Fuck that, ban tik tok even harder

>It would not surprise me if the powers that be in government have gotten in cahoots with the powers that be in industry

This is just now occurring to you?

I agree actually.

Anything you catch Meta doing, it’s safe to assume tik tok is doing in a worse way.

Ironically Apple present themselves as the heroes of privacy, but are actually allowing Tik Tok to do thing it won’t allow Facebook to do, just because they are Facebook as a competitor

Been trying to find more on this as well, and every article is the same. No claims that they did this to real users, no explanations on what they would be testing or why they'd be testing it live. Just some vague quotes to stir up drama and get clicks, then get a ton of engagement from people commenting "I knew it was killing my battery!"

It is literally stated in the LA Times article: > This follows 2022’s bloodbath, when tens of thousands of jobs were lost at Meta Platforms, Twitter and Salesforce. According to an industry layoff tracker, the tech sector has eliminated some 220,000 jobs since the start of last year. If the laid-off tech workers formed a city, it’d be one of the most populous in the United States, bigger than Des Moines or Salt Lake City.

There is also the coming commercial real estate crisis that’s looming.

Wow you’re such an idiot. Pressed a button? You think Artificial intelligence isn’t an extremely difficult, expensive and bleeding edge technology?

You have no idea how much expertise, investment, time, manpower, etc goes into developing something like CHATGPT. If it was so easy there would be thousands of AI chatbots all over the place and nobody would care about ChatGPT.

Also any data it’s accessed on the web was posted there publicly. Anyone can easily protect their data by using something as simple captcha (that requires human intervention) or a login.

Creating a software that can learn, chat normally, and solve issues for people (such as debugging code) is HARD. It’s bleeding edge tech. It’s also extremely expensive to support as the servers it uses for all its processing, storage, bandwidth, etc don’t come cheap. ChatGPT is costing them tens of millions if not more to run and currently no one has to pay anything to use it.

Everyone already understands that when you get to use an internet service for free it’s because you’re the product instead (your data = the value paid). No one is forcing you to use it.

Phillips actually had a huge recall of a sleep apnea product that could have killed people…. Major fuck up, not another case of a tech laying people off despite being highly profitable.

I'm in social media marketing and do a lot of business analytics for tik tok, meta, and Google. I can say what I can harness from each platform for free is horrifyingly accurate and specific. If I pay for ads it'll be even more specific. I can tell my Google ad to Target single women with car lease coming to end, mean income of 50-70k, with 2 children, in (zip code) who likes off roading.

It's scary

They really should just tag staffers in on this one.

Is this the same guy that lied before congress last time?

Nothing is a phone with no apps other than an essential core. If you want anything added to the phone, after purchase, that's on you, not the manufacturer who might be selling someone else's OS.

The reason the first one wasn't released in the US, other than beta testing, is because US carriers require the OS to integrate features specific to each carrier--certainly nothing to do with tracking and harvesting information.

Ok sure - however it’s more appropriate to say companies are reacting to a slower economy / lower demand than a recession

We likely will enter a recession though that remains to be seen

Pop is great, especially with their hardware. Got a tower from them and was impressed.

Full jobs, no. But if could cut your workload in half, meaning you need less people to do the same job. It could write product reviews, performance reviews, job listings, real estate listings, etc.

Nearly half of 2022's GDP gains were from increased inventories- stuff is getting produced, but not sold. It's a very strong leading indicator for an upcoming recession among many others.

Everyone else: "So why does everyone including you think all of your management and business ideas are? Because you had one good idea and got lucky with the time and funding?"

Too bad much of the science and especially math is currently garbage. It answers simple questions incorrectly and contradicts itself even if you point out it’s error. For other things like coding it’s quite good at least in my limited understanding of coding.
