The No paywall link doesn’t work for me. I get a “404 Not Found,” and when I go to their main page I get a generic “Sorry! If you are the owner of this website, please contact your hosting provider.”
Anyone else having this issue? Removepaywalls.com was working fine for me up until about a week or two ago.
I get the 404 error on this page and with most links to removepaywalls.com. Disabling uBlock doesn’t help.
I usually throw the URL in archive.is and that’s good enough for me. Yes, the owner is sketchy and petty, but apparently that spite does a good job powering the service.
Having no issues with the Bypass Paywalls Clean addon. It’s so good, it got removed from: the Mozilla add-on store, GitLab, and Github (which is why it’s now hosted on the Russian GitFlic).
Odd article. It’s halfway speculative: a better title is “what if always-on recording devices spy on everybody around them and not just the person wearing them?” A bit long, maybe.
The article makes this All About AI by focusing on
- AI recording devices specifically, like the joke product “Friend” (the Atlantic never mentions this one by name, I presume out of embarrassment) or an upcoming piece of Apple hardware that IIRC has been fraught with development issues from the beginning
- AI noise cancellation algorithms, which they note have been around since 2020 and barely register to the average person as AI unless you’re writing some long-form speculation piece
I dunno, I’m more worried about the microphone in my own computer, not somebody across the room rambling into a battery-powered pendant.
