If this is your immediate reaction, I think you might be part of the problem.

Yeah, I was annoyed when they first introduced it, but now I find it extremely useful

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification

I thought that pretty much every self driving algorithm in production was based on machine learning of some sort.

Exactly. It’s been trained on petabytes of clickbait, engagement-farming content.

Very impressive. You might even call it Full Self Flying

It’s interesting that you focused on so called “idiots” for having an issue with misleading branding and not the actual idiots who came up with that name

You can’t do a fair comparison unless you also collect all of the negative effects and determine whether the positives outweigh the negatives. If the impact of AI was universally positive, it wouldn’t be as controversial

And they’ve carelessly put zero safeguards in place to prevent abuse and that is where all of their bad PR has come from. If a warrant were required for every query, it would be a completely different story

Sure, and if the same level of effort were required to get the same amount of information, this probably wouldn’t even be up for discussion. But now we have technology to basically stake out every single citizen at any time with just a few mouse clicks. We can’t just pretend those things are equal.

My thoughts as well. The main complaints I remember hearing about CDs were people claiming that they were “too clean” and didn’t have the same personality as analog formats

Excited to try this out. I’ve been using back in time for years on my home server. It’s a great, lightweight easy to use backup system.

There are a lot of reasons to hate on Meta, but this seems mostly harmless. It might even be a positive thing if it helps parents spend more quality time with their kids instead of doomscrolling their FB feed. So what if the parents got the story from AI. I remember being too exhausted to do much of anything sometimes when my kids were younger. Getting some help with a bedtime story would have been welcomed
