It is all fine if that is what you really want. It can cause depression though in people who didn’t really want it but tried to get it anyway because that is what society told them they should do.

It is probably unhealthy in a very similar way to parasocial relationships with celebrities are if people take those too far.

Pretty sure we even have plenty of depressed and lonely people who have actual sex. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them aren’t depressed and lonely precisely because they are surrounded by so many people who supposedly care about them but really don’t.

Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers’ lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming language and doesn’t cause a computer to crash.

If that is their level of understanding of what constitutes code quality I am not surprised they think LLMs can actually produce usable code.

DOOM choose your own adventure style e-book?

Maybe multiplying each driven distance by the number of owners? I wouldn’t put it beyond them if they code that crap with AI.

Usually the goal when funding stuff like this is to buy some influence to control major decisions. I wouldn’t put it beyond an independent foundation, to take just one example, to drastically reduce the deadlines between confidential disclosure and public release where some government or corporate controlled organization might set some that are more made for the slow speed of large org bureaucracy.

It has been a lot longer since journalistic standards started their decline.

The entire infrastructure was changed towards cars within living memory. What makes you think the reverse isn’t possible or even likely in the next hundred years?

But CVE hurts Trump’s people, the scam artists and spammers and of course his buddies in Russia.

The relevant question here is if you are in Turkey because if you aren’t this is a much bigger deal than if you are.

Also, does “restricted access to your account for users” mean for all users or just for those in Turkey?

The reason why I was thinking it would utilities is that the big name brand social media stuff often pays to come pre-installed.

My guess would be that none of the big, well known brands are in the top ten and that those are instead useful utilities that almost everybody uses but rarely talks about.

While I see their concern I would be more worried that the sensitive data is exposed to workflows that deserve the “enterprise” warning label.

I guess it is useful for the US’ love for avoiding the units everyone lese is using that they have a unit that represents a lifetime worth of flops, the Trump?

Isn’t the idea that if you advertise you will get more people looking at/downloading your app and therefore rank higher?

That is what advertising companies would like you to believe but the effect is nowhere near this drastic, otherwise they would be showing double-blind studies about the effectiveness of advertising to all their customers all the time.

But now with additional artificial misinformation and artificial nazi bots thrown in…oh wait, that is just X already.

It is the kind of asset that makes you appreciate what you had before you decided to replace it with a Tesla.

And then “accidentally” lose the opt-out setting every other update or so.

Open source is much less useful with AI though since you can neither inspect how it works exactly nor modify that one thing that bothers you about the current behavior.
