Yeah I could see it being left like this for an hour or so while someone finds out what the actual security configurations are supposed to be, during which time it wouldn't have any data in it. But to leave it like this for any period of time is ridiculous and to release it like this is criminal.

Even an AI wouldn't do something this stupid.

Every piece of information it its data set about Firebase would have told it to secure the database.

In fairness if you leave Firebase in its default settings it won't shut up about it.

You get warnings on the website, and constant emails telling you that you're being a pillocked.

How does that work if I've still got a dead-end job though?

How is this hypothetical child being raised? Are we talking Capri sun here or Tropicana. Do they get an iPad?

It might simply be my my use patterns but in my experience they tend to require a battery replacement in that time. Apple charged so much for the replacements it's often not really worth it unless you get some guy in a strip mall to do it

Well everyone says, and has said for years, that the best phone would run iOS but with the hardware innovations of Android phones.

Hell we're on the 7th generation of foldables and Apple still hasn't got one. I get they're not for everyone, and that's fine, but they should have the option.

If Apple offered an iPad that I could fold up and put in my pocket I might actually consider switching over. I'm not particularly bothered by iOS on a phone but iPad OS on a foldable phone I'm pretty sure that would sound like hotcakes even if it was 3K.

What do you think iCloud is for? Do you they are just be nice offering a cloud storage solution, or do you think maybe they get something out of it?

It only works on pixel devices though right.

Apple absolutely does spy on their customers. They've just taken this clever approach where they say they don't, and for some bizarre reason everyone just accepts it.

They probably don't spy as much as Google does, but let's face it they're definitely collecting info.

Does Mark Zuckerberg care about improving humanity? He's never previously shown much interest in the subject.

It's like watching a slow motion train wreck.

Either this turns out to be a giant boondoggle (which personally I think is the most likely case) in which case there's going to be an enormous crash

Or we actually get AGI out of all of this and then it promptly kills us all.
