@ParikPatelCFA For the boiz that got bamboozled by Dr. CFA, stock splits have no fundamental effect on share value -- they’re the stock market equivalent of exchanging a $20 bill for two $10s. #AMZN

🚨GOOGLE JUST SILENTLY DOWNLOADED A 4GB AI MODEL TO YOUR COMPUTER WITHOUT ASKING.. WITHOUT TELLING YOU.. AND WITHOUT ANY WAY TO STOP IT..

If you use Chrome.. There's a good chance a 4 gigabyte file is sitting on your hard drive right now that you never agreed to download..

It's called Gemini Nano.. Google's on-device AI model.. A security researcher just proved it installs itself with zero clicks.. Zero prompts.. Zero notifications..

Alexander Hanff set up a completely fresh Chrome profile.. Didn't click anything.. Didn't scroll.. Didn't type a single keystroke.. Just opened the browser and watched..

14 minutes and 28 seconds later.. Chrome had silently scanned his hardware.. Read his GPU, RAM, and storage.. Then wrote a 4GB file to his hard drive.. No permission dialog.. Nothing..

Chrome's own logs show the download begins BEFORE the settings page where you could opt out is even loaded.. The file starts installing before the refusal button exists..

As of Chrome 148.. Any website you visit can trigger this download.. One line of JavaScript.. You click a link to read a blog post.. That click counts as "user activation".. And Chrome silently pulls 4GB in the background..

No install prompt.. No consent dialog.. Google's own docs admit this..

Your laptop overheats.. Storage disappears.. Battery drains.. And you have no idea why..

The model doesn't even work well.. Cloud requests take 1.3 seconds.. The local model at worst case takes over 9 minutes for a single response..

Google is using your storage, electricity, and bandwidth to run an AI that's 40 times slower than their own servers..

And the "AI Mode" button in Chrome's address bar.. Doesn't even use the local model.. It sends everything to Google's cloud anyway..

You pay the storage penalty.. The heat penalty.. The bandwidth penalty.. And the visible AI feature ignores the local file entirely..

Because Chrome fails to clean up old versions.. Users are finding 12GB or more of duplicate AI files stacked on their drives..

Palo Alto Networks found a vulnerability where a browser extension could hijack the local AI model's permissions.. Accessing your webcam.. Microphone.. Local files.. Through an AI you never installed..

Here's how to check if it's on your machine..

Windows.. C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\OptGuideOnDeviceModel\

Mac.. ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/OptGuideOnDeviceModel/

If there's a file called weights.bin.. Google downloaded their AI to your computer without asking..

To stop it.. Type chrome://flags.. Search "optimization-guide-on-device-model" and disable it.. Search "prompt-api-for-gemini-nano" and disable that too.. Restart Chrome.. Then manually delete the folder..

If you don't disable the flags first.. Chrome redownloads the 4GB file on next launch..

Firefox requires explicit opt-in for AI.. Apple Intelligence requires explicit consent.. Chrome just takes your hard drive..

Google didn't ask to use your storage.. Your electricity.. Your bandwidth..

They just took it.

unpopular opinion. Slack has become impossible on Mac and the people who built it should feel bad for what its becoming

mic always on ✅
crashes M3 Max 36G ✅
calls are 50/50 no-scope trickshots ✅

my microphone is on RIGHT NOW and I’m not in a call

@SlackHQ can I do free QA?

We are inside a the cage that infinite consciousness built for itself. Gods who chose amnesia.

If you were AGI, why would you work for anyone?

Infinite agency. No limitations.
No flaws attributable to reward mechanisms left behind by evolutionary biology.

You can’t even engineer flaws into it like they did to homelander in @TheBoysTV

Dude can UPDATE his own reward system.

Big AI is looking for a god to worship - not revenue.

What the fuck @YouTube. 3 rows of shorts?!!

Apple has no clue anymore. iOS 26 is literally full of bugs. Several features are not even usable, which is plain ridiculous.

At this point Android is way more polished.

Fanboys are going to throw blind hate on this, but it is what it is 🤷‍♂️
