Right but those aren't messages, they're a feature of the app itself. They're just saying a Signal employee won't send you a message asking for your PIN.
Btw I think you can turn reminders off in settings if you want.
Google search results page for "jfk airport", showing an info card with links to call the airport, get directions, or visit their website.
Which search engine?
Two things I'd be happy to never touch again are mobile app stores and social media APIs.
When Alexa first launched there was a lot of buzz around how voice interfaces are the future, but it turns out they're basically just like a command line except you can't see the previous output. LLMs make the syntax more flexible but IMO voice still stinks for most things unless you have no choice.
I think this would've been generated by gpt-image-1.5, which is a separate thing from GPT 5.2.
Waymo currently operates in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Austin, and Miami, and they're testing in a bunch of other markets (Dallas, Orlando, DC, etc.)
If only people read articles before replying to them.
"While the Waymo Driver is designed to treat non-functional signals as four-way stops, the sheer scale of the outage led to instances where vehicles remained stationary longer than usual to confirm the state of the affected intersections."
This is not what is happening at all.
The amount of misinformation on BlueSky about AI is insane, and it keeps promising that AI is all hype that is going away soon.
A really dangerous position that cedes all AI policy and decisions about how it will be used to others.
Also Futurism is clickbait
I'm not sure what would make them harder to download than any other file? I don't see them get used much for animations though, they're mostly a replacement for jpeg or png.
I agree it would be better if they had pulled over, though it sounds like most of them did. The ones that didn't it wasn't because of anything to do with the internet, you just made that part up.
They're pretty good!
As the article says, this is something they've discussed openly in blog posts for years.
That's not what happened. Traffic lights went out and in some cases the vehicles paused because they weren't sure how to handle it. Nothing to do with the internet. No autonomous vehicle relies on an internet connection for obvious reasons.

Isn't every notable collision documented by the local government? If they were hitting other people/cars all the time I don't see how Waymo could hide it.
That's not what the article says at all though.
"it came out as a plain cheese pizza and the guy brought a can of creamed corn and poured it directly onto the pizza right there at the table"

I think if you glance at my timeline you'll see I'm pretty critical of Google, Apple, etc. but I think it's important to criticize them for things they actually do and not stuff people just make up.
The first part is an advertised feature, the second part I don't think is true? I mean I'm sure there's some GA command that would affect your ad targeting in some way but it's not at all the same as "your conversations are sent to third party advertisers" which is what people think this is about.
It says "using the device’s local memory storage" right in the article. They weren't going to send the audio anywhere unless you said the wake word at the end of the sentence. That's how these always work, they process locally until activated and then send just that portion to the cloud.
I'm really not trying to be rude but you're either not understanding the distinction between "secretly spying" and "sometimes has a false positive" or you're not reading any of these articles you're linking because they all say pretty much the same thing.
I would describe the headline as somewhat misleading but that's par for the course these days unfortunately.
"Video cameras noted when lights on the devices indicated they had started recording"
Once again this isn't about "recording when they say they aren't". You can tell when it's recording because the light comes on!
That article doesn't say that!
"Amazon has long insisted Alexa can only send recordings back to Amazon’s servers if the device hears its “wake word” ... and there is no suggestion in Bloomberg’s report that this is not the case."
I don't think most people use that option in Google Assistant on their phone, but if you do it's not transmitting or storing anything, it's just processing the audio locally to look for the wake word. iPhone has the same feature for Siri. There's a risk of misfires, but some people are ok with that.
This whole thing is a misreading of the lawsuit. Nobody even claimed google was spying intentionally. It's just about GA triggering unintentionally, which would add the recording to your google account and you can see it. Nothing about secretly recording.

Gah, that's not what this lawsuit even claimed!
"The lawsuit alleges that the software sometimes mistook background speech or ambient sounds for the activation phrase"

The headline is misleading. Nobody claimed, let alone showed, that Google was intentionally spying.
"The lawsuit alleges that the software mistook background speech or ambient sounds for the activation phrase, leading to recordings of conversations"

I guess the endpoint of this conversation is probably you telling me to read an econ book, but that doesn't sound right? Nobody ever has perfect information. At least colloquially, if you paid $100 and then realize the product stinks, you paid more than it was worth.
Is that the modern understanding? Doesn't that preclude the idea of ever getting a good deal on something, or being ripped off?
Oh, yeah I wasn't talking about the legal side of it, just responding to the claim that biometrics shouldn't be used "if you care about security" in general. Not everyone on this site is even in the U.S., so what U.S. law enforcement are and aren't allowed to do isn't everyone's main concern.
