Before release: They took time to perfect their product so they will beat the other folds After release: It’s a first gen

I don’t really think being the first gen is a great excuse

Afaik, the enterprise gemini has data protections so yes they can for those willing to pay enterprise level AI. This is a different case for consumer level AI.

Since it seems to be tied to Gemini settings, I think they were not able to design gemini integration in a way that separates data used by gemini from gmail and photos. Let’s say if google uses your gemini chats for targeted ads, if gemini mentions your emails, that will already be part of the data being tracked for ads. So, maybe just disable gemini chat history.

So this means, i shouldn’t use my old android anymore?

I think the robot problem is more influential to reduction of factory workers due to robots as manufacturing creates more value. For logistics, people love their free shipping and most of the time, companies pay very little to the delivery staff for cost reduction to achieve the free shipping. In this case, robots might actually be more humane for cheaper deliveries than delivery staff in minimum wage. People get their free shipping while no human becomes a sacrifice for that free shipping. If people really want wages and do not want robots to takeover, people should be willing to pay up for delivery fee which will unlikely happen.

Understandable, although I am hoping more people come to lemmy to fill the gaps

You will only feel the pain once you get shadow banned by simply using a VPN. You don’t have the shadow ban yet I guess that’s why you still stay with it.

I actually think I got shadowbanned because I was on an IP that was used by someone who was probably banned and my account got associated.

I’ve installed the News Feed Eradicator extension because I am still too addicted to reddit as I often type it out in the browser URL bar. I might start counting days as if counting nofap.

I think this is more because to them, Google is a foreign entity requiring more regulation just like how the US regulates TikTok and how China regulates US companies.

Isn’t it usually taxed when the company buys a robot? Robots are expensive so the tax is high although it is only upfront. The other taxes that I can see are taxes paid for by the paid crew maintaining the robots (very unlikely that a robot will maintain another robot in today’s time) and taxes paid by the people who buy food through Uber during checkout.

I think it’s OK to have specific instances ban certain stuff especially piracy. Those issues concern legal things and risking a general lemmy instance which is fairly large is not worth it. Those things are better put on a dedicated instance that will be tolerant to legal problems. Same rules don’t have to apply to all lemmy instances, each lemmy instance is better with their own set of rules or identities.

I think what matters is funding and donation, not monthly active users. As long as people keep donating, the servers stay up and stay ad-free. Lemmy can cater to a specific paying user base and thrive from there. More active users that do not donate can be detrimental as the revenue does not scale by user base as it is not ad-driven but donation driven. More users can indeed increase potential donations but it’s not a guarantee.

Lemmy.world is very search engine friendly. If you add lemmy to your search, it will usually surface lemmy world

So, does this mean any actor working with Amazon MGM signed the waiver for AI like Anne Hathaway in Verity? It’s weird though because Amazon could’ve just pursued without the AI and potentially earn more money in future seasons because the Spider-Man BND has shown how much of a money maker the brand is.

That’s why I like the chinese brands because you need thick cables for their ultra fast charging tech. Although the fast charging are a bit proprietary so you have to find legitimate ones online when they do break.

Watched The Bad Guys 2 by Dreamworks. The animation style with the mix of 2D and coloring isn’t that far off from Forgotten Island and it had that “ADHD” vibe. Been liking the recent Dreamworks stuff lately like The Wild Robot and I might watch their next movies on the big screen soon (Forgotten Island is the first DreamWorks movie I watched in the cinema after having only watched the old ones via Cable TV, streaming, and the high seas). Will watch the Bad Guys 1 next week. (I watched Bad Guys 2 first because I am not sure until when it will stay on HBO Max in my country).

Does it move the needle if i chip in just 1?

It’s not really stupid. Even Linux versioning doesn’t mean anything. Linux 6.0 isn’t a bigger change than Linux 5.19. It actually feels more like a corporate thing that it is easier for them to have a consistent versioning increase and consistent release schedule. Major changes don’t need to be tied to a major change in number because, how do you decide what a major and minor change is? Do you need to group up changes and make the user wait so it becomes a new major version? Google also experienced fragmentation with Android in the past and likely wanted to avoid it. Because if you tie up specific stuff to specific browser versions, some people would want to keep a specific major browser version causing fragmentation. You can just dictate a specific end date of a feature support rather than a browser number to avoid fragmentation.
