It's standard playbook that they do not create these situations. That would be completely obvious and thus ineffective. Instead, they pick existing or upcoming trends and make them worse.

Throw into that same fire also every Russian psyop attempt at destabilizing the West. Such as every alt-right/nu-right political party that sprang up over the last 30 years in Europe, brexit, QAnon, climate change denialism, Trump and

Yeah, it's starting to be a bit idiotic. Some of that stuff is here too.

Where exactly do you think this evidence is? Don't tell me you're basing this on demos like the one in the article?

>All AI fanatics can talk about is cost, productivity, money, efficiency, ... no wonder they can't understand art or even basic human emotions That's an incredibly myopic way of thinking about other people. Sort of ironic when

Why would you think that soulless slop is the only thing this technology can make?

I'm amazed how easily people dismiss this. They used less that an hour of wall clock time and max $50 to do this. How much would it take for me to create videos like this? I'm guessing 1-4 years calendar time practicing half an ho

Wrong framing. I would need a reason to go above 60Hz, since it doesn't look any better to me and just wastes energy.

I'm for very restrictive digital device and service use for children and I also think that 16 is roughly the age when most or all of those restrictions can be lifted.

This is a great example of a thing that's 99% harmful being 1% very useful. So which should we choose as society, removing the 99% harm or keep the 1% usefulness? Also we should note that the children in this example were 16 and 17 yea

Oh, cool! Thanks for the knowledge.

Huh. I turned on PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 when it became available and didn't notice any change in input lag. Probably one of the many reasons why I'm not a competitive player. I also don't like to play above 60Hz.

A lot of things that can be done shouldn't be.

Yes, sometimes, and they do not notice because I proofread and edit to remove the worst AI markers and insert my own voice in there.

Interesting to see in 10-20 years if this will have a significant impact for the mental well-being and intelligence of young adults. I'm assuming it will be pretty obvious.

Two things are not quite correct in your text: 1. The Council triggered the second reading by adopting its own position and sending it back. You made it sound like the Commission just steamrolled it unilaterally. 2. The scheduling conspirac

Or perhaps it's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations and the people with anti-AI sentiment are called "laggards". If so, their amount will likely be near zero soon. This has happened th

>How can we reconcile AI coding a functional X server with the assertions that AI is overrated and we’re in a bubble? Simple: AI is not overrated at all. Might still be a bubble though, that's an entirely different consideration. So

The ability to run Linux properly would be worth about a $1000, if it was reality. But it isn't, so...

I used to believe, but now it seems to me that AMD and Intel will match Snapdragon's efficiency on x86 before that stuff is stable.

This applies to us Europeans too, only that the most likely disaster is permanent unemployment, not a health issue. You americans have had practical full employment for decades. It's all compromises.

They did. This was an unfortunate reality for Finnish telecom companies before the Ukraine war. Russia was an obvious market and a company looking for profit would be practically forced to try to work there. As for Jolla, this is about the

I'm much more interested in the Commodore phone because of its form factor. They chose to use the same operating system as Jolla.

Free markets work when paired with property laws that can be enforced if broken. If China could offer a cheaper solution in that framework, it would be as you say.

Coldest month average temperature where I live is around -7C, with peaks of -35C. Climate change is not going to increase that average, more like decrease. Typically, of course, electricity price is the highest during that month too. I thin

Thing is, we also need stuff like Signal to actually use phones for their original purpose these days. Most flip phones that we've had so far are dumb phones, mostly unable to run 3rd party software. It sounds like this Commodore phone
