I hear his big thing is to remove the power button from their entire line for being superfluous.

We need to reassess our relationships between ourselves and our communities and nation.

I suspect that’s much harder to do if you are one of the people your nation is trying to kill, deport or enslave.

That’s why they’re so sycophantic.

At least in my experience, that behavior was easily squashed via the customization blurb in the settings. When I talk to my ai client, I don’t get accolades, pandering or attaboys. It just tells me if if thinks my idea will work(it often points out my failures in logic) or answers the question I ask in a conversational tone. Since it provides links to all sources used in the answer, it’s easy for me to read up on what it used and decide if it’s a solid foundation of info.

The rest of your reply to my comment doesn’t really require a response from me since I never said it was the solution. I merely pointed out why some people are grasping at that particular straw.

Could you expand on your thoughts? Are you speaking of the people using ai as a therapist or confidant? I wouldn’t but, at least in the US, younger people have been priced out of professional care.

Aside from that, many have ended up in a hostile country so casual smalltalk with randos has become much less appealing.

I can see the appeal of eschewing society as a whole in favor of a bot that I know won’t ask me my political or religious leanings and then tailor their behavior around my answer.

Been doing it for years. You can poop and pee anywhere at any speed already.

There’s a reason and the reason will likely be revealed to be kickbacks and payoffs.

Of course they do. That was literally my point. Musk didn’t bother to hide it so we don’t need new studies to show that’s how they operate.

Absolutely nobody needed a new study to show the risks. We all saw what could happen as Musk altered Grok to behave in manners that he approved of.

II absolutely love that multilingual in the language of rant. You deserve more ups than I can give.

I’ve been pegged as one who serially modals online.

They have been surveiling us for years. They just to maximize what they can collect.

As an American, I say let’s fucking go!

Went from one billionaire’s pet project to another’s and am shocked… SHOCKED, I say! That it’s the same drivel and slop.

…Americans may be inadvertently waiving the privacy protections they’re entitled to under the law.

We have no protections and no privacy, laws or no.

The ONLY reason the industry cares is because of the fake streamers part of this. They not only welcome ai music, platforms like Spotify are creating ai music of their own so they can cut out the pittance they pay the artists.

This is not a goodguys-win story.

If anyone missed them removing the “we will never sell your data” from their promise to their users, this is clearly their next step in monetizing their users.

It strikes me as a joke/sarcastic jab at the industry.

Tired of putting “Portions of this software…” in your documentation? Those maintainers worked for free—why should they get credit?

…and suddenly your entire proprietary codebase must be open sourced. The horror!

I’m surprised anyone could take the site seriously.

Ford already knows you want expensive but cool.

I’ve never used the site but I can respect the letter of notice.

Who’s dumb enough to believe it was ever for child safety?
