When was YouTube ever the platform for short form content. YouTube has for the longest time pushed for videos of at least 10/15mins in length - else their algorithm will downgrade you. It’s only recently in response to TikTok that they

I wonder if we can go back to that and still compensate artists. Have a music sharing service accessible via subscription. You can share anything you want including copyrighted music. If someone downloads copyrighted music from you, detecte

I believe plenty of people have been killed for religious reasons. Sure religion is used as an excuse to start wars but wouldn't the fact that it works means people are willing to kill because of it?

I believe a patent would be allowed even if AI wrote 100% of the code as long as, listed in the patent, the owner is a human or a corporation and the inventor is human.

Frankly, it would probably be fine if it could be turned off and if turned on, doesn’t report its findings back to Apple (or anyone, but you, for the matter).

Not sure how true that is. I’m relatively depressed … I don’t spend much money as I can’t be bothered.

That’s the nice thing about fiat money, hoarding it does nothing since the central bank can at will increase/decrease the money supply. There will always be enough money in circulation if the central bank isn’t asleep at the wheel.

Another thing I feel would be a flaw is the inability to increase and decrease the money supply - something central banks often do with fiat money to stimulate the economy. Most crypto currency seem proud even that they can only deflate … w

It unfortunately that there is so much misinformation about things like the bailout. A lot of people think that the US government gave the banks free money when in fact it was just a loan of sorts that the banks had to pay back with interes

What’s the alternative? Great Depression 2.0? It’s not like the banks didn’t suffer during 2008. That bailout money was mostly returned with interest. All the government did was extend a lifeline.

Current inflation is due to the government “creating money” for the COVID-19 stimulus, the fact that governments can even do that is what’s so good about fiat currency. Bailouts are another benefit. Governments can at will dull or even prev

Catching some is better than catching none. Apple will be evolving their analysis tools too as they go along.

The buildings in question are new though, not old decaying buildings. They are just very shoddy constructed with corner cutting everywhere. How prevalent? It’s hard to say. Guess we will find out in a few decades.

I heard it’s actually quite hard to gauge debt in China due to “shadow debt” that isn’t on the books. So things might actually be worse than it seems.

Surely there are better ways than mandating a very specific technology. It would be like building codes mandating the use of a very specific concrete mix instead of mandating that supporting members must be able to handle total expected loa

I feel like it’s an overstep too. I don’t feel comfortable with bureaucrats determining which technology we should use. Going to stick my neck out, and some might say this is just a slippery slope fallacy, but should governments mandate cho

Based on current evidence we do seem to be soulless biological machines though. We don’t feel like it nor do most of us act like it is, most of the time, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. Also just because we cannot determine the objecti

Free will can also just be a psychological illusion - even if we objectively believe it doesn’t exist we can’t shake it off even if we tried; or at least as I have tried.

That’s kind of irrelevant to the situation though. It’s not Australia changing suppliers that’s the problem but how they did it. France found out they got dropped from the news if I’m right.

It might just be that there is nothing “deeper” to understand about Chess. It’s an artificial game where the rules are the way they are because we said so - i.e. there is no “why”. I never said AI will not get better. Just that its current

He might have a point. Maybe it’s rose tinted glasses but I see the 80s and 90s as the peak of Hollywood’s creativity … which so happens to be the time home video in the form of VHS took off. Coincidence?

I miss the “surprise” when the answer to the question, “What’s No.1 at the theatres?” wasn’t “<insert comic book>“. It also really doesn’t help that the subject matter of American comics is so narrow - at the end of the day it’s super

I’m not from America and I enjoyed The Godfather. It was a very well told story and a fascinating looking into an alien culture. Really, to be relatable, all you need to do is tell a human story.
