I saw a jumping spider while I was brushing my teeth, and I jumped back and she kinda cautiously prepared to run, so I said "Oh no I'm sorry lil spider I didn't mean to scare you! You keep doing your thing, buddy! And she relaxed and then moved under the sink so I wouldn't accidentally squish her while I brushed

I thought nothing of it until I saw her on my way the next day, and I said "Hi!" And waved, and she waved back lol

She waved back every time I saw her so I am pretty sure I made a friend/familiar

Apple ( slrpnk.net )

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't...

The FBI demonstrated during the San Bernardino shooting investigation that Apple must purposefully put backdoors in their devices, as the FBI was able to independently crack the phone, which isn't possible without a backdoor or a security flaw so poor that a third-world hacker could access it with some level of effort or knowledge.

Do not trust Apple with your privacy, even less so than Google. At least Google will allow you to see everything they've collected on you and prevent random bad actors from accessing your data, which is something we can't be sure of with apple. This isn't about which is the more moral company, it's about which is more dangerous to the consumer. Complete lack of control over your computing environment will only make sense in cases where you're expected to have a complete lack of knowledge of computers and someone else does the thinking and manages your device.

It's not a fallacy to appeal to an independent intellectual authority. Do you disregard all research papers because they're tainted by authority? Photonic computing is very real, and an ignorance of it doesn't make you an expert on the validity of a claim. Perhaps you could try reading more to correct this issue. How long have you worn that fedora without washing it?

I hope to see this man at the gay bar so I can instruct unscrupulous people to get a clean lick on a rotten weasel

So instead of changing the laws you would rather...just let it happen? Alternatively, you don't have to obey the law. Enamel paint is very cheap and easy to apply to lenses. I think breaking the machines would curb their use, no?

How to constructively protest against AI voice transcription at work?

As a medical doctor I extensively use digital voice recorders to document my work. My secretary does the transcription. As a cost saving measure the process is soon intended to be replaced by AI-powered transcription, trained on each doctor's voice. As I understand it the model created is not being stored locally and I have no...

Unfortunately a guy I know works for a gov hospital and they've used such technology for over a decade at this point. It seems unavoidable.

AMC to Pay $8 Million for Alleged Violation of Video Privacy Law Through Use of Tracking Technologies, Including Meta Pixel, X Tracking Pixel, and Google Tracking Technology ( arstechnica.com )

According to subscribers suing, AMC allegedly installed tracking technologies—including the Meta Pixel, the X Tracking Pixel, and Google Tracking Technology—on its website, allowing their personally identifying information to be connected with their viewing history....

Okay, but in that situation we don't say that the market has punished that business. They should be hurt worse than they could any other way, so there isn't a possibility that they profit in net, or have a loss equivalent with legitimate business practices. Otherwise, there is no real deterrent to the behavior.

It blows the liberal mind when Putin tells the truth.

I had a mental breakdown a while ago because I was in denial of my gender identity. I...can't remember much of it, but it wasn't great, according to my loved ones. I'm ashamed of it and I wish I could do anything that I felt would properly apologize to them but I'm sure it traumatized many of them, as I've done in the past. Before I blacked out, I can remember that mandalas would appear on surfaces my mind wanted me to focus on, twisting and seething with an entrancing psychedelic energy that forced me to focus on that task. I've never experienced terror more complete than losing control of both my body and mind, and I've almost been trampled in a human stampede, blocking people from trampling others and picking up fallen children off the ground. Life is better now that I have estrogen in my system, but I imagine it would be intolerable otherwise. I hope I can forgive myself one day. I have therapy soon, so that will help a lot.

I see it this way:
If you want a mathematically "unique" idea, it should be "perpendicular" to the rest of your thinking. If things contradict, they "intersect". An LLM CAN do such a thing, but it needs the appropriate context to achieve true perpendicularity to all dimensions. The space of problems the LLMs know how to solve is much smaller than the space we've utilized. Their problem solving space is only increasing. We need to socialize these machines now, imo. They are nascent but very dangerous. I think we're lucky they're mostly being used to farm content.

I mean

I found trans porn on my dad's computer

If he came out as trans I would have a lot of trauma as well to process since when I was a child he did everything in his power to keep me from being trans
