McDonalds removes AI drive-throughs after order errors in c/[email protected]

But the same holds for regression, which you seem to favour. So why do you feel that regression is so much better than classification (which is, when combined with a confidence score, basically regression)?

I disagree. Classification in combintion wo ith a confidence score is a viable use case for AI.

Indeed. Oftentimes they kinda resolve their cognitive dissonance by saying 'Ah, you got a fiance, you have to say that wink'. As if there is no other logical explanation.

I guess it is somewhat like paying in cash for your groceries: While anonymous, only you buy at this time of the day your favourite 3 food products, a cup of gluten-free instant ramen and a period product.

I would be concerned about this scenario:

  • Company X has your TV data (but doesn't know your name, etc)
  • Company Y, Z, ... know your name and have data on you.
  • They buy/share/whatever data and intersect it. Now they can probably connect the data they have on you.

Same. The cost point ($10) is a bit ... weird, but it is actually appropriate.

Would that make it basically anonymous?

Well, no. I think there is so much information in there, that the IP address is your least concern.

Not sure. Couldn't the bots just decrypt it the same way?

Ahhh, didn't read to the end. Hm. Still not convinced. I don't want captchas etc to use the internet

While I'm at it, what is the community opinion on NoScript? The first few weeks were a bit of a pain, but now it is actually quite convenient.

Mostly interested in non-standard ones, e.g. https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt. Not necessarily just about ad-blocking but a clean online experience like SponsorBlock. Interested in non-standard uBO lists as well.

I will try to compile a list of what was said here:
