Stadia worked on chrome browsers. I think you needed their controller though, but I got mine for free with a Chromecast purchase. For TVs you needed a Chromecast or a Android TV

This still allows the government to see which service provider you are using.

That was a poor choice then. They can do this with ZKP and not even know that.

Like it should be doable where sure the website might ask the government if its valid, but the government doesnt know who owns the token, so all they know is someone accessed the site, not who. So they could know general traffic to sites, but that would be it.

There would be ways to hide even the site as well where the website gives you a non identifying token to use with yours and be verified by the government as well, then they only know some site is requesting verification and sign it back to you as valid and you return it to the site. In this one the government only knows your using it, but not where.

Edit: clarity, but also if they put this much effort into the system using ZKP, this oversight almost sounds intentional so they can track people / population usage even if less.

Edit: 10 years from now - our age restriction service shows traffic to porn hub increased 10x over the past decade while poverty has increased! PornHub is clearly the cause of our poverty situation we should ban it! The traffic is too high! A bit over the top, but the info is still useful to them.

I wonder if any companies would ever accept that as proof hah.

First time I’m hearing about a non google OEM made phone, that would be amazing!

And immediately blocked.

I’m not against AI, I use it, but I want to be using it on my terms, not have it shoved into everything I use.

You can make them biometric and still be private, but that’s even more effort which they wont spend.

Microsoft Board: But Google lost so much money on Stadia!

Voice on speaker: but Google didnt have me, Bing.AI!

Microsoft Board: DONE. MAKE US RICH!

the technology itself and mistrust of government are, at least partly, different things

I don’t personally think so when it comes to technologies like this that can be used to surveil and/or control a population (edit: and especially that are being heavily driven by governments)

It’s pretty much a given that it will be used against us as history has shown us its always the case.

Trying to separate them out, gives them the extra support they need to pass it through and then abuse it.

The basis is its how the world communicates and they become the gate keepers to communication and knowledge. Its like book banning on topics they don’t like but on a scale much more massive.

They’re already banning internet content from people that shouldn’t be about sexual health because its not about protecting kids its about controlling them and people.

You gotta be a good sheep and they’re going to do their best to make you one.

This has been tried before and never worked well. What makes you think its going to work any better now?

I even have a free controller google gave me when they tried it.

No, we still need to be against it. I said tracking and controlling, not just tracking.

They are already blocking resources that shouldn’t be blocked from youth, and even a privacy centric method would still let them do that, and then expand it to anything at a whim in the future.

We don’t want the internet built on this infrastructure, it would br a disaster.

Because its not about age verification, its about tracking and controlling you and making a privacy respecting solution isn’t compatible with that.

Grok isn’t a company, its xAi

Apparently the lidar in some cars can damage cameras and are safe for eyes.

I remember visiting my uncle and being young enough I slept in a crib, but I was old enough to walk around. I barely remember anything else about the trip though.

I don’t think i can place another memory until preschool. I can remember the layout of the preschool and some activities we did at it.

Wow that is such an elegant solution! Definitely a principal level solution!

No wonder its been working 3 years.

Well done!

“don’t execute a command in the terminal you found online or were told to run, unless you understand fully what it does.”

We should start littering the internet with bad commands with all sorts of comments saying it works amazingly for its purpose so the AI will keep destroying things if let to run unchecked.

Imagine the trouble they could have saved themselves and others if that’s how they marketed it everywhere instead.

Are you from Europe?

EU has some laws that cause AP to disengage beyond mild turns. It can take some pretty good turns outside EU, but not really sharp ones.

You’re absolutely right that the earnings today doesn’t justify the stock price.

It’s all based off future assumptions that would need to come true like dominating the AV industry and humanoid robot industry.

There was actually a brief period in 2022 I think where the stock price was really high, but they were making more profit than other OEMs combined with a faction of the cars, and they were actually reaching what seemed like a reasonable PE ratio. Then he bought twitter, did the nazi stuff, did the Cybertruck instead of the 25k vehicle (which is now abandoned), and their vehicle growth started shrinking instead of growing.
