I want to hard agree with Apple that people are, in fact, too stupid to choose their own apps, but not following Apple’s greedy logic.
Look at the top apps and sites people use. The tech billionaires. It’s stupid as hell

There’s “vs no ladder” but there’s also “vs no dam”
Problem is that predators have learned to wait at the entrance and exit for easier meals
Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River - You can tour the dam and from inside there are windows to watch fish travel up the ladder. They seasonally recruit people to monitor and count to get a rough estimate of fish population. You can also watch from above. It’s amazing.


At least in the US, I’m absolutely destroyed that people just don’t care. They talk like they care, but they just fucking don’t. I don’t get it at all. They will gripe about how evil and bad something is, then just keep using it. “If everyone else is, so will I” maybe. Group Inertia.


I took my dad for cancer radiation treatment. While in the waiting room, this little old lady came in. I saw her struggling to remove a necklace and offered to help. She had really tangled herself in it trying to get it on (definitely in a “chemo brain” mind fog).
She answered her phone, and I heard a very obvious scam on the other line. I tried telling her, and at first she tried to explain to me that I was wrong, it was some kind helpful people. I took the phone from her and confirmed it was a scam. I told the staff at the clinic but that was about all I figured I could do.
This Ai maybe could have helped. Maybe.

I meant that fabrication doesn’t imply intent as “lies” would.
It seems like you use the hallucinations term correctly, when output has no relation to input.
In this case, as in many numerous others, the Ai took input of “cite a source” and did as output cite a source as requested, but invented the content of the source. It fabricated, which means to make up, create.
Fabricate does not imply intent to deceive, where lie does.
I will agree that if the output is purely unrelated to the input, hallucination is still fine, but is absolutely a romanticized term when we’re referring to this computer generated code… It’s literally personification.


I like fabrication going forward. Clearly made up, doesn’t imply intent


What they should do is convince a smaller subsection of reddit users to break off to a new site, maybe entice them with promises of a FOSS platform. Maybe a handful of real people and all the rest LLM bots. They’ll never know


They’re all preparing to remove choice as we start to lose competition due to Trump Economy


Works better to satisfy shareholders?


“my account got hacked”
No, you gave someone your information they used to log in.


So here’s my uneducated question: Don’t huge software companies like this usually do updates in “rollouts” to a small portion of users (companies) at a time?
In this case, someone would have to sue or otherwise intervene. But that action is radically unpopular. Nobody wants to be that guy.
