I had an iPad tell me I didn't have permission to delete a photo that I took with the iPad. Somehow I didn't own the picture I took of my own dog.

Large LLM model?

Tastes better. Probiotic, so can be healthier. Risk is very low of contamination, low enough that the mandate for pasteurized milk was kinda overblown, but technically safer.

I find the posturing the funniest. Conservatives trying to act tough by drinking raw milk is hilariously tame. It's like being proud of not wearing sun screen when mowing the lawn. Like, that's arguably fine either way, but sunscreen is a little safer but...why would you brag about that?

Agreed. It gives results that appear promising, and if they were correct all the time it would be amazing... But it's not, though sometimes it is.

I have one I was messing with that would scan through a document and answer questions about it with sources cited from the document. I feel like that's the best path to trusting the output.

Also, I think game questions are best suited to asking solutions to linear quests that have a defined answer. I asked it about a good Destiny build, and it answered but what it gave me was a pretty basic build that doesn't work the best in the current meta, but I kinda knew it couldn't give me a good answer there.

Because it's not always totally correct, you can't trust it. Investors are shown examples where it is correct and incorrectly extrapolate the trend.

"Ai" is largely a gimmick. It can be an impressive gimmick at times, but the failure rate and misses are too common to really trust. I'm an enthusiast, so I have been dabbling a lot with what it can do, and theoretically there are some really cool applications - but we're not there yet. I've got Gemini on my phone, and yeah... I can talk to it about things, but like... Why? The most useful thing I've done with it so far is ask it specific game information like, "hey, I'm in x level and I see a chest. I can't see a way to get it right now, is it something I can come back and get later? Or do I have to figure it out now?". And it can answer that.

Saves me from having to look up an ad riddled guide, but that's not a killer feature. Integration with aps could be huge, where it can actually do whatever task for you, or automate something tedious, but that's still not super common. I'd rather personally and directly control anything vaguely important.

It's really a solution looking for a problem.

My guess is the DCIM mount is for things like photo kiosks designed to plug any photo device in to print pictures. It would kinda suck to have a smartphone that couldn't talk to such a system, but a modern one could easily get around that now, and digital cameras are far less prevalent.

As for mounting it as mass storage, usually there is a notification you tap into that gives you options. Most of the time it defaults to charge only and you have to opt in to full storage access to prevent plugging in to some random "charging station" and have it copy data to or from your phone.

This is why so much research has been going into AI lately. The trend is already to not read articles or source material and base opinions off click bait headlines, so naturally relying on AI summaries and search results will soon come next. People will start to assume any generated response from a 'trusted search ai' is true, so there is a ton of value in getting an AI to give truthful and correct responses all of the time, and then be able to edit certain responses to inject whatever truth you want. Then you effectively control what truth is, and be able to selectively edit public opinion by manipulating what people are told is true. Right now we're also being trained that AI may make things up and not be totally accurate- which gives those running the services a plausible excuse if caught manipulating responses.

I am not looking forward to arguing facts with people citing AI responses as their source for truth. I already know if I present source material contradicting them, they lack the ability to actually read and absorb the material.

Lol AI generated teeth

I heard a coworker talk about how the CEO was going to testify against Nancy Peloci and they were old family friends or some convoluted story. So there's that one floating around.

That's why all the AI are trained on six fingered people- it's Inigo still looking for his father's killer. It's like some kinda terminator spinoff.

This is a fantastic opportunity to allow parents to explain financial insolvency to their autistic child grieving the loss of their robot companion.
