Interesting how MS is the reasonable one here where all their copilot stuff clearly separates paying business from free consumer stuff for training / not training.

However slack has gone and said they will train on everything, and ONLY the paying companies can request to opt out.

Too bad so sad for all those small dev teams that have been using the “free” version of slack… No option to opt out.

These existed shortly after the iPhone came out under the presumption people would miss the physical keys from blackberries. They didn’t sell well back then I don’t think they will now.

X claimed Media Matters “manipulated” the social media platform by using accounts that exclusively followed accounts for major brands or users known to produce fringe content and “resorted to endlessly scrolling and refreshing” the feed until it found ads next to extremist posts.

Media Matters’ report misrepresented the typical experience on X “with the intention of harming X and its business”, the company said in the lawsuit.

If I hand someone a set of bullet notes and ask them to send out a notice in writing to the company. They are going to convert those notes into paragraphs and sentences… Not just send out the notes.

Also MS already has a module for teams that will take the conversation transcript, and output action items based on the conversation… It is like having a note taker during the meeting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1gpkk-MwpY

Just like the executives assist that was tasked with scanning documents. And LLM can likely safely and quickly do many people tasks:

• summarize meeting transcripts
• highlight nest steps
• take an auto line and some data and turn it into words

There are a lot of human language job tasks that have zero imagination required just the ability to read summarize and write some proper English.

Robots / automation have replaced so many human physical labor jobs, even large dumb heavy machinery.

Language models replacing mundane human language tasks is hardly surprising.

I have replaced entire employee jobs with scrips / code, there are a lot of very basic jobs out there.

Telsa isn’t even close to being the first automaker to do this, it is to prevent scalping on pre-orders.

Makes sense Splunk was already one of the most expensive products in this space.

Wonder how long it will take for them to rune it.

With the push to SaaS for so many enterprise apps you have a lot less lock in for windows as an OS.

I feel like posting that I was there 3000 years ago meme lol.

I remember when the roots of those family trees where new.

Not available in Canada apparently (bard version)… however bing is…

Having it do a search then summarize the content from the search in one step is really handy. Basically skips the step of regular search oping a bunch of the links looking for relevant info.

AND it provides the source / references so you can easily click and read the actual page the info came from.

A lot of people I know had fairly large DVD collections but never accumulated very many Blue-ray releases.

Even more so when you realize they aren’t even digital, they use analog NTSC, PAL signal modulation / encoding.

BlueRay came out in 2006, there are Teens that have probably never seen a CD or DVD.

Blockbuster died around 2010, apple stopped shipping optical drives in the last of their computers around 2013, Streaming became the norm, there might be teens that haven’t used “Discs” for video and have streamed everything.

If your stuff just working is more important than customization and you take care of your devices you will probably be very happy. The platforms do have some significant differences in how notifications and the UI work vs Android so not everyone is a fan.

For me the typical 4 plus years of full OS updates and support is great. Never have to worry if my “insert android vendor / carrier” is supporting the next OS release.

Have had the iPhone 3, 3GS, 4s, 5c, 7, and am now on a 14. My 7 I used into the ground, did one official battery replacement on it (gets kinda short on battery life at year 2-3, but never had any issue with any App Store app. Of note my upgrade gap got a lot longer with the 5c as since about that generation they have become so reliable and powerful that it takes a lot for them to be obsolete.

How many people are going to still post death threats, character assassinations, or make racist or sexist comments.

Have you seen twitter and what named public figures say all the time and the comments from verified named accounts below?

I don’t believe we should have to link our personal info, but I do think we should have somewhat consistent ID that are confirmed linked to a person in order to gain some form of trust.

When you can just spin up random throwaways you can say whatever you want at no cost of time or money to you.

They have been “claiming”/ “announcing” this breakthrough since 2017 repeatedly. They STILL haven’t figured out how to mass produce it affordably to making it meaningful. They keep pushing out the date for when it will arrive for many years now.

Oddly enough PWA / Webapps was the original design intent for the iPhone (before the app store) and why it shipped with for the time the most advanced standards based browser on mobile.

I have yet to experience a PWA that is as quick to load or easy to navigate (smooth scrolling / responsiveness) as a native or hybrid native mobile app.

There always seem to be odd “browser” based glitches from errors from page loads or rubber banding or zoom / cliping of the UI at times.

Everything in the banking / point of sale space requires certification, thus there are few solutions that enter the space as it is a slow costly process that involves payment processors and banks.

• use the original cards
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Samsung pay
• a few others
• various NFC cloning tools that will raise eyebrows at the checkout (flipper zero)
