There’s a 5th type - those of us who understand that the technology itself isn’t a scam and has valid uses (even if many “AI” startups actually are scams), but think there isn’t that much potential left with current methods due to the extreme amount of data and energy required (which seems to be supported by some research lately, but only time will tell).

Literally never happened before, but same way they know a credit charge is fraudulent, I tell them.

The reason I brought this up is because I read a story of a European guy who had someone pay for something in Brazil using his card, through GPay. He didn’t get his money back, as the bank didn’t believe him (as GPay is supposed to be secure). Take this with a grain of salt though, as I can’t find this story now.

Also if someone found a 0-day in GPay I wouldn’t be the only one complaining of fraudulent charges, they’d be flooded with complaints.

Not necessarily. Maybe a company like Pegasus is already exploiting a 0-day to see the purchase history of people, but they’re smart enough to not attract attention by stealing.

You know that if someone skims your card and makes a fraudulent purchase, you will likely be able to get your money back, right?

What do you think will happen if someone exploits a 0-day in GPay to do this? How could your bank know the purchase was fraudulent? At least with a card it is obvious that this can happen.

If you care about “secure” payments that much, why not use cash?

Read the article, Sam Altman literally tweeted “im-a-good-gpt2-chatbot” the day before these chatbots started appearing.

This is so dumb, they’re hyping up a new version of their chatbot like it’s a video game.

I don’t get why this comment is so unpopular.

• You made baseless claims:

when Gnome changed to Gnome Shell Linux marketshare clearly declined. That Linux has begun to rise again, is definitely not because of Gnome Shell but more despite of it.

I’m assuming you don’t actually have data on this or you’d share it.

• You keep insulting Gnome developers. You say you love how developers can do their own thing and then call the Gnome team arrogant for doing just that, in the very next sentence. They don’t have to accept criticism, they don’t have to accept contributions (think about this logically, would you want your favorite project to accept any criticism and any contributions?).
• You say they hurt the ability to run Gnome apps on other desktops with Gnome 3, but both from research and personal experience I can’t figure out what you mean (I use and have used Gnome 3 apps outside of Gnome), and you don’t give any examples (despite your comment being pretty long).

This happened 13 years ago at this point, and with all that “immense harm” desktop Linux is more popular than ever.

I don’t use Gnome, and it really wouldn’t matter much to me if the project ceased operations tomorrow (as long as stuff like GTK is still around), but remember that normal people like you and me work on that project, people who are passionate about making a free system to benefit everyone; and you’re calling their work “extremely harmful” when the worst thing they did was radically change the UX.

Who would’ve thought an evil company would mistreat its employees. They literally work for a corporation whose main business involves violating your human rights, if they really care they wouldn’t have worked there in the first place.

This is an article about a dumb argument between two random people, not to mention the title is misleading anyway (the Rivian driver only assumes cops were called). Why post it here?

Yeah, that’s why the comment you initially replied to cast doubt on whether the chats are actually E2E encrypted.

E2E encryption means only the sender and recipient should be able to access a message.

I read the article… amending a law doesn’t make the problem go away.

Maybe if more attention was given to the politicians talking about this half a decade ago (instead of focusing on AOC, which honestly realized this issue way too late), something more meaningful could have been done.

It’s too late at this point IMO, you can make AI generated porn on your PC… How exactly are they going to stop it?
