It’s not in any of the articles, but in dropbox forums:

The Third-Party AI features are not available to everyone yet. The features are in alpha and are only available to customers on Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Business, Business Plus, and some customers on Dropbox Standard and Advanced.

If you’re on a Basic, Plus or Family account, or you’re part of one of the other groups that don’t yet have access, the Third-Party AI features won’t be available to you.

There’s a checkbox in your Lemmy account settings to allow/block all bot accounts. Only works if they identify themselves as such, so it’s not foolproof, but it’s better than nothing.

Maybe for the Cybertruck 2 they can get a designer that has graduated kindergarten?

Give me a solid car with an electric motor, but all old-school buttons and knobs in the cabin instead of a touchscreen that will be out of date in 5 years and cost 10k to replace if the kids get their grimy hands on it.

When the only communication given about the firing is to complain about Altman’s lack of communication, there’s a level of irony there I can’t even put into words.

Next time you get a hint of imposter syndrome, just remember you’ve never been as bad at your job as an OpenAI board member.

This is like your neighbor gifting you their child’s drawing and saying it’s worth $100.

Without somebody actually buying at that price, it’s just a made up number.

Doing something “for the children” is more important, apparently, than doing anything useful.

It’s not popular to “defend” social media these days, but plenty of studies have found that an adolescent’s online life is basically a reflection of their offline life. i.e. the social media effect is being overstated due to factors largely beyond the platform’s control. But if people don’t want to hear that from some rando online commenter, maybe they’ll listen to real scientists:

The largest independent scientific study ever conducted investigating the spread of Facebook across the globe found no evidence that the social media platform’s worldwide penetration is linked to widespread psychological harm.

Within-person changes in self- and other oriented social media behavior were unrelated to within-person changes in symptoms of depression or anxiety two years later, and vice versa.

Eight-in-ten teens say that what they see on social media makes them feel more connected to what’s going on in their friends’ lives, while 71% say it makes them feel like they have a place where they can show their creative side. And 67% say these platforms make them feel as if they have people who can support them through tough times.

Using social media is not inherently beneficial or harmful to young people. Adolescents’ lives online both reflect and impact their offline lives. In most cases, the effects of social media are dependent on adolescents’ own personal and psychological characteristics and social circumstances—intersecting with the specific content, features, or functions that are afforded within many social media platforms. In other words, the effects of social media likely depend on what teens can do and see online, teens’ preexisting strengths or vulnerabilities, and the contexts in which they grow up.

The most recent and rigorous large-scale preregistered studies report small associations between the amount of daily digital technology usage and adolescents’ well-being that do not offer a way of distinguishing cause from effect and, as estimated, are unlikely to be of clinical or practical significance.

Edit: The excess data collection is a separate issue, and one that really does need to be dealt with.

Using one dominant position (Chrome market share) to extend into another (data brokerage) is textbook Monopoly 101.

Excel does 1000 different things, and for 998 of them, there’s at least one better option.

The two things Excel does best: 1) be accessible to everyone from the greenest high schooler to the most senior IT admin. 2) do those 1000 different things at least somewhat competently.
