I commend you, but it’s a losing battle.

It really grates on me when I read “sike”.

When I was younger and drank more I did this, and it sure helps with hard liquor.

When you’re drunk that big glass of water can be hard to get down, but do it anyway.

Right? Look at Mr. Moneybags over here that can afford toothpaste. I use hand soap as toothpaste and I’m glad to have it.

Supposedly she was an information and IT specialist… Setting the thing up to not broadcast its SSID should have been one of the first things they thought of. But probably she didn’t know it could be done, which again speaks to her overall incompetence.

The process of training the model is arguably similar to a human learning, and if the model just sat on a server doing nothing but knowing, there’d be no problem. Taking that knowledge and selling it to the public en mass is the issue.

This is precisely what copyrights and patents are here to safeguard. Is there already a book like A Song of Ice and Fire? Write something else, maybe better! There’s already a patent for an idea you have? Change and improve upon it and get your own patent!

You see, copyrights and patents are supposed to spur creativity, not hinder it. OpenAI should improve upon its system so that it actually thinks and is creative itself rather than regurgitating copyrighted materials, themes and ideas. Then they wouldn’t have this problem.

OpenAI wants literally all of human knowledge and creativity for free so that they can sell it back to you. And you’re okay-ish with it?

Or a few years early…

This is essentially what OpenAI is asking for. To profit off of the work of unpaid labor.

There are deniers. They’re wrong.

These companies absolutely do use your microphone to listen.

My wife and I have tested this and you can too.

Have a conversation near your phones about purchasing something offbeat. We used a kitchen garbage disposal in our test. Talk about them for a few minutes, about needing to buy one, different brands, etc.

Almost immediately you’ll be served garbage disposal adds.

Me: Man, that’s a pretty nice line of printers you have.

Brother: Thanks!

Me: Hey, you don’t happen to know where I can get a nice sewing machine do you?

Brother: You’re not going to believe this…

Me: Man, that’s a pretty tasty beer.

Coors: Thanks!

Me: Hey, you don’t happen to know where I can get precision ceramics for aerospace and medical applications do you?

Coors: You’re not going to believe this…

Oh I know. Learned that one years ago. Thanks though!

I’m the opposite. I’m a compulsive window and tab closer. I say I regret closing a tab or window about 30% of the time.

Kagi has lenses.

Harris vows to work for the people in the middle of the bell curve.

Why is this not absolute normalcy?

Please try kagi.

Not saying it’s you, but some people that think paying for Search is silly have forgotten how wonderful clean searches with actual answers are.

I totally came to say this. Google has become designed to tarpit you into staying on the site longer. They no longer have the goal of giving you what you want quickly, they want you to see more ads.

Google makes $307/yr. per user. They are strongly motivated to tarpit us. If we want a clean search experience we need to be open to the idea of paying.

As an embedded systems dev that searches a lot of obscure stuff, I use Kagi and love it. Go try its free searches and see for yourself.

If you value your time and mental stability, please do yourself a favor and go see what clean, high quality search results look like on Kagi.

We’re at a point where not only should the Internet be classified as a utility, so should Search.
