I've got another 5 or 6 years with my FX-8150.

It was disabled even in accessibility mode in the last major update on my last phone (Pixel 8) I haven't tried it on the Pixel 9 but I doubt I'll have better luck.

The valuation is based on the expectation of the company to make massive profits. And if you think investor money is not profit for the people running Open AI, you're crazy. We could only hope that they run out of money and go out of business. But that'll never happen now with the amount of faith these corporations are putting in "AI" research.

It's in the first bloody paragraph. 😮‍💨

OpenAI is begging the British Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's supposedly "impossible" for the company to train its artificial intelligence models — and continue growing its multi-billion-dollar business — without them.

And if you follow the link the title of the article says it all:

#OpenAI is set to see its valuation at $80 billion—making it the third most valuable startup in the world

I don't know about Apple but Google used to make a little tone that let you know that it was listening to you. It doesn't do that anymore. Now it just shows a little green light which, if you're not looking directly at the phone you won't see.

And it was pretty frequent when Google's voice Assistant would randomly activate and I'd hear that little tone and I would have to turn it off so it wouldn't sit there listening to my conversation. But now you don't have that option, now if you miss that little light everything you say is recorded.

Fuck these services. I have permanently disabled both my phones 's Google Assistant and the Nest speaker I bought. Yes, it's less convenient. But the fact of the matter is that these companies aren't interested in making a service that is useful to you they just want to collect data on everything you do so they can sell it. And to be clear, I was fine with them collecting data on stuff that I actively participated in, it's the price I was willing to pay. But for them to pull this shady ass shit of removing the audible notification is just garbage.

Interestingly Israel has violated all three of these on hundreds of occasions in Gaza.

I expect the usage of VPNs in Texas to skyrocket exponentially in the next couple of months.

Yeah that's what we call corporate welfare. What exactly did that 5 billion buy anybody? All it did was make that fucking asshole richer.

Yeah I wonder how many billions of dollars in incentives did Texas Republicans promise that douchebag in order to get him to move to their State. And how many Texans are going to have to foot that bill.

I was looking for this post. If someone hadn't already posted his video I was going to. This is information that people really fucking need to know. The plastics industry is full of lies and those lies are stuffing our landfills with toxic waste.

Damn, $600k times 35 people is only $21mil. That's pocked change for this jerk. And yet, I'll bet he fights paying just the $600k to the one person tooth and nail like the spoiled rich fuck that he is.
