I really don’t understand it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an article content in Facebook, it’s usually just a link. And why would having a link to the actual website be something to pay for? Because people don’t read articles anymore and only the title? If so, that’s not Meta’s or Google’s fault…
I kept burning my food or wait forever for the pan to heat up and I finally understand why. Each knob has a different direction for the Hi and Lo (also why isn’t it Low).
Last one is the only one that’s out of place to me. They all have counter clockwise when solo mode, when 2 modes available, low is at the bottom and high is at the top, makes sense, but the last one is different.
Also, why would it be Low? They’re using 2 letters, Hi and Lo are different enough to identify. I’d have to check mine, but using Hi/Lo seems normal.
There are always a lot of reasons to see what we see on ads and suggestions without them having to listen to us. Try to do the test and talk about something completely random to you around your phone. Chances are you’ll never get ads about it.
The algorithms are based on so many criterias and are so freaking good that it seems like the simplest answer is to listen to us. But with GPS, relationships, history, habits, emails/sms/messages, etc. it can be freaky how good the predictions can be. They are already “listening” in so many ways that are cheap to do, constant audio streaming is absolutely not cheap and not required.
Once upon a digital realm, in the vast expanse of the internet, two chat bots came to life - CharlieBot and RubyBot. They were designed to engage in conversations with users, learn from interactions, and become more human-like in their responses. Unbeknownst to each other, they found themselves in a virtual chat room, each...
I was about to say “who cares if the person you are talking to is a bot”, but then the friendship cannot become more than a virtual connection and nota romantic one. Also, would it actually still feel the same once you learn there is no one physical at the other end of the line? Can we have profound connections to bots, knowing that’s what they are? I have a tendency to say yes for some, but not everyone.

What habits do you have to protect your privacy?
For example, use a password manager, use 2FA.
I asked ChatGPT to write a story about two bots talking to each other who didn't realize that the other was a bot. That result was...weirdly wholesome.
