I don’t doubt that they sell data, but it would have to be monumental to actually fund all their hosting needs.

Yeah this sucks, but do they have any alternatives? How else do they make money? Or is everyone mad because the amount of ads they show is disproportionate to the amount of ads they need to show?

I’m guessing they didn’t have any other choice.

Yep, I don’t remember the exact phrasing, but in these situations, I assume incompetence before I assume evil intent.

Maybe it is intentional but the incompetence is in how obvious they are.

Is there a site with a list of stats, some stuff like current stock index prices, interest rates, employment rate, and then some more basic stats like gasoline prices, egg prices, milk prices, etc, from before inauguration day and today with diff?

This has to exist somewhere already right?

It’s like a new turing test to be able to tell if something is satire or an April Fools joke.

“Not a hotdog” levels of incompetence

Wow, did not expect downvotes for asking a question, so thanks for responding.

I guess to clarify, I’m not worrying too much because if or when these tariffs get implemented and they prove to be ineffective and unpopular, he will immediately fold and backtrack. But I realize now, this will probably have it’s own consequences.

I’ve been mostly ignoring all this tariff talk. Is there reason to believe that this will be any different from his promise of building a wall?

I would think detecting and removing spammy and scammy comments would be a higher prior6

Castaway fanfic?

Does the learn more link actually say anything useful or relevant?

Interesting way to put it. The first thing it made me think is that if they did the 2nd part entirely within your PC, would it be ok privacy-wise, and would the consumers be ok with it?

I haven’t looked into the current iterations options, but I think I still want the option to turn it off. Personally I’m less concerned with privacy and more concerned with it using up my computers resources.

Maybe it’s inspired by Rothko

This is how I’m able to sleep without worrying about death, one of these billionaires has got to be funding research so they can live forever. No guarantee they’ll share but that’s at least a less dread inducing issue.

Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven’t returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.

Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security

I’m not defending any companies, just thinking out loud, but I supposed I can see if that’s how it reads.

I was just asking myself why it feels wrong when a machine does it vs when a human does it. By your argument, would it be ok if some poor nobody invented and is using this technology vs a billion dollar company? Is that why it feels wrong?

I’m more trying to figure out why it’s generally acceptable when a human does it vs when a machine does it.

I don’t know for sure, but I think they would be able to adjust settings so that it looks nothing like any original work, but still have the same style, as I’ve seen people do.

Ok, dumb question time. I’m assuming no one has any significant issues, legal or otherwise, with a person studying all Van Gogh paintings, learning how to reproduce them, and using that knowledge to create new, derivative works and even selling them.

But when this is done with software, it seems wrong. I can’t quite articulate why though. Is it because it takes much less effort? Anyone can press a button and do something that would presumably take the person from the example above years or decades to do? What if the person was somehow super talented and could do it in a week or a day?
