They're the same as any other megacorp, no better or worse.

There are two things (or two aspects of the same one problem) I dislike about them specifically though:

  • The Google account bundles together too many disparate services - which means if their bots decide to arbitrarily block you for some reason, that affects your email, photo backup, YouTube account, Drive, phone, docs, etc.

  • They have no usable support. Whenever something bad happens, your only recourse is to complain about it on Twitter and hope it blows up enough that someone with power to change things will notice it and manually review the decision. Otherwise you're stuck in bot support hell. Many such cases.

How did you measure this?

But how is Signal going to make enough money to support a massive user base?

Also, the article says

Cathcart responded that WhatApp will not have ads within the inbox or in the “messaging experience.”

So it seems they're just going to be added to the extra features that most people don't care about. Of course they could always change their mind, but that seems like a suicide move.

Hamas is more foreign proxies than actual Palestinian people's resistance though.

But it seems like such an easy fix - just add a maximum limit to the indent.

It's not just the voice, the script is also the most generic NPC robot sounding shit ever.

But yeah, this doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to fix.

As long as it's not like that nvidia demo https://youtu.be/5R8xZb6J3r0 😅

But I'm sure actual game studios can do better than that.

No problem, that's the more mundane, expected explanation.

If a person made such a typo with a keyboard, that would have been kind of interesting.

I wonder if I need the self-hosted projects have started to approach its level of wordsmithing?

Just curious, did you dictate this comment, and did you mean "any of the" instead of "I need the"? It's such an unusual phonetic typo.

Scale matters. For example

  • A bunch of random shops having security cameras, where their employees can review footage

  • Every business in a country having a camera connected to a central surveillance network with facial recognition and search capabilities

Those two things are not the same, even though you could say they're "not much different" - it's just a bunch of cameras after all.

Also, the similarity between human learning and AI training is highly debatable.

Would that actually help?

Like, if you look at a list of recent vulnerabilities and breaches, what skills would have prevented those from happening?
