content moderation is one of the few places i think AI will actually be beneficial, because often times that is not a healthy job for people to do. obviously loss of jobs should be considered, but the fewer people we have to expose to toxic online content the better.

then maybe don’t get so attached to something fully owned and operated by a 3rd party that can change it on a whim. or even kill it completely.

is an RF transmitter in your phone a hard no as well?

privacy matters, but data collection isn’t limited to EVs. Pretty much all new cars collect data whether EV ICE or hybrid.

exactly, data collection is an issue with new cars in general. It’s not a reason to buy a new ICE car instead of a new EV.

this article is about junk filled garages, so clearly not talking about apartment dwellers.

my ford EV has no subscriptions (other than the usual sirius XM and nav subs that all cars have). There is data collection but you are able to opt out.

Also this is more of an issue with new cars in general, not a reason to choose a new ICE vehicle over a new EV.

you don’t even need a garage to charge your EV, just install it on the exterior.

with the used EV tax credit there are good options at ~20k.

edit: why downvotes? the used EV market is bigger every year and if the price is under $25k you get a ~$4k credit.

I didn’t say you can’t run any LLM on your own, but not any LLM will do. The point is they are attached to a specific version of a LLM that is not locally hostable. c.ai wouldn’t interest them any more than chatgpt 5 does.

Markov chain equivalent of a sycophantic yes-man.

not only that, but one that is fully owned and operated by a business that could change it any time they want, or even cease to exist completely.

This isn’t like a game where you could run your own server if you’re a big enough fan. if chatgpt stops existing in its current form that’s it.

yeah. i wonder why they aren’t binging back VHS too. because it objectively sucks compared to what we have now.

it’s FreeVPN.One
