…because of anxiety from doomscrolling and notifications

Every generation needs to learn what microsoft is all over again, but they only learn the hard way.

Anybody know if it is hard to make a synthetic voice, just like you can make a synthetic face or synthetic music? Or is that the point: that a synthetic voice ended up sounding like her?

Apparently, that causes radio interference, but I don’t think it lasts that long (days to hours)

Nothing, but then you could patent it and license it to anyone but elon :) are you motivated yet?

If after all this shit we end up with retarded AI and lose libgen in the process, we’ll end up with less than we started with…

At this point, it is just part of the corporate innovation cycle: first you make money by creating better products, once the tech matures and the gains in engineering are marginal, you move focus to sales and try to gain market. Then when the market is saturated, you move your focus to finance, aquisitions and cost-trimming.

From this pov, it looks like google got caught flat-footed (when it was moving from sales to finance) by a tech breakthrough and seems to be in “manage the shit out of this” mode, when now what they needed was to go back to an engineering focus, but by now it is too late, because the company already alienated the most dedicated engineers and can’t get them back while still in sales/finance focus.

Une democracie ne cesse pas d’être une démocratie seulement à cause de pas respecter le droit international, mais à cause de perdre la légitimité de la représentacion populaire ou de perdre institutions comme la séparation des pouvoirs ou l’état de droit.

I’m comparing Malthus’ overpopulation to a white supremacist who supposedly invented the tragedy of commons. Sounds similar. Overpopulation can happen in some societies e.g. Easter Island, but is not everywhere the cause of most ills.

Remember kids, never place buttons for a service on a remote if you don’t know if the remote will last longer than said service :)

It can be a reductive approach if you look at the world exclusively through those glasses, but the effect the expression alludes to exists in very specific circumstances e.g. street cleaning, overfishing, pollution. It’s like saying overpopulation is not a thing because that social darwinist Malthus was the first to refer to it.

This is such a disinfo nightmare, imagine if it was trained (prompting would be easier actually) to spread high quality data with strategically planted lies to maximize harmful confident incorrectness.

And they are serving lots of ads under the radar and shaping their tastes by intermixing the ads seamlessly with entertainment to bypass our advertisement “antibodies”. Sometimes I find some of them saying things and having interests I’ve never known they had only to find their feed randomly peppered with these interlopers.

It’s the most annoying thing of these enthusiasts: they glorify cryptocurrencies and blockchain while glossing over the massively important and actually useful cryptography discipline in the background.
