Besides the numbers being stupidly overblown, this post shows why Europe is in a unstoppable death spiral.

I still don't care. I may just buy another Tesla and a handgun :)

I just love the Tesla, why would I care about what other people say? It works better everyday.

Why pay what you're asking instead of using dragonfly or something like that and just putting a beefier node?

What is this trained on? It doesn't seem to look on the web for my product at all... doesn't quite the reviews...

We think them releasing those features will increase our exposure, but most computers won’t run models and most phones won’t stream AI.

Also, Meta won’t run those models in the cloud for privacy reasons (being, most people don’t trust them).

We use a mix of distilled whispers on custom hardware to make ends meet.

We’re also planning on releasing more customer (and business) oriented features, but not based on AI.

We just made the whatsapp web we wanted and a price tag on it :)

Vulnerability in McAfee Chrome Extension?

Found a rare bug coming from a user and we saw this...

https://forums.mcafee.com/t5/Cybercrime-Phishing/Critical-bug-on-WebAdvisor-chrome-extension/td-p/731011

Literally the extension for an antivirus was hacked?

Submission says:

Version 8.1.0.4679 has a bug in one of scripts: page_crypto_mining.js at line 23:525 (minified version). There is TypeError: 's.startsWith is not a function'. It breaks page scripts on different websites which use arraybuffer. I think this is critical bug.
