Have you heard of companies like Palantir and Anduril?

You said no to interstellar and that’s what I’m responding to

Why? Do you genuinely believe we won’t solve some kind of suspended animation / cryonics in the next 10000 years, to be able to sleep as your ship takes 300 years to go to another star?

I get what you are saying but I’m seeing this from a different perspective.

The first statement is saying “there is nothing you can do”. You shouldn’t care about your privacy, you shouldn’t try to be careful, you shouldn’t fight for yourself. The government is all powerful and you should accept your fate. That’s why I don’t like these sweeping absolute statements. They promote giving up.

The other is “this is hard, but it’s possible to win”. And sure, you probably won’t win if the government is specifically targeting you and sending agents with rubber hoses against you. But in all likelihood they aren’t. And there are many things you can do to prevent actual passive surveillance affecting you.

So “any phone” turned into “virtually any phone”, and the owner needs to be alive and apprehended, and then they “most likely” can, maybe.

See, I mostly agree with what you said. But you can see how we have moved the goalpost away from “there is no phone the government cannot get into”, to “the government can get into most phones”, which is quite a different statement.

Not long at all, that’s missing the point.

The point is that someone will want to fix something about their car, get stopped by these screws that they don’t own a screwdriver for, and will have to make a decision: wait a week for the screwdriver from aliexpress, with no guarantee they will actually get their car fixed once it arrives, or… just take the car to the authorized service and get it fixed now. And they have the thing on Saturday and their car needs to work, and…

Some will buy the screwdriver, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that many people won’t, and that’s extra profit for BMW.

Is this an advertisement? Sure, yes. The government can get into any phone? No.

That would sure be nice, unfortunately the UK has the common problem of being able to either vote for the bad option or the worse option, neither of which is what most people want, they only disagree about which one is the worse one.

Well, not everyone knew how to crack a game, but many did know how to use an existing crack for a game

All these comments are missing the goal here was to learn how to use that AI tool, which obviously not using the AI tool would not accomplish.

Yes the entire thing is idiotic, but it’s disingenuous to say he could have used an alarm instead. No, using an alarm would not achieve the goal of learning how the AI tool works by giving it a simple task.

A much more laughable fact is that the guy couldn’t even write his post without an LLM doing it for him.

I don’t think it’s surprising the lists differ a lot.

• Living there - will be more about the governments beliefs, and the law
• Travel - will be more about what everyday people think and treat others

These are often very different, on any issue.

Because it’s a list about safety, not about beliefs. Regardless of what “the country says”, you are not in any danger if you disagree. And outside of that issue, it’s a very welcoming country for LGBT folks (yes, including T, despite what the government may say).

Especially since it’s in the context of travel, so citizen rights are less relevant as they don’t apply to you anyway, and it’s much more relevant how you are going to be treated as a tourist, as you choose from the several LGBT friendly pubs down the road.

And that’s still hyper focusing on one issue, totally ignoring the list also concerns safety for women and people of color, which can bring you up on the list.

Scott Manley has a video on this company and flew it himself, he was quite impressed.

A laymen won’t be able to point Firefox at their local LLM installation that they don’t have, to be able to have any impression.

Did you try reading the article? Because they clearly answer your question.

The controls allow you to block all future AI features as well, so you will never see new AI stuff.

You know there are no states in the UK? Unless you think this UK article about easing travel to China for British citizens is somehow targeted at some other country that has states.

You need some reading comprehension. The title is referring to a recent sentiment shift which has become very apparent with many people in the media and YouTube bringing it up. Obviously the the vast majority of Windows users don’t hate it, that’s not how the word “everyone” is being used here.

Probably depends on the store, but the 2 times I bought a laptop in my life, both stores had a No OS option in the drop-down, which brought the price down. (One actually came with no OS, the other came with FreeDOS IIRC for some reason)

Why do you assume it’s a bad thing? It’s no more a bad thing than asking about your previous job is a bad thing.

You renovated your house? Cool, so you are a resourceful person, maybe you can also be asked what did you learn while doing it. When I ask that question people often speak about their hobbies, or side hustles, or learning, or family obligations, it’s almost always something positive about the candidate or their character.

Some of you live in some dystopia, I swear.
