Depends which kind of partisan you’re talking to. One kind believes it’s ok to keep them in boxes in a bathroom. The other kind thinks ok to keep them in the trunk of a car or a private server.

Reasonable people want both kinds held accountable.

More likely they didn’t want to set a precedent of prosecuting people for selling state secrets, since they’re all doing it.

Agreed. They’re not even good products without the spying. Bad on top of bad.

TikTok has been faithfully pushing US propaganda for years. Mintpress News put out an article on it. Control of the US servers was handed over to Oracle, who let the State Dept have full control of what to censor.

Given how many times Samsung’s been caught spying on customer mics, and throwing ads into everything with an internet connection, I don’t understand why anyone is still putting wifi credentials into a Samsung device.

We’ve known since Snowden that these people browse private info for fun, and exchange anything spicy they find with each other. But this guy was straight up selling classified info to anyone who would buy it.

I’m shocked they’re letting this guy off with a plea deal. This was so far beyond misuse of systems. This was full on treason.

They’re competing to be the lead idiot.

It’s definitely Reddit attempting more censorship and manipulation of the front page, but I’m still happy the powermods are being fucked.

The social media companies have been burying Gaza news for years now, with both parties in full participation. Who the fuck said there’s been no moderation?

If it were reality, you’d have some recent data. Might as well make projections on computer power use by starting with the ENIAC, and then you can claim computers are consuming more than our current energy output.

LoL. Guess I can just get rid of phone’s processor then, huh?

And again, you link an image from an outdated study. Because the new data shows the use declining, so it wouldn’t help your fear mongering.

Except that’s not at all what they’re doing. Most of the impact studies are already outdated, and the models are shrinking and becoming more efficient.

Used to love Sabine, but the channel’s been taken over by sloppy clickbait.

As usual, Politico’s whitewashing the significant Democrat contributions to the tech censorship regime. This isn’t something you can fix with party politics.

A lot of these studies they list are already years outdated and irrelevant. The models are much more efficient now, and it’s mainly the Musk owned AI data centers that are high pollution. Most of the pollution from the majority of data centers is not from AI, but other use.

The old room-sized ENIAC computers used 150-200 kW of power, and couldn’t do even a fraction of what your smart phone can do. The anti-AI people are taking advantage of most people’s ignorance, intentionally using outdated studies, and implying that the power usage will continue to grow- when in fact it has already shrunk dramatically.

It depends on the surveillance coverage. If it’s widespread enough, they can track you between your departure and arrival locations. You’d also need two more disguises for both entering and exiting.

And of course, if you have a cell phone on you that pings anything, the jig is up.

The study they’re basing the ‘AI slows down programmers’ on forces software engineers to use AI in their workflow, without any previous experience with that workflow.

Well what do you mean with the lifting metaphor?

Many people who use AI are doing it to supplement their workflow. Not replace it entirely, though you wouldn’t know that with all these ragebait articles.

Oh, thank god you made sure to clarify you didn’t. Someone may have gotten confused!

LoL. These damn kids! No one wants to re-invent the wheel anymore! Well, if you’re not duplicating the works of Hipparchus of Nicaea, you’re a lazy good for nothing!

Do you believe that using AI locks you out of doing something any other way again?
