It's a virtual card, they don't offer a physical tap card.

You call people?

Like, on the phone?

Weirdo

Yeah the software being bundled in default images is just a convenience.

Most places that are serious about using AWS will be shipping their own images anyway

Hard to say. Privacy of mind seems most important. The rest... Seems immaterial?

The minds control all, after all.

Ok Chairmaker but we can't all be on Sma's bankroll.

The Google ads team is functionally all of the company's revenue.

Google search still remains their most used product offering with most of their ad revenue (58.1% in 2022).

Google leadership is terrified that anyone could eat their lunch, because they know the search offering is getting worse and worse.

The origin of Google was taking out complacent search companies that had gotten comfy.

I'm pretty sure when I was laid off (1 year ago yesterday ❤️❤️ thanks Google) it was because they saw LLMs as a threat they hadn't taken seriously enough... Combined with that asshole billionaire being pissy that Google was only making 1.2 million per employee instead of 1.3 million.

It's always funny to me when people wave away tap to pay like losing it is nothing.

It's my number 1 practical use case for my phone. My commuter card is stored there for example. I use it as often as I take photos at this point: I might take a dozen photos on the weekend but I commute every day.

... Which makes it even less credible legally.

Unless you're getting C-suite level emails saying they're not going to do it, don't trust them.

And even then you should be ready to sue.

ChatGPT also fudges "memory" by feeding in all previous prompts (up to a token limit) with whatever you've said latest, which improves the pattern matching.

Sure: I get that they're not exactly the same. The ChatGPT issue is orders of magnitude more removed from humanity than a dog, but it's a daily example of anthropomorphic bias that is relatable and easy to understand. Just was using it as an example.

I think there's a second, unstated issue at play here: you're experiencing a very deep cognitive bias. An exploit in the human brain.

The human brain is a fantastically complex piece of meat but one of its many issues is the anthropomorphic bias: the tendency to ascribe human traits, especially agency and cognition, to things or animals that do not have those traits.

We tend to believe if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it must be a duck. ChatGPT is a very complex and highly specialized algorithm that outputs data just like another online human... But 100% of it is just a model processing your input and returning it back out. It talks like a human but is more akin to notepad than it is to us.

To be clear: that bias exists in everyone. We all do this. Anytime I talk about my dog scheming to get my attention I'm hitting that bias. Anytime my robot vacuum interrupts me doing the dishes I talk at it and tell it to go away. I interact with the world around me as though most things are human.

It's not developing a thick skin, it's developing compassion.

Never attribute to malice what can be reasonably explained by incompetence or stupidity. Similarly that which can be explained by happenstance.

Don't be a doormat obviously but assume they had a reason and be as gracious as possible in excusing their faults.

If anything what you need is to be more emotionally available not less. Empathy serves you far better than rage.
