AI bot capable of insider trading and lying, say researchers
  • I don’t know why ppl cannot figure this out. What we are calling “AI” is just a machine putting words together based on what it has “seen” in its training data. It has no intelligence and has no intent. It just groups words together.

    It’s like going into a library and asking the librarian to be a doctor. They can tell you what the books in the library say about the subject (and might even make up some things based on what they saw in a few episodes of House), but they cannot actual do the work of a doctor.

    Of all the ideas to get workers back in the office, TikTok's employee surveillance is the worst
  • 💯 I used to work for a company that sold a product literally for this purpose.

    During Covid, and all the hybrid working that came from it, we pitched it as a way to conduct contact-tracing and to monitor how many of your employees are in the office at one time, what floors they are on, what offices they are using…we even had an app that would track your movements throughout the office (for your safety, of course)

    Amazon faces potential break-up as FTC finalizes antitrust lawsuit | The FTC is getting ready for the big one
  • This wouldn’t be about small businesses accessing Amazon’s market - although the original point was that Amazon is becoming a monopoly and is taking advantage of that position with ridiculously high fees and commissions. This will be new regulations created and forced on every business (or ones that grow to a certain size).

    Amazon will say, “don’t break the company up, we welcome increased regulations to keep us honest” acting like that is a good compromise that solves the problem.

    The intent of the regs will be to stop Amazon from gaining an even bigger monopoly, but the affect will actually be smaller businesses will not be able to manage the increased red tape and change of laws (whereas Amazon has an army of lawyers to find loopholes, and waste time in the courts and not change a thing).

    This will stop small business growth and eliminate Amazon’s competition, further cementing the monopoly.

  • They will settle for increased regulation, knowing their army of lawyers will be able to manage it all while the little guy will get snowed under.

    So we’ll see even more small businesses fail while Amazon will continue to grow because the gov’t was lobbied into killing the competition.

    After a week of blocking every porn sub I see I’m feeling defeated
  • It needs to be easier to block those communities.

    I hate having to tap into a community in order to block it. If I don’t wanna see that shit, I definitely don’t want to have to see MORE of it in order to block it.

    We should be able to long press on a post or community name from the main feed, and be able to block the community from that popup menu.

    Zooming in on images issue
  • Would also like to increase the zoom amount, too. Apollo has the ability to double tap and hold and then slide up or down to zoom in and out. That was pretty sweet (but I realize it’s still early days for Memmy. No pressure)
