The comment I replied to said it was different from recording audio because when recording, they can tell it when to record instead of listening all the time, so that’s the only part I’m arguing with.

In this regard nothing changed:

• You can still tell it when to record, because you can turn the feature off
• If you didn’t turn off other Siri features before, it was already listening all the time

I feel like half this thread doesn’t understand what their devices are doing. Latching on to a new way in which it can record all the time, while dismissing all the existing ways it can already record all the time. How are you going to protect yourself from anything if you can only recognize this when there’s something like a transcript that you can see that makes it super obvious? Most people here are probably already carrying two or three devices around that can record them but just don’t produce a transcript.

That’s not new though, it also listens for Hey Siri all the time like all modern Apple devices have been doing for years. You can also still turn it off if it’s your own watch.

It’s a matter of framing. If you compare them to older datacenters they are atrocious because they’re bigger and consume more energy. But in the grand scheme of things all things IT pale in comparison to e.g. producing beef. Now with that framing you can’t sell AI hate though because people like beef, so it’s always just comparing large datacenters to smaller datacenters with the obvious results.

People don’t really understand this yet. There are LLMs that can do useful work running locally on 5 year old laptops (ok, only if it’s a Macbook Pro, but still). Qwen on consumer hardware isn’t close to Claude Code using cloud models, but it can do real work and this is the floor, the absolute minimum of AI we will have going forward. No matter what happens to the industry and the bubble, it will not go away. With any other outcome other than a total collapse of the bubble, AI will be more powerful than that.

For some reason he likes replacing these Native American based names with one of Italian origin.

It says the x-rays that were taken because of the pneumonia were important documentation for the toe count. Maybe not everything is easily externally visible so they wouldn’t have known without the pneumonia?

I thought the (former) VP in charge of it left for OpenAI not long ago.

There are some unanswered legal questions around this. In the US there is fair use, so US companies argue that training falls under that. If they’re right it’s difficult to prohibit because fair use literally means they don’t need a license in the first place. If they’re wrong and they’re found to be making derivative works, then there is likely no need as the terms of the GPL would then apply to their models too and they would not survive that. Other countries have different situations.

Any license prohibiting use for AI training would not be an OSI approvable open source license as OSI prohibits discrimination by field of endeavor.

Prayer doesn’t do anything to solve the problem but it keeps them occupied and off the streets which might place it above the administration

There also were more than two PC platforms (and we barely have two now; Apple was pretty close to going away too). I miss being the Atari ST guy in a circle of people who all had different types of computers. It didn’t last very long but it was way more fun.

Yeah on mobile I think it’s okay. Still a bit overloaded but a far cry from what Japanese web pages can be like on desktop browsers. Sometimes they’re like web design stopped in 1999 and since then all they did was add more blinky banners around the actual content.

That’s fine. All I’m saying is that the article claims that their stance is an eight year old can waive rights, while also claiming indirectly that the mother waived the rights too. Because it says that she placed parental controls on the account, which in the case of Roblox means she made an account for herself and agreed to the same terms.

I have no idea whether the terms are enforceable or not. I’m only commenting on the article sensationalizing by making it look like the company says the 8 year old agreeing to their terms is enough.

Although maybe one thing to add could be that the child could not have gotten access to chat either without the mother enabling it for her. The article makes it sound like children are immediately exposed to all sorts of things on Roblox but the reality is unverified accounts are heavily restricted, and for a child, the restrictions have to be disabled by a parent.

Is it their stance? The article says the mother “placed parental controls” on the child’s account. This means the mother had an account too and agreed to the terms as well.

Do you know if the microphone can be disabled? Or the features that use it? Basically I’d want glasses like these that primarily react to inputs I make on my phone or show things the phone can figure out based on my location etc. I’d want to be 100% certain no audio is being recorded or even uploaded to a translation service.

The bot argument is valid but the OS X thing could just be because most browsers on macOS report “Mac OS X” in the User-Agent string for compatibility (and 10.15 as the version regardless of the actual OS version, for privacy reasons).

There are smart glasses without camera that can do translation. So there are some options.

I think not understanding what they’re committing is more dangerous than before

This kind of reasoning applies to every new tool. 20 years ago I was saying the same thing about work from co-workers who started programming on Java and didn’t understand what their beloved HashMap actually does under the hood.

Eventually we adapt to either the new tools or to the new dangers, the ones who don’t just become fossils.

I always thought security questions were dangerous, but I did in fact not know that quizzes that exploit them exist in the wild.

We can all click on your name and see your other comments, I suspect that’s what they’re referring to. There is a really strong correlation between the number of downvotes you received for past comments and whether or not they contain language like “fuck off retard” or similar.

I think they hit the nail on the head, and there is no point in botting downvotes on this platform in the first place, since there is no karma.

My client tells me I’ve downvoted you before as well, though I don’t remember where.

The Apple office apps are still free, but they do have an add-on subscription too now.
