I don't work in the space but my intuition tells me that the problems are mainly hardware related. These technologies have a lot of promise but are currently limited by the state of the art. My personal opinion is that neither of these

Does Palantir actually do anything AI related? I interviewed there and the impression I got was that they make a flashy frontend for analysis of data from disparate sources. Not sure where the perception that they are some AI powerhouse com

So we have 3 categories that mean "has not banned", and 1 category that actually means "banned". What on earth does "on the fence" mean? How is "unlikely to ban" any different from "using Huawei&

Am I the only one who doesn't see what's so creepy about this? It's a bunch of colors, and cars being dipped into the colors, with dumb music and sfx. Is it really so harmful? Honestly curious as I don't have kids of my

Beside the point, but IMO, all podcasts should have a transcription option as well. I unfortunately just don't have the attention span to listen to hours of people talking, but put it in text format and I have zero issues.

Self reply because I'm bored: While I'm at it, I thought they could have done so much more with the world, to be honest. It was very disappointing to encounter the limits of this game. Major areas that appear on the map are comple

Hate to say this, but IMO the game will never be fixed. The game that was marketed, and the game I was excited for, featured " the most immersive open world game to date". But the game isn't immersive at all, it is nothing m

Yeah, this is where I'm at too. Whenever I see any story from WaPo or NYT I refuse to click. The lies and blatant propaganda are just too much for me. My values have shifted quite a bit in the last year, with the rise of the crazy canc

So not caring is now a form of racism? Trying to tune out the news and live my life means I am racist? I think 1. you need to get a grip on reality, 2. you need to look up some violent crime statistics, and 3. you need to look up the homici

You may think you are helping by supporting these moves and empathizing with those who are offended, but I truly believe it has the opposite effect. Is it really worth saving some thin skinned people from offense if it pisses off enough peo

Dude, if US companies want to engage in this woke nonsense, then I quite frankly think they deserve to be cancelled. This country is honestly so pathetic, IMO, in the way that we pretend to be a "free speech" nation and yet in rea

I mean what's the alternative? The language companies speak is that of money. How are you supposed to combat this without "fighting fire with fire"?

I'm thinking about making some kind of "Cancel Cancel Culture" browser extension that would automatically block sites that are known to engage in this kind of totalitarian behavior. I would make it open source and try to rais

Wow. In my book, you are extremely racist. Treating people a certain way based on skin color just because you automatically assume that this means they have the same life experiences? Dude... What about people who are just trying to live th

If you think it isn't OK to treat people the same regardless of who they are, you must live in Portland. I seem to recall someone saying "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will no

Fair enough. I can tell you that I read Scrambled Eggs Super and Mulberry Street when I was a kid, and I don't have any plans to pick up the other banned ones - but my natural gut reaction to any instances like this is disgust, because

Your definition of objectionable isn't my definition of objectionable. There was once a time when having a thick skin was lauded. Now, it seems we are in a race to pander to the most thin skinned people around.

The thing I hate is headlines like this WaPo headline: "If curtailing racist imagery in Dr. Seuss is ‘cancel culture,’ what, exactly, is your culture?" Let's get over the clickbaity title and look at their actual argument. Th

Haha, good point. I didn't even really think of that.

I appreciate the comment, and you're right. It doesn't make any sense for me to worry about this type of stuff, and it does likely spring from my own self-centeredness. It's certainly easy to get caught up in the negative hea

Honestly, it's viewpoints like yours that I despise the most. We have innocent people losing their careers with no due process, just mob justice, and what do you people do? "Oh, republicans did it 30 years ago, so any criticism is

Well, poisoning my dog or vandalizing my car is illegal. Whipping up a twitter mob is legal and highly encouraged by an enormous number of people. I try not to be an ass to anyone, but jealousy and envy exists. It's now impossible for

I think this could extend to major public figures, but offers no recourse to the average joe who doesn't have 100 hours of talking footage online. Deepfakes require a lot of data to produce. Anyone who doesn't have this much data,

I know this will get downvoted, but in the current state of affairs, I would rather have no press or journalists at all than this woke sanctimonious ministry of truth.

I don't think it's limited to just what you say in public. Videos and audio recordings have a way of triggering human emotions that writing simply does not. To tell you the truth, I live in perpetual fear that some acquaintance co

My guess is that between the increased awareness of health risks due to COVID and the rise of scary dystopian facial recognition technology, masks are probably here to stay in the United States (at least the coastal areas).

I don't know about you folks, but I've received so many "new" items from Amazon that were clearly used that I have largely stopped shopping there for expensive items. I think it's still fine for small gifts, plastic

What makes you say that? They don't seem to have much buzz and have faced some regulatory setbacks apparently.
