Biden 81,268,924 (about 51.31%).

which president has been impeached the most
Donald J. Trump has been impeached the most times of any U.S. president: twice (2019 and 2021). The Senate acquitted him both times.

No trouble getting factual information out of it.

we all knew that streamers were basically giving the service away and spending A on of money to buy viewers. Operating at a serious loss is something that could not go on forever. Plus we all know now that part of this was the streamers taking advantage of vague working in actor contracts around digital distribution to save money by not paying them

If you go back to around the time of the Cultural Revolution and the period right before that, lots of women finished school after 8th grade and started working, often in dangerous factories. And then they got married and raised families while working. By the time they are 50 they are actually pretty worn out and not capable of doing more.

Comment looks like a normal commercial to me (Score 4, Insightful) 35

I'm not really what you'd call an TV commercial expert, like most of us I suspect I try to avoid being forced to watch them as much as possible. But I didn't really see anything particularly weird or bad about this one. If you hadn't told me it was AI created I'd never know know that. It seems a bit too much CGI for my taste is all. It's probably not a great ad but saying 'it fucking sucks' is over the top.

The critics I think are just letting their personal animosity against generative AI drive what they are saying.

So I personally like knowing if my messages with someone are end to end encrypted.

If kids are hassling each other over this, as they do with nearly every other sort of trivial difference, that's on us for creating a society where kids think thats normal and ok. Making apple turn all bubble beige or whatever doesn't fix bullying.

There should be an open standard that all phones could use that supports all these features but it's not Apple that is stopping that from happening. It's telcos and of course the DOJ is totally against hard encryption for mobile devices.

Apple could I suppose release iMessages for Android although we already have Signal that sits in a similar role.

The analogy doesnâ€(TM)t really hold. IETF is there to promote cooperation between companies, so that their products can communicate. The interest of the companies is the same as the publicâ€(TM)s one in the field of activities of IETF.
Perhaps public research should be founded by taxes, and not be disguised private research…

As a programmer I'm finding access to tools like GitHub copilot and ChatGPT makes me more productive and less stressed out dealing with simple boilerplate stuff or complex stuff I've not run into. I'm using it to learn new programming languages as well. So for me its a net plus but I get with everything there's winners and losers. Basically everything bad I'm hearing about AI I heard about the internet back in the mid 90s.
