It's not the phone. The dude got it wrong; his kid linking his phone had nothing to do with it. Tacoma's and Tundra's with Safety Connect have permanent cell phone modems built into the car. They're under the glovebox and require a bypass harness to turn off (if you pull the fuse you lose the right speaker and Bluetooth). Louis Rossman covered it. GM and Toyota sell your data to Lexus Nexus.
hmm ... guess the pricing changes kinda make more sense now ... I mean not really. They should have just cut costs instead of fucking over devs/publishers, but I guess I can see why they attempted it now.
Movies also have an affect at pacifying people. You show people a dystopian film with a hero and people suddenly feel enlightened like they can see though the system. I wrote about this a few years back:
It's just re-branded machine learning .. some of it .. some of it is just a non-machine learning algo .. rebranded
shitty Pajeet coding
I'm a pajeet who makes six figures and writes good software. I'm not sure if your a honkie, slave, wagie or whatever, but I do know you're a worthless piece of shit.
I remember us learning about that in middle school. There have probably been a lot of content in text/pamphlet/book form of the dangers. These models likely have all that input as training data .. and in their attempt to make "new" recipes ... the scoring/word prediction turns those old phrases into content.
It a shining example of the fact that all this generative AI is not, and never will be, smart or intelligent. It kludges shit together that approximates things human have ranked as well worded paragraphs. It's almost always wrong answers only and always.
Grace Hopper invested COBOL, but she hardly made the first compiler. She coined the turn compiler; and she did some amazing things, but there's no reason to inflate her beyond those already big accomplishments.
Robert Williams was big in the era of text adventure games, but let's just admit it: all the Sierra games kinda sucked, and were just a means to sell hint books. The only really good games she wrote were Kings Quest VI and Phantasmagoria (just the first one; second one sucked)
I don't recognize the other names. Some of them may have been important, some exaggerated. I feel like from the few issues I've seen, I can't trust the rest of this list.
Why not just let great people stand on their own? Why is there this bizarre need to elevate the few who excel in something their in-group typically doesn't care about? You don't see "Greatest men of needle-point"
