excuse me WHAT is this meme format

Thank you for coming over from Threads and teaching us a valuable lesson.

lololol no, you’re right, voters should absolutely represent our politicians and not the other way around. Please reply with the same meme again if you agree.

This is a great point. There are some people who just will never vote for a candidate if they feel that the person supports genocide, even if it means their livelihood will be impacted! I guess we should factor those voters in when we select candidates. Would hate to lose again!

Correct. You cannot use TC and a VPN at the same time.

do you have any more pics from this shoot

1. Check out Tracker Control https://trackercontrol.org/

2. You might want to take another look at “I don’t care about cookies.” IIUC in a lot of cases it auto-accepts. If you want a tool to auto-reject, try Consent-o-matic

Ah this makes sense. Thank you!!

What they’re talking about here is something very different, something which can continue processing inputs all of the time. It would be ‘aware’ of (depending on what you give it access to) emails coming in, what you’re working on in other programs, calendar events, etc. The idea is that it could potentially interrupt you with suggestions, maybe even anticipate what you will want and do it for you.

I really thought that was the pitch for these already-existing agents.

Isn’t that exactly what’s described in this story from 2 months ago, where an AI agent executes a series of tasks that end up in this Meta exec getting her email deleted? That sounds way more complicated than “draft a letter to my congressman.” She even writes “I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb” implying that she was away from her desk. So what’s the difference between this already-existing tech and the new “persistent assistant” that can work when the user is idle?

Links?

The weirdest part to me: this comes after the EU determined that Apple’s locked store is too restrictive, and Apple agreed to allow 3rd party stores. Why the hell would Android go in the opposite direction? Will this put them in violation of the same EU regulation?

So for Paramount Plus, guess we have to write in on… Trump letterhead?

AFAIK this is the only evidence: a claim by a marketing company that they’re actually doing it. However, they have some reason to lie about this, bc it makes them sound all-knowing and powerful to their clients.

Thank you for this! I was not familiar with all these shortcomings when I shared that study. I will not share it in the future.
