It is too much pressure for Reddit to have this many users. They’re doing their best to get rid of them. It’s just too much to handle… Poor Reddit

Penguinz0 just released a video about it and I have to admit that the character.ai AI are disturbingly convincing. They keep arguing they are real persons and, for vulnerable peole, you can get lost.

Definitely some gross negligence from the AI platform here in my honest opinion. It’s easy to put some guardrails when you make a chatbot, but they didn’t.

Btw, you don’t know what the parents did and did not to help their son. I don’t know either. So it’s better to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Edit: I’m not an American and I would never understand why anyone would own guns.

I’m pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!

See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!

Wait a minute… BS stands for “Beautiful Science” now?

Yes and there was an article few months ago telling that burglars now use wifi jammers to turn off wifi security cameras before breaking and entering. Those jammers are pretty much illegal as well but criminal do illegal stuff anyways…

That being said, how would blocking only the GPS help criminals in their criminal activities? I lack imagination I guess.

I totally understand this and I agree when it comes to jammers this powerful.

My comment was about the low power models which only works for few feet, just enough for to cover your own car. Those are still illegal.

From the low power models I’ve seen (which are still very much illegal, same as the most powerful ones) only work between 5 to 10 feet at the very most.

It’s like when the companies place trackers in cars, we have to assume they have the best intentions in mind (it is definitely for the customers security right?!)

But if we, the customers, block them from tracking us by jamming the GPS signal, they assume we have the worst intentions in mind (surely we are dirty criminals right?!)

This is why I said it “feels” wrong.

You know what feels wrong? You can easily buy GPS tracking devices on Amazon, but it is illegal to use a GPS jammer in USA, Canada and many other countries.

So companies spying you is fine, but blocking a GPS signal to prevent them from spying can get you a $16,000 fine.

Edit: my thought experiment is not about truck drivers being monitored but more about those fancy new EVs that sell your GPS based data to data brokers… You usually can’t turn off the GPS in those EVs.

Gosh I completely forgot how to Reddit… I thought a guy named “Permalink” replied to his own comment several times…

🤦

I have 3800+ hours on POE according to steam… I hate this metric

Bizarre j’ai jamais entendu ça…

That’s legit! Glad to have witnessed your first comment!
