Google + Government = Goovernment

Excellent piece, easy to read and I agree on most until this part:

     'The surveys all point the same direction: rising anxiety, rising      depression, rising rates of loneliness even as we've never been more connected.
     
     How could this be, when we've gotten so good at giving people what they want?
     Maybe because we've gotten good at giving people what they want in a way that prevents them from wanting anything worth having'

As much as it is true we are technologically more connected than ever, I would argue that much was taken away in parallel to what was given. The capabilities came to fruit but at the same time the governance and politics thinned out much of our desires at their core; ie now we're being told we want more and more because it's been determined we can't have certain things.

There be a thing called Thee Undocumented Rules of HN, aka etiquette, in which states - and I quote: "Thou shall not post AI generated replies"

I can't locate them, but I'm sure they exist...

So wait.. does that mean they no longer recommend a change of underwear in such cases?

Pixel phones currently have the additional benefit of a full Debian OS running via AVP. This is (imo) on par with or better than having Termux on a rooted device. It's still fairly off-the radar which makes it a really good time to be exploring it's uses.

Immediate, but short term, I assume..

them.

It's a lot more than what's listed in the title. Basically every major social media platform is in scope here.

What I am unclear about is—, what did the participants know going in about the study? Are they aware you are dealing with email phishing or was it just the broad topic of AI?

upvoting out of principle

I wonder if ignoring the email and forcing a more official action would have been the better move here, in retrospect? Perhaps I am ignorant on the legal responsibilities of your services, just seems like something more formal than an email would have at least served more as "official notice"

Posted this last month, definitely an informative set of data

All valid points. Made me actually think about the likely first actions an alien or newborn would take with a 2025 touch screen device. Chomp. Chew. Swipe.

xD

Don't take me argument as one against the point that it was massively popular and influential, en contraire, that's often the common factor in things I tend to dislike: the norm/ the mainstream.

It's mostly subjective when talking UI, and a lot plays in too regarding the lack of competive platforms with different UI's.

Now offering 4 swipe directions!

So now I can finally implement the most god-awful, ugly, cumbersome and unintuitive GUI methodology ever to face a large population of users into my own apps? This abomination that started the whole user-experience decline by making this kind of yuck the gold standard for apps today is finally open source?

Color me yellow.

An earlier version of this story suggested OpenAI had ended medical and legal advice. However the company said "the model behaviour has also not changed." [0]

Hmm is it worth the read? edit: coming from someone who overall was mildly fond of Angels and Demons and would consider that as the bar for worthwhile reading

It's ok guys, I'm on it. I filed a support ticket with Google a couple years ago, and I'm sure they are just busy and will get back to me soon. I am a paid subscriber, after all.

Late on this but thanks I'll check it out

How do you think that works with cops and body cams? I am genuinely asking what you think here. I would guess probably most turn them off but maybe not all do. Why? Because all that stuff is irrelevant in the case the records are checked in the first place.

If you're job is to soft thru evidence for legal process, are you watching the cop take a leak? You only care about rhe specific time frame of the incident in question. In fact you're jurisdiction is only within some narrow time frame so you'd have no business watching anything outside of that.

That's my point.

Actually, perhaps you're onto something there - didn't Rupert's original conjecture specify polyhedron dice? Perhaps symmetry is one of the requirements for the law..

How exactly does an IT outage occur yet not be linked to any "other events?"

Can we really use the phrase "IT outage" as if it's an explaination in and of itself?
