  • it’s becoming harder to fully turn off or remove.

    They’re going to phase out assistant almost completely, migrating features to gemini. Realistically the privacy of assistant was not better, but gemini uses a fully functional LLM and not a huge if-else-switch statement for standard commands.

    I think they have the upper hand over AI companies as they own the internet and youtube for training purposes.

    But gemini wants to be my friend if I don’t stop it, and it’s creepy and weird.


  • I used basilisk for a short while. Very minimal browser, indeed.

    But it’s chromium, so you do you. I personally favour anything that doesn’t bloat me. Early on I used opera back on a j2me device, there was also a browser with a nice data saving feature, I had access to all cricket news and cricket sport teams because it was heaviliy featured there, there was a squirrel as a logo but it’s all I remember.

    Edit it was ucbrowser











  • AI companies than blog and social-media posts. (Ziff Davis is suing OpenAI for training on its articles without paying a licensing fee.) Researchers at Microsoft have also written publicly about “the importance of high-quality data” and have suggested that textbook-style content may be particularly desirable.

    If they want quality data then, don’t kill them. Secondly, if they want us as gig workers providing content for AI, don’t act surprised when people start feeding gibberish. It’s already happening, llm are hallucinating a whole lot more than the earliest gpt 3 models. That means something, they just haven’t thought about it long enough. If a reasoning model gets stuff wrong 30 to 50% of the time, with peak of 75% bullshit rate, it’s worthless. Killing good journalism for this is so dumb.
