        I finally re-found this study I read a few months ago, that deserves a lot more attention. It is, in fact, the main reason we should be moving away from big-tech social media: it shows more right-wing content than left-wing content, no matter the political leaning of the user.

        Propaganda works. See more of something and you start believing it. And they know it.

                The solution is SIMPLE: Go after the "dangerous places" and make them safe again, one way or another

                        If personal ai agents start spam calling businesses en mass to ask questions or try to make orders, I guarantee you many of those businesses will de-list their phone numbers; especially restaurants.

                        It will completely overload small businesses with needless dumb questions. These people who are pushing this have never worked a customer service job in their lives.

W tej odsłonie Zuck wypisuje się z internetu, bo nie może być tak, żeby ludzie spontanicznie publikowali linki do obcych stron. Dwa na miesiąc mają wystarczyć! Ale to nie koniec!

                                    Jesteście ciekawi, po ile są te subskrypcje? No więc podstawowa za 190 zł/miesiąc daje - uwaga - osiem linków miesięcznie! Jest też wariant esencyjny (Essential) za 58,99 zł w którym są tylko ucałowania dla Zuckerberga, wariant Ekspert za 559 zł a w nim 20 linków, lecz największym hiciorem będzie pakiet Max za 1900 zł/miesiąc a w nim "Nieograniczona liczba zgłoszeń z udziałem specjalistów z działu pomocy". Tak! Tak!!!

                                    Oto po raz pierwszy "AI" będzie oznaczało "Actually Indian".

Meta says reading Messages is opt-in and requires Full Disk Access plus a Messages connector, several manual macOS steps. The journalist says Full Disk Access was off when it happened.

                                    So what: don't grant AI agents Full Disk Access or Messages access, and review what you've allowed in System Settings > Privacy & Security.

It’s madness: no democratic country entrusts the safety of citizens to the conscience of boards of directors. In effect, America has relinquished control of artificial intelligence.

                                                        We certainly wouldn't!

                                                            I’m excited to try Dots, but putting a new agent experience behind higher-tier plans limits who gets to experiment with it.

                                                            Accessibility isn’t the only kind of access that matters.

Moments later, I got a push notification from Muse suggesting that the conversation we were having would make for a good column and offered to put together research for me to write about. It even flagged a message from my editor about having a column ready for Monday.

                                                                                        Not only had I not asked it to do that sort of thing, I never gave it permission to read my messages. In fact, I remember explicitly choosing not to let it have access to my messages, calendar, and other personal information.

                                                                                        Stranger still was what happened when I asked Muse how it knew. It told me it didn’t have access to my message history at all. Instead, it said the Muse app on my Mac was simply passing along the text of incoming notification banners.

                                                                                        “When a notification pops up on your paired Mac, the text of that notification gets relayed to me—basically what you’d see in the banner itself,” Muse told me.

                                                                                        It went even further. “I can’t open your Messages app, scroll threads, or read history. It’s the incoming notification stream only, not access to your texts.”

                                                                                        Except that wasn’t true.

                                                                                        I did a little digging. Muse does sync your messages from the local Messages database and uploads that information as a data source. On my device, it had been activated and synced to row 187,462 of my Messages database. I’m not sure how many messages that equates to, but it’s obviously more than whatever Muse told me about what it was doing.

                                                                                        Which, honestly, is the point. I never gave it permission to do that. And, more importantly, I never would do so on purpose."

His face and his name are associated with loss of privacy, dishonesty, and forced opt-in.

                                                                                          If the Meta board would decide to oust Zuckerberg and publicly denounce him, they might have some opportunity to recuperate the brand names they manage.

                                                                                          But right now, Zuckerberg is the very face of user exploitation.

Helt enkelt för att det inte är möjligt att de ska kunna tänka själva eller vara självmedvetna. Det bara ser ut så då LLM:er använder vanligt språk som ett programmeringsspråk. Självlärande program har dock funnits mycket länge men de har tidigare bara använt språk som specialskrivit för att vara programmeringsspråk.
