The article is from a month ago, about a layoff that happened half a month before that, so this all happened before the ai rollout when they were probably still optimistic it was a good idea

I was recently asked to make a small Android app using flutter, which I had never touched before
I used chatgpt at first and it was so painful to get correct answers, but then made an agent or whatever it’s called where I gave it instructions saying it was a flutter Dev and gave it a bunch of specifics about what I was working on
Suddenly it became really useful…I could throw it chunks of code and it would just straight away tell me where the error was and what I needed to change
I could ask it to write me an example method for something that I could then easily adapt for my use
One thing I would do would be ask it to write a method to do X, while I was writing the part that would use that method.
This wasn’t a big project and the whole thing took less than 40 hours, but for me to pick up a new language, setup the development environment, and make a working app for a specific task in 40 hours was a huge deal to me… I think without chatgpt, just learning all the basics and debugging would have taken more than 40 hours alone
Did they really need ai for that? Surely if they needed a script they could have just asked on stack overfl…oh
The difference is that there were concerns Huawei would share the data with the Chinese government for them to spy on various groups/individuals
Most countries like America have no problem with you selling the data to other companies or governments (the US Gov themselves buy huge amounts of data) to spy on you, just not to the Chinese government.
So if the data stays with Toyota (or the people they sell it to), they aren’t likely to upset the governments… But if the data is directly shared with Huawei, it’s likely to run into some pretty quick walls
And how many payments the politicians take from local/competing car companies haha
Will probably depend on if the data stays with Toyota or is shared with Huawei
You know how artists can poison their images for AI… We need a way to poison content on Reddit
Sorry, I’ve had like 2 hours sleep in the last 2 days so I’m tired and grumpy lol, just ignore me
I specifically said it’s negligible if you bothered to read past that line
Ethereum did approximately 1.1m transactions a day. Visa did approximately 660m a day.
Small difference lol
Just to expand on this, While eth is 99.99% less energy use than Bitcoin, it still added 2.8 kilotonnes of co2 last year which is equal to about 2000 average houses for a year.
It’s a negligible amount in the scheme of things, but a lot for a virtual currency especially when you add up all the various cryptocurrencies out there.
It wouldn’t hurt to make all the POS ones use green energy, but probably wouldn’t impact anything by itself.
Changing Bitcoin to green energy alone probably would however.
It even says it in the article op linked
The Apple Music app provides access to the iTunes library, alongside song and album purchases. Apple TV also lets Windows users watch movies and TV shows from their iTunes library
That’s what they changed it to after I had already left… At first they only gave you 2 weeks at other locations for the year
The Netflix one screwed me… I go to hospital 3 times a week for 5 hours of dialysis. But Netflix viewed that as a second household and wanted me to pay for a second account to use my own account in 2 locations
Now I pay for zero accounts and still get any Netflix shows I want through alternative methods
Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012… Years before Google messages adopted it.
There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like “advanced messaging”, “SMS+” etc
Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won’t have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.
But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple
