True, but then the data about me you have are useless if you only look at them.

Marketing data is always kept close by the owners but they sell access or the data would be worthless.

If the original company wants information about you, they don’t download everything from a marketing company. Like using Google, you type in your search and get a result. That search result is used and forgotten. You don’t have to download all of Google to use the results.

The 3rd party wouldn’t be fined because if you knew who they were, you could send them a Gdpr and they would respond. The problem is knowing who these companies are.

It was in beta for weeks yet it was coincidentally ready to come out of beta 18hrs after Epic.

Yeah the beta was done. But it’s awfully coincidental that they released it out of beta 18 hours after Epic.

Access to data isn’t the same as having data. You can watch a YouTube video but that doesn’t mean you downloaded it and have it.

So AI got Steam to get off their ass and update their client. Good job AI!

I don’t have any data. A third party has your data. But you don’t know that.

I never claimed that it was, quantum computers are still experimental.

Yet you linked the article that made that statement and then refuted it!

Quote from the article you linked:

https://qt.eu/applications/how-your-smartphone-uses-quantum-mechanics

Where it gives an example of how your phone uses quantum mechanics.

which was explained by Albert Einstein by introducing quanta of light,

Yes a photon. Light is photons. The light from a caveman fire is photons. I already explained that.

We sold it to a third party you’ll never find that shares it back to us for free as part of the contract we have with them.

So we don’t have any of your data.

Read your own links!

First link: “But your smartphone is not a quantum computer, yet”

The title was a question. The answer the article you linked gave was “it doesn’t use quantum.”

The second link was describing regular effects as having quantum origins. Which is everything! Everything everywhere has a basis in quantum mechanics.

"Radio waves are photons, and their behavior is described by quantum electrodynamics. "

Yes, underpinning the entire universe is quantum mechanics. The light from a campfire is photons. No one would write an article saying, “Cavemen used a sophisticated quantum light source.”

Your claim was that smartphone motion sensors were quantum. You linked to Wikipedia about quantum sensors which did not say anything about phone sensors.

Apple and all phone manufacturers say they use mems motion sensors.

You were wrong. Get over yourself.

And read the links you provide as proof.

If the device doesn’t use quantum effects directly, it isn’t a quantum sensor.

Otherwise words have no meaning and textbooks would call 1860’s steam engines electric quantum engines because materials are held together with electric effects and atoms have quantum properties.

The data is there, but it’s not in what those companies say.

You can’t argue from the premise of conspiracy. Are they exaggerating? Maybe? But you absolutely cannot state with confidence that you know a huge secret hidden from all Wall Street analysts.

$20B loss on $50B revenue are the numbers that Wall Street thinks is correct. That’s the data you have to go off of without unsupported conspiracies.

This is where I’m just like, skill issue.

Well that’s everything. If you are an expert you can do it quickly and accurately. Everyone else needs to take more time and will make mistakes. Word Processing software means a single typo doesn’t ruin ten minutes of typing. It enabled regular people without skill to type well enough to do the work themselves.

Maybe but you have to work with the data you have, not the data you want to see.

Imagining that the enemy is on the brink of collapse isn’t a good mind set when you are fighting something. It encourages laziness.

Typing quickly on a mechanical typewriter is a skill not easily mastered. It’s not just the typing, it is the extreme accuracy needed. There’s no backspace and no cut and paste. A letter covered in white out isn’t acceptable.

That’s just making one person do the job of more than one.

Capitalism has been doing that long before LLM’S.

That’s just making one person do the job of more than one.

How do you call bs on one person doing the work that used to take two? It was one person and an intern.

Every company had a secretary pool 60 years ago before word processors allowed people to type by themselves without an extra support person.

I don’t use it but my wife uses it for spreadsheet equations. She has to verifiy and test every answer but then so would anything written by an intern.

So yeah, AI is killing jobs, not in an individual sense, but in aggregate like spreadsheet software did 50 years ago when before that all work was done by hand.

Are you willing to pay 10x what you pay right now

They lost $20B on $50B revenue. That means they only need to double the price to make up the loss and have a profit.
