I am a cornucopia of near relevant facts.

No one: Not a soul: Nice try, but not even them: Sam Altman: What if we replace everyday conversations between parents and children, the very threads that tie a family together, with synthetic podcasts?

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

FIFAs «bevis» for at ballen ikke traff en wire i Norge - England kampen er basert på en sensor (IMU) som måler akselerasjon og rotasjon for å bestemme ballens bevegelse - du har en slik sensor i telefonen din. Dataene tolkes av en KI-modell. 🧵

What is the technology and infrastructure set-up?
The IMU sensor is lightweight and rechargeable via induction, ensuring that it does not affect the ball’s performance or balance. The system integrates with 16 dedicated tracking cameras mounted inside the stadium , which monitor both the ball and the players, collecting up to 29 data points per player 50 times per second. Artificial intelligence processes this combined data to generate automated alerts for the VARs, with the final decision always being made by the referee.

“You have to give up your privacy & anonymity online because there’s just nothing we can do about the open web getting bait-and-switched into an unregulated global social experiment that gamifies the worst behaviors of humanity for the profit of two billionaire freaks” is just not a great pitch.

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.
