It's a good bellwether. If you connect all these apps and upload your actual medical records to ChatGPT, we know that you are clinically insane.

I would say it shows signs of both. It's a financial bubble built on top of at least a partial scam. And what will be left behind after a possible crash will be more useful than Theranos. Some of this LLM stuff is really useful, e.g. if you're blind or dyslexic or need Alexa to understand you. The image and video generators less so but we will get to use of the stuff that takes advantage of those as well. I think the comparison with the railway pioneers of old is more apt. They built up the network that others profited of and got rich. Until they were blasted out of the sky by airplanes.

... back button hijack is starting to rear its ugly head again.

Are you basing this statement on this alleged case alone? I don't get any of this behavior on this page on Vivaldi. Another person has done more of a deep dive and also came up short.

When reached for comment, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told the Daily Beast in a statement, “It’s sad that Daily Beast interns cannot grasp the concept of pro-growth policies that create jobs. Their minds are clearly warped after cheering on Joe Biden as he wrecked our economy for four years.”

The pettiness is unreal.

Unless you were present at the time, you are in the metaphorical arm chair as well.

I'll take your points under advisement but I'm most certainly done arguing about this.

Let's take a moment to realize that 95% of you hadn't heard of cafe mom as an outlet until just now. And that the article's headline is misleading/tabloidy at best. And while the rest seems well researched, it's clearly misleading a bit. If you start beating a kid on the bus and ask others to join in, it's not a surprise that you get suspended. Yes, she's also the victim of terrible bullying and felt let down by the faculty (who - understandably - may need more than hearsay before they start taking action). You can still not beat people up. Nobody doesn't understand that she did it. And indeed even the police looks at all of this as mitigating circumstances. And she's back in school and on probation and that's hopefully what they do with all kids who start fistfights. The buried headline is that the other kid is under police investigation, which has the potential not only to get him suspended after all but will have even more serious consequences. From what I read here, the system works as well as it can but the story is written to cause outrage.

I understand that victims of bullying like this or sexual assault in general face an uphill battle they never wanted to fight. And with the details in this story I can totally understand why the girl snapped. And I wish her nothing but the best and appropriate punishment for the kids who circulated the images. And still, you can't resort to violence and expect not to be punished for it. We are not talking about self defense here.

The Dutch and Irish levers this writer envisions sound like paper straws to me. It would be in everyone's interest to make Ireland less friendly to the tech giants. But Irish butter is not going to make up the losses if they sour the tech milk. It's also unlikely that The Netherlands would be willing to take one for the team here without a price tag. One whose amount will be shrinking fast as Chinese companies backwards engineer their chip making techniques by hiring former engineers from that company. Don't hold your breath that the EU will get the needle out. The US may have to go it alone.

I'm sure they love you for having that opinion. I only read their stuff when it pops up here. Maybe they also do actual journalism. This piece here is a biased, yet eloquently written retelling of like three moments that happened in a podcast. The news value is hardly detectable.
