The fundamental question is, “Do you trust Facebook?” They have the resources to manipulate the story and twist the truth. They have the capability to spy on you with mics, but they say they don’t do so. Do you trust them?

"Meta does not use your phone's microphone for ads and we've been public about this for years," the statement read. "We are reaching out to CMG to get them to clarify that their program is not based on Meta data."
Ah, yes. The tried and true defense of "we've denied it for years and continue to deny it" must be credible coming from a source as trustworthy as Facebook. I hear they're planning on holding a press conference to pinky swear they're not listening to the microphone they demand access to in order to show you ads that make them money.
That phenomenon isn’t exclusive to AI. A societal structure where a minuscule number of people amass all wealth and see themselves as gods is an inherently evil system.
Everything they do and everything they create is a means to increase their wealth and power at the expense of everyone else. At the expense of the planet itself. Regulators, courts, the government, and every other institution become captured vehicles that exist to increase their wealth and power. The people are made poorer and poorer while being distracted by bread and circuses.
The only war is class war.
"So, you said you're auditing the class. Why are you so interested in learning German?"
"Uhh... memes. You can tell they're fire, but I can't read them."
I try not to be that guy, but the song is called The Imperial March, and that name makes it so much funnier historically.
On its face, the idea of the company launching an entire streaming service filled with feel-good stories just to sell chicken is a bit odd. But it feels important to bear in mind that Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family, whose independently managed trust was instrumental in the foundation of Trilith Studios — the Atlanta studio most well known for its frequent work for Marvel.
Chik-fil-A is owned by oligarchs. I guess I’m one of the lucky 10,000 today.
“We’re pivoting from serving peasants to fleecing rich dumbasses that subscribe and pay monthly fees for features built into the car.”
And they’ll make money doing it. Because there will never be a shortage of people with more money than sense.
Don't knock it until you've tried it. I lost 87 pounds in 2 months on the meth and celery diet. The twitching and sores are totally worth it.
“It’s just like how I thought I was an American for all those years, then I remembered my family’s roots and embraced pre-war and during the war Germany. Wrong side lost there. Sad! We will fix!”
Traditional instruction gave the same result as a bleeding edge ChatGPT tutorial bot. Imagine what would happen if a tiny fraction of the billions spent to develop this technology went into funding improved traditional instruction.
Better paid teachers, better resources, studies geared at optimizing traditional instruction, etc.
Move fast and break things was always a stupid goal. Turbocharging it with all this money is killing the tried and true options that actually produce results, while straining the power grid and worsening global warming.
