We haven't seen this scenario with android smartphones.
No one supports Android phones the way Apple supports iPhones.
There is no "Genius Bar".
You're on your own. Got a problem with malware? Factory reset, or buy a new phone.
But why is it Apple's job (or concern) to prevent other people from scams?
Because once their iPhones are infested with sideloaded malware, customers call Apple tech support and bring it to the "Genius Bar" at the Apple Store, and blame Apple for the problems.
Apple incurs costs and a hit to its image.
Apple can't just say, "You were stupid and now you've voided your warranty," because EU law doesn't let them say that.
Indeed. Intel's founders included many of the Traitorous Eight.
Everyone thinks "I'm going to start over and eliminate all the old mistakes".
But they're not "starting over". They're using RISC-V, which is a mature instruction set with existing toolchains.
prevent Intel from using their Monopoly to crush you.
What monopoly?
Lately, Intel has been a crushee, not a crusher.
Just wondering which revolution Greed went all non-greedy and created a paradise.
The revolutions that tried to eliminate greed created the worst dystopias.
Kurzweil is predicting a post-scarcity society, where greed is kinda pointless.
it won't be distopia but a paradise. I sure do effing hope he's right on that one.
I also lean toward a preference for paradise.
Yes, there was a ton of jobs in the 1930's for those farmers and farriers that became unemployed.
The mechanization of agriculture happened in the 1800s, not the 1930s.
I like how people downvote comments like this without any comments or replies.
That's how Slashdot works.
You can either reply to a comment, or you can downvote, but you can't do both.
Why such antipathy for employment?
Because they'll soon find new jobs that are more productive and meaningful.
Regions with high levels of employment churn tend to be more productive and prosperous.
It says right in the summary that the new AI page just reads like an encyclopedia of facts now because the AI has no idea what people actually enjoy.
That is a quote from the fired copywriter, who has an obvious bias.
What matters is what the readers think. TFA doesn't mention that.
If AI takes over all the text we are going to live on regurgitated stuff from now on.
If readers don't like it, they'll cancel their subscriptions and/or stop going to the website. The magazine will respond by rehiring human copywriters.
The market will self-correct.
On the other hand, if readers are okay with the LLM output, the money formerly spent on the copywriter can be invested elsewhere.
Disclaimer: I am a gardener, but I don't read about gardening.
Even in University college classes; most homework is done by reading the assignments in the textbook, then turning to a page in the textbook with the assigned homework, and completing the exercises on paper. Zero internet access is involved.
My guess is that you went to college at least 20 years ago.
Um, you know China is a totalitarian state, yes?
No, China is an authoritarian state.
Maoist China was totalitarian. Modern China is not.
Chinese people have the same freedoms as you do, except for challenging authority.
the Chinese government can effectively do whatever the fuck it wants.
The Chinese nuclear industry has a solid safety record.
Their nuclear regulations seem to be working well.
It wasn't used for testimony. During sentencing, almost anything is allowed.
The AI says, "I believe in forgiveness, and a God who forgives."
So, it advocates a very light sentence, or none at all.
