Honestly, the worst part of the AI craze is that so many people hear AI now and immediately hate it even though it can really do some amazing stuff, e.g. in medicine. AI as a blanket term just has so much variance, there's a ton of trash and a ton of great stuff.

One thing I don't get is that e.g. I have Revolut installed, I use it regularly, Google knows this yet still half or a quarter of my ads for months now has still been Revolut. Why??

Who decides stuff like this? Who's like "hmm, yeah a group of owls is definitely a parliament"

I mean if you make a gmail account just for your Google account, you'll either have to log into your Gmail account to check emails or miss potential important emails related to your account, which you would get if they were sent to your main email.

How are you gonna slash their budget if you add so many requirements and remove benefits? By default that will mean there will be less interest in being a cop, which means you'll have to offer a quite substantial increase in pay to compensate. And in most places there already is a shortage of cops.

Well I personally need my laptop for collage as well. And it comes in handy if it has a powerful GPU if I need to do anything more intensive on it (e.g. machine learning or game dev). Steam Deck wouldn't really be adequate there. And even if it wasn't for my usecase (which isn't representative of every student), most students will probably still need a laptop to bring with themselves sometimes to collage, and if they also want to game, makes sense to buy a gaming laptop instead of a gaming PC + a regular laptop.

When I get a job and settle down, I definitely plan on getting a PC. It just has so much more bang for the buck, and you can actually use the entire performance. My laptop basically overheats immediately if there's an intense load on it, even though it has the raw power to actually run it. But the reality is that currently, as a student, a gaming laptop is a lot more practical to me.

For students a gaming laptop makes a bunch of sense, since taking a PC with you back an forth every time you go back home can be a major hassle.

To add to that, apart from the Apple cloud processing, data can be sent to OpenAI if a prompt is deemed too complex, but even then you're asked whether or not you want it to talk to OpenAI's servers each time, and apparently OpenAI isn't allowed to store any of that data, tho idk how much I'd trust that part.

They also claim that whenever data is sent off device, only the data directly relevant to the prompt is sent.

I just... I... what goes through this man's head? Why is literally every sentence he spews completed bullshit? And why do so many people fall for it?
