Best case is that the model used to generate this content was originally trained by data from Wikipedia so it "just" generates a worse, hallucinated "variant" of the original information. Goes to show how stupid this idea is.

Imagine this in a loop: AI trained by Wikipedia that then alters content on Wikipedia, which in turn gets picked up by the next model trained. It would just get worse and worse, similar to how converting the same video over and over again yields continuously worse results.

I'll just quote @ulu_[email protected] from the crosspost:

Not just clickbait, the title is maliciously wrong.

The article is about Apple holding developers conferences with cops with the purpose of developing apps tailored to them, there's nothing about users privacy.

A business trying to enter a new market, what a weird concept eh?

Even at early bird pricing (39,-€) I'd rather get a cable that has the specs I need.

This seems to do a little bit more than simply list the specs (show shorted pins and whatnot), but it doesn't do any kind of load testing (tests like does sending 240 watts over the wire somehow interfere with the data transfer).

Most of the cables that I have lying around are USB 2.0 100 watts PD, as that's what most devices come with that have a cable in the box. For other cables I know what they're capable of because I read the spec sheet before purchasing them.

This might be useful to shops who sell refurbished phones that want to quickly check whether used USB-C cables are still good, but I don't see why anyone would want this for personal use.

He used old batteries, but I actually had new Duracell batteries with this feature very recently, in 2022 or so (Germany).

Malware could also reinstall it to be fair, or just create screenshots on its own.

Still smells fishy that Explorer has it as a dependency, "disabled" or not.

What's "Google hardware"? Likely just NVIDIA hardware running in Google's cloud?

I'm coping for RDNA4.

Pricing seems to be a lot cheaper than from "the big three" (Amazon, Google, Microsoft), but similar to competitors like Backblaze or Wasabi.

Most of their other services are super attractive in terms of price (and also quality in my experience), this seems more like an "hey we have S3 too".

Crazy how quickly NVIDIA went up. I wonder if they'll crash down just as fast should the AI hype either die off or shift to other manufacturers (Intel, AMD etc.) or in-house solutions (ex. Apple Intelligence).

This is the way.
