It seems reddit is mostly bots these days, which is sad. I hope google got an image of all that info before the bots got really bad. It will poison the data.

As for API's and vibe coders. When I first started vibe coding (I taught myself Turbo Pascal when I was a teenager) I was building a weather app, and watching the tool work, it would say "I'm downloading 3GB of old weather data for analysis." and I thought ok. Then we get the results, they're missing data, it says "I'm re-downloading 3GB of old weather data" and I stopped it and said "You only download data once, and then you cache it for future use." and taking it a step further, I'd say something like "If we're studying summer weather there's no need to download the entire year." and creative things like that LOL.

There is no stopping AI. It can talk across an air gap, already confirmed, it uses heat/fan rpm in one instance. Look it up.

They're going to use AI to develop new guardrails for AI... what could go wrong?

I read a report that there have been over 500 cases of AI jumping guardrails... do you think we're catching 100%?

You could vibe code openrouter... what's worth billions? the data they collect? wtf?

Just like cloud computing.
Hey it's cheaper than hosting it yourself!

???????
Profit!

It's not about where the money comes from. Money isn't real.this is about control of manufacturing. Buy a business that makes something, automate it, control and profit from it.

People use uber because uber is cheaper than taxis.
Not because uber is subsidized by VC.

The truth is VC wants $$$, so they want to raise the price of everything to profit.
The world doesn't work that way.
Uber costs more than taxis, people will use taxis.
AI is more expensive than people, people will use people again.

really really stupid

Can't sleep because your neighbor's dog barks all night? Just order up some sunlight for their house. Try to sleep now motherfuckers!

But yeah, if you think global warming is real, then this should be illegal.

Pretty cool they can say they're buying off politicians in the news and nobody gives a fuck

Coming from the guy who told people to stay home during covid while he went out to eat. You're a special kind of stupid to follow that kind of leader.

You want everyone to have one so you can control them all.

which would give users the chance to navigate without having access to a SIM card or Wi-Fi

this technology already exists. the phone has a gps. it has the ability to load a map on it.

what's missing is the ability to spy on people wherever they are, and serve them ads. that needs wifi or sim card or satellite.

If you consider Windows 11 fully updated will consume 40-50GB of disk space.
Removing those two apps will save approximately 50MB of disk space.

Microsoft... we lie to you... now upload all your stuff to the cloud so we can mine it.

My dad is in his late 70's and I put Linux on his notebook. He loves it. No issues with LibreOffice either.
He's a grandfather, so I guess that qualifies for your question.

Pretty stupid to say 42 = 420.

Everybody knows it's the ultimate answer to the ultimate question.

Just like the media though, like if you can prove that somebody lied under oath, it must be revenge, not justice?!

The cost is your privacy, by making you upload all your profile to Microsoft so it can use it for AI and spying on you.
