Well then why did you describe them not doing that as malicious compliance?

And why should apple (or anyone for that matter) be forced to use googles proprietary code for an “open standard”?

Also,

There is, naturally, a wrinkle here. The RCS standard still doesn’t support end-to-end encryption. Apple, which has offered encrypted messaging for over a decade, is kind of a stickler about security. Apple says it won’t be supporting any proprietary extensions that seek to add encryption on top of RCS and hopes, instead, to work with the GSM Association to add encryption to the standard.

They probably have a deal similar to DuckDuckGo:

As noted above, we call model providers on your behalf so your personal information (for example, IP address) is not exposed to them. In addition, we have agreements in place with all model providers that further limit how they can use data from these anonymous requests that includes not using Prompts and Outputs to develop or improve their models as well as deleting all information received once it is no longer necessary to provide Outputs (at most within 30 days with limited exceptions for safety and legal compliance).

Avengers endgame (especially the final battle) is really great

I mean Apples the one saying it. I doubt OpenAI wants to piss them off.

Apparently they won’t be collecting data.

Privacy protections are built in for users who access ChatGPT — their IP addresses are obscured, and OpenAI won’t store requests. ChatGPT’s data-use policies apply for users who choose to connect their account.

doesn’t seem to have an opt-out

It’s opt in

It’s intentionally a very over the top southern accent.

You can turn off Siri and I believe the other ai features are opt in.

I think they both still worked on gta 6 though. It’ll probably take until red dead 3 or gta 7 before we really see the impact of them leaving.

Why?

Microsoft and Sony force them to develop for the lowest spec gen

No they don’t. If the developers wanted they could have dropped support for the last gen versions for newer updates (like what cyberpunk did).

Also for what it’s worth they even had a ps4 trailer for the Odyssey dlc.

I though the book was good except for the ending which felt a little rushed

Elon Musk literally got government permission and funds to dig a subway tunnel for electric cars.

Fair enough, but afaik the California government didn’t give him money for that.

project is 10 years behind schedule

I mean it’s the first system of its kind in the country and it’s being built in a state full of NIMBYs. Many of the delays were caused by lawsuits and environmental review like here, here, here, and here.

making ticket prices unaffordable for many commuters.

The latest estimates from 2019 (page 22) the ticket cost will be 100 dollars from San Francisco to la. Which would put the per km cost at a very competitive 13 cents.

there are very few comparable initiatives to expand passenger rail.

What does that have to do with California?

So your solution is to shit on any attempts to fix that?

they can’t figure out how to build even a single train
