1 day agoI’ll never not be shocked at how many people who should know much better are duped by marketing nonsense. Like they don’t even apply any sort of thought process as to how it will work or how to make it not awful or even what value it’s supposed to provide, nothing beyond “implement AI”.
Like I see Reuters adding their own AI summaries, and advertising them as such. How long would it take for the actual fucking human that wrote this article to write a 2-sentence summary? What value do you think this provides to your audience, besides encouraging them not to read the article, which is your only job? Why would I read this when I can get the same shit from fuckin Google?
It is true that this device can be used nefariously. But it’s just a computer with a wide variety of very basic and common communication methods along with software to exploit them. There are many other computers like it that are just less popular. And to ban it is to ban said basic communication methods like radio, WiFi, NFC, etc.
The solution is to mandate companies to provide a minimum level of security. Even giant companies with good reputations have giant security holes, like Apple or your bank, implementing mandatory SMS as 2FA. That shit should be illegal.
