I’ve got a laptop kicking around from 2010 that’s about to get deepseek just because they’re proposing this dumb ass shit. I don’t even use Gen AI.
I’ve got a laptop kicking around from 2010 that’s about to get deepseek just because they’re proposing this dumb ass shit. I don’t even use Gen AI.
I opted out when they first introduced it. So it’s not in use on my phone and never has been. My smart home devices are all older so nothing with Gemini built in. This may be the difference for me. I dunno.
The main smart speaker I use is a Lenovo Smart Display and it hasn’t received updates in years. It’s got physical switches for the mic and camera and my smart home stuff is on a separate network from everything else in my house on purpose.
I think the newest speaker I own is the set of Google home max’s and they don’t even sell those anymore. They’ve been disabled for mic so they’re only for casting to.
This works for me but my home is small and all I’ve really got is some Philips hue lights and a couple of smart blinds. I set up routines early on so I’m not really asking the assistant to do a lot of things using voice controls.
On my phone at work I use it when my hands are occupied, and I use it I’m the car (but my car isn’t equipped for Android Auto etc). So I think for me it’s probably just limited in what it can interact with to the point I don’t notice it much.
So, those AI rules and regulations from the Biden admin order that Trump walked back as soon as he got into office…
Yeah I have udm14.com set as a custom search engine. So I don’t use it for search. It’s usually for things like triggering a camera or timer or similar for stuff at work where I might need to use a tripod, or for routines at home (smart lighting and blinds and the TV for my kid). I’ve been looking into swapping to home assistant but something’s I haven’t found solutions for yet.
They “remind me” every time I use assistant on my phone with an on screen message. But that’s about it and though I find it annoying I don’t feel forced.
I didn’t realize it was a book. Guess I’ll be searching that out.
They also already rolled back Biden admin’s order for AI protections. So they don’t even have the benefit of those. There’s supposedly a Trump admin AI order now in place but it doesn’t have the same scope at all. So Altman and pals may just be SOL. There’s no regulatory body to tell except the courts and China literally doesn’t care about those.
Back during the pandemic, Trump had the postal service send a letter to every single mailbox in America about the COVID relief money, to make sure everyone knew he was “responsible”. It’ll be like that. But email.
Or Instagram. Or Whatsapp.
This was a comment about Apple and Google specifically, not about their app stores or the apps on them created by non-apple/non-google developers. There’s a clear difference.
Lol. I Iove that people think apple isn’t collecting just as much of their data as Google. It’s a stupid assumption and it’s not true but here we are.
This will hit a dead end as soon as Trump sends classified intelligence in an “All Hands” email.
Oh. I see. Sorry. I didn’t understand. Inside the house means the claims are originating directly from users of Tik Tok on the Tik Tok platform. There was an old horror movie about a babysitter getting prank calls about the children in the house being in danger. It turned out the calls were coming from inside the house.
Yes. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyeer3qp12o
It said that unless the government immediately stepped in to assure the video app it would not be punished for violating the looming ban, it would be “forced to go dark on January 19”.<<
Some Tik Tok creators are complaining on the platform that they are being censored, specifically in regards to talking poorly about the Trump administration.
As much as some people harp on Tik Tok being a bastion of non-censorship, it has been proven repeatedly that this is not actually true. They just pick and choose carefully what to censor and when. Most platforms do that. It’s not surprising. It also wouldn’t be surprising for them to not promote or prioritize content with their algorithm that could be seen by the current POTUS as inflammatory because they are attempting to gain favor with him at the moment in exchange for potential political favors in regards to the platform in the future.

This is funny, given one of his first EO’s was to scrap the previous Administration’s AI rules. Scrap the protections but not the sale of the technology because that’s where the money is coming from.
The law stipulates that the POTUS is the person who determines that a platform or app is in violation. Once that happens, an investigation is launched through the AG’s office and applicable agencies. After that the AG’s office makes a determination about whether or not the app/platform is in violation of the law. Once that happens, the platform or app can appeal. But if they lose that appeal then they have a limited time to divest to another entity before their platform is banned and the POTUS can pause not revoke this process for a period of time (to give the app time to divest as is required). So basically Trump now has given Tik Tok a stay of execution so to speak but that doesn’t mean they won’t be forced to shut down or divest.
This was a direct politically planned and intended effect of this push so close to the inauguration, so far as I can tell. It’s politicians doing political stuff.
Right now he looks like the savior (and that’s intentional, both Tik Tok and Trump get something out of that). But in the long term I don’t know that most Tik Tok users are going to remember that Trump bought the app back and to actually remove the law requires an act of Congress. That will take more time than the limited amount that Trump can essentially delay the removal of the app from app stores and American servers.
I honestly think this was a fuck you to Trump from Biden because essentially Biden’s political career is over. Trump is going to do a lot of damage over the next 4 years and do as much as he can to undo any of the progress that has been made. It’s kind of a petty move on Biden’s part, but Trump started this colossal movement against Tik Tok in the first place.

Looks like they may be coming from inside the house.
To try to make him look bad, is my theory.
They have an in. A lot of them are already well established automotive companies who have a headstart on placement of bought politicians, and lobby groups. Tesla’s just happens to be more readily visible just now.
