Why bother when there is so little time left?

That implies that having data be harvested for companies to make profits should be the default.

I sure hope those studies are not being done by for profit companies!

They are tied to the pole, not holding it.

Send me your name, birthdate, web browsing history, online spending history, real time location, and a list of people you know and I will explain it to you.

An individual not tipping has no impact on the status quo because the system doesn’t care about the reason people don’t tip.

A large number of people choosing not to purchase goods and services from businesses that rely on tipping could possibly have an impact, although it would probably be easier to get the laws changed than organize that many people.

They are not wearing the rope or pole any more than they are wearing the platform they are standing on.

I disagree with the base premise that being opt out needs to be a right. That implies that having data be harvested for companies to make profits should be the default.

We should have the right to not have our data harvested by default. Requiring companies to have an opt in process with no coercion or other methods of making people feel obligated to opt in is our right.

No, it would be called complying with the system that exists.

If someone is not even attempting to getting the law that allows their core income to come from tips changed that makes one complicit and therefore obligated to tip.

If you are fine with server’s primary income coming from tips then you are obligated to tip.

So do houses!

They are basically investors in the housing market when their money makes its own money without their direct involvement.

I am reminded of this term about once a year and then promptly forget because it never comes up except in internet memes.

There is a change. Instead of people engaging with the shitty data harvesting voluntarily due to being unaware it is being forced on everyone including those who are aware.

I can guarantee all the ‘opt out’ choices are lies and they are harvesting the data anyway.

Shorts sre awesome, way better than pants unless it is cold out or I am doing something that would scratch up my legs.

Oh, you mean the youtube shit. It is the worst of that video format and they all suck.

They do!

The mind isn’t empty, it is running a mile a minute which is why I’m starting at the wall I need to hang the shelf on as I consider all the options and related times I’ve hung a shelf and maybe I need to to laundry but also a ton of other stuff that isn’t related in any way.

Don’t worry, I won’t remember any of it hours later when I give up and do something else.

This doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens way too often.

unless they bother other

Well, that’s the thing. So many people are bothered when someone does something they wouldn’t personally do, often because they were told their whole life that there is only one proper way to exist.

“…unless they are harming someone else.” though, that is a pretty solid criteria.

“AI design is inherently defective and will never work correctly.”

Guess we need to jam it into more things!

LLMs are the culmination of the work done on search engines to find words and phrases relation to other words. Even the ones that aren’t “chatbots”, use similar methodology to try and get you what you’re looking for. That’s what propelled Google to the top of search.

Then why is LLM output worse than google from 10+ years ago? 10+ years ago I could type pretty much anything I thought of into google and get results that matched what I was looking for. LLMs just vomit up something that looks like it could be what I’m looking for, but isn’t.

Millionaire covers everyone from having a million or two due to home equity all the way to 999 million because they just haven’t hit a billion yet. Someone who can drop a million dollars or more and still be a millionaire has multiple millions.

Equating the two is “not all millionaires”.
