Russia and Belarus make sense, but not inviting Iran? There are far worse governments out there than Iran…

A few massive differences:

  • You opt-in to targeted tracking with Apple. It’s impossible to opt-out with Google. Apple also enforces per-app opt-in for tracking.

  • Apple use your data, but they don’t sell it on

  • Apple features protect you from 3rd party tracking at a software level (Private Relay) and hardware level (MAC randomisation)

For the same reason you need a licence in most places to install fire and security systems. If you make a mistake, people can die.

American pharmaceutical ads are weird. I guess I’m just not free enough to understand them?

Yea, but not really. The algorithms are available for free, but they don’t do anything useful by themselves. The RNN is built by training the neural net, which uses grading/classification of training data to increase or decrease millions of coefficients of a multi-layer filter. It’s the training data, the classification feedback and the processing power that actually creates the AI.

I thought it was kinda like the bookshelf in a hostel. You try to drop-off a book you’ve finished, and take a book you haven’t read.
