It is mental that a man worth billions in mostly electric car companyv shares is courting people who would run their cars on coal if they could.

Yeah, because when you do the Israel lobby crawls out and calls them a Jew hating Nazi.
Probably did her a favour not letting her back.
Not seen such a prominent figure of hate since Cat Bin Lady.
In fairness, Firefox is also paid for by Google.
Who is "you guys" and when did this arming and training happen?
Not because I doubt it happened, but because it's happened enough times with enough people that you need to be specific...
It is, and it's not just the search engines to blame.
The content out there is incredibly spammy. It doesn't pay to create good content. It pays to make a pool of AI gunge based on what people search for and then stick ads on it.
Actual paper here.

It is not sending full screenshots as anybody technical would already have guessed. It's a few KB over an hour, so it's content recognition hashes.
Opt out anyway. Their study shows the opt out option does indeed opt you out of it.
Generative AI steals art.
Procreate's customers are artists.
Stands to reason you don't piss your customer base off.
And the system doesn't know either.
For me this is the major issue. A human is capable of saying "I don't know". LLMs don't seem able to.
I'm talking a town of 35,000-40,000 people. There is not a single dedicated new physical media shop here. The most we have is the rack in the supermarkets. It all went online to Amazon, etc, and now it doesn't look like it has long there either.
And while that old media will last a decent while, it doesn't last forever. The discs degrade, and fairly soon compared to CDs. Like 25 years or so.
And if nobody is making discs any more, the drives won't be far behind. It's full of moving parts, so stock up on them. It happened to floppy discs, it'll happen to optical discs too.
The smaller towns like mine feel the effects first. It'll trickle up.
Game went that way, eventually being taken over by the used section, and now all we have left locally is CEX, which is used only. Most of the prices are about the same as buying new from Amazon. Anything really cheap is often the same stuff in subscription services.
Game still exists, but it's tucked away at the back of Sports Direct shops in out of town shopping centres, and their main products appear to be plushies and funko pops.
It is dying, and I'm not convinced it can be saved at this point. Who has a CD player any more? DVD players have gone from a £30 box that everyone had to something stuffed in the attic and the apps are built into the TV. A 4K BR player is still £150+ even for a cheap one. You don't even get Dolby Vision at that price point. I don't expect the next generation of consoles to have disc drives at all.
Physical media is on life support, and it won't be long before they pull the plug completely.
Too late now, pal. You've all poisoned the well and now you have to drink it too.
