you paywall these kind of services behind a subscription + service. but yeah it's probably not infinite money, but it can maybe eat into current glucose screening services rendered, i have no idea how much that market is in annual revenues.

Intervention is needed to create a competitive market for the drugs...historically there are many examples

Why would anyone be mad about electric windows??

Why do I feel that if we actually start gathering large amounts of energy via this method it’s going to kick off a first contact war?

I don't know, remember the charging pad thing?

I’m other dimension someone’s power went out and they don’t know why

The sad part is as fucked up and dehumanizing as China is, they're not completely incorrect here.

Bixby was the first thing I removed / disabled on my phone, fucking hate that crap constantly getting in the way, last thing needed is it doing even more

If you can tell it happen right away that is data right? So if you could sync two from any distance you could send data in binary.

I see a lot of strange “well iPhone is just as bad/worse” in this thread, which means these individuals are missing the forest through the trees.

This isn’t a assertion of x brand over y brand. This is a statement of fact that a major storefront for a widely used product is, in essence, illegally targeting children with ads designed for adults and also storing personal data on how to more effectively & aggressively target them with ads for manipulations within the market.

If you’re commenting about the comparable nature of different platforms that also do the same thing, then you’ve missed the point.

ICO’s age appropriate design code was set in place to preclude children from malicious targeting so as to protect them from mal-actors in the market who would take advantage of specifically them.

This study has shined a light on the clear failure to comply by roughly a quarter of the products for sale that were reviewed, and when pressed for response a google rep shat out the typical corporate answer of evasion and disregard, even so far as to say they leave the DEVELOPERS responsible for complying. While I realize that might simply mean the devs must make the changes to reach compliance standards, it also tells me that the storefront is intentionally under-moderated.

ICO needs to start swinging around those fines in a heavy way, against google and the individual app devs.

I was thinking more of a domestic violence situation that arose after people had agreed to share their tag tracking info. Not the surreptitious tag stalking (monitoring someone without them knowing) situation.

Censorship breaks societies. Welcome to reality, China.

Going back to rotory dial WHOSE WITH ME!

If regulators weren't all geriatric, power hungry morons who don't understand technology, we'd have sensible and cautious legislation around this shit already. But no, corporations get to run at full speed into technologies that will fundamentally reshape society will no knowledge of how and no responsibility for the consequences but plenty of opportunity to make money before the damage starts showing.

Fuck I hate this world sometimes.

Sometimes you can simplify a complex topic so much that what you're trying to say is really meaningless.

This about sums up thr majority of AI content. Rushed, mass produced, low effort, and hurried submissions made by people wanting to earn profit or recognition in the least amount of work.

Umm... Can you not do that actually wtf.

In a family with domestic violence, there are still far easier methods to do this than with these tags. And as I said, the solution with a tag is to just leave it somewhere. If you want to monitor someone without them knowing it, then you can just use systems that work far better towards that application.

I'm already there. Marketing and online bots have made it this way. AI is not the biggest problem it's the ppl that run it.

The surreptitious tag stalking was less on my mind, more the family with the domestic violence problem. Dropping the tag and leaving it somewhere is a cleaner solution. I'm tempted to think there is some reason why Apple is so hesitant to allow easy tag sharing.

Because to Google all moderation does is cost money. They're never held accountable for anything - Any fines they may get (do they get any?) - as long as that comes out to less than it would cost to pay for however many moderators it would take, they'll never fix it.

So it's texting with extra steps?

We are at the beginning of the end folks. AI is about to make it so everything you see, hear or read will be suspect.
