It’s only getting worse too. The entire US economy is being propped up by AI and crypto. It’s like the sub-prime mortgage craze of the early 2000s. Lots of money going into a system that will never recoup the investment. Either they have to find a way to extract value, or the bottom’s gonna fall out. Just wait for the too big to fail AI and tech bailouts.
That’s a wild take. That’s like saying you’re uncomfortable in the sauna so you moved to the desert.
Every company wants AI even though they have no idea how it helps their business or their company.
My grocery store app does not need AI when they can’t even get search right.
Some things are riskier than others. The point is that you understand the risk and make informed choices.
The only thing I can think of is geolocation for CDNs. Basically to find the geographically closest server based on your location.
places hands over ears screams “LALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU EVERYTHING IS FINE”
Yeah, but I don’t own the bus
I feel like Meta could do a ton more damage with my information than Tencent
Probably the closest thing you can get to in terms of a “privacy” credit card. Everything about a credit card is tied to you by their very nature. So it depends on what or who you want privacy from.
Someone else mentioned privacy.com which I also use - it’s good if you want to hide your transaction from the credit card company, or if you want to hide your identity from the merchant. But Privacy.com is more like a virtual debit card that connects to your bank account. Privacy.com still knows who you are.
I mean… It’s Las Vegas. You don’t go to Vegas expecting a vacation experience free from the perverse corruption of money.
The only difference is who pays you to do it 😁

You know what? Okay! I’m in.
“Students who have completed Archery, Fencing, Pistol (Air Pistol or Rifle) and Sailing should send an email to…”
When a university education becomes a fantasy story meme. At least if you’re attending MIT, you’re probably multiclassed into some kind of technomancer.
You mean the always-on GPS-enabled internet-connected microphone and camera which is also likely Bluetooth and NFC beaconing and contains all of my most personal data including my name, contacts, unencrypted chats facilitated by major cell phone carriers, photos, emails, and other personal files which are also likely synced with a cloud service operated by major multi-national corporations, and also stores biometric data such as facial recognition, fingerprints, time spent sleeping, and even heart rate and number of steps taken assuming you have “fitness” features enabled?
With those last couple items, these massive companies that regularly share data with law enforcement are literally tracking your every step and nearly every beat of your heart.
Well don’t worry about that, I’ve got Express VPN.
Curious about something, maybe you know since you work at a theater. I seem to remember hearing that a theater has to pay royalties each time they show a movie and that newer technology can track and report this automatically. Does the latest technology automatically track this as I recall? And if so, would playing a movie as a test count as a showing?
While you make a valid point here, mine was simply that once something is out there, it’s nearly impossible to remove. At a certain point, the nature of the internet is that you no longer control the data that you put out there. Not that you no longer own it and not that you shouldn’t have a say. Even though you initially consented, you can’t guarantee that any site will fulfill a request to delete.
Should authors and artists be fairly compensated for their work? Yes, absolutely. And yes, these AI generators should be built upon properly licensed works. But there’s something really tricky about these AI systems. The training data isn’t discrete once the model is built. You can’t just remove bits and pieces. The data is abstracted. The company would have to (and probably should have to) build a whole new model with only propeely licensed works. And they’d have to rebuild it every time a license agreement changed.
That technological design makes it all the more difficult both in terms of proving that unlicensed data was used and in terms of responding to requests to remove said data. You might be able to get a language model to reveal something solid that indicates where it got it’s information, but it isn’t simple or easy. And it’s even more difficult with visual works.
There’s an opportunity for the industry to legitimize here by creating a method to manage data within a model but they won’t do it without incentive like millions of dollars in copyright lawsuits.
Delete that comment you just posted from every Lemmy instance it was federated to.
Here’s my take: Like google, stackoverflow, and so on, AI is yet another tool in your toolbox. It can’t replace humans yet, and in fact it’s a ways off from that if you ask me. Not that it won’t eventually be able to do it, but it can’t yet. You said yourself, there are still elements that the AI just can’t do yet.
I like that I can say “hey AI, here’s what I need” and have it generate what I would consider a good framework to start from. It helps me eliminate the boring, time consuming stuff that I could easily do on my own. Your value comes in that other 20% now. The stuff that requires higher level understanding.
A big problem is that AI is creating technical debt in the form of deep understanding and expertise. You have the benefit of years of experience. You are the guru now.
