That’s absolutely not the point. I was criticizing the journalism, not technology. 🙄

I was going to calculate how much electricity this would consume and how expensive it would be, but the answer to that is plainly “too much to imagine”.

Purely hypothetically speaking, but, what if someone had their own private Dyson Sphere generating electricity? (Asking for a friend.)

Open settings, and search for"Gemini" from the search bar. That’s the only way I was able to get to anything Gemini related. I turned off it’s access to everything from there, then the last setting was to switch back to assistant which appears to have turned Gemini off, but who knows (hence disabling it’s access to everything anyway).

These instructions are awful. There’s no Gemini listed in my apps, and Settings > Apps doesn’t show it either. But if I search for “Gemini” in settings, THEN it shows up, but doesn’t have access to anything the article says to do.

However, from that screen, I was able to apparently turn off its access to everything, and switch back to assistant, which appears to have turned it off completely, but who knows if it’s still lurking in the background.

The post title is not the same as the article title and doesn’t even make sense. That first comma changes the entire meaning of the sentence to nonsense. Then yanking out whole phrases just makes it worse.

The judge making this determination is an idiot.

The judge hasn’t ruled on the piracy question yet. The only thing that the judge has ruled on is, if you legally own a copy of a book, then you can use it for a variety of purposes, including training an AI.

“But they didn’t own the books!”

Right. That’s the part that’s still going to trial.

Right, and that’s the, “but faces trial over damages for millions of pirated works,” part that’s still up in the air.

How long before weird or dangerous incidents start to happen?

Well…

Except that one. That one was probably being used right. But, [ gestures to everyone else ] y’all might learn something from the video and save yourselves a ton of money in otherwise wasted energy.

Those are definitely not people that ever learned to drive a manual transmission.

Please allow me this opportunity to jump in and complain about the minority, but not insignificant number, of people that don’t seem to be aware that that is even an option (just taking your foot off of the gas/accelerator to slowly decelerate).

Every couple weeks or so I seem to find myself behind someone that’s always either accelerating, or braking, with the brake lights repeatedly flashing on momentarily for no apparent reason. It’s like they realize that they’re going just a little faster than they want, and definitely don’t want to accelerate any more, so the only thing they know to do is hit the brake, instead of just taking their foot off of the accelerator. So they’ve hit the brake and now they’re going too slow, so foot moves off the brake and back to the accelerator. Rinse, lather, repeat.

End rant. Thank you for this opportunity to vent.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Wales tells 404 Media that her husband, Pelkey’s brother-in-law, recoiled when she told him about the idea.

Edited to remove utterly extraneous information that added absolutely nothing of value or clarity to the sentence. This is her husband, the victim was her brother. We already know her husband is the victims brother -in-law. That’s how that works.

You were the one that brought passengers into the conversation.
