Sign me up for a graphene razr ultra please and thank you. Dont have any issue with self install if it doesnt ship that way

It's a really interesting subject, and although it's clearly had human editing, it makes me sad how much AI generation characteristics I think i see in the text

I could be wrong, in which case im sad AI has introduced such doubts and cynicism

If i'm right, i dont object but wish people would declare AI assist in the byline. Particularly when w are dealing with hobbies and fandoms and the like where passion is often the source of knowledge.

In general i agree very strongly, but always gave cartridge game rentals a pass. You made me question that today.

I couldn't afford everything that looked fun as a kid, renting gave a 'try before you buy' option that simply didn't exist for consoles with physical cartridge media.

Early PCs had a lot of shareware and demo versions to fill that gap so rental wasn't needed, it's sad that those practices died out and left the space for people to profit by bringing barely anything more than having the wealth to buy the assets.

So the pass i gave is now revoked. Cartridge rental was me paying for something that should have been a marketing cost for the publisher.

Still think the old model of rent a movie for the weekend is okay, though I strongly object to streaming platforms renting access to nebulous catalogues). At least, it was okay when the rental cost was 10-15% of the purchase price... now i see ads for digital rental of brand new movies that are almost the same price as buying it on disc and that is just naked profiteering.

I dont have trust in the bbc as an impartial reporter of the news. I dont believe any one outlet could ever achieve that accolade or should be treated as a singular gospel source of truth. They are just one provider and a balanced view of the world needs reading across providers, party lines and preconceptions.

I think they deserve criticism and challenge but not to be singled out for such or expected to achieve unrealistic goals.

When microslop withdraw all services from Israel I will pay attention. Until then, its all marketing.

So the agreement could be simpler.... It basically says the US (and allies) stop breaking internationallaw, and pay Iran a fuckload of money to rebuild all the stuff they blew up while breaking international law. Iran must agree to continue to abide by the lawful agreements that were in place before the pointless and illegal US military assault.

"Joyce is really the epitome of the American Dream. She's raised two kids on her own. She's worked two jobs for 15 years. She fully supports herself. She's been completely compliant."

Who the fuck dreams of working 2 jobs for 15 years!? - Nobody wants to do that.

Or is it the selfish maga voter's american dream that is being referred to? Having found someone who accepted exploitation and wage slavery without complaint is the dream??

"...pleaded guilty to causing a nuisance without reasonable excuse"

thats a crime? And what would constitute a reasonable excuse?

hey, can we arrest trump for that if he comes back to the uk?

Can we apply the same logic and principle to self driving cars now please and hold the owners of the proprietary software fully and properly responsible for every poor judgement, traffic violation, accident injury and death that happens in self drive mode.

No airgap = no containment

In all likelihood, this is a BS piece to make people think the models are intelligent.

If its not, then openai are utterly incompetent and reckless.

Wheres their letter to Israel and their north american colony...?

Going to get down voted to hell and back for this I expect, but hey, different opinions generate discussion right?

This is good legislation for the environment, for non-smokers, for the NHS, and has zero negative impact on smokers. The ONLY parties I see really hurt by this are tobacco companies, since retailers make minimal margins on tobacco.

The constant use of the word freedom in the thread comments just seems odd to me. This isn't a question of freedom, and the comments mostly seem to ignore the paradox of tolerance as it applies to antisocial activity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance. Individual freedoms have limits and must end at the boundary of another persons personal space and freedoms. That's why smoking is banned in confined public places.

Its all very well to say tax the shit out of it and fund the NHS, but that will feel pretty shit when your parent/partner/child has to wait for an operation because the queue is full of smokers who are entitled to that spot by having paid for it. Which also veers dangerously close to creating paid tracks within the public national health service.

This is ridiculous and clearly shows both nefarious intent and complete disregard for the GDPR and it's core principle of data minimisation. There must be a simpler solution to this - maybe through attestation from a trusted third party who has already (legitimately) verified the user's identity - like a bank. Imagine a user creating and providing a token that allows a one-time request through the open banking standards to receive an attestation on whether or not the user is over 18 - without disclosing the users actual dob or any other personal information except who and how the attestation was made. Not sure if it would even be necessary for companies to store precisely when the attestation was made if the banks themselves record the event.

You can't claim privacy first, promise you wont sell user data, then preinstall whatsapp.
These three things cannot all be true. At any price.

So.. 250 people charged in connection with epstein files?

An proven moron said something mind numbingly stupid. News at 10...

Why do people keep giving this idiot exposure?

You are free to disagree but as a man who wants to be considerate and respectful to all people, this is my take on your comment.

Assuming fake and appreciating anything that doesn't contravene your own boundaries is vastly insufficient. The creation process is irrelevant. The objectification and accompanying dehumanisation is the problem.

That woman was denied agency in a manner that any and all right thinking men should be denouncing as being outside their boundaries, regardless of whether you have ever encountered the person in the images... If you aren't objecting, you're complicit as a member of the audience.

Should be banning endless manipulative opaque algorithmic presentations for everyone.

You can still go graphene and isolate play services in a secondary profile.

For a better future: Organisations and services that structure themselves to require third party services need to take contractual responsibility for the actions in their fulfillment supply chain, just as an online retailer takes responsibility for delivery agents. Google play services harvesting needs to be reflected in the privacy policy of every company that doesn't provide alternative access.

Wonder what will happen if we all start making data protection complaints about enforced non contractual third party data harvesting?

sad part is, Count Binface is not the joke candidate in this matchup.
