  • The future of internet liability is uncertain as congress targets Section 230

    I agree. Too many who have no knowledge about how things really work are in control.


    Except in this case, they're backing into the right answer.  Facebook, Twitter, and most others these days are CURATORS, not just platforms that repost and relay other people's opinion.  Curation IS opinion, IS editor.ial content.  They are owners of that, and they've been hiding behind Section 230 to blast their own agendas and opinions while individual users are still on the hook legally and financially for their own posts.  

    That obviously isn't equal treatment under the law.  Section 230 needs to be gutted, or killed.  It's not like corporations don't have a million other avenues of protection for themselves, and where they don't, they have lawyers.  Endless supplies of lawyers.

    Don’t do this.  You’ll be using up so much potable water and adding so much heat to the planet.

  • How to turn on Siri on macOS without sending your Contacts to Apple

    godofbiscuitssfgodofbiscuitssf
    Yeah, asking for permission isn’t automatically triggering a full upload. In fact, in this case it’d be dumb to do it.  Apple wouldn’t want the legal headache or the sync problems.

  • Apple is lying about Apple Intelligence, John Gruber says -- and he's right

    More personalized Siri... Easy to utter, extremely hard to conceive and implement. The biggest drawback of current LLMs is their lack of "context retention". Ask any of the most powerful LLMs they will list that among their limitations. Even in a single session they have difficulty on maintaining an established response pattern in repetitive tasks. A Siri that responds with a different personality everytime is intolerable. Maintaining the context is crucial even for an avatar-level "personality". Apple's refusal of a premature jump lnto the "AI smartphone" bandwagon has certainly serious technical reasons. Remember that Apple has already laid out a very solid foundation with the A18 chip designed specifically to run on-device LLMs, and before that, the Neural Engine. In that sense, the "lack of context" shared by Gruber and the author is even more amazing than that of LLMs.

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.  Apple's lost trust.  It's their job now, to earn it back.

    Technically it’s Gruber’s job to consult his “little birdies” AT LEAST, to get some evidence that Apple was lying.

    The way that you stated it so flatly, I thought you had more evidence than Gruber.  Which is to say, ANY.  

    I’m not saying he’s wrong, but that’s the point: I can’t say he’s wrong any more than you can say he’s right. Not without evidence.
