Ok but hear me out, what happens if you inject it into your feet?
"I only took a bite out of the bread, therefore I didnt eat any bread."
Where do I shit.
Cancelled prime ages ago for a different reason. Don't miss it. I don't know about other places, but where I'm at the "prime 2 day shipping" pretty much never arrives in 2 days anyway.
In effect, Air Canada suggests the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions.
The airline also argued that the chatbot's response to Moffatt's inquiry included a link to a section of its website that outlined the company's policy and said that requests for a discounted fare are not allowed after someone has travelled.
So what Air Canada is saying is "If the bot says you're supposed to get this deal, we aren't liable, but if the same bot also says you aren't supposed to get this deal contradicting itself in the same breath, then that should be upheld in court to benefit us".
Sorry lol, you don't get to have it both ways.
Selling user data, selling top posts and comments to corporate marketing accounts, selling control of dialogue about any subject to sway public opinion, reddit gold, making the platform more ass.
They already fucked me on this years ago. One day I logged into Uplay and Battlefield 3 and my 2 other games were just fucking gone. Haven't touched them with a 10 foot pole since.
Fuck no, I have 4 years of industry experience and my industry is basically falling apart. I haven't been able to find work since March. Even construction labour jobs requiring no experience wont call me back. If I cant make something work soon I might just decide to french kiss an electrical socket.
The problem is that in its current state, there are inherent flaws which a corporation can abuse to destroy what to a lot of people on it consider to be the purpose of federated social media, which is lack of corporate control.
Consider that a company with the resources of meta could create hundreds of thousands of instances across all federated social media to the degree that you cannot tell what they own and what they don't until it is a statistical likelihood that your account is on a corporation controlled instance.
Consider that existing instances which are privately owned and operated could sell their instance to a corporation and no one would necessarily be any the wiser.
So you are right, in its current form, I do not believe in federated social media for the future, because it has no preventative measures to avoid such a thing outside of hosting your own personal instance, which a lot of people do not have the resources to do.
Used to do outsourced IT for a lot of different companies including some large law firms.
Literally had one asshole lawyer put in tickets every time which consisted of something like:
"There's something wrong on my computer. I'll be away from my desk from 6:22 to 6:27, have it fixed by the time I get back."
Queue nothing getting fixed and this removed trying to leverage that as a reason why their law firm of 250 people didn't need IT services.
In my experience, younger people who grew up with the internet write their texts and emails as if they are instant messaging, because they grew up with AOL and MSN messenger etc when it comes to text based communication.
Older people who communicated over text before the internet only did this in one way - writing letters.
As a result their style of texting or emailing is often very long form in comparison.
When writing letters you are limited by how much room there is on a piece of paper.
This leads to using some shorthand which used to be fairly common, but has fallen out of public knowledge for younger people.
You could argue that some of the stuff that younger people email or text informally can be just as cryptic because there is entirely different shorthand that millenials and generations Y and Z use.
If you closely examine how you casually communicate with your peers of a similar age, you will notice it can be just as odd as what you experience from communicating with generations on either side of you.
