If you listen to the audio, it's much clearer. You can hear the dynamic / emotion etc in their voices. Christian's post: https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_w... Au

100% -- the only reason reddit might get away with such terrible behavior is if people have nowhere to go. :(

I'm in the same boat, looking at lemmy and mastodon. I think the key will be to hit some critical mass quickly enough.

100% agree, the challenge is that with Digg, we had reddit to flee to. I'm looking at lemmy, which seems similar in many ways, but is federated.

You seem like a very interesting person! > Also I have no attention shortages and can comfortably read a full book cover-to-cover nonstop, meditate or keep the focus of a full-day meeting on track with multiple persons in the room trying

I love the simplicity and interface, but it seems unclear where the money goes. I can't find a FAQ.

I do the same thing, but my move is to never go back to them. Works great. Saves time. Or something. :)

I think we saw a version of this unfold during COVID, when many people didn't want to do some forms of labor any more. The (somewhat) successful resonse was to raise wages.

I love this concept, this seems quite needed in the near future as accounts that seem human will proliferate.

Darn it, you're right. I missed that and stand corrected!

While you could be right, just want to mention that the comment you're replying to said 1% rather than $1.

We need to redirect these calls to an AI that will ask great questions and seem almost quite interested.

80/20 solution: People want to use the gmail interface, so the ideal solution is to use a custom domain and point it there. You can still lose all that email but you don't lose the ADDRESS, so all the accounts that you use to log

Sure, but you would as a generality have gotten BETTER information from the real sources from whom the SEO-oriented farms took the info and optimized for the search engines. They're repurposing someone else's original content.

Super useful, thanks for writing this up. I bet a short blog post with screenshots would go over great.

Love what you're building! You mentioned to lukko above (lungy.app) that you might be interested in collabing, and then above you mention streaks... wanted to make sure you knew that with apps you can "call" other apps via sh

Just because something isn't studied doesn't mean it should be dismissed as FUD. It's just unstudied.

I have a hunch that lifting weights would qualify. Not a pill, but huge research behind its effectiveness at a host of things, including improved/maintained balance (when older, falling and breaking a hip is often the start of a downwa

Yes, creatine is everything you say, but it also seems to cause hair loss in males with male pattern baldness. If you look at youtube videos (for example) they often dismiss that, and then you see comment after comment of people who starte

Within the point you think you're making is a counter-point. "Remember Polio?" --> Yes, polio was largely eliminated from it's devastating effects on humans by what you're calling "coercive vaccination.&quo

Everything you say is true, and Google has cards left to play, but this is absolutely an existential threat to Google. How could it be otherwise? For the first time in a very long time, people are open to a new search/answers engine

Prompt engineering now (as I understand it) is you're refining and refining the prompt itself. Perhaps what we might see is you give it a prompt then just keep adjusting the response dynamically, and then it can remember the entire co

Sort of. Now your cortisol could spike because of all kinds of things, none of which you can SEE. That's usually called anxiety. Back thousands of generations ago, if you were high on a rock by your cave with a good view, you knew you

Super interesting. But is the blood then cleaned of them, or is this kind of like giving your plastics to someone else? :/

Too much emotion in a writing piece belies enough bias that it becomes uninteresting. Of course Facebook is pivoting into AI, the entire universe is going that way, and any big company not embracing it will soon be doing even bigger layof
