GPS, telematics(the driving data your car collects and sends back to the automotive company who built it), over the air updates, some SOS style features like OnStar, maybe satellite radio.

Edit: Maybe apps, and stuff like updates to the onboard owners manual (because some cars don’t come with a paper one anymore). Oh. And using your phone as a key.

Here’s hoping someone destroyed his portrait and the aging speeds up.

Added benefit that it’s not a school, hospital, or place of religious worship.

I do find it crazy that school districts will spend all this money on iPads, but not pencils and stuff kids actually need that teachers end up paying for.

I wasn’t going to buy PS4 but I got it as a Christmas gift from family. Same with my Switch. I don’t use either one. Haven’t used the PS4 in at least 2 years.

I never had Xbox but I do use Steam. At this point I’m not even buying AAA games because of so many studios and platforms being terrible to consumers.

Yeah. My kid doesn’t go to a school where they use computers or iPads this way, but I have to assume that lessons are done on device and therein lies the problem. Can’t confiscate the device because then the kid can’t do the lessons. So now teachers have to fund classrooms partially out of their own pocket, spend unpaid time outside school hours to do marking and lesson planning, and play IT. Teachers already have a lot on their plates without adding an extra burden that the administration should be addressing properly.

Probably not down to the teachers but to administration. When I was a kid we had computers (PC’s or Macs) in some classrooms, but the caveat is that they specifically blocked most websites so if it wasn’t on an approved list you couldn’t use it. At some point it seems like they gave up trying to stay ahead of kids circumventing the blocks and teachers aren’t spending time outside of class playing IT. They already dedicate a lot of unpaid time to grading papers and other extracurricular activities.

I can at least agree that teachers should confiscate or prevent students from using them if they provide more of a distraction than a help.

I have a question about the whole port thing. Apparently (according to another case where a guy wiped his phone), international airports count as a port of entry where the authorities can search your phone without a warrant. But at the same time, shouldn’t that only count in the event that you’re using it as a port of exit or entry into the country? You mean to tell me I can take a flight to NY from Missouri and have my phone subjected to a search just because JFK is an international airport?

Can I drive by a border crossing and be subject to search?

According to the information found at this link the answer is yes.

So if I happen to live without a 100 mile radius of a border crossing I’m screwed? It seems like this decision further exacerbates an injustice inherent in the how much power ICE has, and it’s bullshit. You should need probable cause to search someone.

It’s not about the AI. It’s about the idea that this author might have been hired with the intention that he do exactly what he did as a way for the people in charge to vet the true feelings/misgivings that the people in the room might have about their brand and their use of AI.

I don’t think the OC meant to defend or even insult AI.

So. The company could have just turned over the proof to the police and let them prosecute him for CP/CSAM. Instead they decided to do this? Why? I doubt he’s got money they can take. It’s certainly not to protect the “good name”. This seems like they just want to be seen doing something and they picked the worst thing to be seen doing.

“He used our LLM for CSAM!”

“Why does your LLM generate CSAM?”

Settlement so they don’t have to reveal anything in 3. 2. 1.

You never get the smell of burning flesh out of your nose.

I believe they can sue though. Might depend on the law there but I was literally just watching a video of a lawyer going over what to do if your property is seized and or used in violation of your right to enjoy your property and there’s an avenue for land owners to sue.

They’re already trying to track everything I do. Why would I help them?

This is the thing. I’m not against using tech to decide if someone is too drunk to drive. But I am against overreliance on tech to infringe the rights of others and possibly put them in danger in order to protect the public. Especially when it comes from people who don’t know how the tech works and have never used it.

If you can’t think critically about how the tech works and what the pros/cons of the tech are, then you don’t necessarily deserve to be able to make decisions like this for the masses.

You don’t have to drink to have used one. I don’t drink. I have had to use one. This comment reads like “fuck any service worker who might have to drive your car.” Fuck mechanics. Fuck tow truck drivers. Fuck EMS.

Fuck people who have health problems and can’t actually use their lung capacity to blow into the breathalyzer to release the interlock. They’ll never have an emergency and maybe have to drive anywhere.

That’s why it’s a dumb take. This isn’t about drunk driving deaths. Your “assume guilt and fuck everyone else who’s not guilty but will be put in danger over it” take is exactly what I said it was.

Have you ever had to use one? I’ve had to do it (lot attendant) and not only is it unsanitary if someone else has to drive your car, but it’s fucking hard to get the breathalyzer to actually work properly to allow you to start the car and it will go off again while you’re driving requiring you to actually breath into it again. It’s not a passive thing, you have to have the lung capacity to do it. It can be set off by false positives too. This is the dumbest take.

If (and that if is doing so much heavy lifting) they actually were probing their own AI this way, your point might be valid. But doing it secretly while still saying that AI is safe to use (like so many AI companies have done) is disingenuous.

What the article says is that Meta was directing contractors to do this to their competitors AI.

AI copied everyone else’s work and now it wants to cry about copying. Sucks to suck.

There is more than one benefit to ending physical media.

1. The end of the resale market
2. The end of paying for physical distribution.
3. Pushing users toward online gaming so that they can pay for microtransactions.
4. Live service games and seasons that require subscriptions.
5. The sale of hardware that will allow them to charge more for consoles/Harddrives.
6. Game streaming (which requires an internet connection, and allows them to gather information about users).
7. Game streaming that requires a whole separate online subscription.

If you thought it was just about the resale market I have some public landmarks for sale.
