I'm using VoiceInk which is great and open-source (free if you build it yourself!)

Exactly, that's called ethics. In normal societies (eg Europe) this is the norm...

by oulipo 1y ago
At the very least there should be an ethics committee looking into it, and possibly barring him from working in a related field for eg 5 years, to avoid revolving-doors

I think the issue with the original article (and this one) is that it COMPLETELY glosses over the major threats of AI to climate, trust in democracies, and the social fabric of our societies. Which ARE being attacked right now

climate + democracies And AI is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what we need for these to thrive...

Thanks for your question that totally misses the point (get some basic statistics about the population reading HN if you want...)

Exactly

by oulipo 1y ago
Exactly, and it's funny because here everytime we discuss the impact of AI on vulnerable population, be it for taking jobs / increasing CO2 consumption / destabilizing politics, there's always a rich white guy with his c

But DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE ISSUE RIGHT HERE?? The fact that you're so sheltered as a western white rich programmer that you can AFFORD to be misinformed about all the way AI is bad for the rest of us (spoiler: you won&#x

Basically his article says: check the documented issue with the climate, the education, the destruction of trust in society, and your answer is "yes but it makes my nice cuddly programming job better I like it"... don't you u

Is this available only for Python? or can I send stacktraces from JS/Rust/etc?

Well, so again we agree, that's exactly why we need pessimists indeed: as of late, most developments have been for the worse, not the better

by oulipo 1y ago
Looool, your post is "let's be neutral", and then going on about making a list of how EVERYTHING has gone not neutral, but ACTIVELY BAD. That's exactly why we need to have a pessimist view on these kind of tech, because

"I just also happen to think that all those issues are not dramatically changing because of AI" -> this is your white westerner privilege right here, "I just to happen to think it's not such a bad thing" (mainly

Exactly, it seems like for him all the controversy about AI is just "will AI get my very own (white privileged programmer) job" and he doesn't even think about those: - will it feed disinformation and disrupt democracies (lik

Hindsight is always 10/10. They might have tried something new, and most of founders learn by making experiences and mistakes. I don't see an issue here

One of the BIGGEST requirement for change is to *bring about a community*. Perhaps "technically" they haven't been "the best", but their major value has been creating a community of people who care and demand change

Not exactly sure what it's for? it's to stream your data to Parquet files on (eg) S3 and keep somewhere the exact schema at each point in time? or is it something else? would be nice to have some tutorial/use-cases in the doc

It's absolutely not "still small", it's huge vs the benefits it "provides"... (mostly a glorified autocomplete to a few coders so far) the problem is the rebound effect, even though we might improve its efficie

Agreed, although it's slightly beside the point. The goal of building tools and robots has always been to alleviate work. And this is fine. There's still plenty of stuff to do if machines work for us to give us basic housing and f

I see! Thanks. So it's often "presented" as "a local database which is replicated by streaming", but perhaps it would be more natural to view it as a kind of "centralized database, but with local caches that ar
