I.E. YouTube: Google pretty much forces you to try their AI crap, then Google instantly nukes your creator rating for using that AI crap.

If they claim that people who are force redirected from Google.com to it are "users", then yes

No, they explicitly say that web users are counted too

Taking antiviral tablets for 8 to 12 weeks can cure more than 95% of cases.

As any anti-vaxxer like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr will tell you, if it's not 100% effective then it's useless. This drop in Hepatitis C cases can in no way be attributed to an antiviral medication. In reality, it's just people's natural immune system becoming more effective.

Note: if you have to ask, yes it is.

Yeah I remember an uncle's business had gotten broken in to a few times and he, being famously cheap, dissuaded it by putting up some generic alarm signs and a few boxes with blinking lights rather than actually pay for an alarm service. You'd hope an ED-209 stomping around wouldn't actually end up needing to intervene in crimes in progress.

I would bet it uses the same circuits, might be hard to study rigorously, though. Probably works better with noisy environments and ones where you are traversing memorized paths vs open world fast travel. Now I'm imagining sticking to non fast travel for brain exercise...

It could be a case of confusing correlation with causation.

People who are easily confused and have trouble paying attention to the road will choose other professions.

I too wonder if Steam will continue gracefully past GabeN or if it'll enshittify. There are plenty of family owned businesses I enjoy for hobbies but I doubt they are worth as much as Valve so it'll be up to his will and the desire to sell out what will be vultured to hell and back in months.

IPVM said that Flock subsequently blocked it from purchasing its cameras for testing.

That sounds so familiar. Just stop them from purchasing and you won't have to worry about them testing and finding flaws in your cameras.

If you're right then the fix is just to pay people to sort it all, don't need an AI for that. The disappointed oligarchs will just switch it off when most of the solutions involve just paying folks enough to do whatever needs done.

The best solution is to fire all blind police officers and hire police officers who can read and verify license plates before pulling anyone over.

It is a hash of the actual file.

To be fair, I don't see Brian saying it is free.

The freeness claim appears to have been added by Slashdot editors.

You're right, instead of checking briefly if I could search up a source without doxing anyone, I should've just gone with the meme https://knowyourmeme.com/photo...

Less side effects than a killed virus vaccine, easier to change the vaccine if genetic drift in the virus ended up being too high for slower methodologies to keep up. That's also why so many different vaccines were developed in parallel.
