  • Yes but not in a way she would think another person may view it, most likely. Obviously IANAL but surely intent matters here?

    If people actively realised someone can read all their chats, I’m sure these services would be far less popular.

    And here’s the autism slop because I can’t think of the proper term for “actively realising” and do not have the energy to make it readable anymore:
    What I mean is, I’m sure plenty of people know in the back of their mind that their data is not protected there, but it’s not the first, or second, or probably even tenth thing they think about when starting a chat.

    It makes sense if you want to concatenate strings, which is probably pretty much what happens when you type that into the path input.

    This way, you could create a string like “D:/%appdata%/local/minecraft” Whereas without the trailing %, you would need a space to separate it from the text, which would result in “D:/Users/Public/AppData /local/minecraft”.

    (i havent used windows in a while and those paths are from memory, they might be wrong)








  • Yes so of course my actual opinion is a little more nuanced than this. I absolutely see the uses of AI, I won’t deny that. I just fundamentally disagree with the way it is being used right now (by which I mean the gas-turbine-powered datacenters it requires, the noise pollution they create, the unethical/outright illegal acquiring of training data.

    If you’re using a local model, whose training did not deprive actual people of huge amounts of water or electricity, and did not use stolen data, I’m all for it. But most people aren’t, they’re using ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever Microsoft is making.

    Continuing your analogy, this would be like flying rockets manufactured by the third reich, not other companies using the same technologies.
