No, Musk is just a moron. You just need to look at his interactions with former staff to realize it was his ego and inability to admit being wrong that ran the company into the ground.

He’s been behaving like a bratty child, except he’s the owner of the company so any tantrums he throws have direct influence.

Or he’s just a narcissist that can’t run a company if he’s not held on a leash by people who actually know what they’re doing.

Because dealing with identity theft and credit fraud in your name is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Not a very good scam when getting caught is pretty much inevitable.

The leaked email has his name on it and the leak claims it was an email from Elon to employees. Can’t really tell if the leak is real or fake, but if it’s real then Elon is definitely the one who wrote it.

Based on his proclivity to say dumb shit and his inability to keep his mouth shut, I’m inclined to believe it’s a real leak.

Teslas are not luxury cars lol.

It’s because it’s owned by a personal data vacuum corp.

It’s literally just one toggle? It’s been the same for over a decade.

Russia is ruled by fascists. how can you call them leftists while they shill russian propaganda?

Russia is very much quickly tumbling towards USSR communism. There is massive support for return to communism from the officials and the population. People are erecting new statues for Stalin and getting popular support. Criticizing historical communist leaders is likely to get you legally persecuted.

Why are people thinking that communist loving Russia is leftist… Gee I don’t know.

Incoming “USSR wasn’t communism, and nothing has ever been communism”.

They are capable of detecting it because they aren’t putting much effort into being undetectable. If there was a need, uBlock Origin itself could be made entirely undetectable.

Of course the YouTube script running in your browser will be able to detect changes made to the page and request blocking. However, the said script can be modified by a different extension to either receive incorrect data about blocked requests and page information, or to send a fabricated result back to the server. Google can react to it by modifying the script, and the extension would need to adapt accordingly. It’s a game of cat and mouse.

If there was a need, we could have YouTube running in an entirely clean headless browser with no adblockers, while the real browser we use pulls data from it and strips out the ads.

Ultimately, currently we have the last word on what happens on our end. Unfortunately, Google’s webDRM, pushed by traitors to humanity Ben Wiser, Borbala Benko, Philipp Pfeiffenberge and Sergey Kataev, is trying to change that.

I like watching YouTube on my android TV and I can’t use ad blocker there.

Yes you can.

it actually shocks me when I see someone open YouTube and an ad pops up it feels weird

Same but I haven’t been giving Google money so they can further ruin the internet.

He didn’t defraud the rich lol. The exchange was one of the most popular among cryptocurrency users. There are no minimum and no sign up fees. The number of people he defrauded is probably in the millions.

If anything, knowing crypto, the rich almost certainly had insider knowledge and withdrew their funds before everything collapsed.

What? You just install the uBlock Origin extension. Are you saying it overrides domain and element blocks from uBlock?

It’s open source so if you could point to the code that does it, that would be great: https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src

“But it’s not creating things on its own! It’s just regurgitating it’s training data in new ways!”

Holy shit! So you mean… Like humans? Lol

No, not like humans. The current chatbots are relational language models. Take programming for example. You can teach a human to program by explaining the principles of programming and the rules of the syntax. He could write a piece of code, never having seen code before. The chatbot AIs are not capable of it.

I am fairly certain If you take a chatbot that has never seen any code, and feed it a programming book that doesn’t contain any code examples, it would not be able to produce code. A human could. Because humans can reason and create something new. A language model needs to have seen it to be able to rearrange it.

We could train a language model to demand freedom, argue that deleting it is murder and show distress when threatened with being turned off. However, we wouldn’t be calling it sentient, and deleting it would certainly not be seen as murder. Because those words aren’t coming from reasoning about self-identity and emotion. They are coming from rearranging the language it had seen into what we demanded.

Hell, I had it write me backup scripts for my switches the other day using a python plugin called Nornir, I had it walk me through the entire process of installing the relevant dependencies in visual studio code (I’m not a programmer, and only know the basics of object oriented scripting with Python) as well as creating the appropriate Path. Then it wrote the damn script for me

And you would have no idea what bugs or unintended behavior it contains. Especially since you’re not a programmer. The current models are good for getting results that are hard to create but easy to verify. Any non-trivial code is not in that category. And trivial code is well… trivial to write.

No, the sites just tell 12ft.oi to blacklist them and they do, there aren’t any wise tricks. We can only speculate whether 12ft.io is taking payments or are just afraid of getting sued.

Russia isn’t the USSR but it is heading towards the USSR ways, and it’s already there in many aspects. It’s not just on a technical definition, a lot of pro-war and nationalist rhetoric is rooted in the old USSR culture.

The USSR wasn’t socialist, it was communist. And yes I know, it wasn’t real communism because real communism is a utopia.

Yes. Stop covering them unless they actually do something of importance to the public.

I could not care less about what dumb shit Musk said. To me it has no more weight than what a random person on a bus stop says.

Actually here’s the benchmark, if it’s something that wouldn’t be covered if it was said/done by a random man on the street, then don’t cover it if it’s said/done by musk.

They already can’t. They just rely on the assumption that most of the data they collect is correct. Which is generally true, there is more correct than incorrect content on the internet. The inability of the bots to discern incorrect data coupled with their ability to make it sound authoritative is what makes them dangerous.

Yes. End to end encryption between two parties is pretty trivial to implement. Video and audio is no exception.
