Something my instructors could never explain to me is what Turnitin does with the content of papers after they’re scanned. How long are they kept? Are they used for verifying anyone else’s work? I didn’t consent to any of that. When someone runs for office 20 years later are they going to leak old papers? Are they selling that data to other AI trainers? That’s some fucking bullshit. It needs to be out of the classroom for more reasons than just false positives.
Not for you or I.
Same, same.
It’s also a puff piece, though it does contain the common and increasingly-comical self-flagellation at the end about how all these models are probably racist. Like all corporate DEI initiatives, everyone involved is only interested in admitting the problems in such a way as to avoid ever challenging the power structures that replicate them.
Ask me how much time I’m spending on (and how much they’re paying me to sit through) DEI training at work. I mean, Im not against it, but if the CEO isn’t gonna share the internal power structure, wtf is the point?
In functioning countries, healthcare is publicly owned, publicly operated, publicly accountable, and guaranteed to all residents. In other words, it’s democratized. Compare that to living in a country where millions of people do not have access to medical care and where Google is actively working on a proprietary chatbot alternative to doctors,
(While calling it democratization of healthcare)
which gets a puff piece in the most prestigious scientific journal, and ponder what working in or writing about tech does to a motherfucker.
No, there really isn’t. There isn’t going to be any form of technology where you can be free if it. And in that case, I don’t see how it will be possible for Mozilla to avoid it, even if they want to. At the very least, Firefox will have to interact with it elsewhere. It’s really best that they start figuring out what that’s going to look like, if a bit late.
I very much do not want AR. There will be ads everywhere. What happened to the anger people had toward Google Glass and the feeling that people wearing them would be recording everything around them basically all the time?
I understood a couple of those words…
let people have their
I’d be very interested to see the gender breakdown, here.

Would they, though? Wouldn’t they just write it off? I mean, I have no idea what it costs to ship a vehicle from the middle east, but if it involves cargo ships and freight trains, would they bother? Has he got to arrange and pay for it himself and get reimbursed? Just buy a new car. Trying to get it back at this point is over the top. Maybe don’t buy a douchemobile next time.
Who does he expect is going to pay to ship it back to him?
Paywalled.
Fucking UNIONIZE.
No doubt.
I didn’t want any of this shit. IDGAF if we don’t have AI. I’m still not sure the internet actually improved anything, let alone what the benefits of AI are supposed to be.
Does that mean that if we use technology more we’d have enough value in the economy to pay everyone a UBI?
There’s already enough value in the economy to pay everyone a UBI.
But we don’t have a UBI, so why? If the value exists than where is it? I don’t believe its being funnelled into the pockets of some shadowy deep-state private 4th branch of government.
It’s being funneled into monopolies and doled out as stock dividends into the pockets of investors and billionaires such as Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg.
This is a “feature” that was only ever available in India. It still sucks, but that’s a pretty rage-baity headline.
Same, but tearing down and rebuilding cities is a feature, not a bug. Well, except for the carbon emissions involved in doing that.
How about trains? Americans are too used to their cars for those long-range trips. Make them unnecessary. Build out the infrastructure. Have your car for local trips, switch to trains for anything else.
They should be fucking shut down. Fuck fines.
