The expectation is that they are going to go for US POCs next is that right? I don’t hear people talk about it so I don’t know if I’m the only one who sees it this way.

I usually like these comics. This one made me wonder whether there’s something wrong if men see women like that. As beings that know uniformly how to judge what a good man is. A form of objectification perhaps? A bit like how some people used to think Melania needs to be defended from her husband and can’t herself be that bad. Nothing wrong with the comic but I guess it just made me uncomfortable at another level than that of the main joke.

I understood it more as Musk betraying his previous fanbase. Those that used to think that he was a positive force, investing in cool things. Before he revealed himself as a deranged asshole.

(Or Warcraft) Basically by profession rather than with their first names.

It’s what I used to think of Dota character names (compared to their lol counterparts).

Is this site legit? I just got a popup telling me I had a virus on my phone and I should click on the button to remove it. With a countdown from 3 minutes.

Yes but the power of it is that you can in effect refine your search using natural language, like talking to a person, as it remembers the last 2-3 exchanges.

And it presents the information the way you asked to see it.

For example (my side of the “conversation”):

• What is hamas?
• Compared to Hezbollah?
• what are the differences between Shia and Sunni?

The citations confirm the information, they are not the end goal. The added value is the fact that the information is pre-digested and presented in a way that matches my learning process. It’s a lot easier for me to assimilate information by getting answers to questions that I’ve asked.

The one in Skype works quite well and is usually not blocked by companies firewalls… Or so I’ve heard…

As far as I know Google and Bing return AI results just above the usual web page results.

In addition AI LLM tools like Copilot (the mobile app) and Perplexity which cite their sources with links to websites really make it easier to weed out the BS from LLM answers, if you use them carefully. In my case, these tools replace search engines in 80% of the searches that I do.

I never said that art will necessarily come from AI in its current form but it’s true that it’s what I had in mind. You basically expressed something very similar to what I meant in your last paragraph.

And yes I do love pencil drawing :)

But I’m more thinking about conceptual artists with decades of work behind them that I can imagine will create art using these AI tools that will transcend what the average Joe/Jane is producing with these tools right now. To produce something that will shock, move us, make us think.

There are so many different facets to art.

It’s a tool. Artists will learn how to use it to create art.

Exactly.

And India doesn’t have chillies add Italy doesn’t have tomatoes… Where do we stop?

Thanks!

Then what do people mean when they say normal soap and antibacterial soap and how does that affect what I should be using after handling raw meat or just going to the toilets etc?

They should’ve said “all other inhabitants” to remove the ambiguity.

Are you really getting updates though? Samsung latest phones are expected to be getting updates for 7 years but as far as I know the s10 range isn’t officially supported anymore. Samsung don’t need to provide security updates to your phone anymore. I think the last one was Q4 of 2023 and it made the news because it was unexpected.

You could also read it differently nowadays 15 years later with all the emissions scandal. Probably wouldn’t want to trust Volkswagen with such statements huh.

What’s “wrong” in your question is the assumption that a) the only reason religions exist is the lack of knowledge and b) that the knowledge we have answers all the questions that people seek answers to when they turn to religion. I think if you question these assumptions then you’ll easily start to find the answers. Otherwise see all the other comments.

This article really sounds like it describes an alternate reality to me. Interesting to see how many people in the comments seem to hate self checkouts but here in the UK they seem to work fine. Shops seem to have found the right balance. In the same shop you’ll have queues advancing rapidly at self checkouts and people run tills with shorter queues for customers who prefer the human interaction.

Do a lot of people put their voice on the internet “as much as they’re able to”? It sounds like that person may post their voice online more than the average person…
