Re: more unsafe
All that's going to happen is you change your app store address to outside Montana if it's actually accurate in the first place, download it, then change it back to Montana if you really want to.

There's a CNN article with the same title.
Seems a reasonable summary of Musk's dance with the far right and authoritarianism but doesn't go into the funding.
I like the sentiment but I had to look it up.
Delaware is 43 out of 51 in terms of GDP so you could say everyone ends up poorer when lawyers are involved.
- ML software is rebranded as AI to magically get funding.
- Corporations selling AI claiming they have the best version.
- Nobody knows what "AI" will do or be a decade from now, but businesses are already planning firing thousands over the next decade on the back of that.
Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and NFT ran out of steam but AI is the grift that keeps on giving for snakeoil salespeople, when LLMs end up to be a dead end there'll be another AI thing along after that.
Wasn't there a film about an AI which couldn't get its head around being lied to and went a bit loopy?
In this case with LLMs, they just as easily switch between truth and nonsense and have no concept of either, so how would a LLM be able to defend the party line?
That's a totally different topic to the one of this article, which *repeatedly* suggests that Horizon would solve the things Dyson is critical of.
The article mentions Horizon *once* when talking about UK's ability to compete in science. That's competing in science, not making vacuum cleaners. Dyson seems to confuse the two and talk about innovation when he means he wants to make household goods more cheaply. How much of a non-compete clause do you need if you're making fans or hand dryers? SpaceX he ain't.
It was not a comment about class, it was a comment about his arrogance vs the barely sufficient quality of the products he makes. Also his "investing far more in modern, forward-looking economies elsewhere in the world that encourage growth and innovation" means where workers are cheap as possible working in miserable conditions until a whistleblower lets the cat out of the bag.
It doesn't matter, Clearview still slurped UK and EU citizens' data. They are amassing GDPR breaches and it's difficult for a judge to just throw out a case just because it comes from the UK or an EU country, CCPA is a thing and the comparisons between GDPR and CCPA can easily be made. They also settled with the ACLU which is as good as admitting guilt so why shouldn't they pay up for GDPR breaches?
I was expecting to see something more XP-like or XP-like (again) or even Mac-like, but it doesn't look like anything much.
On a phone it might even make sense if the icon is at the bottom right of the screen (or bottom left if you're left-handed). For desktops it's a terrible idea - the icon is usually at the right of the window so there's no horizontal space for it and many screens are 16:9 so vertical space is limited too. It's like someone at the Guild of UXers had a bet on choosing the worst way of doing things and put it in everybody's desktop software.
Surprised about just one UK entry on the suspicious deaths list, Sky's Once Upon a Time in Londongrad documentary made six episodes out of them all.
Here it is. наслаждаться!
Why am I reminded of Gavin Belson?
There is an article here: https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/09/upwork_chatgpt_problem/ . Can you summarise the article?
According to an article by The Register, online labor markets like Upwork have yet to formulate meaningful policies governing the use of generative AI tools to bid for and perform posted jobs. This lack of clarity is putting these platforms at risk 1.
Recently, the research team at Intuition Machines’ hCaptcha bot detection service set out to test whether workers bidding on jobs posted on Upwork were using generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, to automate the bidding process. They found that this was indeed the case 1.
The hCaptcha report argues that this creates an incentive for those answering job solicitations to automate their side of the bidding process. To test that theory, hCaptcha researchers created a job post with a screening question they designed to take five minutes or less for a domain expert to answer and which they knew would produce an incorrect result when answered by known LLMs. Of the 14 unique bids submitted, nine answered the screening question. Of those, all nine answers were generated by an LLM and all were incorrect 1.
Is there anything else you would like to know?

Looks like we're all being scraped, say nice things about our future AI overlords everyone.
they want our money
They've got it anyway, it seems likely that one of the entry requirements will be if the UK is aware the EU is a political project (as it was in the 70s but somehow forgot by the 90s).
There were five different types of Brexit under the leave campaign (Norway/Switzerland, Turkey, DCFTA, Canada, WTO). How can it be called democracy if what people were voting for wasn't even clearly laid out before the vote? Check out the Fintan O'Toole article linked to above.
Democracy is more than just counting bits of paper in boxes then enacting an extreme version of what was offered based on an extremely close vote. Let's learn from our Republic neighbour a bit about democracy.
A majority is a majority. That is what the referendum was for.
If you can call 37% of the electorate or 26% of the population a majority. In an advisory referendum. Which was then taken to mean the government must enact most extreme form of Brexit apart from leaving without any agreement at all. And Rees Mogg said the country must wait 50 years before deciding if it shat the bed and rolled around in it or not.
But do keep repeating zingers like "A majority is a majority". A small number of credulous people might even believe you.
Not very much more, there's one short RFC which describes Gopher and another shorter one which describes Gopher URIs used in web browsers.
Is it also a bug that most of the settings in privacy opt themselves back in from time to time in Edge? I opted out of all the nonsense on the privacy tab in settings about a month ago and checked this morning to my descombobulation and consternation they're all opted in once again.
The same thing happens in Teams, oddly enough. But once again, only to those toggles which could be considered to be opt-out settings.
I don't think you can dismiss Amstrad PCWs and PCs so lightly when they had two thirds of the UK market and a fifth of the European market in the latter end of the 80s.
Their Hi-Fis were terrible and people actively avoided them, their computers had a reasonable spec at a fraction of the price of other manufacturers. Their PCs also came with both DR-DOS/GEM and MS-DOS/Windows.
They only lost the market when other PC manufacturers finally lowered their prices.
Apple thought it was necessary to update GS/OS all the way up until the Apple II GS's exit from the market so it can't have been that much of a failure. The reason for GS/OS existing was probably because the Commodore 64/128 had GEOS and the Amiga and ST cost about the same as an Apple II GS so it really had to have some kind of GUI to capture hardware sales from people who were looking for a computer with one.
Mozilla said they did get a lot of downloads from the browser choice window and they lost 6-9 million downloads in a "glitch".
