Good, now do it for the rest of them, from linkd-in to facebook.

I just wish they wouldn't stop with tik tok. Facebook, twitter and all the rest present the same danger.

This is the dumbest take I have ever seen. I guess spreading disinformation that gets people killed is comedy now.

Not a good idea, Alex Jones is a big reason for the hate against people like Anthony Fauci.

You ask these like they are some kind of gotcha moment, but all of these very simple questions have been answered for decades by international law. You think yourself clever but show yourself ignorant.

When you say you are tired of bureaucracy, what you are saying is that you are sick of listening to the voices of your fellow citizens. I would change the language so as to not slander the bureaucracy or the people who work there, who are usually just good citizens trying their best.
It's a good idea though, overall I think. Eventually you could do more than the public sector, the private sector has some terrible processes to navigate as well.

Corrupt, that is how US regulators look, and everyone knows it. But this is the website that is spawning far right fascists who are advocating for political violence in the bay area, so I don't think you will get a lot of reasonable takes here.

no it isnt the same, you may know I went to my health care provider's website, maybe even to make an appointment depending on the url, but with recall, everything that is on the page will be stored, not just the url. It's totally different. So the message I sent my healthcare provider that is discussing some of my most sensitive medical issues will be available to read and a record is kept of it... not just the url. Do you not see the difference?

Re:Two Years Later, Generative AI Is Not Even Trustworthy or Mainstream

It is still far too unreliable for serious work in which the task requires you to wear adult pants, unless that task is hyper specific and fairly simple, like say, photoshop's spot removal tool. This has been true since gpt2 and is unlikely to ever be resolved using current training methods.. something that has also been known among serious people since gpt2.
What is attempting to drive this adoption is the unending pressure for quarterly returns. The irrational demand for ever increasing profits will last longer than any set of company ethics or oversight.

It would be nice to have an image that does not include the super sus AI and web3 "features". So far as I can tell people are clamoring to get away from that stuff and by all accounts the amount of people using these tools when given the option is extremely small (around 2%), and these apps are going to turn more people away from this project than towards it.

What azure needs is a sanboxed, free dev environment that one can actually learn in. That's the biggest first hurdle, and generally one that just makes people say fuck it and go elsewhere.
