  "said that the AI-driven traffic apocalypse is a nightmare for people who make content online…“If we don’t figure out how to fix this, the internet is going to die,” he said.

  I make content online. I host my own web pages, I create my own content.

  The difference is I don’t do ads and I don’t ask for subscriptions. Like the way it used to be. The internet won’t die, the internet for profit will. I couldn’t care less if AI scrapes my site, it has zero bearing on what I am doing.

  The bigger issue, and the article is touching on it “journalism will die”. That is significant. Because any moron can post nonsense on the internet and have it picked up (also why the internet won’t die). Anyone with money in a different business can pretend to be publishing “news”.

  I think they are right that AI is not going to save media companies, I don’t know who is going to pay journalists, and there are few laws about owning a monopoly on media companies and requiring them to tell the truth.

  I like how everything I read about this uses WhatsApp as a reference. If you are using WhatsApp you already failed and probably don’t care about this, lol.

  In any case it’s time to get GrapheneOS and be done with this shot, but the irony is not lost on me that I will have to get a Google product (pixel) to avoid a Google product (Gemini).

  Yawn. So work with models without guardrail constraints? I am not sure what the point is here.

  Seems like it might be just as easy to read the book they referenced in the prompt and go from there instead of working so hard to break a commercially offered AI guardrails.

  At all the schools my kids went to… Nobody cares. The kids really don’t give a shit what other kids are wearing. In some ways it’s bizarre given that wasn’t the case when I was a kid. But in many ways it’s great. I rarely ever hear of bullying, kids just are themselves.

  Of course thats woke, because they actually speak to the kids and tell them to consider others and will not tolerate intolerance. So I expect schools like this are few and far between.

  LOL.

  So I got curious, and the instances are on a different scale. Where a person gets a hold of the master key and steals ALL the packages. Which is kind of what I was alluding to: it all breaks down once the person who handles the package decides to go rogue.

  Yes it is less frequent and lockers are safer of course.

  Except there are cameras on porches too, so it isn’t like they got away with it, but it doesn’t seem to matter right? In a locker situation who is going to review thefootage, how would you go about that? Couldn’t they put an empty package in there and claim someone else did it anyways?

  Would it matter in this case though? If the person delivering it was going to steal it, they would just tell you it was in the locker anyways right?
