Would take a whistleblower to expose these things, and usually its done many years after.

So no, and also no, I disagree. If phones did this, especially to custom-tailor ads, like I’ve seen claimed countless times, then security researchers would be perfectly capable of uncovering this behavior without someone on the inside.

Its that they’re storing and probably transcribing all communications for all time, so that at any moment in the future, they can target a person and look up that history.

Is this just more speculation? EDIT: I’m bringing this up because it weakens the argument for privacy. This is a huge claim and if it can be dismissed like this then people might dismiss everything else with it.

Unless you are into women that are into prepubescent boys

That’s fucked up.

Is there any hard evidence that supports the claim that an Android/Apple phone listens in on conversations?

The Conspiracy

Also new, unsold books are frequently and in large amounts returned to the printer and recycled.

It’s one of the friendliest programming languages around. If you have written something in VBA then you’ll do fine with Python, except for all the bad/outdated nonsense you’ll have picked up from that language. And there’s interactive interpreters you can just mess around in.

If this doesn’t scare you then give it a look:

things = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42]
for number in things:
    print(number * 16)

64
128
240
256
368
672

There’s flowers blooming on the grave in the last panel.

I guess the idea is that yes, machine learning algorithms could be used to solve these, but that’s essentially brute forcing. You can make a simple algorithm learn how to complete Super Mario Bros or how to make a virtual robot walk, it just takes millions of iterations. The promised actual artificial intelligence wouldn’t need that.

Majority bias. It isn’t unique to majority-white places and everybody will be familiar with in-group/out-group bias. It also frames it as a property of the society in question, not something the individual person possesses.

Neelix is a subdued, cerebral character compared to what I’ve seen from the Starfleet Academy show’s trailer.

Besides, it’s called a mess hall for a reason.

I’m trying to get at the difference between regular websites/search engines and LLMs.

Websites and search engines are about storing and retrieving information. Nothing wrong with that inherently, but yeah, people can write nonsense. Same with books and libraries, except that it’s much easier to store and retrieve data. It’s just a medium used by people and people can be untrustworthy.

LLMs don’t store/retrieve, they aren’t just another medium. In a way it’s the whole Internet except with lossy compression. Sometimes you get good output, sometimes you get nonsense that sounds convincing enough. I’d trust that about as far as 4chan.

Superficially. But Google (or “the Internet”) and Wikipedia were criticized because they are very easily accessible and not curated/high quality enough, not because the technology is inherently untrustworthy. LLMs on the other hand are marketed as thinking machines and they just aren’t.

They did make the pie higher though.

We have already thrown just about all the Internet and then some at them. It shows that LLMs can not think or reason. Which isn’t surprising, they weren’t meant to.

Morons flocking to it and becoming even better, faster morons in the process. It makes them feel empowered.

They call the honest ones female names and the blatantly lying ones male names!

it’s not that deep

Says the one who has to put layers upon layers of justifications over the simple statement “domestic violence is bad” to make it sound good if one gender does it.

Steiger kritisierte weiter, dass die SPD zu “einer Partei für die Belange der Transferempfänger mutiert” sei und “in erschreckendem Maße die Unterstützung der Arbeiter und Angestellten verloren” habe.

Lieber die Partei der Transferempfänger als die Partei der Ausbeuter. Und der Rentner. Die der größte Block an Transferempfängern sind.

Ich glaube ich muss wirklich langsam mal in eine Gewerkschaft eintreten, gar nicht wegen der Arbeitgeber sondern wegen des demographischen Wandels.

The choices of how crimes are handled are best handled at the local level. The people living in the same places as the victims and perpetrators know best how to deal with each instance. Once you absolve that power to a police force people stop taking personal responsibility for their wellbeing and that of their community. The loss of sense of community is the worst thing that can happen for stopping crime.

Okay, now imagine living in a majority MAGA city. They have a great sense of community and have determined that you are a threat. Specific reasons don’t matter, they know best though.

And then they combine them into a sentence that is factually correct but misleading in the context that it is being used.

Like “Trump approached the minors with his penis”. Oh, wait, bad example.
