there is nothing misleading about the headline. street navigation is quite primitive use case compared to what some others were suggesting (like firing stuff of suicide hotline and replacing them with chatbots).

while machine learning can no doubt be useful tool for many of narrowly specified specific tasks, where all you need to do is evaluate lot of data and find pattern in it, the business behind it acts as if it already had invented GAI and unfortunately will keep pretending that and probably cause lot of damage in hunt for money.

First lady is not going to be happy about it

i see an issue with technical manuals as well. i am not native english speaker and whenever some android app decides to machine translate itself to my native language, it is a fucking disaster. some words can be translated in multiple ways depending on context and guess what is missing when translating stuff like app menus? that’s right.

it is not “replace human professional” cool.

Hitting the record button is quite active though.

Unless the therapists start using actually private ways of communicating like Signal, then stuff like this will keep happening.

That makes it safe from third party middle man attack, not from the therapist.

Also I am reasonably sure you can hide a camera in the room in face to face session.

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with this, right?

Poor guy regretting he bowed to censorship…

https://www.reuters.com/technology/zuckerberg-says-biden-administration-pressured-meta-censor-covid-19-content-2024-08-27/

Aug 27 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (META.O) , opens new tab CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the Biden administration had pressured the company to “censor” COVID-19 content during the pandemic, apparently referring to White House requests to take down misinformation about the coronavirus and vaccines.

In a letter dated Aug. 26, Zuckerberg told the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee that he regretted not speaking up about this pressure earlier, as well as other decisions he had made as the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp around removing certain content.

In July 2021, President Joe Biden, a Democrat, said social media platforms like Facebook “are killing people” for allowing misinformation about coronavirus vaccines to be posted on its platform.

Others like former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy publicly said the company was not doing enough to take down misinformation, and was making it harder to fight the pandemic and save lives.

Why did that stupid girl lined up her cocaine on the carpet? :D

tor exit node is not a popular customer, it will be source of lot of illegal activity and complains and unless you have REALLY good relationship with your provider, he will sooner or later decide it is not worth the headache and show you the door.

and doesn’t mine bitcoin in background, or isn’t so terribly written it seems it does that even if it doesn’t.

that being said, is there anything that prevents michael to have his own washing machine in his own apartment? is there some strange american rule that forbids that?

Finally, Etherwind was right. Wraith’s 20th Anniversary Edition didn’t come out in 2016.

Etherwind returned precisely 100,018 hours after his probation began and swiftly resumed the argument

wtf was that person doing for 18 hours?

Ok listen to me closely

We are in the process of identifying and outting members of your group

Reputations and lives will be destroyed

Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are

You cannot hide

Your means are miniscule compared to mine. You now can either turn yourself in or you can cooperate

Oh I so hope that reputations will be destroyed…

Social media has a strict definition social media didn’t come about until after the advent of facebook so yes, by definition it excludes anything before then.

of course, sweetie. and just out of curiosity, what strict definition from some respectable authority other than you are you working with? 😂

social media, n. Websites and applications which enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

• https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=social+media

social media, noun : forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)

• https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/social media#dictionary-entry-1

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_services

long story short, social media is more than facebook.

social media didn’t come about until after the advent of facebook so yes, by definition it excludes anything before then. Forum software existed for decades at that point.

yes, they did. decades before facebook. you just said that. what you probably wanted to say is that the term didn’t come out until… well here is the news for you. the term usually comes after the phenomenon it is describing, not the other way around. it doesn’t work like “hey guys, i have cool term - social media - now we just have to invent some” 🤣

anyone’s social media definition, except it seems like you

nice projection there. have fun.

Social media has always excluded forum like sites. Social media has a strict definition

social media has never excluded anything. it wouldn’t even be possible, and that is because there is no supreme authority that could issue some strict definition that would be legally binding for everyone 😆

yeah, no.

the person who wrote “look at me, i am so cool, i am not using social networks” on a social network didn’t do that because they would be confused by new technology that didn’t exist generation ago, they did that because it worked for narrative they tried to present. and unfortunately it is more and more common and it is not a problem related to technology, just look at any political discussion.

so while what you said is true, it is not very relevant to the discussed problem.

RSS allows you to subscribe on topic you actually like or want and ignore other stuff.

subscription on lemmy allows you the exact same thing. i don’t see how scrolling through your rss reader should be any different from scrolling through the lemmy app.

i am afraid that consensus among general population increasingly is “words mean exactly what you want them to mean at any given moment”. welcome to post-factual age.

core bussines for google is harvesting your data and sell them, having a mail is just one of neccesary tools to achieve that goal ;)

if anything, my advice in such situation would be get your own domain. after that, if you decide to host it on google (i would not recommend it, but it is your life) you are no longer their prisoner, because you can get up and leave at any time.

Gmail is a great option

after you spend two paragraphs explaining how it is inconvinient to depend on someone who can change anything at their will, your conclusion is to move to google? 🤣
