Thanks for this! I'm keen to try it out. Don't have much use for the collaboration but the interface and the other features look nice!

One thing that made a huge difference for me was turning of my watch history. If you do that you get a message on the homepage saying that it can't recommend videos until you turn on your watch history. Not very visually pleasing but

Anyone have experience using Supernotes? How does it compare to other note taking apps? Any killer features?

Now I'm curious too. What parts of the apocrypha would throw a wrench in the gears of an otherwise cohesive narrative? Also, maybe I wasn't as clear about my point as I could have been. By cohesive narrative I don't mean that

Redemption is absolutely baked into the Hebrew Bible. The claim that Jesus is the Christ is the Christian bit. The fact of multiple authors and time periods doesn't categorically negate the possibility of a coherent narrative. One may

This article gets a few things right but the author doesn't seem to understand the full purpose of characters like David in the Bible. You don't even have to believe they were real people or be religious, much less Christian, to s

Not taking the quote at face value and assuming it’s hyperbole is consistent with not thinking it’s actual slave labor. I’ll give ya that.

Google search for “slave labor definition”: labor that is coerced and inadequately rewarded, or the people who perform such labor. We can split hairs and debate semantics but that definition fits my use of the phrase.

Two things can be true at the same time. In terms of employment, I would have anyone do the best they can to provide for their families. And it’s also a damn shame that the best option the people in question have is to label explicit conten

The main figure in the article literally said their work felt like digital servitude [slavery] and implied they didn’t have other options.

I see what you’re saying but even taking cultural differences into account I can’t imagine people from the regions listed in the article aren’t at least on some level unsettled by earning a dollar an hour to read accounts of rape and label

What word would you use to capture the idea of paying poor people or people in refugee camps a dollar an hour to label explicit content for AI? “The nature of the work often feels like digital servitude—but it's a necessity for earning

I wasn't sure if I wanted to throw my two cents into this comment section, but here goes... I'm absolutely astounded that anyone is framing the concept of taking advantage of the vulnerable and exposing them to this kind of materi

Absolutely. Or baking. I learned how to make sourdough last year and am now at the point where I make all the bread our family needs. Sourdough is especially deep because the steps are so simple on paper yet so full of nuance to explore. Ea

This is actually great advice, even if it seems like a disposable recommendation. Why try to get wisdom from HN comments when you can plumb the depths of the wisdom of those who have been to hell and back to get that wisdom?

No sweat. I definitely don't want to downplay the reality of your frustrations with your job. It's just that the many facets of the topic of work are very meaningful to me and I have a lot of strong convictions about it. How to

The p#rn conversation is a really weird one. Is it better to consume computer generated p#rn so we don't have to worry about all the ethical issues that go along with people performing for the pleasure of others. Are we losing our hu

> All about the vibes This made me chuckle. It's actually really interesting to think about the fact that AI can create part of symbolism (the symbol itself?) but it has no idea why a symbol matters or what it's for, which are

Your comment is phrased like you're disagreeing with or challenging mine. But I think we're in agreement? I didn't mention the specific jobs that you did but I agree wholeheartedly that we need people to do those jobs. And

Not sure what you mean by "valid" but I don't think anyone's arguing that butterflies, cats, and sunsets are not valid. I love watching or looking at all of them but that doesn't make them art. Again, I think the c

All the things you mentioned are what I mean by the forces that corrupt work. Yes we should be paid for our work, within reason. And we should get to do things that are inherently useful to others. But if you're doing something that

I don't think we're running out of meaningful work either. I think this is a new context in which to explore the value and meaning of work.

To me, work is inherently noble. It's the forces that corrupt it that are the problem, not work itself. Getting to enjoy work is an unfortunately rare blessing but I also think enjoyment of work is more dependent on the individual&#x

I took their comment to mean that the definition of art lies in the fact that a human created it as a response to their experiences as a human. Beautiful things can be made from suffering. Maybe therein lies the undoing or redemption of suf

by farleykr 4y ago
I agree wholeheartedly. And I’d hazard a step further and say it’s a response to strong emotions of many kinds. I can say for myself that I have created what I would call art as a response to joy before. I look forward to the rediscovering

I'm not saying we should turn a blind eye to disappointments because "that's just the way it is." Work itself is a process of taking things that are not good or disappointing and correcting them. But maligree is gettin

I certainly didn't intend to sugarcoat anything. I was actually hoping to lay bare the harsh reality that work is often disappointing. I would hazard a guess that maligree has built at least a few things they're proud of at work
