I'm sorry - people bought a camera that literally watches you shit and now they have privacy concerns?

Has a company connected the thing you bought to the internet as a default?

Then assume it is *Inherently* unsafe.

Because good devs aren't cheap, and quality costs.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Is it a bicycle? Is it a computer? The Raleigh Vectar folks, a pedalling ride with a microchip.

I've had innumerate CT scans and I always know where is being scanned and *why it's being scanned*.
Because it's important.
How can someone have an MRI and not know what it's for, and therefore where was imaged?
So: either lying, stupid, or it was a brain scan.

Trump appeared open to releasing the results of a recent MRI, although he said he was unaware which part of his body was examined in the scan. https://cnn.it/4audS0a

Two more Conservative MP rejects hop over to Reform UK. Jonathan Gullis and Lia Nici.

More and more, Reform UK looks simply as if the Tories ran off stage, then came back on two minutes lates, wearing a comedy moustache-and-glasses disguise. ~AA

It's only a matter of time bigger some techbro suggests putting AI into a car.
AI: We're approaching a T junction, would you like to turn left or right?
Driver: That's not a T junction?
AI: Ha! You're right, good catch, it's a cul de sac, sorry about that. *Turns right and crashes*

They tried this in Excel where the icon appeared in every single cell you clicked on, and got in the way if you wanted to use the next cell to the right.
It did my head in, and seems I'm not the only one...

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…
