Hello, with the new AI features being added into Googles services I was thinking of maybe starting a thread about how to remove data from the affected services. I feel like simply deleting my photos from Google Photos most likely wouldn’t be enough of a measure to ensure my images does not get affected or used in these AI...
Afaik in the app there isn’t. I think the actual photo data bytes do get deleted but some other crap generated from the ML models ran on them stay. Databases are also constantly replicated and snapshotted multiple times for all Google services and I have no idea how long those last either
I don’t count productivity or coding as a net good for what it’s worth. Fun, sure, but it’s truly incredible how the influx of AI hasn’t been used to create a more efficient way to distribute resources irl...
pretty sure the saddest thing about modern American engineering and tech is that most of it is used for either military weapons of mass death or software tools of unimaginable surveillance and data collection
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having healthy financial strategies, sometimes to the point of obsession, and aiming for FIRE especially given our fucked up government who doesn’t care about us, as the author herself says
But every single person I’ve met who does this is a reactionary neoliberal
Almost impossible, some sort of base super structure theory going on here?
Anyways I kind of did that except I didn’t penny pinch, just tried to min max financial strategies (credit cards, options trading, interest rates, etc.) but like, maybe 60% of the extent of what FIRE guys do. Still way more than the average person
And tbh, yea, I did end up becoming somebody who’s weird with money and wealth despite intellectually being radicalized and now I’m still trying to unlearn all of that
I was never reactionary or a neoliberal even before radicalization, I was just thinking about money far too much

It’s actually so crazy how in just very recent years, we can clearly see what the division will be for World War III
Incredible too because US could’ve realistically had so many countries who are now 100% going to be China’s allies be neutral or possibly even on America’s side
I became a teacher last year and the amount of incredible, complex, highly coordinated dancing they pretty much all do is incredible. I saw a 5 year old do a whacky fortnite squat dance into a back handspring. What?!...
Listen, everybody knows when minorities do anything, it’s because they’re poor and uncultured. It’s a billion times more impressive and praise worthy when white kids do it
Coding for a corporate where you don’t actually make a useful thing and every line of code only serves the purpose of making more profits is the most soul crushing shit ever
At least in retail I helped customers check out that cute crop top they wanted to wear
Like I don’t actually buy these people are this ignorant of the words coming out of their own mouth, I think they know it’s a stupid argument but since they’re Lib economists they have to keep the bit up to make sure they can get back to brunch.

Are we doing thinly veiled ableism again or something?
Also seems like she’s doing a legit STEM PhD program, good chance she comes out of it having pushed forward humanity’s knowledge and understanding of the world
happybadger are you upset with your life? You make fun of and get angry at the most random normal people instead of like, actual bourgeois monsters or serial killers or rapists or something
