You’re describing very different use cases. Face unlock isn’t AI. It’s just using biometrics to generate a very complex password. It should and can run locally, I wouldn’t trust any provider to actually keep it local though. Everything else you mentioned happens in the cloud. You need a good amount of processing power to generate the necessary output, which happens on server farms. Thats why Bezos is looking into nuclear reactors to feed his farms enough energy.

If you think Musk has your fingerprints because you tweeted about the last restaurant you ate, we clearly have no common sense of reality and should leave the discussion at that

Social media is a privacy concern as well, but this is clearly on another level. I don’t save my biometric data on twitter. I don’t need facebook to live a full life. And as you said, there are anonymous alternatives. There aren’t when you travel. And living without travelling at least a little bit is kind of sad. So the comparison doesn’t fit.

Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.

Useless??? Ever since the pandemic and the need for a robust remote work infrastructure, the amount of cybersecurity related job offers has exploded. And they’re very well paid where I live.

The bikes would still be shipped from india because it’s cheaper. So the OPs question stays the same. Would you be willing to buy a bike that’s 3 times the price because it’s been built locally. Statistics show that most people wouldn’t. So no, most people wouldn’t change their lifestyle to combat climate change. Should they? Obviously, since living a modest life is better than burning alive or drowning. Although in all fairness, people might be more willing to spend money to combat climate change if corpocrats wouldn’t be gobbling up every bit of wealth like fucking ghouls.

I’ve seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.

I’m not okay with people lying, why would that be different for AI?

Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced “Gah-nome”, or Latex “Latech”. Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way

Passkeys are a great option for people that don’t wanna deal with managing their passwords and have some else do it for them. That’s not everyone though, some prefer staying in control, so it should always stay optional.

Well that sarcasm definitely backfired mate. The device I have is a QR Code scanner that works like a phone, with the important distinction that I can do with my actual phone what I damn well please.

Don’t throw in all of europe into one pot. The banks in my country still sell separate PIN machines for 2FA, which work great.

So do I, so it’s worth taking note since ddg ist just a bing frontend

I read on another thread that an admin was emulating a testing environment by blocking CrowdStrike IPs on their firewall for the whole network before each update, with the exception of a couple machines. It’s stupid that he has to do this but hey, his network was unaffected

What’s your field of work? I work in IT and really try to find some day to day use cases where AI might help and I just don’t seem to find any. The odd presentation or maybe a sprint review protocol, but nothing recurring or anything that feels game changing.
