The nature of the invention is for people to relieve themselves of the burden of having to use their minds. And while there will be exceptions, (including, I'm sure you: the person reading this comment,) the vast majority of people are

Yeah, it's like declaring self driving safe because people are told to remain alert with their hands on the wheel, ready to take over in an instant. It's a charade.

You have no obligation to agree with them, but after all this time I don't know how someone on either side could be ignorant of what the other side's main arguments are.

A calculator does replace our ability to do math in a certain sense. At the grocery store there's countless (no pun) opportunities to do math in the sense of comparing prices and calculating unit costs etc, but most people can't d

I retired due to not only AI, but other reasons this industry has become something I don't like. I'm fortunate with regards to the timing and being able to do it, but if I could have a job like the one I had ten years ago I'd

It's a bummer that the rest of us have no choice but to live in the world created by the tyranny of the docile.

The point is that the long-ongoing effort to weaken regulation leads to events like this as predicted, and further steps in that direction are powerfully incompetent.

We used to ridicule "works on my machine" thinking but now we're pivoting the whole field into essentially that, shipping what "sticks" like you said.

We should call this obsession "longest Covid". Certain people will be on this until they die.

Covid already started to create a situation where people get indignant if you expect them to physically show up to places. Like we're in The Naked Sun. We're probably headed towards people feeling the same sort of entitled to resp

"Global warming" was bad branding because stupid/dishonest people smugly use any instance of unusual cold weather as an argument against it.

I made the switch to FreeTaxUSA from H&R Block online this year. It was very easy and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. You can upload your previous year's PDF from your other software to import the data.

We already know the explanation. It's fundamental to their business model and continued existence to automate everything, false positives be damned, and they don't care about all the people who roll snake eyes on a given day. Beca

It's far more concerning that so many people are incapable of understanding the reality of it.

And the sad part is that it could be such a cool technology it had come about in an earlier time, before consumers and labor lost all their power. It's the combination of the era and the technology that's going to be bad for peopl

For me it's that Xbox has a Plex app. I'm not willing to use Android TV devices or connect my TV to the internet.

And the switch will continue, it won't be a one-time event. Like how the price of Netflix etc. keeps going up periodically. If people's dependence on their streaming service keeps them captive, just wait until people have gone 5 y

All of these companies and their products and services are getting worse and more expensive. If their hostility to customers has not been punished so far then what reason is there to believe it ever will be? The time to have quit Prime was

Perhaps most of what sucks right now is downstream from the advent of the technology and business model that allows companies to scale their users to the point where it's impossible to handle their customer service needs with actual pe

I thought the main benefit of Prime was guaranteed fast shipping, since free shipping can still be had without Prime. So the shipping has gotten worse while the price gets raised to subsidize the production of Citadel?

Human creativity is not only not being rewarded, but people are increasingly talking like consuming too few tokens is something that's actively used against them.

What could a movement to directly punish advertisers look like? Ones who pass a certain threshold of ruining the venue they're sponsoring or generally worsen a community, online or off. Why do they get a pass, no matter how far they en

Over the last 30 years the culture and power has made a gradual shift from 100% pure hobbyists to 4% hobbyists, 48% scammers/predators, and 48% commercial. You can't pinpoint when the fun stopped and it's subjective. I person

We have an invention that aims to replace labor and employers want nothing more than to replace labor. It's silly to pretend that AI isn't responsible. But you're right that an incompetent administration is piling on with add

Giving it busywork that you don't have the time or wherewithal to check carefully sounds like a disaster. Rather than introduce content that will be partially wrong and cause confusion if it's ever read, I'd consume the credi
