Patents shouldn’t exist! Mostly.

I think that’s called conversion. Or unjust enrichment.

Just wait, there will be “features” that are mandatory on most sites, only supported in chrome.

Nighthawkinlight just released a video on a material that accomplishes this that you could make at home.

My favorite is when I ask for something and it gets stuck in a loop, pasting the same comment over and over

Fucking it up for the rest of us

Another relatively innocent reason for the supposed high volume of uploads could be an error in the Asus router firmware.

Note the language could be.

Who’s to say it isn’t acting as a gateway for other smart devices that aren’t connected to the Internet? Or part of a bot net?

Difference is most companies just want to hold onto the patent to prevent competition

At some point there will be more satellites than is feasible to manage.

If they aren’t already, will we start treating them like telephone poles or cell towers?

Yep. Things don’t have to be this way.

Yeah, there is. But that requires thinking that isn’t emulated well by LLMs.

LLMs don’t really do any thinking.

Edit: what we’re seeing as AI is really just the next generation of ML (machine learning).

There’s no intelligence to it.

I recall in AP language and composition, the strategy our teacher told us, was that you could make up fake facts. All that mattered is that you demonstrated the rhetorical devices and proper grammar.

LLMs are basically like a student taking that test. The facts aren’t relevant, all that matters is the grammar and how it sounds. Maybe the facts are real, or not.

Do it, they’re a lot of fun to play with.

Depends, depends. In your case it’s probably about cookies, or IP. Maybe it’s inferred identity, hence why it takes a few days.

Are cookies or IP enough for 90% of people? Yeah. But I’m sure that data is worth less, because they already have tons of data on those folks.

What about the 10% that might be using a VPN? The <1% using tor?

That data could be more valuable because it’s harder to get.

I bet, if they haven’t already, some of the info stored by sites is how we interact with it. And I bet with AI you can pretty much fingerprint someone based on habits.

So even your alt accounts will know it’s you.

Edit: why do you think Reddit made the big push for their own app? Engagement, time spent looking at a post, how fast you scroll past something, all useful metrics for ad revenue. And we know that ad companies like tracking us.

Any spooky shit comes after the systems are developed for ads.

Sounds dangerous

I have lights go out on me all the time at the office, just sitting mildly still. What happens if someone falls asleep in the room? Or worse a kid? Severe sunburn and possible blindness

Again, the expectation in public is that you don’t have privacy.

The expectation I would have is that your own car isn’t going to collect evidence that could be used against you. And that it won’t collect data in your own garage or on your property.

Share holders!!!

With housing the way it is, and AI driving being a possibility, we’re going to see a huge influx of people truly living in their cars. Add remote work into the mix?
