That is the point. Nebulous however that has more to do with the multifaceted approach of those behind these activities trying to show that there is not just one bad actor. The purpose is to get you to click on those links at the bottom to learn more. If you got that far and did not feel the need to learn more then you have already chosen a side in this discussion.

I too was wondering how they feel about the potential downsides which is not really mentioned.

I was not able to find this role on the link.

It is an interesting time to be at the peak of accumulated knowledge of a 50 year career and then see a tool that has the ability to create the code to preform a task I need. But that creation doesn’t feel the same and does take interaction from outside usually to make that code useable. I think that time for required interaction will be short lived and as code bases are slowly supplanted with generated code things will be more homogenized. I pray that will lead the people being allowed to solve more complex issue and I can’t wait to see the advancements to come. I just hope we can look back and say it was worth it, that don’t we end up with a bunch of AI generated crap that degrades technology by obscuring the useful and we end up worse than before.

Agreed, Reddit as a source of truth is the issue. Who in the their right mind would look at Reddit as whole and say that is an open, unbiased community focused on true and accurate information. And as the article and comments in this very thread show how moderation and its application within Reddit are "contaminated" which is a very good way to describe the situation.

Yes, but there is nothing that says that I have to consent to a random 3rd party monitoring where I go for either of those licenses.

Just one more data point for any 3rd party to buy from Flock and use how ever they please. Well you know as long as the check clears.

I dont't recall this being anywhere in the documentation or terms of the licensing of a vehicle. Did I miss that part?

It is harder to separate technology and political discourse as they seem to becoming more and more intertwined. This is probably the most respectful open forum that I know on the internet. My problem is much like yours if not here where? If we cannot discuss this here, then the people driving these technologies will not be able to reconcile technology's place in our political landscape and how our contributions ultimately are actively shaping the world around us. Unfortunately, Hacker News has the most literate and well thought out responses to extremely technical issues on the internet, seems like this would be the ideal place. You don't have conversations on X and Reddit etc. like you can find here on HN. The whole reason I love it here is getting to sift through all these comments here is for the knowledge people share here and I have seen highly charged ideologies discussed here in detail and it is still standing. But is that because the community has been actively avoided certain divisive topics?

I feel like this might be the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

Agreed just because a company thinks my threat model doesn't require anything but letters and should be short enough to memorize, sure does not mean they are correct. Apple is collectively dumbing down complexity for selfish reasons and then not allowing you the user to change default complexity and length. Looks like the only problem they were trying to solve was reuse which might be a plus one for the Apple device population but I am not sure the trade off is really worth it. But hey it's free!

After seeing how much they are going to charge for it, I am not sure if it will not cause more homelessness.

WHQL - Gamer Edition! taxing hardware with cost increases passed on to the lucky consumers. Gee thanks Microsoft.
