That’s less storage than my Plex storage. PBS could and should definitely do better.

It’s not a Meta only thing, but they are certainly one of the worst companies to have that data. No company should be able to collect data without express permission from anyone in that data. I don’t want literally any 3rd party storing video of me that I didn’t give them approval. An example would be if there were a medical procedure that were recorded on a private local server for reference or archive purposes, similar to any other medical records. Those records are protected by privacy laws like HIPPA where Meta glasses don’t have that.

The recording technology isn’t the problem, it’s consent and how that data is stored and handled after taken.

So if Sony did have their own glasses like Meta, I would 100% expect the backlash to be almost just as bad as it is for Meta. Again, Meta is worse, but bad and really bad are both degrees of bad that deserve criticism and pushback.

Because hidden cameras aren’t common and given the legality of the situation, the risk to any medical professional to try and sneak in and use a hidden camera is extremely high. It’s not impossible, it’s just extremely unlikely. There are many many things in life that can be trusted because the odds are extremely favorable, and trusting that there aren’t hidden cameras in a doctor’s office is one of them.

Again, to not trust this reality is conspiracy level insanity. If you wanted, you can go in and sweep a medical room for hidden cameras if you’re so insecure that that’s what’s needed for piece of mind, but everyone will think you’re loony tunes.

We’re not anti technology, were vocally anti destructive and anti privacy technology. AI is terrible in almost every facet. It’s a neat technology on paper, but the environmental and societal impact far outweighs any positives from it. Camera glasses that record people that don’t want to be recorded and saved to a cloud where that information is trained on and out of the control of anyone that’s been recorded is a major privacy violation. Again, the technology of having smart glasses is neat on paper, but it reality is awful and prime for abuse.

So we don’t hate all technology, just the shit technologies, like those mentioned plus flock and Microsoft products to add to the pile. Not being critical of these technologies is insane to me, because it lets these companies push the limit of what’s acceptable without reprecussions.

Having a hidden camera in a room would be illegal. The chance of a hidden camera existing is near 0%. Just to survive, people have to be able to trust in something rather than question every single aspect, and trusting that your medical office isn’t illegally wired to record you secretly is a safe bet. However, when a dumbass walks in with their personal gear that is designed to record and save that recording into a cloud is not even remotely acceptable, especially when that cloud is Meta.

Comparing the two like the hidden camera is a common thing is some major tinfoil hat shit.

I haven’t taken any group or family photos for a good 10 years because first, I hate having my picture taken, but second, that shit will for sure end up online, and I’m not doing that as much as possible. Can’t dodge all of the bullets, but I can control what I can control. This is by far my largest online presence, and is decently anonymous. Anyone that’s posting their children online is a PoS if they’re aware, or at best ignorant shits fucking with the futures of their children.

Unfortunately, I had these conversations with many non technical people around me, and those concerns don’t exist amongst the technologically illiterate. There needs to be laws and guardrails in place to prevent this shit.

I was debating someone about this. I said we need for of the pole cutting and destruction while the other person said that’s not okay and we need to go through proper channels. I said we tried and were shut down. Glad to see I was right.

Some people deserve a couple whacks.

I spent enough time learning vim that I can do basic navigation and text editing. I’d like to be able to navigate efficiently like some of the savants out there, but the effort to get to that point is more than I’m willing to put into in.

That’s just like Zuck to copy yet another idea.

Plus they have a built in functionality to detect and skip creator ads. Not that if they were actually legally responsible for blocking those that this would be an acceptable solution, but they aren’t, so this is a consumer bonus.

I hate that I’m defending Google here, but I agree the lawsuit is frivolous.

Ianal, but I believe laws like this usually have a “reasonable expectation” component to them. Imo, ad free means Google isn’t injecting their own ads before or during videos, with the exception of ads during live events. I believe they have lived up to that and more with the built in functionality to detect and skip creator ads. I think the explicit writing in the ToS further defends their position, but by itself isn’t a definitive defense. So I think the prosecution has to somehow convince a judge that they were actually deceived by the whole package, the marketing and defend against the very clearly stated section in the ToS. That to me is a tall order and I think Google wins.

I put thinly sliced purple onion on my burgers. It adds a mild onion flavor I like and extra crunch. Pretty much the opposite of your opinion.

He would be in charge for as long as it takes for the first person to get in arms or bullet length of him. A light punishment with huge upside for both parties.

They say that a good compromise is when both parties are dissatisfied. I feel like this is one of those “exception to the rule” situations.

What about a caramel sauce, like on Ice cream? It’s sticky like any other syrup, but not in the way that gets stuck in teeth. Curious if it’s also the flavour or mostly the texture.

Just the AI part is enough to be inferior. Can’t come up with your own thoughts to defend a point you’re making? Yes, you’re on a lower rung of the ladder.

Yes.

Explain how it’s a stupid take? This comic is exactly what AI does. You tell it to do something, it sometimes kinda does. You didn’t create anything.

Business data doesn’t require the mega datacenters that are all compute for AI. Those types of datacenters won’t have the same issues with infrastructure for power and closed loop systems. If they do, they’ll figure it out because they have the money to do so. Someone will build them. DCs that have storage and racks for cloud compute are in a different category.

I agree and mentioned that talking heads will spin regulations in a way that convinces their idiotic base that there’s an issue. It’s not the regulations that are the problem, it’s the media. But the thing is, If it’s not regulations, it will be something else. It will be just as nonsensical, but something will fill that gap. Might as well do something good if the propaganda is gonna flow anyway.

Per itar regulations, government data already has to live in the US. They will never change that law in order to store it in another country’s DC.

And putting barriers on multi bullion dollar businesses is not the same as putting it on citizens. People aren’t going to vote a Republican because of regulations on a DC that makes the neighborhood quieter and cleaner, stops excessive water consumption for cooling, and forces them to build their own power infrastructure. They will vote Republican for a million other dumb AF reasons, including a conservative taking head telling them regulations are bad for DCs, but they won’t do it because of those reasons. They won’t even know what those reasons are
