OpenAI continues to enshittify ChatGPT: OpenAI allows advertisers — or really anyone, I tested myself in 5 minutes — upload raw phone numbers or email addresses to OpenAI to then target those specific people and inject specific ads into their ChatGPT session www.404media.co/how-chatg….

Furbys are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.

Every new tech "wearable" is about sneaking around consent. Corpos know AI surveillance is incredibly unpopular, so their bugs (literally, it's called "Bee") are designed to be discreet. "No one knows you're recording" is a feature. If I catch you with one of these in my lecture, I will destroy it.

Amazon’s personal AI wearable maker, Bee, is announcing its first new products since being acquired by the retail giant last year. The tech company on Thursday introduced the Bee Frontier, the next generation of its device that can be worn on the wrist or pinned to clothes, along with Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized device that magnetically attaches to the back of your smartphone.

“For instance, if you discussed making plans with friends, the Bee would remember the date and time you agreed on, then create a calendar invite. You could also use the Bee to take lecture notes in class, or to jot down the care plan you discussed with a doctor, among other things.”

It's AI. Wake up and admit it to yourselves and everyone else.

We’re aware that Total War: Shogun 2 – Complete Edition has fallen short of both your expectations and our own standards. We’ve seen your feedback, comments, and reviews. We agree that the current experience is not where it needs to be.
As a result we are working with platform holders to temporarily remove the game from sale and to reinstate the original game while we investigate the issues. Existing owners will still be able to access and play the game.
We are working closely with our development partner to identify the causes of these problems, deliver improvements, and ensure Shogun 2 – Complete Edition meets the quality standards players expect from Total War.
