If this is something meant for a general audience why are you using "edge-tech?" If this is for industry professionals why are you posting it here?

I couldn't even get it to do anything indicating it was functional on my laptop.

*people associated with counterculture and anarchists who also have thousands of dollars of discretionary income.

infamous: adjective

    1. Having an exceedingly bad reputation; notorious.
    "an infamous outlaw."
    2. Causing or deserving severe public condemnation; heinous.

Yeah, they knew what it meant.

As I understand Spotify et al may do something a bit more sophisticated, but the traditional model for podcast analytics purely tracks downloads, which could very well be your client auto-downloading a subscribed episode you never play. I don't think anyone actually has visibility of "listens". And the traditional model for ad sales is a creator (or an agent on their behalf) emailing a brand "Hey, we make this podcast which gets X monthly downloads, want to buy an ad read?" I think they usually point to iTunes store rankings to somewhat support these claims but again, iTunes just tracks downloads. (Obviously, this is all rife for fraud.)

nothing remotely like the described demo in the video you linked.

the blog post linked from there with remediation instructions, however, does not.

"Privacy's Defender" eh? Rather grandiose title considering that defense has been an abject historical failure.

(Not to suggest the EFF has not waged a valiant effort regardless.)

Dunno what you're quoting but it's not the linked issue.

> The only only pure fuck-up I'd call out is switching from third to first person when referring to OpenAI in the same sentence (No. 4).

"We" in this sentence refers to both parties; "they" refers to OpenAI. Not a grammatical error.

> "We" in this sentence refers to both parties

Fair enough.

> "they" refers to OpenAI. Not a grammatical error

I'd say it is. It's a press release from OpenAI. The rest of the release uses the third-person "they" to refer to Microsoft. The LLM traded accuracy for a bad joke, which is someting I associate with LinkedIn speak.

The fundmaental problem might be the OpenAI press release is vague. (And changing. It's changed at least once since I first commented.)

In isolation sure. But in context with the other points it makes it look like "they" refers to Microsoft in all the dot points.

> iOS has also had the tapping-phones-to-connect feature baked in for years (NameDrop) Well that's just because I have no idea how to find it. The "share contact?" prompt when you text a new number accomplishes the same I guess but it would be nice to skip the number part.
