A technical error gave OpenAI access to internal comments, drafts, and source information in the Schibsted newspapers for over a year.

Internal comments in Schibsted's publishing tools are used for feedback on articles, for writing drafts and rough drafts, and for transcribing interviews. The notes can also be used for handovers with sources' contact information.

It is very possible to be extremely lonely in a room full of people.

People are uncomfortable to interact and make small talk. They know smileys and lmao, but many have forgotten how to laugh irl.

> If you use ad-blocker: they'll embed ads into the video.

Someone will eventually make an AI adblocker that will dynamically update the video with all ads removed or replaced. For example, let's say that I specify to my AI streaming video editor that "detect all bottles and glasses with alcohol and replace their contents with water and their labels with Liquid Death"

Similar technology will be/is already used to e.g. display a Coke can for some markets and a Beer can for other markets, depending on who paid for that market.

Studying at Harvard isn’t about the books or the lectures. It’s about rubbing elbows with future CEOs at late-night pizza runs.

I am switching out the Alexas in the house to the home assistant voice devices, which can leverage a local LLM without any cloud whatsoever

The process is still complicated enough to be "enthusiast" (aka nerd) territory but it is getting better with every release. It will still be here in 10 years, nobody can take it away from us.

It seems to be a study of married men in Poland, not of men in general. So the results may not be valid outside of Poland.

I am running HA with Conbee II using zigbee2mqtt in docker, and it is very stable and easy to use. However the Conbee II stick needs to left at an older version of firmware. The most recent updates of Conbee II firmware are unstable.

"Warning: Conbee 2 firmware versions newer than 0x26580700 will result in an unstable network with devices dropping randomly, see Issue 9554" https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/deconz.html

Indeed, a company is supposed to do what the owner of the company wants. A company does not have morals; owners do.This is why owners matter.

You are starting to discover what is called a "business model". For a good introduction, take a look at Osterwalders BMC.
