Yes finally people get it.

Roof workers, them mounting solar panels and garbage trucks picking up trash bins.

Microsoft uses damage control.

It was not effective.

Not to forget, how we now “only” work 40h (for most people), but productivity went up and a lot of down times and social interaction in the past, were replaced by workload grind in a now stressful office environments.

I’m so sick of this non news. It’s just imaginary value too.

I use RedReader on Android, no VPN or extra script required. On desktop I have yet to see a login wall.

Opt-in but you get an annoying full screen popup every boot, like for the windows11 upgrade. It’s only a matter of time, til they sell AI recall features as Win12 and then beg you to upgrade for free, pretty please!

If you still can, they’ll find ways to disable the option to turn them off, because it’s time you don’t watch an ad.

This should count as violation of human rights. You’re chained to the seat for hours and have no other option than look at this screen or force your eyes closed. Holy shit, people should get really mad. Flashing ads on a screen you don’t look at directly are still very annoying, even if you look on your phone.

That doesn’t sound too bad.

I too considered upgrading but there were months and months of botched updates, so I restraint myself and later found out there’s zero benefit for upgrading.

That’s what they’ll try to end now with buggy feature bloat shoehorned in.

I want it for gaming.

People have less spendable money on average than 20 years ago and there are more games and more unfinished or broken games, that are sold for a higher price. Games instead should get cheaper, as people have less money to spend. Your assumption that games used to be more expensive is therefore flawed.

That said, AI generated images, aka fake images and nudes of celebrities etc, are seen as new now. But we could do that with image editing software for decades, just the speed changed. Now everyone acts like as we require new laws, but they are already in place. AI video generation might be a bit more tricky, as one used to not be able to do that without a lot of time and money, but still, it’s nothing new and laws are in place. We won’t be able to stop this technological advancement and we even harm people by that. If only rich corporates dictate the AI environment, we destroy possible startups, harm citizens and also give evil actors more power, because the later doesn’t care about laws, while the average Joe’s privacy and other rights are getting more and more restricted.

Why is this upvoted. It’s a wrong statement. Maybe there’s no recall open source local AI yet but voice chat with AI is already possible without sending your information to anyone else.

To a way you can already do AI audio chat with sillytavern or tavernAI and oobabooga llm in the backend. Its a little setup required but you can find online tutorials. For example from aitrepreneur on YT. It’s not perfect yet, but we’ll get there. It’s already fun to use, I just wish I had a better PC to run with a bigger and newer language model. Now using a recall function, that’s too new, but I’d not surprised if we get that in a few months.

The snake ate it’s tail before it’s fully grown. The AI inbreeding might be already too far integrated, causing all sorts of Mumbo-Jumbo. Also they have layers of censorship, which effect the results. The same that happened to chatgpt, the more filters they added, the more it confused the result. We don’t even know if the hallucinations are fixable, AI is just guessing after all, who knows if AI will ever understand 1+1=2, by calculating, instead of going by probability.

I mean they could disable it until it works, else it’s knowingly misleading people

Who doesn’t like getting lawyer PMs because you made a dark joke on a meme subreddit? (Or in future fediverse)

Do only half of the annoying tasks.
