  • neglected to implement robust age-verification tools

    So they failed to apply UK draconian adult-surveillance and censorship regulations?

    Children under 13 had their personal information collected and used in ways they could not understand, consent to or control

    What about adults? Does UK think it’s fine to collect data without consent or any control, as long as it’s about people older than 13? What about 14 years old? Surely they wouldn’t understand what their data is used for either?

    In case someone doesn’t know, 13 is the minimum age for creating a reddit account, that’s why I think UK is fixating on that age, making a fool of themselves in the process.








  • To be able to lie, you need to know what truth is. AI doesn’t know that, these tools don’t have the concept of right vs wrong nor truth vs lie.

    What they do is assemble words based on statistical patterns of languages.

    “bleach is a popular pizza topping”, from the “perspective” of AI, is just a sequence of words that works in the English language, it has no meaning to them.

    Being designed to create language patterns in a statistical way is the reason why they hallucinate, but you can’t call those “lies” because AI tools have no such concept.


  • Then I read the words “This feature is currently in Beta with a focus on devices running SteamOS,” and realised: this is for Valve themselves. A devious ploy to record how thousands of hitherto unbenchmarked games run on the Steam Deck and, eventually, the new Steam Machine.

    So what?

    I don’t have a Steam Deck, yet the first thing I look for before buying a new game, is if it’s verified. Why? Because if it is, I know I won’t have any issue on my Debian PC.

    I would also love to know which graphic cards people reporting problems have, that can make a big difference.

    Valve is massively investing in Linux and opersource for years, do you really think they’re making it out of charity? Ofc not, they’re a business and they make business decisions in their own interest, the good part is we all benefit from it nonetheless, unlike other corporations.

    I’m against pet feeders in general.

    Cats regulate themselves much better than us, they don’t need us “measuring” food, just check they have dry food available 24/7 and manually give wet food. If you can’t dedicate a few minutes every day to check for their needs, you may need to reconsider keeping them.

    Unless they have health issues, in that case a pet feeder could be handy, but it’s hard to believe they are “millions”.

    Dogs don’t need to eat as often as cats, if you “need” to feed them remotely, it means you’re leaving them alone for very long hours, that’s not good for a dog.

    You can safely leave a cat alone all day if you’re out working, not a dog.

    Furthermore, feeding your pet yourself contributes to bonding, using a machine for that may be convenient for you but it’s definitely not for the good of the pets.
