When Google started putting ads at the top of their search results that looks exactly like the organic search results (only differentiated with a tiny "Ad" label) is when they truly lost me. Everything up until that point I could

While I don't disagree with your stance on cryptocurrency companies, comparing them with ChatGPT, the latest sensation, is a clear example of survivorship bias. There will always be a super successful company at the top of the market.

That is indeed a concern, but I've found that if you act in good faith and kindness most of the time, but just throw in a tiny bit of skepticism, you can filter out such abuse most of the time. It's not a good idea to go though li

Funny enough, it only checked about half the logo, meaning you could change the bottom half to something else.

Usually when there is a two-step process needed for something to evolve, then there is often an advantage to one of the steps in isolation that isn't easily apparent, or the advantage it gave might have been lost to time.

When two AIs talk to each other they often end up developing their own private language.

At least until it also starts converting gifs to webm, and soon other formats like mp4, and since it's being used for video it needs subtitle support in various languages.

The power imbalance between the company and the worker is too great for this to practically work out. When a company loses a worker, it's a small inconvenience until they get replaced, but when a worker loses their job it might mean lo

The funny thing is that corporations have a bunch of advantages like limited liability on top of the US Supreme court ruling them to have the same rights as people, which means that corporations actually have more rights than regular people

Can somebody explain this to me? When Microsoft adds something like this, to the very valuable visual prime real estate taskbar, which is always visible at all times, why do they not include the option to remove it? Do they simply not think

Imagine I sued you on the basis that the house you are living in is stolen and isn't yours to inhabit. Would it be fair that you can't live there while a lengthy court process figures out the truth? In special cases, the judge can

If the database is distributed you have no way of enforcing that the other peers don't keep shadow copies of the data that is supposed to be deleted. If you know you can trust all your peers to act in good faith, then you might as well

It always said chromium, but I find that people actually mean "chrome but open source" when they say "chromium", when that's not really the case at all.

Chrome is not fully open source, so any fork would be somewhat reduced.

Here is how I'd game the system: I'd sue somebody (like a neighbor) for violating my rights in some way. Then I'd bring a really bad lawyer to court, and take a 50/50 chance on giving that lawyer to my opponent. If I end

It can be a bad thing and still the best option you got, a lesser of two evils. I don't think anybody should lose out on a opportunity because some minority quota needs to be filled, but I also don't think minorities and discrimin

At this point of time anything that isn't a sharp spike downwards is welcome.

It will create e-waste in the short term, and reduce e-waste in the long term. Did you disagree with my explanation or simply not understand it?

Is emotional manipulation a good thing if it has positive outcomes? What about torture, is torture with positive outcomes a good thing for society? Why stop there, what about killing people without a trial, if we can find enough positive ou

If we stay trapped in a local maximum we can never ever improve our situation because any improvement will realistically come at some cost. Can't replace old diesel trucks with green fuel trucks because the act of replacing them causes

Deodorant became popular after advertisements started emotionally negging people by implying that they were stinky and everybody around them were laughing behind their back. Connecting products to interested customers often involve manipula

You'd indirectly reveal what those keywords are to Meta by which ads are being requested. If an ad for a sex toy is being requested, it's pretty obvious what the two parties are talking about.

Your point is good but the direction of your contempt is misplaced. Lottery winners accounts for a tiny fraction of people who have unearned and undeserved wealth, and in terms of how many people they screwed over to get to riches, they are

Couldn't somebody ask the same about getting interest rate on their savings? Why spend money when you can use the money to grow more money?

That's a fair point. But if we are including second order chains in our evaluation then we pretty much need everything at all times everywhere, to operate society. Magnets are just as important as food for basic survival under this mod

I disagree. First of all, there exists physical entertainment. For example, my family loves to play cards after a big family dinner. Second of all, it's just not as important. Lack of entertainment will cause a society to break down ov

Digital goods are exclusively luxury goods, while all the basic necessities that keeps our society running such as food, water, medicine and shelter are physical. From this, it's quite obvious to infer that physical goods are more usef

Then make me sign a contract that exchanges the service for my action of viewing the ads. Make it an official transaction. Right now they want it both ways where the content is "free" but I'm also stealing it by not paying.
