Look into cleaning up your context menu shell extensions: just a single bad one will freeze your context menu exactly how you described it.

Either that or, optimistically, memory manufacturers see a bubble about to burst, and they don't want to be stuck holding excessive manufacturing equipment.

Just realized you're the same person who was doing a weird defense of AI companies generating CSAM and revenge porn the other day... Now you're taking AI's side by Just Asking Questions about nutrition.

Do you actually have an issue with the article, or is this just a knee-jerk defense of the companies?

Research says it's going to cost automotive manufacturers an extra $100-500 to add this on, in pure hardware costs. You can bet that'll get passed to the customer, either in raised prices, extra surveillance, or why not double dip.

AI-generated revenge porn of adults is already sexual abuse. Hopefully you, Iconoclast, agree that such a thing is already reprehensible. Now hopefully you understand why it's bad when it's done to real children.

The AI sphere is full of people who hate consent: Sam Altman the sister rapist, Eli Yudkowsky the serial abuser, Elon Musk who I don't even know where to start, etc. I know you love AI an unhealthy amount, but this is not a hill you have to die on.

It's linked in his public profile.

Finding out about this gives me some extra questions, though.

  • Was this data summarized on enabling this window, or before?
  • Did it use an existing model, or re-use one that someone may have already downloaded for a different feature?
  • Is this activity going anywhere else, like Mozilla's recent "privacy-preserving" advertising?
  • When this does release, what will the default be?

Between this and the Chat Control rollback, Europe has been on a roll with the good choices for a change.

The companies generating this stuff should have been in the crosshairs from the beginning.

You beat me to the punch on slop. I would also like to opt out out of all the ghost bands Spotify assembled so they wouldn't have to pay royalties to artists who joined the site

For us, sure. For the average Joe who doesn't know about the side effects of fingerprinting, not so much.
