I don't think it is the Microsoft part or that anything becomes evil merely by changing hands. Just that the network effect of chat clients or social media platforms in general is so finicky that changing hands might be enough to cause

Very strange, but hello. I am alive and well. I hope you find the motivation or determination to complete your task.

I am patiently waiting for Discord to be sold to some corporation such as Microsoft so we can all move on to the next big thing. I wonder what it will be. Probably not Matrix, but definitely something.

Are there any plans for Windows and Android releases?

It's closer to the truth than it being artificial intelligence.

Some day once we strip the entire planet of its accessible natural resources and turn it into trash the landfills will be the only place left to scrounge for rare materials.

Are they intentionally conflating privacy with ads? They are still going to harvest your data either way.

I'd consider paying for Premium if they remove the free with ads version of Youtube. Ideally every single person on the planet blocked ads on Youtube on every imaginable platform so they were forced to restrict all access to content if

Does he think they are going to some day accidentally become the Tyrell Corporation from Blade Runner?

Fair enough if that is what they believe. Personally I find AGI is a bit unrealistic and mentioning it is just for the purpose of creating hype. It feels like something Musk would say to give people this vague futurism belief of their tech

Are people going to start throwing around the term "AGI" now that "AI" has become diluted? Eventually we are going to have to start using "RAGI" to indicate that we are talking about real artificial general int

I'm not opposed to having a car of Theseus, but I'm not particularly wealthy so like most people I would have to replace it once the cost of maintenance exceeds the cost of monthly payments on something newer.

I am really dreading the day my current car from 2015 that has no fancy tech features fails beyond repair and I have to get a new car. I will first attempt to get an older car with low mileage, but old cars won't last forever.

There is a collection of shorts by Chinese (mostly woman) authors called Sinopticon that I enjoyed. It's nice to read things that don't follow any of the tropes that I'm used to or at least uses them in very different ways.

Can any gaming studio make a movie without a movie studio?

That's also what happens when you turn hobbies into jobs that then become necessities. If you want to pay the bills you have to do and say controversial nonsense or be incredibly exaggerated.

It sounds like a prime industry for disruption. Anyone want to start a garage door company?

I am willing to take that risk. It's not really a big concern to begin with. I'd consider someones review if they bought the game themselves, they don't generate any revenue from it and we have had similar taste in the past.

I'd rather watch some gameplay footage with no commentary. I don't find that a person reviewing a video game contributes anything meaningful to the decision of whether or not I want a game or not unless I know them personally and

I'm really enjoying Scavengers Reign, but I can't help but feel like the local biology is a bit too absurdist. Or the amount of consistently lucky moves some of the characters would had to make to discover some weird quirk of that

This is giving me feelings similar to that movie repo men where you had to rent life saving organs and they could come repossess them at any time.

I also don't want them to be a perpetual file hosting platform either. I also wish they cleared sufficiently old text messages as well. Of course they won't delete text messages though because they can make more money from them th

I don't think there is any possibility of the current "AI" suddenly doing anything damaging on its own or anything at all on its own. The worst that I can see happening which is probably already happening is people using it t

The phone itself looks like a pretty insignificant portion of the total equipment cost. Why would you use an iPhone instead of an full camera at that point?

I would be curious to know exactly what is meant by simulating a biological cell on a computer. I don't believe in anything mystical such as a soul and think intelligence could be an emergent property of complexity. Maybe with enough p

I believe that it would be possible to make artificial biological intelligence, but that is a whole different can of worms. I don't think neural networks, language models, machine learning etc.. are even close to a general intelligence

I'd like to see any evidence that suggests AGI is even possible before I care about it wiping out humanity.

Are all the students and parents a problem? Could there be a way to get non-disruptive students and their parents to fight against the disruptive ones? The teachers might not be able to do much because their job is on the line, but if enoug

I'm probably also in the minority, but I think Youtube having a near monopoly in this space is bad for consumers and would prefer to see some alternatives. If by merely executing control over my own hardware to see only what I want is
