This is actually good. There’s finally more room for good services offered by smaller companies that care about users.

So this was just luck? I thought it was like… a new method was discovered to detect them more accurately or something.

Seems like quite a lot of people on Reddit are suffering from some random apps (such as the phone app) taking gigabytes of space, which didn’t happen before.

But then, if it depends on customers to collectively stop buying something, we’re doomed already.

I have this mindset that in this information era, if something is put in front of you, someone else spent money and effort for that. Most often, that person is benefiting or profiting from it and you’re nothing but a puppet in that war.

Does that mean the news and other media we see are all false? Not really. But it certainly means it makes us worry or pay attention to irrelevant stuff instead of worrying about things that are actually important for us individually.

When you see it from this angle you realize there’s so much more important stuff happening, but news outlets decide to write about some Threads search meddling (which seems nobody uses anyway, but some people apparently feel threatened by it).

Besides being a journalist doesn’t make a person not biased. Especially if their salary depends on some narrative being spread.

Not sure if you’re disagreeing or agreeing with me. What I mean is, if a LLM’s output is in practice indistinguishable from human output, fingerprinting some popular services just creates a false sense of security, since we know malicious agents will for sure not fingerprint it.

Isn’t it just better to let humanity accept that a LLM’s output is identical to a person’s and always be skeptical?

The idea itself is valid, but wouldn’t that just make it more dangerous when malicious agents use the technology without fingerprinting?

I think the problem with this is assuming the incentive is to do good for humanity. That’s never the case, or better saying, that’s never what prevails. Possibilities are always gamed to profit or power gain. The same way a medical system is corrupted so that surgeons make unnecessary surgeries to earn more regardless of the risk you take (in a context where medicine is all about human life, hence “good”), I don’t trust any organization scanning everything you do and everything you have for the “good of humanity”.

Even science institutions have been turned into tools for power, despite modern science starting as a method for curious people to understand the world and sharing their discoveries with other like-minded people.

To be honest this doesn’t make me any more optimistic. I’m sure there are countries that might spend resources on this, but mine 100% won’t. And if the majority of the world is screwed, I guess we can all agree there won’t be any stable place.

This episode of Why Files was really worrying.

It’s just like Michael from The Office. You see he isn’t doing things on purpose to sabotage everyone, but he can’t control it, he needs the attention and the self worship.

And this one collects even more data from all your Windows usage patterns.

Only problem nowadays is downtime in some instances. Also, if too many people join Lemmy, other problems will follow, such as spam accounts, Russian shill bots etc. which would be very hard to deal with for people running the instances.

Well, except the traditional parents don’t think that way or just won’t do it, so saying that doesn’t matter in the cultural context. I don’t think there’s a solution to that except moving to a place more aligned with our values.

As someone who has worried a lot about this issue in the past, this is very enlightening.

Yet the article says Samsung attributes that to the phones market?

Samsung attributes this loss in profit to the decline in smartphone shipments due to “high interest rates and inflation.”

Something else that doesn’t seem to bode well is the fact that Samsung believes the boost that came from the launch of the Galaxy S23 series has faded.

And expects a comeback because it’s launching new models…

The manufacturer highlights the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. It also believes that the smartphone market will make a return.

This seems to indicate that most variable profit comes from the smartphones market.
