Not really, everyone who uses generative AI is either aware and doesn’t care or doesn’t care to be aware.

Stay away from me and my Prego Traditional chug jug.

LinkedIn generated $15.7 billion revenue in 2023, an increase of 7.4% year-on-year

Basically, Goodrazi got touchy when asked about his organization’s efforts to neutralize government-spearheaded free tax filing programs. He hit back that Patel’s question — the editor said that Intuit is “legendary for lobbying against free direct federal e-filing” and then straightforwardly asked how much of their budget is allocated towards lobbying efforts — was “fundamentally” based in the “wrong premise” and was “inaccurate,” before declaring that Intuit doesn’t “lobby against free.”

Chat, is this real?

I don’t think the main goal is to actually help people. Most likely PR/brand awareness and tax write offs.

Money

Can’t wait to see what job they are turning into a gig next.

Careful with your phrasing, sounds like a dog whistle for antisemitism. I would phrase it: The USA is destroying what is left of it’s reputation to maintain a stronghold in the Middle East by allowing the IDF to commit various war crimes while colonizing Gaza and the West Bank. This is helped by AIPAC (Israel PAC) lobbying (legally bribing) US politicians with a lot of money.

I do agree that this Tiktok ban is more for content censure than protecting Americans. If they wanted to protect people, they would create hard data collection and selling regulation, then ban Tiktok if they violated it. I would like to see the data Facebook collects next to the data Tiktok collects.

That would be so unsanitary. I would hope they have a glove supply nearby.

I have seen the engineering failure that is the cybertruck, no thanks.

I am drunk AF, but yeah. If people don’t have the decency to understand ecology, fuck em. They are living in their own world which does not reflect reality. If they choose to deny every logical point you present, that is on them.

Oh no! Big tech company bought out my barely functioning, small, energy inefficient AI business! Whatever will I do with these wads of cash!

Mfr ate a mushroom now I have to pay fucking taxes.

Oh cool! Now the govt can create data collection regulations and ban TikTok if an investigation shows they are in violation of those laws! Oh yeah, I forgot it is just foreign adversaries potentially collecting US data that is the problem. Thank goodness they are strong arming TikTok into selling itself to a pre-existing media company instead!

From the article, the data collection hinges on a bot going into a public server then scraping the history. Still a problem that Discord should act on, but it looks like there is no need to worry about private servers.

Which forces Tiktok to sell or be banned, correct? The issue I see is: why not just create regulation for the root problems instead of just focusing on that app? The only reason I can see, is that their priorities do not lay with protecting people, but forcing a foreign business to sell it’s IP to strictly American companies. Wether that decision has to do with the intentional or unintentional promotion of the US’s direct involvement in the genocide in Gaza or just Big social media companies lobbying for the removal of a competitor, we can only speculate. Both sides are doing their best to push this bill, when have the ®s collectively banded together to create positive change? The point being, reading the bill is cool and all, but you do have to ask, “Why target a specific company instead of the alleged problems of foreign adversaries getting their hands on our data?” If we had hard data collection and selling regulations, it would not only allow them to ban predatory apps (foreign or domestic) but also ensure sensitive data cannot even reach our enemy’s hands.
