The fact that apple don’t feel they can do this or a good thing. We don’t want companies who think they are more powerful than governments. It would be preferential if governments were doing things in our interest all the time, but it’s a start.

Is there only one person per apartment?

I dont know. I watch less ads now woth the aid of tech. Lemmy, jellyfin etc

I didnt know emule still exists. If i recall its distrubuted file sharing, where you search the network knstead of searching for torrent files on yhe web, right?

Is it any good? Does it link with the arrs? Any concern with security?

Not just the cost. The corruption carries a stink. People dont want to travel to america as they worry they wont be welcome by the border control. Nobody wants to spend thousands to end up in detention.

What did they do this time?

Most of western europe is euivalent to the uk. Proces still hurt but the social safety net is better and the onky prices ge erally affected sre groceries and rent. America, a largr expense increase is insirance and health costs, too.

Im happy not to steal. But if it scans cheaper wrong, or it wont scan, it goes in my bag.

Of coirse if you see soneone else steal food. You didnt.

Im finding the constant monitoring quite creepy and the cashier is now a shorter queue. So the convenience is gone. However, the ability to identify the vegetable by picture as i weigh it os good.

Im in australia. Coming from europe, i find it really creepy thatnits nornal here to check your personal bag for theft on the way out of some shops. Id prefer digital surveillance than the same surveillance by a person. Obviously, od much prefer both.

Ah, ok. The problem I’m referring to is that if one file gets corrupted, syncthing will interpret that as a change and then duplicate the corruption across all devices. A good backup service will also interpret it as a change and keep both to allow rollbacks.

Does trash help with file corruption?

Be aware that syncthing is not designed for back up. If something happened to delete ir corrupt your data on ine device, that would also duplicate. (There are settings per folder to change sone of this behaviour)

Only if the fascists are taken down.

Khan academy

Just like it doesnt make sense to divide people on demographics, we shouldnt villainise busoness owners as a monolith based on voting stats. Thats still millions who voted for harris or others. Instead we should yake yhe data and learn from ot and look at policies that might appeal to business owners that could be absent and a reason they voted for trump en masse.

Which is anothwr way of sayong structural change is needed. South Korea floated the idea of a tax on ai companies. They walked it back after the stock market dipped. The economist, a (economically) liberal paper, is even suggesting higher tax for profits above a certain threshold, and also taxing labour less and capital more. The opposite of their thinking in general.

Yes, the concept of AI changes things and changes the value or work and prosuctivity. Digital technogyndid this already. Digital business can scale in ways traditional ones cant.

Ai has the capacity to upend how the world operates. The question is how we allow the spoils to go. AI companies are hoping they get the lions share. Open models and structural changws tontaxarion and trade and employment law can ensure the apoils dont go that way.

I also see an ai future where the consuner can no longer be ripped off, as consumers dont need to be stuck on amazon or google. Where if they want to buy a gidger, that the ai will search and find the best deals for them, including postage taxes etc. Similar for more conokex purchases, like power, mobile phones, insurance etc.

Businesses hooe that ai can recommend products for advertising dollars. They forget that people are susceptible to advertising and habit in a way that a predection model is not.

My feeling is thatbit either gets managed well and we all benefit, or it doesnt and things go to shit, which leads to revolution in some way, viokent or otherwise. Which means we win. So we win either way.

I dont disagree, but youre missing the point. There arent much carriage driver jobs since the arrival of the automobile. There are a lot more jobs related to driving, though. Thats the point. Technology always makes jobs obsolete but creates more to replace.

What is the problem with ai is multiple. Environmental is a huge concern. The poor perfirmance in many areas is another. The job loses are awful fornthose that lose their jobs and short term are bad for society. Long term, society SHOULD benefit from AI. However, the tech workd is doing everything they can to make sure the spoils dont go to society, but directly to them. Ita why they are investing so much. They want to be first, directing the direction and process and monetisation.

What we need to do as society, is ensire that the spoils go society. That the producrivity imorovemebts lead to better lives, not just bigger profits for the few. Thats wjy chinese open models are so interesting. Its also why im concerned about ram and video cards. If the means of computing are removed from us, ot will be hard to ger back. Already for many people, facebook and google is the internet. Many peoplw on here degoogle. Its really hard. And about to get harder.

Jobs will absolutely be lost to ai, but my point is more jobs shoukd be created given the experience of every adcancenent in history. The wuestiin is did we need mire jobs when before ai layoffs and trumps poor policies, much of the world was approaching full employment.

Stop humanising him.

That’s been true of every other productivity improvement, so it should hold true. However, the jobs created don’t necessarily go to those that lost them. And, why are we looking to use productivity gains to increase jobs instead of reducing hours?

They slopped it, so I dropped it.

lol, what part of saying it’s a spectrum makes you think it’s black and white. We all make decisions based on our interest, and we all have a line. You seem to have gotten closer to yours.
