I’m giving an example of a group of people that have determined people are responsible for themselves for the most part at age 13. Its meant to show what’s possible on what many would consider the more extreme end of things.

Timestamps on activities you take can be combined with other data points to figure out things like your location, what people are nearby you, and what you are doing at that moment. These data points are created frequently and can be reviewed actively or retroactively.

That data is collected and sold by data brokers, who then sell it to law enforcement and government, as well as advertisers and other companies.

AI is very good at finding patterns in data points, and is accelerating the usability of all this data thats been collected.

I simply don’t like the idea of being targeted or used, so ive tried to minimize data collection. I have a custom ROM on my phone and have linux on my computers. I dont have accounts with companies I dont trust. Sometimes if I have to make an account anyways, I’ll use fake information and a vpn.

True but thats a benefit to you, not to others. Its good at least the tool is allowing you to learn. I’m sure learning a language isn’t easy, especially the finer details.

I’d argue that with a little bit of practice its quicker to write a comment and then revise it yourself. Fix the punctuation, grammar, misspellings, and read it through once at least. Its a useful skill to learn as well.

They are right though, we came up with lol and stuff like that because texting on a keypad was tedious. Its not really useful in the way it was back then, its just stuck around from popular use.

They dont despise it, they only use it to inflate their ego. They see communication as a tool to build themselves up. They literally never consider others around them. I call it main character syndrome because they treat everyone like NPCs.

Yeah I haven’t come across a movie or show hes in that I thought was worth it despite thinking hes a shitty person, but it could happen. I almost watched I am legend a week ago but decided not to. I’ll probably still watch men in black from time to time though, mostly for nostalgia.

You can do a good thing now, and have done a shit thing in the past. I dont understand why thats so hard to grasp. We aren’t absolved of shitty behavior because we didnt know better. A person who murders someone before they knew it was wrong will still have murdered someone. You can’t absolve your own past by future actions, just try not to repeat it.

Yeah, we live and learn. We don’t expect perfection, we expect self improvement. Its important not to excuse bad decisions/behavior. Be more skeptical of new technology in the future and pay attention to who’s creating/selling it.

They never said they should be shunned, they didnt even list a social consequence. The fact remains that if you used OpenAI in the past you already contributed.

I thought Zeeland was part of Denmark.

Can’t watch him in anything since he hit Chris Rock. It ruined his characters in nearly every thing he was ever in.

No, it drives demand for used pixel phones. No one’s buying new pixels to supply the used market. They don’t interact in that way.

If you really want to make sure Google never benefits, buy one off Craigslist, put a case on it, and tell people its a Samsung galaxy with a custom home screen.

Buy used and unlocked. Just sold one at my work, was a pixel 8 pro for 300 USD.

I think the Amish finish school at 13 or so.

They don’t die in 5-6 years, they stop producing milk in high quantities and are slaughtered and used as low quality beef.

This isn’t logical, just popular.

Because its clever and has a fantastic cadence. Its funny to me that the start is always the same but the punchline varies wildly too.

Wy are we assuming the majority of non-voters were leftists? The most common thing I heard from non-voters was about apathy rather than strong leftist morals.

I have one, I bought it directly from them on their website. Its pretty decent for the price. It hasn’t failed in a few years so that’s good.
