When you connect or set an #iphone On a charger, it makes a loud sound. I don't know why. In the magsafe case, the phone emits the "connected to power" bloop, nearly (but not exactly) the same as a magsafe bonk. Useless and obnoxious. The only remedy is to silence the ringer.

New: USPS is to put cameras in its trucks that continuously record. This is to gather data on roads, signage, and to improve "community safety," the agency tells me. The cameras are marketed to capture passing license plates too, but don't run ALPR software www.404media.co/usps-to-put-...

ended up talking to the 4th grader this morning about fascists, which can be hard to explain simply. i said fascists get mad the world isn't how they want, so they make up a story: things used to be good, but certain people ruined it, and if we just get rid of them everything will be good again

How about the folks training AI put on their big boy pants, and take responsibility for their product's behavior. They need to stop feeding them absolutely everything, build ethics and safety in first and foremost, and curate the training data.

This Sheeran/Macklemore kerfuffle is reductive and stupid. The stadiums didn't need to cancel because Macklemore, and Sheeran isn't required to make statements he doesn't want to make.

this is so fucking crazy. huge huge huge scoop www.404media.co/inside-proje...
In a dashboard available to the workers, human reviewers are able to select which “task” they want to take on. Once they click that, they are presented with the real ChatGPT user’s prompt. 404 Media has seen multiple real prompts but is not quoting any of them for source protection reasons. Some of the prompts indicate the ChatGPT user does not expect that a human may end up reading their conversation, because they ask ChatGPT to keep the content to themselves.
