A product you were just talking about pops up in an online ad. How? Advertising algorithms are so good that they may know what you want even before you do. C...
Download Instagram and start talking about dogs and dog food and it will give you posts and ads about dog food. My friend was talking about random stuff like feet and foot fetishes the other day and you wouldn’t believe what was on their feed when they were scrolling.
The whole issue with LLM models right now is that they are notoriously difficult to control. If it were up to Google, every single response would include a reference to some sponsored content - but they can’t do that without completely destroying the usefulness of the output and besmirching the sponsor’s brand.
Of course, as time passes, we’re going to refine this technology, until we have enough control to implement these terrible/profitable ideas. Like any aspect of life under capitalism, we can really only enjoy it while it lasts.
I hope at that point we have enough capable alternatives. Like, hopefully around the time they add ads is also the time when open-source models and apps have caught up again.
Are there any good FOSS podcast players out there? This would be for iOS. If it’s a good enough project I am open to paying for it, the main thing is open source. #podcast#FOSS

Capacity and generation are two different things. Grid operators have capacity markets that ensure peak load can be met, and incude generations assets, demand response, energy efficiency, etc. Batteries absolutely coumt as capacity so long as they are managed to do so.
I’ve updated mine and it’s generally made it better tbh, at least insomuch as now that I have that setting toggled I don’t have to deal with hitting their smart shit.
I just always update it and then reset it, stay at the firmware level but set it up like a new TV and don’t connect it.
factory reset went back to the shitty upgrade version I upgraded to :(. But I will say that I haven’t let it update since that initial terrible upgrade assuming it might get worse. Maybe I should try upgrading it once more and then lock it off if the next version is decent?
> NSA officials told Wyden that not only is the intelligence agency purchasing data on Americans located in the US but that it also bought Americans' Internet metadata.
Oh I’m no fan of the NSA purchasing untold amounts of data about Americans, but seriously how can you blame them for it when the data is readily and legally available for purchase by pretty much anyone? These datasets shouldn’t exist in the first place.
