Brazil is a dictatorship in disguise. Supreme court is the executive branch. There is no law the court can do anything it wants, arrest anyone for any reason. There is no expiry date for their term.

As a Brazilian I can’t see a future where the people win. It’s not even close it’s full control and all of the power is concentrated in the government upper branch.

The system is designed to keep them in power there is nothing that can be done just leave the country

From the dialogues in the pictures it doesn’t sound like they are using anyones emails for training. The messaging indicates it’s more like using as context and/or generating embeddings for RAG. Unless there’s something else I’m not aware of.

I know that Google does a lot of bad stuff but we don’t need to make up stuff they just aren’t doing

This doomsday messaging an alarmism is only serves to degrade the whole cause

edit: and before someone say that they also don’t want that then let’s criticize it for what it is (opting users to feature without consent). We don’t need to make stuff up, it really doesn’t help.

I think it’s safe to say that by “We” we can assume it would be your country and its allies.

War and spying has been a thing for a long time now. I think it’s unreasonable to expect countries to not make use of their respective industries and enterprises to get an edge on each other.

The fact is that this kind of hardware is just very good for that so as I a costumer, I feel you and I think the best we can do is buy a custom hardware and install a custom OS. Like open-wrt.

But I will not complain of my country doing that because when I see adversaries doing it, it’s completely reasonable that it also do. In fact, game theory, mandates it.

Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha? Of course this can happen. and not only I support it but I think they should do it more and use it to get a shot on any criminal or foreign power.

We can do it, but we shouldn’t expose ourselves for the possibility of our opponents doing it. That simple

We may joke about it, but the fact is that it's releasing dumb ideas like this that you sometimes get masterpieces. Maybe this one is really just one of the bad ones, but eventually Elon will have some good ones just like he already has.

And a lot of us would be better off releasing our dumb ideas too. The world has a lot of issues and if all you do is talk down and don't try to fix anything yourself. Maybe it's time to get off the web a little and do something else.

It's not racist. It's all about the intention; as a company, you don't want to expend a single extra dime to comply with the regulations. since the population is pretty much homogeneous you can just blur out the Japanese and you are pretty much guaranteed to cover 99% of the cases.

Business don't exist to respect or care about people they exist to generate profit so the idea of a business "respecting" something is not even realistic.

The law is what outlines what are the limits and guarantees the basics rights to everyone.

You can use Copilot and a bunch of new Agents such as augment and firebender which are very good.

In the worst case you’ll still be able to use AI tooling similar or equal to what you have in VS code. Even Windsurf has an JetBrains plugin.

Maybe they should ask the new models to generate a better name for themselves. It's getting quite confusing.

Why move away though? The cloud subsidizes for "free" a lot of powerful services that the average user can only dream of self-hosting.

And the price is what? Your browsing history? Personalized Ad's? Provided you don't AdBlock that is!

I like the symbiotic relationship. I do believe in safeguarding yourself from getting locked out of your life due to your Google acc getting banned but outside of that I see no harm in getting free service in exchange for data. It's a fair deal.

Well, if you see any kind of propaganda, you can denounce and I’m sure this community will respond just like we responded to china propaganda and censorship on DeepSeek.

No good will come from of denying progress just because you don’t like someone else is opinions and worldviews.

I have observed the change in approach to use aggressive (clickbaity) thumbnails, but I do think the quality of the content has not changed.

And I can't blame her for adopting this trend, in many cases it is the difference between surviving or not on YouTube nowadays.
