There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.
But that costs $ and Microsoft doesn’t make money by spending it when they absolutely don’t have to.
Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:
That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing)
And…
but I am firmly against any form of censorship.
Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.
Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.
Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.
Good luck not buying soap, toothpaste, or shampoo. Palm oil is used in damn near everything today since it’s the most oil/acre around today.
Hah. As somebody that had to be driven to the bus stop because it was over a mile away, I call BS.
People go to casinos and play slots for a hit of brain chemicals. They’re not there for art. Nor are whales in most mobile games.
I’ll bet some exec thinks an AI-enhanced Skinner box would interesting to see.
Non-existent in the US thanks to whack-ass tariffs unfortunately. We love hindering our adoption of climate change reducing technology for political points.
MD PhD who gets paid $15/hr to work 70 hour weeks at Duke. Her CV is a mile long
She should quit. Industry pays an actual livable salary compared to that. She could work as a shipping clerk and make more money and have a higher standard of living.
They abuse people endlessly because smart and talented people like your friend volunteer to get abused. It’s tragic, but their own choice.
If an AI can outperform a human doctor, isn’t that a good thing? We should always strive to improve survival for patients - it’s not about doctors jobs but patient survival and long term health outcomes.
I would love for doctors to become AI if the AI improves our growing health inequities and inequalities.
But some smaller, more integrous and creative influencers might.
Good, maybe they’ll get a productive job then and stop forcing their attempts at being influencers. You either are or aren’t one; they clearly don’t have what it takes to influence their viewers to buy sponsor products as efficiently.
Advertising isn’t a noble business and influencers are just advertisers. There is no noble human spirit in advertising, it is (and always has been) an exploitative and ignoble career.
Purely as an investor: if they can sustain that revenue growth the IPO will be a smash.
Never invest in companies you love or you won’t exit when you should.
The site that launches after updates is for telemetry - the request gives them information on the updater (IP, geo location, OS, localization, fonts, fingerprinting, etc).
…but where will BP or Shell make their billions then?
Also: things like blue ammonia and blue hydrogen are far more polluting than oil even diesel fuel, yet those ghouls managed to greenwash it into appearing better.
Nice attempt at distracting from the issue - the tail effects from the GHGs already emitted is enough to change life as we know it.
CO2 is also not the end-all-be-all of climate change - we have huge methane emissions coming from melting permafrost, oceans, and icebergs that are 80-87x as damaging (ton-for-ton) than CO2.
Agreed. Streaming services always seemed like gilded cages to me. You can only see what they allow you to see - piracy or old-school Netflix DVD delivery gives you all the options. The promise of being able to stream any content at any time, with the producers and people involved being able to get compensated fairly and justly, just isn’t reality with these ghouls running the show.
The model (in the current form, of artificially restricted licensing) seems like less a way to curate a media catalog, but more like a way to curate the subscribers and culture.
“I reject your reality and substitute my own!”
If you play by felony murder rules, they’re just as guilty since they participated in the planning and actively participated (by waiting for / stalking the victim and pointing him out to their co-conspirator).
In some places if you help plan and participate in a crime that results in a death you’re equally culpable of the murder - even if you weren’t in the same room as the killing. Escape car drivers frequently get death row for a murder that happened in the course of the crime.
Based on the information the ad services know about individual viewers, they could customize the ads using invented models that perfectly match the viewers’ ethnicity/demographics.
IMO hyper-individualized ads that are personalized would increase diversity. It’d also be a new frontier in advertising manipulation.
Companies have up to a 1000-1 ROI on lobbying.
