Same reason — most LLMs are 3-18 months outdated in their core models. That means from their perspective, “news” is all predictions about the future.

The important bit:

Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.

And I presume everything except Windows 11 Teams will be considered “unsupported”.

Well, also remember that the current model was likely trained before the data was scrubbed, so from it’s perspective, you are asking it to create a work of fiction.

Imagine a camera on the bottom of the body instead of where the eyes would be. Now have it circle like an eagle, flapping as needed. Telephoto lens.

The one thing it has going for it is covert surveillance.

Unfortunately, tape can’t mute the microphones.

It all depends on goals. If your goal is to fake it into a high paying job, cheating works. If your goal is to enrich your knowledge, it’s useless.

But in order to always do the second, you pretty much have to have enough confidence in your ability to have a soft landing when you graduate that it isn’t worth it OR already have a better grasp of the subject at hand than the average intelligence distilled by an AI.

But to publish on AltStore, you need a developer account, which already provides free publishing on Apple’s App Store.

The big difference is that you can publish anything that can be notarized instead of being limited by Apple’s reams of regulations. But you still have to abide by the Apple Developer agreement.

At least AltStore doesn’t require a big sideloading song and dance anymore. But I stopped using it once the software I used it for became available on the App Store.

And Riley’s going to have to deal with malware and scams now :/

Well, DOGE already fired a significant amount of the staff that wasn’t focused on private sector interaction. There’s nobody left who could take time to police online speech. So a large portion of that cut just means that there will be a hiring freeze for positions focused on government security and investigations.

What exactly does “spun off” mean here? Doesn’t Comcast still have a stake in the new org? Isn’t this just changing the lipstick color on the pig?

Personally, I look at the metabolic model and think “yeah; I should be doing those things anyway to have the fullest life I can have.” At that point, it doesn’t really matter what my risk level is, I’m already taking appropriate steps.

The White House may never be for sale, but it does have a history of being burned to the ground when its occupant provokes its northern neighbour.

Disqualifying? No. However, he’d run up against similar prejudices that make it difficult for a woman to win the presidency.

Remember that Pete Buttigieg was in the running at one point.

Just so you know, I’m a fellow Voyager user on lemmy.ca and I don’t see that anywhere I’m not a mod.

I never said it wasn’t a word; it means bully. But hectored doesn’t mean bullied the way we use that in English—it would mean to create a bully.

I wouldn’t. I’d set up at least four groups and let them run autonomously from each other. I might not even let them know that there’s other groups on the planet.

More chance of survival if there’s different groups trying different things. Strength in diversity.

Sorry… is hectoring supposed to be heckling? Trump is the hector in this case; he can’t make Canada the hector. When the first non-proper-noun word out of a writer’s keyboard is that far off what they meant, I have difficulty taking anything else they write as anything but regurgitated vaguely understood hearsay.

“Factory workers ’on average’ earn 1.9x minimum wage.”

Average is a silly thing to use here. That means the factory owners are making bank while the labourers are making minimum wages for their country — and in some countries, minimum wages is $0.

If they used the median instead, or compared against cost of living, we’d see different numbers.

You missed “make my computer work” and “get me movies for free”.

Knowing stuff can be a curse, especially when you’re 10 steps ahead of everyone else in the room and you know they’re just going to need the time to figure it out on their own.

But being smart means you know how and when to apply your knowledge. So you can provide the information when it’s actually useful and not when it just gets blank stares.

And knowing stuff but NOT talking about it all the time, and not using “told you so” means that when you DO speak, anyone who matters will listen and take you seriously.

I find that slipping useful knowledge into self-deprecating jokes is a useful way to get people to listen to it.
