Steps forward are few and far between these days, I’ll take what I can get.

That’s not an experience I’m willing to pay for in its current form. But I could definitely see a path for it to become one, thanks for putting it on my radar.

I’m okay except for the walled garden part. I get referred to articles in many ways, none of them in Apple News. If I can ever log into the actual publications sites with my Apple ID and get the article, then I’m on.

Yeah that’s what I used for the first 6 months to try it out.

I used Kagi for a few months when other engines failed. It did come through a few times. But paying $5 a month to get one extra good search result per month was a hard sell for me. If they offered a much much smaller package of lime 20-50 searches per month or just pay as you go, I’d definitely be in.

I’d say their decision making was mostly forced by their drop in ad revenue and subscriptions forced by the internet.

Though I do wish that someone would make a Spotify for news so that I could pay once and get access to all of them and at least give them 10 cents per article or something, because I will never pay the subscription cost any are asking.

As much as I’d like to support them, the price to utility ratio is way the fuck off at the prices they ask now.

You want to save your PR points for the genocide, y’know?

This is definitely part of the issue, not sure why people are downvoting this. That’s also why tests like this are important, to illustrate that thinking in the way we know it isn’t happening in these models.

There are a lot of people out there that think LLM’s are somehow reasoning. Even reasoning models aren’t really doing it. It important to do demonstrations like this in the hopes that the general public will understand the limitations of this tech.

Exactly. The only way is to block it and then choose something on your device whenever you want to show them something, and never let them use it without you choosing the content. The algorithm will always lead them to the darkest bowels of garbage content in my experience.

Yeah I mean if a parent was always curing the content, it could be useful. But to me that’s the same as not letting them have it, you just put on some YouTube videos every so often for them that you choose on your device (we do this now, I just don’t allow it on their devices).

In the time I allowed my kids to have YT kids, I did not encounter the content you speak of. I know there’s good content on YouTube, I watch it all the time. But I never saw anything good come up in the YouTube kids app. And we had it for a while.

That’s why I’ve blocked YouTube on all my kids devices. It’s just a pipeline of pure garbage content for kids.

5. Immediate halt of all military aid to Israel and breaking of the humanitarian aid blockade to Gaza

Oh wow I didn’t realize that settings export included communities. That’s great.

Shiiiit. What’s the easiest way to migrate all my communities quickly???

The image search in Google Photos is so useful that I almost don’t feel like an idiot for giving Google access to my photos.

Interesting, I didn’t find this info. Gonna go research now.

Does all this even matter after the courts overturned the tariffs?

Read the post. I said paying people to do it should be illegal. I don’t say organizing should be illegal.
