But they literally can’t ask you for it if it is about high volumes of data that only become useful if you have all or close to all of it like statistical analysis of rare events. It would be prohibitively expensive if you had to ask hundreds of thousands of people just to figure out that there is an increase in e.g. cancer or some lung disease near coal power plants.

Honestly, I don’t need innovation in every area, I would settle for existing systems getting more robust and streamlined and better standardized and compatible to each other (e.g. in the space where IoT devices all have their own app make some standard to get rid of that).

This apparent tension between AI’s documented benefits

That is one hell of an assumption to make, that AI is actually a benefit at work, or even a documented one, especially compared to a professional in the same job doing the work themselves.

To be fair, most of the data they are based on are completely public too, like church or government records of births and deaths and similar events.

We should have the right to not have our data harvested by default.

I would maybe not go quite that far but at the very least this should apply to commercial interests and living people.

I think there are some causes where it should be acceptable to have your data usable by default, e.g. statistical analysis of health threats (think those studies about the danger of living near a coal power plant or similar things).

You are probably incredibly young but Israel has had a firm control of American politics for literally its entire existence. Both parties, all presidents, pretty much all senators and members of congress on every level of your government. Lying to your faces that they could change that at a whim because Israel is committing another atrocity this decade on top of the ones they did in the decades before would have been a reason not to vote for them because that would have clearly made them untrustworthy.

Not to mention that every single dictator the US installed in the last century or so was pro genocide too.

Doesn’t matter for the “problem” they are trying to solve. Nobody interested in the “sensitive” information of another company will complain about picture quality if the information is readable enough.

Banning stuff people actually want to do (or even better, have a deep instinctual desire to do like physical intimacy or sex) is what makes the whole “you are all sinners and we have the solution to sell to you” (or alternatively “you are all sinners and you have to do what we say to solve that”) part of the religion scam work.

Considering most of the organizations using Teams bear the “enterprise” warning label I wouldn’t count on whoever you are talking to having the ability (as in permissions, not stupidity) to turn it off.

I have looked but I just couldn’t find an open source alternative that supported Teams core features like showing an error every time I login.

But you (the people who pointed at the Gaza genocide as an important issue in the US election) didn’t ask that before the election, you strongly suggested that it only had an influence on one party despite all evidence pointing towards either both parties being influenced equally or the party who won (among other reasons) because of you being worse.

The ChatGPT part makes perfect sense, there is probably very little discussion in its training data of events like this so why would a statistical language generator make a statement like “content has been scrubbed from nasa.gov”?

He was also a major opponent of the efforts during Covid to waive medical patents for producers in the global south to allow faster distribution of those vaccines.

Actually the whole point of birds not having their eyes on the body is that they can essentially stabilize their head with their neck so it is not affected by the flapping motion so much.

If anything current could be called a prelude to a world war it would be America’s trade war against the rest of the world because virtually nothing else going on involves enough nations to qualify.

Presumably not gone, just from food quality to dirty.

In the US it is almost like a double taboo too, they are rich and they are also the saints of the national religion of capitalism.

In fact when you think about the way organizations like RIAA and MPAA like to calculate damages based on lost potential sales they pull out of thin air training an AI that might make up entire songs that compete with their existing set of songs should be even worse. (not that I want to encourage more of that kind of bullshit potential sales argument)

Naive of you to assume that rehabilitation is the goal in the countries with the highest prison population per capita like the US.

Negotiation is essentially an exercise in empathy, trying to put yourself in the other side’s shoes, moderating a negotiation is essentially the same thing twice. Is it any wonder that an egocentric person who only cares about himself is not good at it?
