That’s why the labor laws are “unconstitutional.”

They still have all the edit history. All editing does is show the last one. The servers would have every version.

Like helping our fight against anthropogenic climate change.

I don’t know the worth of this opinion, but it resonates for me. .

I have never worked for Google or an affiliate, so I have no inside take.

Is Google turning into IBM?

Matter, if implemented correctly, would save them all money and allow the privacy conscious to drop the cloud.

They are losing money on their voice assistants, so they want out of the business of being the voice part of the central hub.

They’ll find ways to monetize the users who are less privacy concerned, but that’s not me and I think it’s not a lot of people who are here.

Ediit: I didn’t downvote you. I’m here for discourse and have found down votes don’t help that.

Matter works with HA and HA works with matter, keeping it local and easier (is the hope).

Edit to add: it’s not really a private cloud. It’s a mesh/WiFi network that transfers data based on the item type.

Matter. Get it adopted. Buy and implement only Matter devices in the future.

Needs a year or two, but if we can get that tech widespread, this cloud stuff will be less essential.

Yep. Gotta exist in meatspace sometime. It’s just how we evolved. We need people. People proxies aren’t as nourishing.

Yet.

I typed a comment saying something nice about Her.

Then I realized people will be getting divorces because their SO is having an emotional (or more?) affair with a bot. Drains the joy, man.

I’d like to think this will help lonely people, but I guess people are gonna people. Here’s hoping the AI isn’t “there” yet.

I like to leave a campsite better than I found it, but that can’t become rearranging the camping village.

I’ll say this though, give me a UBI and I’ll still work to add value. I’d probably still work my current job - just more confidently if there was a safety net. I think most well-adjusted people want a purpose.

If I didn’t work my job, then I’d be doing things with more obvious and direct social value. But if UBIs were a thing, some of that may not be necessary.

If they can’t monetize, they drop. In business terms that makes sense. No profit? Stop the bleeding.

In a wider sense though, Google has done a tremendous job at showing me I can’t rely on them for almost anything. I’ve begun moving email, search, browser, cloud storage… Within a few months Android Auto will be the only thing I can’t undo, except to use my car’s nav. Maybe I’ll do that too.

If no one has a job, there are no customers.

Rational self-interest can only operate alone for so long. Then all the rules change, one way or another.

“Don’t be a prospector, be the person selling goods to prospectors.”

~ paraphrase of an idea we’ve all likely heard

And like crypto it eats GPU and electricity more than people seem to understand. It can work 24/7 though, when/if it arrives.

A whole lot of greedy folks cheer on his naked greed and know someday they’ll be able to do the same.

He needs to be assessed all attorney fees.

Or another industry for adults.

You’re right. I know your response may seem implausible, but prosecutors have fought against the release of known innocent people.

It’s not even that they’ll try to get a win. It’s that they can refuse to simply honor justice in its most fundamental forms.

I’m not discussing my day.

Rebrand to Ludicrous Self Drive and add back LIDAR.
