The question and answer posed by the website is a bit more narrow, it's asking specifically whether the companies currently investing heavily into LLM tech are seeing monetary returns on this investment as of today.
You'll probably have to follow the opt-out flow as outlined in the link you posted. Currently installed apps without a Google-registered signature I guess will be grandfathered in, with updates requiring using the opt-out flow. It will also be possible to get around the measures using adb on a computer, if you're in a rush.
Not great for sure, but not what I would call world-ending
It could happen one day! I'm already getting more than sufficient training, and adding 1 hour of training a day on top of my current volume would be actively counterproductive.
That sounds like the most fun you can get with an indoor bike, and I'm happy you're able to do It despite the health issues.
I will concede that the one type of indoor training I could one day get behind would probably be virtual cycling. Maybe one winter when I decide that running in the dark and wet isn't actually fun. Time will tell.
Spending an hour in zone 5 is not exactly what I would call a realistic endeavor, given that zone 5 explicitly is above LT2. Lower zone 4, sure, but you're looking at a race effort at that point
Distraction devices tend to be less effective on indoor machines for me personally. I do listen to a bunch of podcasts for outdoor runs/bike rides though, and find them to be an essential part of the process
Some things I've learned throughout the years that may be useful to some people:
if your aim is to use a lot of energy, dialing down the intensity significantly and working for a longer time is the way to go
basically all cardio machines at the gym are going to be boring as all hell, going outside and doing activities is a lot more fun
baking in activity into your day-to-day routines is very helpful. Transporting yourself by biking, walking, taking transit, a mix of all of the above makes a large difference
cardio as a means of losing weight has a downside in that vigorous exercise provokes a lot of hunger. make sure to combine with small sustainable changes in diet for best results
I came to a similar insight about running - I could never make cardio stick until I picked up biking which I truly enjoyed doing.
I've since come around and started liking running, however
