If it tastes like the very mild flavor of gas ripened tomatoes then I have no interest. Heck, I don't even mind eating a banana that's still a big green. I'm bit suspicious at minimum. I notice the article doesn't say anything about the taste..

It's super simple to re-prompt the LLM to remove the offensive part of the answer... We all have to do it on a regular basis... If you give the AI the power to change it's own code, the results can be un-predictable... The responsible AI programmer would include a scheme to track and roll back any changes that are deemed undesirable, unethical, or un-anything... but yes, it's fine to be skeptical or suspicious...

There are many ways to solve a problem. "Cheating" is most def one of them. If you're not cheating, your not really trying... If you get caught cheating, you're not trying hard enough... If you didn't set the boundary conditions for the AI, you did a bad job and the results are a reflection on you, not the AI.

I had a similar issue. I'm very familiar with TurboTax SW so buying it was a better option than learning the free options. I have several additional schedules. However, I mistakenly bought the full biz package, but was trying to buy the Personal and Small Biz package I normally used. There little questionnaire tricked me into buying that more expensive package, but I immediately realized it wasn't what I wanted because the full biz package doesn't even include personal tax retrun. Trying to return the package was a nightmare and I basically could not do it. Just finished entering a dispute with my credit card... Next year, I'll plan to take the time to learn the free option and be rid of Turbo Tax forever. Also, we should make this much easier. The government has most of the info. Just need to enter your deductions and hit accept...

Wish I had mod points. These cycles never stop, they just have new names/faces... Pick a scam from the list: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Flifestyl...

I get normally get mod points shortly after I post here... I have you as friend of friend, so assume we're somewhat aligned...

A used tire and 365 used Condoms?
What’s the difference between ignorance and apathy?
What’s the difference between chemistry jokes and physics jokes?

Answers:
One's a Goodyear, and the other, a GREAT year
I don't know and I don't care
Chemistry jokes can be funny periodically, but Physics jokes have more potential

Keep it going...

It's behind a paywall, so you get a pass on reading the article. I did not either. However, I assume this law is about Personal location data, not Aggregate data...

Sadly, you are 100% correct on all points. What's worse, is too many people who are either totally fine with it, or worst of the worst, actually encourage it upon hearing "it's for your own protection" much less "think of the children"

Some folks would like a wagon with 93 escorts in it... myself specifically... :)

ya, I doubt this is how it turns out in the modern world. Look at what Google did when facing similar complaints from the EU in 2018. They started charging Android device makers a royalty for devices sold in the EU where they were bundling their chrome and android apps. MS will do the same. In the end, MS will get more money from EU buyers and who still want to put windows on their machines. I'll bet you a dogecoin or three...

Feels likely things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. Besides fake news I've had several conversations where SW devs will be impacted by AI. Simply go to ChatGP and ask it to create code for a specific purpose in a specific language and you will get a pretty detailed code snippet with explanations. I asked it create code for selecting one of three cameras in Android and it returned with a module which checked for camera permissions and asked the user to enable if needed along with a section for error handing. Full disclosure, I'm not a SW dev, I'm a Product Manager, but it looked pretty good to me.

Having recently converted back to Apple phone, their maps really suck compared to Google Maps... my own opinion. And I have a friend who works at Apple maps... He's the one who told me about slashdot 20 years ago, so let's see if he sees this post... ;-)
