I think their concern is less about being AI made and more of the fact they don't want their business to be treated like someone's automatic money-making machine as if they were a graphic card abused by a crypto miner, most AI enthusiasts are pretty much the same as a crypto miner.

We all know how that went for people that wanted a graphic card for real jobs or play games but couldn't because someone hoarded them all to mine crypto and ended up being thrown away all wasted and useless after the market crashed and the hoarder probably committed unalive after losing all their money.

The problem just moved to somewhere else.

Yeah and it's shit. Go to news.google.com.au and all you get is the Murdoch press and right wing aligned shit. Used to get a good range of smaller outlets.

They should stop hosting media outlets that support this view, showing a snippet and byline shouldn't be a copyright issue and be deemed fair use.

If media outlets don't want to have their content appear in search results they should update their robots.txt

Not disagreeing since I know nothing about this topic, but there is a link in the article goes to this article which contains a bit more info

> Apple is taking a different approach, using a chip technology known as silicon photonics and a measurement process called optical absorption spectroscopy. The system uses lasers to emit specific wavelengths of light into an area below the skin where there is interstitial fluid — substances that leak out of capillaries — that can be absorbed by glucose. The light is then reflected back to the sensor in a way that indicates the concentration of glucose. An algorithm then determines a person’s blood glucose level.

> The company believes the technology is viable but needs to be shrunk down to a more practical size.... Engineers are working to develop a prototype device about the size of an iPhone that can be strapped to a person’s bicep. That would be a significant reduction from an early version of the system that sat atop a table.
