It is far easier to use psychedelics irresponsible then it is with alcohol. Most people crash at some point when drunk, but usually do not undress and walk out onto a busy street... The tendency of psychedelics to unearth mental health pro

Frankly, if you are a (minor) celebrity, public interactions and the drive to be known for something is an essential part of your trade. I totally lack empathy for these people getting some pushback. Do we now have to have pity for attent

I think, even if very sarcastically worded, you're onto something.

But does the comparison really hold? IMO, you'd have to have your "intimate" public discussion carved in stone or something to be comparable. Your example is more like SnapChat or any other platform that limits the lifetime

So, if it is considered inappropriate to join in, why was the thread public in the first place?

So, are only opinions which have a majority worth voicing these days, or even worse, should every opinion that does not conform with majority be kept to oneself? Do you know what you are implying with this?

Much like a police officer would never rape women? The U.S. would like to be named world-police, however, that is mostly wishful thinking.

It is rather hypcritical to pretend the actions of the US are any different.

Sorry, but as someone who had a cat for 14 years, I have already read too many scientific claims about cats which were obviously totally bonkers that I am inclined to no longer care what scientists figure out about cats.

I immediately thought about my cat as well when reading this. It was fun playing with him. And everyone who has ever been really bitten by a cat (me at the age of 10, went through the hand) knows that 99.999% of cat activities in a typi

Wow, time is moving fast. I am still happy with my rpi3 as a MPD server to feed Sonos with a custom, local audio stream.

I have been beta-testing BeMyAI. For roughly a month. It is a milestone in independence. It typically describes scenes in a very usefu way, allows me to ask detail questions, can compare differences in pictures, has a very good OCR and c

What makes you think random human volunteers are any safer when it comes to being trolled?
614.
by lynx23 3y ago
Well, I'd say it is about as dangerous as trusting a random stranger is. Or do you seriously believe blind people have never been trolled by fellow humans? Please dont project the typical AI-angst into this assistive technology. It d

You apparently have no personal experience wth needing help. Can you pleas take your AI-angst somewhere else, and leave the best innovation that assistive technologies have ever made, for those to discuss which actually know what they are

It is about choice, ... Thanks for being a volunteer. But please dont judge blind users if you apparently can not put yourself in ther shoes... Yes, one reason is that some blind users dont want to waste volunteer time. Another reason is

Ahh, entitlement. I find it somewhat confusing that people seem to treat the AI and robot era as if it were anything new. Workers are being replaced by machines since, what, 50 to 100 years? It is happening in stages, but... I just watc

Oh yeah, esp. funny if you always hated U2, and suddenly it appears in the middle of your music collection. Same with "Alone at home", not quite my taste.

> The decision to leave the EU was made by parliament, not by the people. What a nice excuse. I dont buy it. No decision is ever made by "the people", every poll will end up being discussed in some parliament, and politicians

I guess I will loose this on the ground of not being a native speaker. But to me, the little word "other" makes a difference. At least if I translate to my native language, the phrase "andere EU-Staaten" clearly implie

Indeed, people are starting to understand that democracy is just another type of control, and most of its promises are actual lies. If you critically review what the parties you voted for have actually done, it is quite likely that you end

There you go. GDPR already made companies stop providing to users based on their location. This trend will likely continue.

One of my cats almost killed himself when he tried to remove the flea collar, and those are supposed to break. No, it didn't. Luckily, I was around and managed to cut the damn thing before it would suffocate my cat. Never ever will

non-consensual AI porn, what a clickbaity title. Two things as an aside: This is one of the reasons why we told people they shouldn't upload too much about themselves to the Internet. And secondly, celebrities kind of spread images and

Now you have a pretty good idea how blind people must feel. Yes, a good audiobook should be read by a human. But if you dont have that, speech synthesis is the best or even only thing you can get. And then, many years later, you read a p

The only "danger" with Tamagochi and friends is that some humans are so stupid that they can't get their priorities right. However, that "danger" easily transfers to something else. Taking away the "sharp edg
