Companies need to be slapped with a non-negligible percentage fine of revenue. They will learn fast to respect the law, and by extension, people's privacy.

I urge everyone to permanently boycott HP. In the past, I would only buy their products, from laptops to printers; everything develops a critical problem that cannot be fixed. They look to milk the customer. HP are a terrible company and their products are of poor quality.

They don't say on what order it is biodegradable. Is it a week? That would be useless for its use as a disposable carrier for food, beverages, etc; these are the things that are polluting our world on a large scale. Or is it a decade?

I'm fine with local "AI". I use the built-in translate feature quite extensively. I don't want it connecting to these outside services that prey on user-data and take advantage of user privacy; especially the likes of Google that is providing its AI services to Apartheid Israel's army.

Sounds like Russia (and Apartheid South Africa before this, where I'm from) forcing their citizens to fight this genocide. What kind of a democracy is Apartheid Israel, where you can't remove yourself from doing something you feel unjust?

EDIT. Wow, seconds later and I'm downvoted. Sounds like the Hasbara bots are here too.

The consequences of actual AI is far reaching compared to a plane crash.

HP is a terrible company and should be boycotted. I've had problems with their whole range from printers to laptops. Lenovo is a superior alternative.

Samsung official repairs are a major ripoff. They offered to repair my tablet for 3/4 the price of a new one. I said no, paid the non-refundable deposit, bought an entire logic board and did it myself. It worked out very cheap.

This is the funny side when a corporation's AI system gets things wrong, but these offered AI "helpers" are detrimental to society. Token generators like LLMs that have been "humanised" need to be heavily regulated before we see loss of human life due to following a friendly "human-AI" advice. Also, same Google that's offering its AI services to weapons systems in Israel that's already killed innocent civilians. We need regulation of corporations.

Sorry I can't help you there as I use an OLED screen on android to read in the dark. Can't you jailbreak it and install Koreader?

Development of features are a bit hindered in Alacritty; kitty and wezterm on the other hand, have useful features and have been really good. Personally, I'm using kitty for the past month.

There's tonnes of video evidence that Apartheid Israel is carrying out war crimes and genocide. Intentionally targeting and killing civilian groups and infrastructure, starving the population; the IDF hasn't allowed the aid trucks through and soldiers stand by as Israelis destroy the truck contents, doctors having to do amputations of multiple limbs without anaesthesia, 25 000 women and children killed; 10 000 unaccounted for. They targeted all infrastructure needed to live, be it hospitals, universities. Apartheid Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza and the West Bank through terror.

Hamas would exist if not for the occupation. Or else there will inevitably be a Hamas 2.0

This is exactly like uMkhonto we Sizwe in Apartheid in South Africa, it doesn't exist without Apartheid. Or like Hamas isn't the West Bank.

Treat people like human animals, imprison them, occupy them and expect any other outcome is foolish. Apartheid Israel needs to make the first move that doesn't include killing civilians and stealing land.

Personally, I read digital copies now so that I don't have to stop to find the definition. On the Koreader application, it has a dictionary function which makes it really nice to read with.

The whole thing is mad, students protested segregation and Apartheid, but these days, even they would be shunned it seems. Their university fees are being invested in arms companies in Israel that's perpetrated an apartheid policy before its current genocide. Why are politicians and people in power degrading democratic rights for a fascist government?

Also, it's not anti-Israel; it's anti-genocide and anti-Apartheid.

I'm using yadm for some years now, which works really well:

The best trillion dollar companies can do is a token generator that defies logic. And they have personified these generators to make them seem intelligent. For AGI to exist, I doubt it will have anything to do with LLMs.

Temu sells absolute junk, with fake reviews (almost everything you browse is 5-stars)

So they put the people in the forefront of creating AI to steer AI Policy when it comes to safety? There are 4 Civil Rights people on the board. The rest are autocrats of the software industry.

It means suicide to some miscreants from 2006; the phrase is also grammatically incorrect. It certainly does not mean something unexpected.

Google's AI is just as bad as the rest. I remember when it couldn't get past a traffic cone after not being in an accident for "countless hours":

These companies should be fined hefty amounts and barred from beta testing out in public and putting people in danger. Governments should carry out comprehensive tests on a self-driving car's capabilities, same as cars without proven passenger safety (Euro NCAP) aren't allowed to be on roads carrying passengers.

And now this great AI company is also providing AI services to pariah states like Apartheid Israel to be used on people. That's scary.

The Voyager project is an amazing feat for humanity. But I wonder, does NASA take into account the repercussions of sending a probe deep into space? I know space is big but I can only think of the dark forest hypothesis. What's the plan for further space exploration?

It would change things. These few megacorps are super-powerful and have the ability not only to successfully change the law through lobbying, but are the reason the world is outputting so much greenhouse gases. Companies like Shell are calling oil "deep water energy" to make it more palatable while still extracting oil as cost-efficiently as possible.

How do people that work on AI reconcile the fact that the product they're working on is going to be used to kill thousands of people with no recourse?

It seems like Israel is already bombing indiscriminately, with 35 000 killed (the majority of whom are women and children). Was AI used for these targets?

History is going show a similar story to when IBM helped facilitate the Holocaust, this genocide also has people working on tools that enable it; people "just doing their job."

Did AI target World Central Kitchen or the 200+ humanitarians, journalists, hostages and medics? This is just one aspect of Apartheid Israel's war crimes.

Apartheid Israel seems to be a pariah state, if it's not with their hacking or bombing consulates, it's with the military industrial complex relationship with the US. Do they think their actions are conducive to their well-being?

The attacker had 750 previous commits; maybe it was all for this or maybe there are more vulnerabilities.

This is a great initiative. Still too much of modern media content is locked behind an All Rights Reserved gate, or old photos owned by media houses like Getty et al.

Hallucinations as a term for incorrect answers made by token generators is a genius marketing term. In fact, labelling LLMs as AI is what propelled high valuations of these companies.

This is what leads to people even in the industry to take at face value a human-like response in helping answer a query; and in this case, willingly downloading malware.

We also have a lot of them in Gauteng, South Africa; even though they're classified as an invader species. They can only be in urban areas and aren't allowed to spread. They look really nice but smell like pee.

DMCA seems more like a weapon abused by corporations. These laws are written solely for corporations. An emulator is not the thing.

It's an American law but a European company abides by it with no leeway given. Shameful.

Everything on the web needs decentralisation as we nearing some sort of dystopia where corporations dictate how we live.

Is there no Linux support for the editor? I only see libraries for various platforms.

It had 2.4 billion unique WiFi networks, and 64 million unique cell networks:
