I sure hope so. I’m tired of the monopoly ISP’s have for internet service.

Heat tracking software? Damn, that’s creepy as hell.

Agreed!

Why is the NY Times tap dancing around this? It. was. a. lie.

I’m Gen X, and I recall similar complaints about us from the Silent and Boomer generation employees as we were coming up. So, it just seems like more of the same, with the added benefit of more awareness of what’s happening.

LoL 🔥

If I read that article correctly, that was up to $10 to book use of the nearest bathroom?? I’m sorry, when nature calls, I can’t see people trying to reserve a time slot, like you would a hair salon.

Associated Press article by HALELUYA HADERO AND DAVID BAUDER Updated 2:35 PM PST, December 27, 2023

"The New York Times is striking back against the threat that artificial intelligence poses to the news industry, filing a federal lawsuit Wednesday against OpenAI and Microsoft seeking to end the practice of using its stories to train chatbots.

The Times says the companies are threatening its livelihood by effectively stealing billions of dollars worth of work by its journalists, in some cases spitting out Times’ material verbatim to people who seek answers from generative artificial intelligence like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The newspaper’s lawsuit was filed in federal court in Manhattan and follows what appears to be a breakdown in talks between the newspaper and the two companies, which began in April.

The media has already been pummeled by a migration of readers to online platforms. While many publications — most notably the Times — have successfully carved out a digital space, the rapid development of AI threatens to significantly upend the publishing industry.

Web traffic is an important component of the paper’s advertising revenue and helps drive subscriptions to its online site. But the outputs from AI chatbots divert that traffic away from the paper and other copyright holders, the Times says, making it less likely that users will visit the original source for the information."

I like CX File Explorer too. And I appreciate that there are no ads! I wish the dev would make dark mode available though.

I sure am. Are you?

ok 🙂

I didn’t know it was showing that. I’ll check my settings, and adjust. Thank you for letting me know.

Agreed!

This tactic seems short-sighted to me. It will force migrate people to firefox.

“Beyond Google Messages, there are other messaging clients that use RCS”.

I was surprised to see this statement, and I’d like know which ‘other clients’ are being referred to here. Anybody know?

It sounds more like an AI-generated statement
