If you design a system such that you cannot differentiate people from corporations and bots and that’s your defense for calling all of them “users”, you’ve designed a system that conflates people – who are mortal, have feelings, can feel pain and be hurt and who have human rights that must be protected – with the very entities that oftentimes exist to exploit them.
Design for people. Call them people. All else is secondary.
"Over the past few months, we’ve learned that Apple has been in discussions with both Google and OpenAI (which owns ChatGPT) about using their respective LLMs to power future features coming to iOS. Now, according to industry analyst Mark Gurman, Apple’s deal with OpenAI might be close to finalized."
Google’s mobile platform will have to look a little different to compete in the AI era. And, Allison Johnson writes, “If the past 12 months is any indication, it’s going to be a little messy." Read more from @theverge. https://flip.it/xwIUGs #Tech#Technology#AI#Google#Android

Just installed #archlinux on my computer. Stupidly forgot to install #brltty and #espeakup before rebooting though so now have no speech. Would any sighted person out there be willing to help me login, connect to the internet, and install what I need over a #videocall? It shouldn't take too long, and I don't want to boot from the #usb again. #BeMyEyes is great, but I'd prefer help from someone who knows #linux. #blind#tech#technology#arch

"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [1/3]
Casual non-techy coworkers yesterday were talking about using excel reports to analyze data & turns out two of the people use #ChatGPT to know how to do something in excel.

"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [2/3]
Now, you do the same thing, but in #ChatGPT, even just upload a photo of what you are trying to do, and instead of a bunch of dubious links, you get an answer that probably works. That probability is just as good as the probability after combing through search results yourself, but without the combing.
"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [3/3]
There are over 1 billion websites with over 30 billion web pages out there on the internet and regular search absolutely sucks now. It's no wonder normies are seeing #ChatGPT as magic when it can take 30 billion+ results and give you one answer that's most likely what you are looking for.
