Your last point is the most important one in my opinion. OP implied we have to chose between nuclear and solar/wind but it’s plain false.

Also, LLMs are trained on SO data. It remains a staple for coding, LLMs just reinforced that.

We have known for more than a decade now that training machine learning models on huge user data sets allows to predict a lot of things with decent accuracy.

Twitter has been gathering a lot of data on all of its user, it is expected them to be able to predict interests like (and much more) this if you use their service.

Probably because it’s not newsworthy as it’s systematic, for instance Facebook and Googke have had to pay ever ibcreasing fines for GDPR violation, now exceeding a billion dollar, and get in line with the regulation, or get forbidden to opperate in the EU.

They have been getting those fines for years with a delay of a couple of months to pay them. They would have been barred from the EU long ago if they had not paid them.

Same for “Security Considerations” lmao

The technique they use does not really change to the issue.

It’s also not necessarily more secure than third party cookies like you claim? You can refuse those cookies and not all website use them, while all website ends up in browsing history.

Reddit had narwhals and midnight, we have strict dietary guidelines.

You have to remember that APIs were used massively by third party apps users.

I don’t see a reason to attribute the API related drop more to automation than users stopping browsing reddit because third party app ban.

As they say, from number 2 army in the world to number 2 army in Ukraine.

Now with a risk of becoming number 2 army in Russia…

The terms “super power” and “code ninja” takes a lot of the offers credibility in my eye.
