It sounds so classy when a choir sings it.

Dude, know your audience. Lemmy is not the place for this SEO stuff. This belongs on LinkedIn or something.

Already working on it. Just need to find someplace I can get a job that will let me work outside the US.

Really some insightful questions from the audience too.

The timeline is absolutely ridiculous considering the scale at which Google play operates. However I otherwise don’t feel a bit sorry for them. It’s probably a foreign experience to most of the Google team to have a competitive challenge and if they are up to it they’ll be fine. If not, I guess that’s the free market at work…

(Also, is it Epics entire business model to just sue their way into relevance? I’m happy to see the big tech firms squeal but seriously it’s like Epic wants their entire brand to be about suing competitors.)

Tmobile does it as a service but it’s a paid one and inconsistent in accuracy. I had it for free as part of a plan for a while and told them no thanks to an additional charge. Not sure it’s worth paying $5/month.

This is right on the line of creepy surveillance and interesting public art project. I kind of like the idea but not a fan of the fact that it’s recording in stealth. I wish it were more transparent about it. Most people wouldn’t care anyway and it removes some of the discomfort of listening in on a bunch of strangers.

It also sucks for the hiring manager who has to interview candidates they know they won’t hire just to stick to the process. It’s a waste of everyone’s time.

From the wiki article :

Perelman resigned from his research post in Steklov Institute of Mathematics and in 2006 stated that he had quit professional mathematics, owing to feeling disappointed over the ethical standards in the field. >

Anybody have any idea what the ethical standards might be that he’s referring to? Not sure if there’s a scandal or something or just an overall sense of displeasure with the field.

I agree with other replies here with one addition. People who get into grad school are generally the high achievers from their high school and undergrad programs, so they are used to being the only or one of few star students. In PhD programs everyone is a star student, so it can be a bit jarring to folks used to being head of the class when they suddenly aren’t.

It can cause a bit of jealousy and competitive thinking but most of the time students get past it and focus simply on enduring the gauntlet.

It’s of course troubling that AI images will go unidentified through this service (I am also not at all confident that Google can do this well/consistently).

However I’m also worried about the opposite side of this problem- real images being mislabeled as AI. I can see a lot of bad actors using that to discredit legitimate news sources or stories that don’t fit their narrative.

Or, perhaps a mashup of both???

I don’t understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.

A professor I was taking a management class with gave me a fun burn on my thesis. I asked for his input on a specific point and he called it “intellectual masterbation” and proceeded to talk for 15 min or so about ideas he thought i should have studied instead (I was already preparing for my thesis defense so couldn’t change topics). Never got an answer on the actual question I’d raised.

+1 Usual Suspects for sure. That movie blew my mind.

I think I read somewhere too that AIs were actually better than people at captchas.

Found it

Why do tech companies keep pushing this crap on us when society has clearly communicated that it is dumb?

He did.

They’re just as ridiculous and overpriced as you’d think.

If I remember right, OpenAi started with this model too, and they do lots of shady stuff. Not that this is the plan for Proton, but I completely agree that simply creating a nonprofit that owns the for profit brand doesn’t guarantee good behavior.

I still don’t know how that works. Discord seems like the worst possible substitute for reddit. It doesn’t work at all the same way and search sucks.
