The crazy part of this is that LG did not fear flat out admitting they do fingerprint the audio of what you watch. I already knew that, but I can't imagine it's common knowledge yet. How long ago was it that that would have been t

Okay that kicks the can down the road, but what will we do twenty years from now?

On the other hand I'm not sure someone else's prompt is even worth my time. It's a half-baked thought they didn't feel like putting their own effort into developing. It's like reading a tweet.

It will not kill people in a sci-fi type war with its own intention. I wish that conversation would go away. It will kill people by being an efficient tool that can be used by other people to accelerate various avenues of predation and oppr

The rich were so successful in manipulating people with culture wars like "women shouldn't work" that the people who fell for it still don't realize the real war was them losing the economic standing in which it was viab

Another way to look at it is that when adults are back in charge, we can trust tech companies will fall in line with them too.

It's incredible, how stupid they think we are.

I can't believe people are letting themselves be taken for a ride so shortly after seeing what happened with streaming subscriptions.

We have better platforms, most people are just too passive to switch. The masses should stay where they are so as not to invade and pollute the newer and better communities with the same problems that inevitably come with high scale.

It's a split between user expirences that do and don't optimize for rage and culture wars and engagement bait. If there's also a de facto red vs. blue split, it's due to which community gravitates to which model of what

Nobody who isn't already falling for the "promises" of AI is going to fall for word games like this.

Maintaining AI code is the new maintaining offshore code. I don't envy software engineers who are far from retirement.

I thought electing an outsider with theretofore no experience nor interest in governing was supposed to break the system in a good way so as to erase the incumbent problems and rebuild with common sense and integrity.

There's no reason that one's feelings about AI can't supersede their feelings about open source. We all live with a complex tapestry of values.

It's clearly part of the AI endgame that conversational AI output will sell an undisclosed promoted slant where possible. The money will not be left on the table. Regulation effectively no longer exists.

At a minimum, if it was going to be legal why could they not have restricted the advertising like we do with tobacco ads? At this point the sports broadcasts themselves are advertisements.

The only Dyson product I've used is the hand dryer in public bathrooms. I don't know if part of its purpose is to sell people on the brand, but it has the opposite effect on me because I hate using them. Regular old hand dryers wo
