I suspect in the near future it will be impossible to buy a TV without spyware/adware. The only option will be to not connect it to the internet and run your own Raspberry PI/SBC based solution.
That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

Oligarchs are going to do oligarch things.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Macedonia, Botswana or the US.
The issue being discussed does not fall under defamation.
You would be fine with AI-gen porn images of your teenage daughter being distributed around the internet?
I believe it’s notably worse. The focus seems to be more on industrial use cases with stationary batteries.
This is honestly pretty funny stuff.
Even if you are not doing anything particularly sketchy, you still want to make a habit of using multiple unrelated email addresses and always using alts with new unrelated names.
That’s some pretty bad opsec, using a single email address with the same nick.
I am merely going by their actions, not by your words.
From the source Bloomberg article:
Like Google and Anthropic, OpenAI is now shifting attention from the size of these models to newer use cases, including a crop of AI tools called agents that can book flights or send emails on a user’s behalf. “We will have better and better models,” Altman wrote on Reddit. “But I think the thing that will feel like the next giant breakthrough will be agents.”
The fact that Sam “worldcoin” Altman is saying this publicly (like anyone would trust an LLM to book a flight or to send non-trivial emails) suggests the grift may be coming to an end.
Here is a really deep and complex ethical discussion for you.
You create a free and private email service and you don’t register nigge.rs and nuke.africa as your domains.
Imagine that!
Very difficult and super complex ethical choice!
I think Andreessen is lying and the “techno optimist manifesto” is a ruse for PR.
a16z has been involved in various crypto pump and dumps. They are smart enough to know that something like “play to earn” is not sustainable and always devolves into a pyramid scheme. Doesn’t stop them from getting in early and dumping worthless tokens on the marks.
The manifesto honestly reads like it was written by a teenager. The style, the tone, the excessive quotes from economists. This is pretty typical stuff for American oligarch polemics, no?
The nation introduced a labor policy in 2018 that capped maximum work hours to 52 – 40 hours of regular time and 12 hours of overtime.
To be honest, I would be surprised if this rule was actually followed. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could comment.
I always found interesting how some american oligarchs have a fondness for inserting themselves in the pop culture zeitgeist.
I get that. Sounds stupid. I mean hitler.rocks? Or nuke.africa?
It is probably good that they are shutting down.
This seems like a win-win scenario for everyone involved.
They are likely trying to promote the URL in the post body as opposed to sharing this (highly generic) info on Lemmy.
Thanks for sharing. Going to read this before bed (yes, I am a nerd).
I have a feeling premium TVs won’t escape adware/spyware either. They can get their margin on the hardware and earn some more money on spyware; I don’t see what incentive they have to not do both. I hope I am wrong though.
