I think that is a VERY good idea... having AI in an app the user installs means that user makes the choice

Having AI in the operating system takes the choice away from the user

…and he will send them to Mars. But what will he do when Bard gets integrated in Android? 🫣

As CEO, he can do what he wants. It's quite a bit different, but where I worked no cell phones were allowed, all had to be checked at the desk. I was probably one of the last holdouts still using a pager.

SO true. LinkedIn asked me to write an article in 2014, so I wrote about my greeting card industry. In it, I warned artists about posting their work on Facebook because in their Terms of Use, they say they can use your images for all kinds of things without your consent. I mean I didn't even go on Instagram untill 2020 0r 2021. And now due to the AI scraping scandal, they're all up in arms and saying they're leaving all things Meta and going over to Cara. But I mean I told them TEN YEARS AGO. It's nothing new if only they realized it.

As we mentioned Elon, has anyone seen the interview between Elon and Don Lemon?

[ricky336]

If so, it shows, how not to conduct an interview - especially if you want to go into business with someone!

[Leslie Moak Murray]

It was truly cringey!

[ricky336]

It's all in the name of the interviewer!   I would never buy a car from him!

Whatevery Musk motvtions are, and I would agree that it's more profits than security, I don't feel bad for Apple. They have had a history of doing what they want, for profits, and not caring about the rest of the industry. Like them eliminating Flash.
