The chat space is problematic.

• There are a lot of apps that don’t encrypt at all (e.g. Google chat, discord, etc)
• There are apps that encrypt but they are subject to jurisdictions that can or may in the future force backdoors (e.g., Chinese apps, possibly telegram, possibly US apps in the future)
• There are apps that encrypt, are in countries that are privacy focused but are not for free (e.g., threema)

This contributes to a fragmentation that makes WhatsApp the app that-you-must-have

Sure it is supposedly encrypted but I would not bet my money that is without back doors

Except that countries like Canada has laws that makes it possible to happen

I would be curious to read a reference to that… not that any country cares just they history on how they agreed on something like that

Not walking can lead to heart issues. You really should stop using this car

And by major, here we mean a free newspaper of mediocre quality that is distributed at the tram/bus stops.

I hate that nowadays AI == LLM/chatbot.

I love the AI classifiers that keep me safe from spam or that help me categorise pictures. I love the AI based translators that allow me to write in virtually any language almost like a real speaker.

What I hate is these super advanced stocastic parrots that manage to pass the Turing test and, so, people assume they think.

I am pretty sure that they asked specifically about LLM/chatbots the percentage of people not caring would be even higher

Right they should have peacefully be annexed to Soviet Union 2.0

I guess you would have gone with that

Hey in the middle age people weren’t working that much… more first Industrial Revolution 🙂

Would the US leave the NATO military bases in Europe? Because that would be huge and would reduce a lot the US military presence in Europe. And, with that, influence in Europe…

Hahaha No.

Kinda, yeah. Gaming workstation + Network card (and optics) from fs.com + Nixos.

This setup has the benefit that my workstation has also all possible bandwidth. Services run in nixos containers (that are awesome!) for isolation from the routing.

I do 🙂

Written in Switzerland from my 25GBps symmetric connection (for like 60$/month) that I have for a couple of years 🤷‍♂️

Also for personal use the difference between 1Gbps and 25 (or, I guess, 100GBps) is essentially zero… your everyday connection is via WiFi (good luck to get more than 1GBps there) or on a home server/NAS/workstation where likely you run batch jobs where the difference between 1 minute or 5 minutes is not a huge deal (and yes I am not saying 1 vs 25 because at that speed generally the bottleneck is the place where you are getting data from)

All DEI fault for this failure

/s (if it wasn’t obvious 🙂)

No… and what is your point?

Given we are already seeing AI applications in Military… I suspect Asimov was a bit optimistic 😅

Training a combat pilot used to cost (in early 2000, not sure now) 10M€ for a NATO member.

Find me a modern jet that costs so little. Regardless of what politicians say, human life has a price… and it is waaaay below a jet (even including the training)

As far as I heard (but I am not too familiar) the CEO is essentially never in the office.

Also, according to the video, the office is in California. People were arrested (and fired) in NY as well (where there is no such an office).

Yes, insubordination is the key point. But it’s also the key point of a protest. The take away is that Google doesn’t accept a protest (any more?)

Re trespassing: in the Google offices everyone can pretty much go to any office. They realistically didn’t break into but, sure, they were in an office that wasn’t theirs

Confidentially incorrect: at Google there is no clock in and no clock out (for employees, contractors is different). At Google you can work 1h per day or 20h per day you earn the same. Performances are assessed on the output not on the hour worked.

So, no, find another reason for which Google is right. Popular topic is “they disrupt other people work by making noise” (of course people can work on a laptop in another place because there is generally no special equipment at the desk but details) or “they destroyed properties… you cannot see in the picture but they destroyed millions of precious bacteria on the floor”

There is difference between peaceful protest and sabotage. Exactly like there is a difference between discussing with someone and punch them in the face.

If you think people should not discuss because it’s pointless and should directly switch to punch in the face I suspect you are not necessarily the internet stranger I want to listen to

Can’t remember but at the time I wasn’t drinking alcohol… I was a real celebrity at parties 😂😂
