Yeah, there are way too many people here nitpicking about whether it’s functioning as an auto-complete. That is entirely inconsequential to the fact that its results were deceptive - not incorrect or vague or “not actually AI” - and were structured to mislead the authority.

It’s a likely intractable problem because you can’t just give a stronger system prompt or remove deceptive techniques from training data, when it’s specifically contradicting the prompt and the training data is the Internet. That’s the real problem here.

Yes, not really better at all. These donations are all symbols, not meaningful except as a show of obeisance. So we should interpret it along the same symbolic parameters.

It’s being framed as a personal donation because Cook is acquiescing to Trump’s pending authoritarian takeover, but wants plausible deniability that that imputes to Apple. But since Tim Cook is the one acquiescing and he leads Apple, it’s indistinguishable from the same thing. It carries the same message: Apple won’t get in your way, do what you will.

Alas, RFK incoming - we will get to see how low these numbers actually can go, once we have aggressive anti-vax policy from the top-down.

The simplest explanation is they literally can’t change, they’ve built this level of callousness into their DNA. It’s useful confirmation that for-profit health insurance is beyond saving.

I’m pretty sure he has zero doubts that he knows what’s best for the world, and no moral qualms about using his money to buy power. So, yes, I think taking over the world (in his mind, “saving” the world) is probably where this is going.

Unless this is an indication that they don’t intend to fight, and instead will be tiptoeing around any criticism of Trump.

Gosh, you mean when he blocked the Kamala endorsement, it wasn’t a one-off gesture to maintain neutral independence?

Logan Paul edition… Just wow.

Yeah, it would fit the meme format better if the second panel were revised: “No, it’s only the healthcare system that is flawed.”

Why are they mad, I didn’t even vote in that election!

Sorry, do you mean a link to a Roku TV? Assuming you mean a link to Projectivity, here’s a link:

You can scroll to the bottom - basically you should just be able to enable installation from third party sources in your Google TV android options, and install the APK. I don’t have Google TV, but worked fine on Android TV. I forget if you have to fiddle with any other settings to get it to boot into Projectivity, or if you just change the launcher app in settings.

No way, that is so smart. I’ll have to look for a guide.

But I need to restore my health, not my mana!

Yeah, this is the answer. My wife does a lot of arduino/pi stuff so this is on our to-do list, but we just can’t find the time (building in cushion for inevitable network and setup troubleshooting).

Note about the second bullet: Not all TCL TVs are Google TV, which can be switched to Protectivity - Roku TVs at this point, as far as I know, cannot disable ads if connected to the Internet.

I don’t plan to start nursing a conspiracy theory, but my first reaction was that keeping the gun, a written manifesto, and eating at a McDonald’s when there’s a manhunt for him doesn’t add up with him having a complex escape plan and being so aware of leaving evidence that he left a backpack with Monopoly money. He could have evaded capture if he just laid low for a month and he’d be practically forgotten by the general public.

I agree, but seeing someone committing that crime for personal retribution and/or as a symbolic gesture in this literally crippling, nightmarish private health insurance hell, all I can muster is, “This is perfectly normal in this moment.” This rant isn’t specifically directed at you, but just to elaborate:

He probably is a very nice person when you talk to him, and he is probably a caring husband and father. He probably has complex ways of resolving the cognitive dissonance between who he felt he was and what UHC is doing. But it’s hard to deny he was in a position with decision-making power to make millions of lives substantially better or worse, to enable or disable the worst excesses of private insurance, and the buck stops there if anywhere. This chart has made the rounds including on Lemmy, showing a 32% denial rate for claims, which is astounding.

Frankly, we all have had so many moments with health insurance where we’re basically told they cannot help us, given arcane and pretextual reasons, and given a silent ultimatum of “you want us to honor our agreement? Make us.” Then we waste so many unpaid hours of our dwindling or nonexistent free time creating paperwork pointing out the obvious injustice, and eventually they may honor a claim without admitting fault or changing their practice. Mostly they probably just ignore us and we go away, or respond with the same Kafka-esque administrative slop until we can’t eat any more. It was built that way, and who but the CEO is responsible?

This is not a situation entirely created by him, but most of us are collectively cooking on a stove and none of us have access to the controls. He did, and he turned up the temperature. Not at all surprising, and it’s very hard to have sympathy for him. I have plenty of sympathy for his kids.

Are all women in Afghanistan covered as lawful refugees in most countries? It’s clear that they aren’t going to stop until they are kept as breeding stock who physically can’t leave the house.

I generally just picture the masses of WWII vets alive looking at Americans through the eras, disappearing little by little, and as soon as the last one disappears America just collectively goes, “Why were we against fascism again? Can’t remember. Ohwell, can’t imagine it was that important.”

Trump’s team has regarded the FBI background check process with contempt for months, a product of their deep distrust of the bureau ever since officials turned over transition records to the Russia investigation during the first Trump presidency, the people said.

Investigate me for colluding with a foreign power once, shame on you. Investigate me twice for colluding with a foreign power…

But delaying FBI vetting could also bring ancillary PR benefits for the Trump team if some political appointees run into problems during a background check, which could upend their Senate confirmation process, or if they struggle to obtain security clearances once in the White House.

This is the actual answer, if somewhat buried. After they’re in place, any blowback will be after-the-fact and treated as “oh well” by the media and public.

“The Trump-Vance transition lawyers continue to constructively engage with the Biden-Harris administration lawyers regarding all agreements contemplated by the Presidential Transition Act. We will update you once a decision is made,” Trump spokesperson Brian Hughes said in a statement.

Let me guess, the decision is coming in two weeks?
