You don't think it's possible that offloading thought to AI could make you worse at thinking? Has been the case with technology in the past, such as calculators making us worse at math (in our heads or on paper), but this time the thing you're losing practice in is... thought. This technology is different because it's aiming to automate thought itself.

This whole thing has been a mess. Thousands of Aussies had to buy new phones due to them using a phone allowlist instead of a blocklist (arguably they should have just let the phones stop working instead of blocking them outright). The allowlist they used was missing hundreds of 4G capable phones and was missing just about every overseas model of phone. I know 2 people whose phones were blocked for no reason.

Tourists coming to Australia are finding their phones blocked here, preventing them from using their phones in Australia.

000 calls are borked for thousands of Aussies as well.

We are one of the only countries in the world to turn off 3G. And we're certainly the only one to fuck it up this badly. I'm convinced the big telcos only did this to drive phone sales (many of which will be bought/leased on exploitative plans), because god knows there's no other compelling reason to shut 3G off.

What a joke.

This is different (and far less practical than Apple's approach). This one doesn't download the OS and store it, it pulls the files from Google drive every time they're accessed, so it's incredibly slow by comparison, but is technically running from the cloud. The Apple one downloads everything it needs and stores it, then pulls from that local copy.

It's more of a satire of them but sure.

Being fooled by Twitter users is worse as they can link to reputable sources (that usually wouldn't post clickbait/bad headings). There's also little incentive for twitter users to not post misleading headlines, while (some) journalists/news sites are trying to build a reputation of reputability. Yes, it would be solved by clicking the article, but you shouldn't have to click every article to make sure the poster isn't lying about the content.

Idk why he couldn't have just created a new @ equivalent for his X accounts or whatever he's doing. A $ sign would work, or a +, -, *, !, anything really. If he's trying to make these be the "official" accounts then they don't need to use the same @ symbol.

They're not going to give up their control willingly, hence the killing them part.

I wonder how much of this is fulfilment of old orders (prior to Musk ruining his public image). It'd be interesting to see a chart of the amount of orders they're getting rather than cars they're shipping.

How is this not a bigger story? What the fuck?? This is cataclysmic. It should be all we're fucking hearing about. Fuck.
