@chastizer2010@Rainmaker1973 Never mind, I think what they actually use them for is just a remote desktop into a open claw or similar harness running natively on the Mac Minis, and then basically just doing automation and tool calls etc for whatever purposes
BREAKING: Apple is suing OpenAI, accusing it and its hardware chief of a coordinating trade secret theft campaign to help build its upcoming suite of AI devices.
@trek_porter@SexyJedi@AriDrennen That person does not give a fuck about anything, except making it clear that they believe everyone else to be morally inferior to them 🤣
@kingh020@SoufParkMack@ScottWarner18@Walmart And because Apple charges to use their payment network. Yeah. And every retailer wants that data, it’s very valuable. But it’s also useful. I can see a history of every product I’ve ever purchased from Walmart in my Walmart app. I can easily re-order, etc.
@ScottWarner18@Walmart You know you can just use the Walmart app, add your card to there, and scan and pay at the register with your phone still, right?
@SexyJedi@PRFlanagan@AriDrennen There is no “journalism” — mainstream media outlets exist and operate at massive losses in order to service governments and intelligence agencies. That’s really it.
@SexyJedi@PRFlanagan@AriDrennen That would be the first thing I would get, and make sure I had the data saved in a safe place, even if I didn’t want to go to the cops, for whatever reason. Maybe she does have it. But we sure af can’t see it, at least not at this point!
@SexyJedi@PRFlanagan@AriDrennen I can tell. By the way, she says this happened five years ago. Pretty much everybody I know had ring cameras and surveillance cameras five years ago. Funny how she doesn’t have video of him driving their drunk like she claims. Or letting himself in, coming up the stairs, etc.
