moon , to technology in Apple seems to have persuaded OpenAI to work for exposure

Apple just had the negotiator of the year right there, or OpenAI is really that bad.

It’s especially bad knowing that I’m this setup, all of OpenAI is replaceable in Apple’s code by changing a single line of code and pointing to a different API.

My guess is that Apple is just able to show OpenAI how good they are at upselling other 3rd party apps into paid subscriptions.

I bet the bargaining chip is, “you can sell GPT Plus, but we won’t take a 15 to 30% App Store cut if you let us send requests to GPT 4 when the dumber Apple LLMs don’t cut it.”

It will be interesting to see the upgrade numbers in a year. Do most people not care about AI, or will the user base be wary? Current numbers show around 77% uptake on iOS 17.

My hot take is that the new iMessage features will push adoption rates really high. People in my household want the beta for that reason alone, and I’m having to bat them away because this is a buggy DB1.

A version is Siri that isn’t shit is also a big reason. But that is not coming until 18.1 or 2. So my money is on text effects and stupid emoji reactions being the initial upgrade driver.

LainTrain , to technology in Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again

It’s time to move away. Anyone know how to download the metadata of a playlist? That’s the only thing keeping me subbed.

d3m0nr4v3r ,

Yes there are several solutions, just search for Spotify Playlist Backup/Export. There are free services as well as GitHub projects. You of course have to link your account with the free service.

Andromxda , to technology in Slack has been scanning your messages to train its AI models

Stay away from proprietary crap like Discord, Slack, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. There are enough FOSS alternatives out there:

  • You just want to message a friend/family member?
  • You need strong privacy/security/anonymity?
    • SimpleX
    • Session
    • Briar
    • I can’t really tell you which one is the best, since I never used any of these (except for Session) for an extended period of time. Briar seems to be the best for anonymity, because it routes everything through the Tor network. SimpleX allows you to host your own node, which is pretty cool.
  • You want to host an online chatroom/community?
  • You need to message your team at work?
  • You want a Zoom alternative?
Hobo , to technology in Slack has been scanning your messages to train its AI models

Anyone aware if they are also getting data from their slack for government offering? I was looking at the govslack site and I can’t tell one way or the other. While they claim to meet most of the big compliance regs I don’t see anything about training AI being included/excluded.

I know that stealing trade secrets is a concern but seems like stealing state secrets might have some other implications. I know you’re not supposed to talk on slack about any classified info, but that doesn’t mean that sensitive info isn’t shared which also has some rather profound implications as well.

Hmm. Water is wet? Who knew?

wick , to news in X now treats the term cisgender as a slur

Wow that’s unbelievable. As in I literally don’t believe it. So I tested it by posting various sentences containing these words and other known slurs to compare, and found it didn’t work.

Maybe this is some American thing I’m not Free enough to experience in my corner of the world, or it doesn’t do this on android or the browser site. (The tech crunch screenshot looks like something else, probably iOS)

It hard to say because no one is even a little bit curious enough to test it. Idk how this thread contains anything else but people testing it, because it’s so damn unbelievable. Why is no one testing this themselves? Why are you not testing it yourself?

KillingTimeItself , to news in X now treats the term cisgender as a slur

cool, surely they now treat the term trans as a slur too right?

Right?

Right??

Does it also treat tranny as a slur if so then I guess that’s just equality.

TheHotze ,

There is a difference between a slur and a descriptive word.

llamajester421 ,

The respective term is trans-gender not "tranny", which is an actual slur now only used by bigots and transphobe porn addicts . In Latin 'cis' is to 'trans' the opposite proposition (not pronoun in case some idiot republican bigot misses the nuance here). It is an established term in medical and psychological journals, which as with transgender and non-binary people organizations are conveniently left out of this TERF and nazi fueled culture war we are witnessing. https://www.apa.org/practice/guidelines/transgender.pdf https://www.apa.org/monitor/2018/09/ce-corner-glossary https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphoria https://www.who.int/health-topics/gender

Further, “cissy” is the inverse of that slur.

drmeanfeel ,

Not even that, since it’s not loaded with violence to the gills the way the other is.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

All slurs are not equal. A slur against a privileged group won’t have nearly the power that one against a disenfranchised one does. That’s why I find “honkey” or “cracker” funny rather than threatening.

drmeanfeel ,

Yeah I know, that’s what I said

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

And I was clarifying that I agreed with you.

Yglorba , to piracy in Nintendo blitzes GitHub with over 8,000 emulator-related DMCA takedowns

As the article mentions, they’re releasing the Switch successor soon. I suspect the real reason for this push is to try and scare people off from developing an emulator for that one, at least during the lifetime of the console - it’s a bit late to try and kill Switch emulation given that nearly fully-functional emulators already exist.

I’m going to call it “coughshitter” because that’s what it sounds like

If it integrates properly with tv that will be one thing better than Netflix at least…

i believe that data breaches are so frequent, that we now have a dedicated community to post these.
