The worst dark pattern I saw for gambling was in Lithuania: in supermarkets, they sell scratch cards right next to the credit card terminal. If you are a recovering addict, you just can't avoid the trigger, at the worst moment.

Every parent knows that the Ipad is awful for their kid's education, but it keeps them quiet, so they happily take it.

Please define "AI fluency"? From what I see, it's mainly being able to write and read at a high level, and having a strong media litteracy and critical reasoning sense something you don't need AI for. And having no TV an

In many cases disposing of it isn't really a good idea as we can reuse the fuel in the future.

While there are problems, I think that you should compare with alternative technologies to be fair. For instance, coal used in Germany and China actually releases more radioactive material than nuclear! A great perk of nuclear waste s that

A bad product can be successful with the right distribution. This is what happens with Grok and Copilot.

US government is paying for Grok to help it send bombs on Iranians. That's a use case.

The existence of a fascist movement in the country doesn't make it fascist. France had a similar movement at the same time and wasn't fascist, for example.

The main potential of this technology is that it's easy and fast, unlike classic MRIs. So someone could do a scan a month without a problem.

Us-vs-them worldview is I think a very common thing in the world. Was the Soviet Union fascist? Is India fascist due to its extreme antagonization of Pakistan (and vis-versa). What you say about Mussolini is false by the way and Italy enfor

Italy is a good example why it's foolish to use "fascist" to describe everything one doesn't like. The European politically correct press was wary of the new "post-fascist" leader of Italy, promising us black s

The definition you are using is far too broad, so you get a barnum effect where every authoritarian political movement could be shoehorned as "fascist". Ask real fascists what they think of Kash Patel.

Depends, Grok stimulates engagement and pushes to stay on the plaform and feed it data. If anything, it helped justify a massive valuation for SpaceX, which is a metric of success for most corpos.

Actually, Caesar was very self-interested and got very rich from his campaign in Gaul. Plutarch estimated that Caesar brought back (and sold) a million slaves.

Meaning that Copilot is actually a success, even if you don't like it ;-)

You are conflating a strong regime with authoritarian tendencies with fascism. The link you gave could be used to define China and India as "Fascist" as well. Which they aren't. Besides, other categories exist to define regim

Google glass has been discontinued? Besides, many people use it on Twitter everyday. Usage is not limited to what you can see on the Openrouter dashboard.

For a lot of people, Grok is the first AI they got to use through Twitter. Grok does get quite a lot of usage, and isn't out of the game - coding tools aren't the only use case for AI.

Do you think that companies and States will use "usable" models from Mistral (who has left the race anyway), or frontiers/near frontier ? It's akin to say that walking a good enough means of transportation and we don&#x2

It depends where you are, and the local culture. Besides, if a society wants to have less children, it's a choice that doesn't imply the need for immigration. Let people bear the consequences.

Little Pete can't shoot himself in the head by mistake with daddy's glock if there isn't a glock in the house and daddy has to deposit his guns at the armory. Switzerland fixed its gun suicide epidemic by requiring this, by t

Actually, if wages are high and taxes are low, chances are that the birth rate will rise :-) And yes, the principle of public policy should be to care for one's own people first. Maybe India should have not been so nationalistic and al

This kind of argument is the same as "guns don't kill people". Yes they do.

Ressources are not infinite, and most of the consumption doesn't bring much happiness to the consumer, if not the contrary. A good empirical example is the success of GLP-1 inhibitors, for which people are ready to pay a lot to allow t

Mainly because immigrating to CH is actually not that easy. Compare that with France or Germany.

I don't care if working here in a sweatshop is marginally better. I don't want Indian dalits being used to be treated like outcasts in their host society and earning 100€ a month to be the lowest bidder for work in mine. Besides,

Not really, labor laws in most places are the bare minimum acceptable. In Latvia, they are now hiring Indian truck drivers to compress even more the salaries. Given that Latvian truck drivers are already the cheapest of the EU, you can figu
