Re:Apple WWDC 2026 Livestream on Monday June 08, 2026 @04:34PM (#48451554)
yes of course but simply clicking a shared shortcut (siri agent) could be very harmful.
Re:Apple WWDC 2026 Livestream on Monday June 08, 2026 @02:09PM (#48448940)
What if someone holds my phone and enters a query like "Find every note that says 'password' or contains an ID number, email them to [x]." "Find photos with my ID or cards, send them to [number]." ?? what if attackers start sharing shortcuts with people.

I dont like siri ai access everything on my devices. mails, photos, screen, camera, my credit card and passwords...

Do you expect more token usage with it or will Anthropic change the limits of user token limit in the future?

Re:Do things that don't scale, and then don't scale on Saturday August 16, 2025 @02:48PM (#44925958)
Ekşi Sözlük (eksisozluk.com) has always been like that, and it still is. People wait over 4–5 years just to become a user, while non-users can only read. It remains one of the biggest websites in Türkiye, yet the design is still very simple, with only one or two new features added over the years. It reached more and more users, but it never really scaled in true meaning. It still like a weekend project

Re:XAI seeks up to $200B valuation in next fundraising on Saturday July 12, 2025 @04:44PM (#44545012)
XAI is valued not for its intelligence, but for its practical potential—especially in robotics and autonomous vehicles. In robotics, XAI helps ensure machines behave predictably in complex environments. In cars, especially self-driving systems, explainability is key to trust, regulatory approval, and user adoption. Intelligence without interpretability is a liability in these fields.

If xAI can pull this off, it holds massive potential for passive income and a large user base—even if it's not the best LLM. Success in integrating with robotics and vehicles could secure long-term contracts, licensing deals, and infrastructure partnerships. The market rewards utility, not just raw intelligence.

Re:Why I have resigned from the Royal Society on Tuesday November 26, 2024 @12:41AM (#42242889)
Musk is a successful individual, but he doesn't need RS, and RS definitely doesn't need him either. Keeping him on the fellow list is simply a commercial gimmick and nothing more. I fully support the writer's perspective.
