I assume that the way that Dorsey and Musk want to ‘get rid of them’ means for everyone else and will be terrible.

But that doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that before patents and copyright people made all kinds of things and had zero reason to not make something just because someone else cpuld too. That is a made up theory of yours that has no basis in reality.

So you are assuming they didn’t make them for reasons that didn’t exist at the time.

Ok.

People also didn’t make stuff before patents existed. That’s why they exist.

What didn’t they make?

Not necessarily, but often you can. You also don’t have to, you just have to make it cheaper, which you can because you are benefitting from someone else’s investment.

How many restaurants make fries? How many companies make a drink called cola? Are they all identical?

Why do they keep making making those prodicts when they aren’t covered by patents?

Mass production copies are far from perfect. Like the dollar store version of anything is shit tier even if it looks the same. I’m not talking snobby high end or anything, just well made vs trash tier.

Hell, most of the goods we buy are made by a factory contracted with the person who designed and distributes the materials. That was true before we moved manufacturing overseas too. Cars were one of the few factories that were owned and operated by the companies that design and distribute the goods.

People made stuff before patents existed. In many cases there were certain people and groups that were sought out because they simply did things better than others who made the same things.

Knowing how someone else makes something doesn’t mean you can make it as well as the other person. Making quality goods is the same as cooking meals, the people and techniques are far more important than the designs.

No, that is not the reason for a child account that has age based restrictions. That is a reason for having multiple profiles so the recommendations and watch history are separated.

Being forced to have additional profiles you don’t need is terrible design.

Getting any sentence at all > no sentence.

Martha is a woman, so…

I would be even more worried if it was altruistic and for our benefit because we fuck that shit up all the time even before malicious actors are able to weasel their way into power and turn it into something horrible.

The biggest problem is that it is trying to be everything at the same time instead of being focused on a limited amount of knowledge. They are shooting for the moon and failing spectacularly, but since their staged presentations impress rich people who don’t understand the need for reliable results it keeps getting jammed down everyone’s throats.

Musk decided.

Musk’s long term corporate welfare strategy is forcing all government functions to be subcontracted out through his companies. His companies wouldn’t have long term stability without subsidies, this is literally all he knows.

Hmmmm

People forget about subscriptions all the time when they are cheap enough. The admin might even have some kind of grouped payment for multiple domains/sites and doesn’t bother cleaning them out to shut them down.

You dare sully my roomba’s name?

If users can fact-check stuff instead of relying kn Meta to do it for us.

The idea of this being useful assumes meta won’t be removing community notes they don’t like.

Mark Zuckerberg raped my roomba.

I mean, with their rough tongues they basically do already.

Experts are working from their perspective, which involves being employed to know the details of how the AI works and the potential benefits. They are invested in it being successful as well, since they spent the time gaining that expertise. I would guess a number of them work in fields that are not easily visible to the public, and use AI systems in ways the public never will because they are focused on things like pattern recognition on virii or idendifying locations to excavate for archeology that always end with a human verifying the results. They use AI as a tool and see the indirect benefits.

The general public’s experience is being told AI is a magic box that will be smarter than the average person, has made some flashy images and sounds more like a person than previous automated voice things. They see it spit out a bunch of incorrect or incoherent answers, because they are using it the way it was promoted, as actually intelligent. They also see this unreliable tech being jammed into things that worked previously, and the negative outcome of the hype not meeting the promises. They reject it because how it is being pushed onto the public is not meeting their expectations based on advertising.

That is before the public is being told that AI will drive people out of their jobs, which is doubly insulting when it does a shitty job of replacing people. It is a tool, not a replacement.

While you should check them more in old age, check them all regularly at any age. They can get broken and need smoothing out, can get ingrown if they don’t use their scratching post thing often enough, or in one case one of my cats front ‘thumb’ claws grew in a tight enough circle that it never really caught on the scratching post. We ended up needing to trim that one claw regularly.

Check them claws!
