Funny how that works, so in Musk’s view, the “good things” are thanks to Grok, the “bad things” are thanks to the input data

The second half of the article goes into that a bit. Seems like some reviewers were also grouped into that program before, and the terms weren’t like this before.

The Verge spoke with other independent reviewers and freelance tech journalists who say that they were grouped into the Team Pixel program for review units in the past. For those in the latter group, the new stipulation is a threat to their integrity and livelihood. Matlock says he’s since quit the Team Pixel program over the new terms.

YouTuber Kevin Nether, who runs The Tech Ninja channel, also says the clause led him to quit the Team Pixel program. “As someone who reviews technology for a living, I work with many brands. To be cornered into using one product — that doesn’t work for me, and that’s nothing I want to participate in.”

Nether echoes that he’s never seen this kind of stipulation in previous Team Pixel surveys. Usually, he says, the survey gauges a creator’s interest in various topics, like sports or fashion, to identify areas for collaboration. In the past, he says he’s made it clear to Team Pixel representatives that outside an obligatory post, he will review the device as normal. Nether also says this exclusivity term is atypical. Usually, when brands demand exclusivity from creators or brand ambassadors, they’ll offer payment, have clear disclosure rules, and have limited timelines.

Either Google changed the focus of the program, or the intent wasn’t clear enough in previous years

If you read to the end, the article mentions that the first time Ferst tried to get sterilized (and her old doctor was being difficult) she still had a male partner. I think she’s bisexual.

Who the fuck ever said that the vaccine was necessary for the survival of most of the population?

For most of us this was about contributing to herd immunity for the benefit of those who were at risk of permanent injury or death from covid, and about lowering the personal risk of going through a bad infection yourself.

The techradar article is terrible, the techcrunch article is better, the Flow website has some detail.

But overall I have to say I don’t believe them. You can’t just make threads independent if they logically have dependencies. Or just remove cache coherency latency by removing caches.

Ew “Difendere la famiglia tradizionale” under a blonde anime girl makes me want to hurl.

If they are a company for grown ups why is he acting all controlling like an insecure little child instead of trusting in his employees like a brave adult?

In schools? How is this even still an open question? I thought the debate had at least moved on to whether parents should be allowed to hurt their children, even in the US.
