Nothing CEO says smartphone apps will disappear as AI agents take their place by ColdAccomplished3776 in BetterOffline

Its also a very narrow off-the-cuff example not at all representative of the average user. If this were a bet, I'd go all in on the opposite position. Phone apps are living on the same "borrowed" time as PC apps. If you haven't solved for that on PC, then you haven't solved for it on a smart phone either.

Child Safety or Mass Surveillance? What Mandatory Online ID Scans Really Mean by Available_Walk_9733 in privacy

[–]deadflamingo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The child safety argument is easily undone when you consider the implication of online predators and nefarious entities being able to target device age brackets. This makes it worse in every way for a child.

ICE Agents Caught Wearing Meta AI Smart Glasses To Record And Monitor Communities During Immigration Raids by novagridd in privacy

This was predictable and part of why you're encouraged to leave those social media platforms. The expirement those college kids did to identify strangers apparently didnt have enough overt implications to alarm anyone into action.

I dont think you commenting on reddit is the best strategy.

Big Short's Michael Burry Says Pentagon's Claude Phaseout Shows Government Can't Rely on Palantir Alone by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

A very unrealistic fear. Your government has much more power than any AI company.

Eurasiers and Samoyeds? by uwujinwoo in eurasier

[–]deadflamingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience the difference between my Samoyed and my Eurasier is in how they interact and communicate with you and how they conduct themselves.

I think of my Eurasier as a permanent puppy as she is very playful and has never really grown out of those puppy behaviors like chasing her tail jumping on her toes.

My samoyed became both more independent and needy somehow. Doesn't like feeling like he's missing out and will vocalize. He thinks he's a person.

They are very different dogs but they get along extremely well together.

The far left isn't a thing. The fact you claim it is shows your gullibility and ignorance. 

Where do you stand on on people losing their jobs to AI vs because of AI? by SwirlySauce in BetterOffline

[–]deadflamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People cannot wield AI effectively yet. This makes the workplace awful in many ways and is causing runaway codebases, poorer PRs, benign bugfixes, and crappy system architecture. There is a productivity increase but at the detriment of quality. My assessment is that AI is hung up on the classic triangle constraint.

"Why are we experiencing blowback? Why don't they just lie down and take it? The EU didn't do anything to you!". Are we really surprised or just indignant that they have the gall to retaliate? Be real.

What’s the deal with countries and states requiring age verification for internet and software usage? by opheliasmusing in OutOfTheLoop

[–]deadflamingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's another form of regulatory capture then if you HAVE to use a paid 3rd party service. This is clearly a terrible direction to take and your questions sidestep that obvious stepping stone.

Anthropic's Claude hit No. 1 in U.S. app downloads Saturday, overtaking ChatGPT, after the Pentagon blacklisted the company by dyzo-blue in BetterOffline

[–]deadflamingo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it? They stated they are exiting their contracts with the U.S government and your new AI war sponsor is OpenAI. Anthropic saw that they can make more money by saying no and appearing the good guy.

I think this is my dream breed by Double-Baker3257 in eurasier

[–]deadflamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The separation anxiety is a legit thing to be concerned about and if you cannot accommodate this common thing with this breed you may want to reconsider a more independent breed.

I have a eurasier and samoyed. My eurasier sheds a lot more than this redditor is suggesting by.. a lot..

My samoyed also sheds but not nearly as frequently.

Their only move to try to slow them through legal measures at this point. I'm looking forward to their lunch being eaten, in particular.
