Right, that’s kind of what I’m saying, the book mentions a person with a name and location (ish). Then finding a guy there when the name is fairly common does not equate all things said about him to be true. Far from it it seems. Especially if the book has fantastical claims outside the realm of reality about said person and is inconsistent on his story.

At best you get a King Arthur story, was there a king or ruler in said period for (part of) England? Probably. Did he become king because he pulled out a magical sword from the rock? I would assume not.

There are even stories that Arthur never died and will return one day…

Since it was a fairly common name, you might as well say John from Richmond is a confirmed individual.

Steve Jobs also famously only made one dollar a year. Because normal income is taxed much more than giving yourself stock and calling it unrealized gains. You cannot be a billionaire without being a parasite.

Governments used to want to control the narrative, now they’ll spill out so many narratives that people are overloaded on trying to figure out what is actually true. This has been going into overdrive with machine learning improvements and it’s probably just picking up traction.

Yeah early Netflix was great, now it’s too fragmented. Like a Tidal or Spotify would be useless if they would be fragmented on the same level.

I saw a link on Lemmy to a “GoG” clone on which you can download all games for free.

Like of all the places not to pirate I would assume the company that enforces no DRM, direct downloads that you can save indefinitely and that makes older games work on newer hardware, would be on the top of that list.

Since those are such common complaints on why to pirate.

Next to that they have deals often where the prices are already really low.

Competing with free is near impossible.

I always heard that the criminals would restore the data, else they kill their own business plan. So this is surprising to me.

Sending the audio to an LLM in the sky. But I assume it would be local?

Back in the day I remember people building cd/dvd changers with Lego to rip and burn at scale.

More recent versions can search the internet. Then it basically adds the words of the page to the prompt.

Edit: Might have misunderstood, to make it crash it doesn’t have to search. That data is already internal.

I think there are two crawlers and the one on the data collection stage to build the model will still crawl away even if you have certain content on your page.

The one that searches when you ask a question is a different one.
