Heads up 99%.

Whenever someone from a think tank talks about “the economy”, mentally insert the words “rich people’s yacht money” into the sentence.

We can’t provide free healthcare, because it might harm rich people’s yacht money.

Nurses are going to have to feed themselves from food banks in order to protect rich people’s yacht money.

We’ve decided to let kids work in slaughter houses to help boost rich people’s yacht money.

It works every time. Give it a try.

Google says that Bard is “is intended to…not replicate existing content at length” and, that if it does quote at length, it'll cite the page. But I wrote most of this Wikipedia entry, and I immediately recognized that Bard is copying it, word-for-word, at length. Sure, there's a footnote, but this is a straight-up duplicate of a webpage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Mountains

Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

My number one #Mastodon tip for people is to boost more!

Discovery sucks on Mastodon, which is partially by design, but it also means it’s hard to find new and interesting people here. If you see something cool, reach for that boost button as well!

I am so sick of AI related news. Why on earth people wants to replace the best parts of humanity with auto generated low quality sameness.
The last time I saw there was no shortage of new music, paintings, writing, etc. Please use AI to improve human life not to replace it.
This sums up @1Password and Big Tech so well
