@susankayequinn@wandering.shop Perhaps I misunderstood - there ordinarily wouldn't be anything to stop AI companies purchasing physical books, which is what this form implies, so adding that as an opt-out is good. The other tickbox seemed to be an opt-in for allowing AI digital access. Or have I read the form wrong?

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop Ah, good. I keep waiting for them to drop the ball and start enabling AI generation of book covers (which seemed to be hinted at a while ago), as though artists shouldn't matter to writers.

@aphyr@woof.group @mozilla@mastodon.social I got so sick of the AI bleed-in that I've now switched to waterfox on all my devices.

@TrickTim@mstdn.social @wikihow@mastodon.social I think he's washing (judging by the 'rotation' icon at the top left). How to scrub your face!

@adhd_coffee Gmail has a setting that lets you 'undo' sending - it just doesn't send for a bit - but that's only useful if you realise/come down within 10 seconds of pressing send.

@OliviaVespera@spacey.space @Curator@mastodon.art I agree, they should say piss off. Won't stop me from using Blender, because this doesn't mean the Blender foundation *advocates* Anthropic - they do need money after all (and part of me says just take the effing money and run!)

@Bara_Coded@bara.gallery I'd forgotten about Korra - not seen it yet, either.

@Bara_Coded@bara.gallery Other than the awful movie, it was my first exposure to it. Now I have to go back and watch the animated series.

Replying to @nicolas17@social.treehouse.systems

@nicolas17@social.treehouse.systems @mhoye@cosocial.ca @owen@mastodon.transneptune.net Yeah, but there are people who think there are still ways to actually *implement* them.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca @owen@mastodon.transneptune.net And this is just predictive text on steriods. Think how impossible it will be to control true AI. Asimov's Laws are not codeable.

@mattymedlyn I just can't get over how they're more expensive than the OLED i7 laptop I bought in 2020!

Replying to @mattymedlyn@gaygeek.social

@mattymedlyn I wanted a folding phone, but my husband convinced me that a new sub-£300 would be good enough to do what I want. He was right, thankfully.

@mattymedlyn I never have this problem. Because I refuse to touch AI with a fucken barge pole.

@ienvision@mastodon.social @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org Except for the fact that they promote AI features and simply sit on top of Bing. The irony. I did email them to compain about the two-facedness of that.

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com The solution of the past was to write efficient code that fit into non-expandable hardware. Sadly, everyone is lazy now.
