Sad!

There's also the the part where you had to opt in to unrestricted data collection to use the app. The app won't geocode data from the watch unless you set it to allow location tracking at all times, even when not using the app.

Got the Scanwatch on an employer discount deal with Withings, still wasted $180.

Yeah, this whole post felt like some weird deja vu from 25 years ago on a web forum. "Bastards are putting malware exe's on file sharing, wtf??"

Customers don't, but Apple does because it drives the hardware upgrade cycle.

No, the very top. Nadella has been driving this directly, he was going to get there first, shock & awe, etc. Maybe this would have worked if Microsoft cared about customer experience as much as it cares about customer lock-in.

>Concerned about what Apple AI is collecting so I'll dump it all into another corporate AI to find out what it is

We've finally achieved AI Inception here. And I'm sadly sure we're going to go deeper.

The first jailbreak for iOS was available within six months of the original iPhone release, I'm not sure why you think this particular exploit "shattered" a reputation that hadn't existed for 15+ years.

"Guess what everyone, our AI can go rogue, TOO!"

It's just getting really embarrassing for Google at this point.

More like following the Computer Associates model, a tale as old as time. Find a mature platform with a captive user population with a fat, lazy management team, buy them out, slash headcount, and open the taps. Someone in the thread mentioned Atlassian, that is a perfect target for this kind of strategy.

You could just get the Magsafe battery though.

This strain of nihilism about anti-bot efforts baffles me. Cloudflare built a gigantic business on stopping DDoS attacks. There will never be good faith self-restraint by AI bros, there is too much money at stake and no regulation, doing nothing means your only alternative is disconnect from the Internet. Anubis introduces enough friction that some percentage of the lunacy is throttled and possibly give your server a fighting chance.

All you had to do was to identify this as AI authored since it was going to be obvious anyway. Still valuable to have someone post the write-up.

That's not what he's saying. He was doing this writing to communicate with other human beings, and that since that seems seemingly has died off in his community there isn't much point in continuing that.

It's great that there are people that enjoy being a training bot for a corporate product, but some people still want to talk to other people. And if a system ever becomes an AGI, I am fairly sure it will no longer need any human input, so our days as training bots are likely numbered. Enjoy it while you can I guess.
