I’m completely happy with Boost

They’re still operating an ad based business model.
Not really all the interested.

I have no problem with it.
People need to be aware, nothing on social media is private.

By the cops or FBI maybe. The NSA is absolutely recording any and all phone calls that touch five eyes phone networks. That’s what Snowdon warned us all about.

I’m sensitive to heat. Hot drinks, food, showers.
Everyone around me seems to like things much hotter than I do.

It’s kind of a given that people are going to try to get patents for stupid things they obviously shouldn’t. It’s the whole job of the patent office to decline such requests. If people only ever applied for good and reasonable patents, then approval could be automatic. It’s not, only because they need to filter out the bad ones.

The real problem here is that the patent was granted. It seems dumb to apply for it. But how dumb is it, if applications like this actually get approved?

I hear that. I finally gave in and bought an electric spy-mobile.

Screw that!
Get a Fairphone with /e/OS before you switch to the rotten apple.

I stick to my idea.
Each community should be able to decide for themselves.

Maybe if mods from both communities agree to share comments. Some communities want to remain separate.

It does need one to sign up and make your account.
It no longer needs one to contact somebody. You can share a username instead of your phone number. That may be what you’re thinking of.

Maybe I don’t actually know what crawlers means in this context. I always thought crawlers were bots. Are there bots that aren’t crawlers? If so what are they?

So 20% of AI bot traffic are people?

After 4 years and 42k users, they have a total of just 32 apps?

Only Sith deal in absolutes

You create business accounts.
Use them exclusively for business.
Use a separate browser to access those accounts.
Create a firewall as much as you can between the personal and professional online.

Business is inherently ethically dirty. Doing work for money is already an ethical step down. But in the environment you live in, it’s necessary to survive. So you do it. For you and your kid.

They do text prediction based on the training data. If the training data is all encrypted gibberish, it’ll only output gibberish.

That’s not how LLMs work.

Having an AI isn’t problematic at all; Forcing it into places where people don’t want it is.

And the CEO being pro Rump is a stretch. He approved of one Rump policy. Hell I hate the man and believe him a cancer to the world, but even I can point to a couple things I like he did.
