Yes. The Gamers Nexus video points out that in some cases LG makes more money from selling your behaviour to ad partners, than on the hardware itself.

Lots of news sites aren't AI written; or if AI is involved, it's not as blatant as in this article. The 'papers of record' largely remain AI-free. You increasingly have to pay for good journalism.

You don’t need to for its quick check, which shows the core feature.

This is too simplistic an argument re utilitarianism. It assumes torture definitely works, and that there’s no further consequences. Many utilitarians might say “no” too, given that there is no persuasive evidence that torture is a superior

Very cool. "The resulting map is strongest in well-sampled regions, less certain where samples are sparse. Read more about mapping uncertainty here." I can't access the paper to see what countries were actually sampled. The i

But the S&P500 is ~half AI anyway! At least by market cap. What’s your idea of investing in AI?

Don’t be so hard on yourself; the poorly designed glass door did that for you already.

Cool. Just to note, the video demos Playbook, the proposed replacement for OSTPV. Here’s OSTPV: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s2gUOV3KK2k

“easily-offended / agitating”? Hmm. There’s lots of good reasons to convert golf courses to low-cost housing, or use the recycled water for something else. Expand irrigation of parks, recharge groundwater, create wetlands, create dual

We installed our dishwasher at hip height, with the cupboard for clean dishes directly above. Bending down is a thing of the past. The two dishwashers idea is neat, but the cupboard capacity is greater than that of a second dishwasher; and

And yet millions of people still play the lottery. I don’t think it’s as simple as uncertainty. Nobody wants to change their lifestyle to avert climate change. People prefer carrots to sticks.

But then it wouldn’t work on a touchscreen, and it wouldn’t go viral.

Your evidence seems very anecdata. The graphite.io study does make an effort to quantify the false positive and false negative rates of the three detectors, rather than just saying “they work”. They generate 2000 ai articles and ask the det

What you’re seeing is the result of the USA voting in a party and president that made it clear beforehand that they were going to install puppet civil servants to do their will. Most other developed countries have avoided this scenario.

Those sources don’t claim Anthropic is crossing its red lines (AI-controlled weapons and mass domestic surveillance of American citizens).

Other countries with good systems also have such people. America’s crime rate is far lower than the 1990s; the impression that you live in a crime-infested world is likely increased media coverage. I think the real reason the US has poor pu

But the above criteria are mostly subjective, so objectivity largely doesn’t apply.

No, the plasma forms a teardrop shape around small craft like Orion, completely cutting off radio comms. Larger craft like starship or the shuttle which have a roughly cylindrical shape (vs Orion’s circular cross section) aren’t fully enclo

This feels like an AI-generated list of products with no actual hands-on time to let me get a feel if any of the services actually work vs their feature list. Revising the language/structure to not reek of AI would make me think more c

I agree that attenborough’s documentaries are carefully composed, presumably to be suitable for a British family audience of the 1970s. You seem to uncharitably ascribe intentional malice to this approach rather than it being a product of i

More informed by that comment, really? Did you read this[0]? As someone disinterested in the topic, the controversy seems very overblown and a knee jerk response. His position seems to have been pretty consistent over time. [0]: https:&#x2

Your framing is interesting. You may feel that you can’t change who you are in real life, but people have a choice on how they behave online (or choose not to engage at all). So you could choose to be nice (or at least not a jerk); I’m pret

The V&A has not just acquired the video, but reconstructed a version of the page, as it would have looked in 2006...The V&A said the video is now considered “a foundational moment in the rise of user-generated content”. It said the

You could look at this in at least two different ways. 1) journalism, and how it’s a better story if the kid is a self-contained genius; or 2) having youth be thankful for mentoring, and to understand little in life is achieved without oth
