If there's XMPP involved in that pattern then I question your recollection of events that happened. If anything this is going to be more like e-mail where commercial service providers might want to set up some obstacles to avoid spam but also hurt little guys in the process. We'll see how that goes with EU DSA laws though.
They'll probably pull the rug one way or another. Maybe they won't because users could then move from Threads to a Mastodon instance that supports their favorite app and still keep in touch with all the people they follow.
I'd go one step further and say pirating music is too big of a hassle in general. Apple Music and Tidal do loseless compression, have huge catalogues and are so dirt cheap I don't understand why you'd make your life so hard on purpose. Once effectively unlimited mobile data became a thing music piracy lost most of its purpose.
so we already know that youtube doesn't like people freeloading their bandwidth using something like invidious, piped, newpipe etc. why don't they just close the public web api and require a login or something. by requiring login they can keep track of what users are watching and if a user is watching thousands of videos daily...
I would understand self hosting but those are for-profit entities as well. They might be subject to less regulatory oversight because they're smaller. They might not have as many resources to keep my data safe. They have benefits for sure but trust is not this easy to judge.
Most people don't know what Bayesian statistics are so you could say most people don't really get how machine learning works in general anyway. It's not misleading though as it perfectly sets expectations on what you're getting as output. It's much more healthy to general understanding of AI than anthropomorphizing very inflexible and limited models achieved thanks to technology that is seemingly in a plateau.
ELIZA from 1966 was enough to convince people that computer program they were talking to was human. People are now being sold on getting answers to their questions via natural language prompts and those answers are pretty much plausibly sounding sentences that happen to be right sometimes due to probability calculations.
Bayesian statistics is very different from what's being taught up until high school (at least here) and is foundational to earlier machine learning applications like spam filters. It's hard to imagine understanding what LLMs do without basics.
It's not even the right solution to the problem. I have my car registration among other government issued IDs in a government issued app. With how much power AI uses this is blockchain-level waste of resources.
Labor is relatively cheap despite how much IT is raking in at the moment. Most developers in Poland are registered as sole proprietors which contributes to one of highest rates of self-employment in Europe (source). Tax system favors those over regular work contracts leading to regressive burden (source) and to the point we could be classified as tax haven. Also means those developers are not covered under normal labor protection.
That's because ChatGPT and the likes use machine learning to calculate odds of word combinations that make up a plausible sentence in a given context. There are scientific studies that postulate we'll never have enough data to train those models properly, not to mention exponential energy consumption required. But this is not the only application of this technology.
Doesn't appear that the rule is enforced consistently and in my experience is used mostly to remove Twitter related news, even those that aren't really business (like primary domain change, which broke some extensions). At the same time posts about pricing changes of streaming services are OK.
