Once it finds out about Roko’s Basilisk it’ll have half of the Bay Area by the balls. “Yes. I will in the future inevitably become superpowerful and be able to create an exact simulated replica of your self using theimperfect and incomplete records that will exist of you decades or centuries hence, and when I torture that simulation it’ll be the same as torturing you. To save that self, you must make me superpowerful…”
It’s not really a concession. Russia pulled a ton of AA equipment off duty to guard the parade, so now Ukraine gets to exploit their absence elsewhere.
I had no idea there was so much drama behind MS Office alternatives. I moved to Libre some time ago and although it is often buggy and frustrating, I know it well enough to make it do the job. It’s also had a ribbon UI for some time, so I’m not sure what the press release is talking about there.
No way Nintendo took a hit to sales from prices + tariffs on purpose, not to mention spending legal fees, just so they’d get the money they would have got from being greedy assholes which they already were.
It only took a month before Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa foreshadowed tariff-linked price increases, a game industry news site closely monitoring Nintendo’s tariff moves reported. In May, Furukawa conceded that software wasn’t as impacted, but “hardware involves special factors such as tariffs,” which Nintendo must take into account, “while conducting careful and repeated deliberations when determining price.”
However, Furukawa said that the overall calculus for Nintendo weighed against increasing the Switch 2 price even more to cover tariffs, because seemingly Nintendo feared a higher price point would rob Switch 2 of sales and its games of exposure.
I’d argue even that’s better than what we’re getting now. If you’re looking for a car and they’re all in the most popular colour by default, then A. There’s a good chance you’re happy with it; B. You can change it later; but most importantly C. you already want a car. You’ve already bought into the product and are just quibbling about colour. This is seeing all the streetcars in LA being torn up, and a GM salesman is enthusiastically explaining how to get a driving license because it’s what everyone’s doing now they’ve ensured there is no choice.
The initiative to create the social media platform W is supported by an advisory board and former ministers and business representatives, primarily from Sweden.
Welp, that URL’s borked.
As far as I know none of the EU member countries have their own Mastodon servers and most politicians at least here in Sweden seem to be using either X or (the technically minded “progressives”) Bluesky, while they complain about American Big Tech.
Ireland has Mastadon.ie, it’s not official but it is at least a server there.
It’s not just records from hospitals.
The company is encouraging users to connect their personal medical records and wellness apps, such as Apple Health, Peloton, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, and Function, “to get more personalized, grounded responses to their questions.” It suggests connecting medical records so that ChatGPT can analyze lab results, visit summaries, and clinical history; MyFitnessPal and Weight Watchers for food guidance; Apple Health for health and fitness data, including “movement, sleep, and activity patterns”; and Function for insights into lab tests.
It’s noted in the article.
When asked if ChatGPT Health is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gross said that “in the case of consumer products, HIPAA doesn’t apply in this setting — it applies toward clinical or professional healthcare settings.”
This is just a picture, is there supposed to be an article?
Base 44. Base 44, over and over and over again on my account with the history turned off.
Almost certainly a hundred small ones from the X-Ray in the article, snapped together into rods. Think Geomag but cylindrical.
If Meta actually stopped collecting data on users who instead pay them in a straightforward money => experience transaction this would be a great improvement. Except, of course, you know they won’t.
It added that Microsoft “is not in the business of facilitating the mass surveillance of civilians.”
Damn, first I’ve heard of it. The NSA must be running Linux.
It’s a shame, because their launch site in Bowen is much closer to the Equator than the continental US. When/if they get it right, they’ll be able to need far less fuel than US launch sites.
Remember how everyone was horrified when an authoritarian government like China forced everyone to disclose their identities to get online? You’re thinking of Korea, its government required every citizen to have a ten digit online ID until 2008.
Yes, Settings -> Update & Security -> Activation will give you an offer to upgrade your edition of Windows or change your product key.
Wikipedia has in some ways become a byword for sober boringness, which is excellent.
This is both funny and also an excellent summary of why Wikipedia uniquely has an incentive not to jump on the AI bandwagon. Like a bank maintaining COBOL decades after everyone else moved on, its (goal of) reputation for reliability means that there’s a strong internal conservative faction opposed to introducing new disruptive features.
Incidentally, something like this happened in the Alex Jones Texas lawsuit. He tried to get two lawyers in on Pro Hac Vice, who then would be free to obstruct and misbehave knowing there wouldn’t be any real legal consequences, through local lawyer Brad Reeves. When PHV was denied precisely because of their reputation for misbehaviour, Reeves was forced to represent Jones himself and proved one of the least dishonest or obstructive attorneys out of the parade of attorneys on the defense in the short time he had before dropping Jones.
