it is annoying when they do that; i would, however, venture that these glasses probably give people a way of doing things more surreptitiously, even though this article doesn’t explore that

the massive negative number here gives me a lot of hope

yeah but this guy elon musk said on twitter that it’s sus so at this point who knows? /s

Strangely it only tells the truth.

I think we might possibly see a kind of catastrophic event due to this quantity of hustling. The universe was not made for this.

We are about to witness the most unbearable chatbot of all time.

Card & Kreuger has been held up by right wingers for ages as evidence to the contrary but it’s a very bad study

AI can never be good, but it can very much be funny

this headline truly is threatening me with a good time

it’s pretty rich in history as a lot of famous (and not-so-famous) art can be; it tells you a lot about the people living during a period, what they thought about the world, how power worked etc.

this is a very dismissive take on this form of art as a whole, and is the kind which really does help the techbros who think that this kind of work and effort could simple be replaced by machines

the world’s most-used search engine prioritising an AI-generated slop version of a very famous painting is very much “technology news and articles” imo

absolutely no bother at all i was posting from bed too

ah strange, I thought it was just for the above filter - apologies, I guess that’s the ignorance you get if you’ve dropped that $$$.

I can give you the general vibe which is BIG CLAIMS in a presentation followed by every “partner” (Amazon, Google etc.) giving 404 statements that they had nothing to do with this and that it was against their ToS

The piece from noodlejetski: https://lemmy.world/comment/12182781 gives you a previous iteration of this claim

it’s the link above: https://www.404media.co/heres-the-pitch-deck-for-active-listening-ad-targeting/

A bundle of people say they have a paywall but they don’t, they have an AI-bot-wall which can be got around with a free account. I’d recommend it tbh because they are doing very good work.

I pay the yearly subscription to support them as they are very much a rare entity in tech media: independent, reader-supported, and willing to ask difficult questions of tech companies, not fawn over their newest doodads.

You should read the 404 piece, it’s considerably less sensational and doesn’t flat lie in the headline. I hate Big Tech too, but this is very bad framing.
