…because of anxiety from doomscrolling and notifications

Every generation needs to learn what microsoft is all over again, but they only learn the hard way.

So let me see if I got it:

Lemmy in web 1 would have been like geocities: website replies to website message from link

Lemmy in web 2 is Lemmy

Lemmy in web 3 is Lemmy with an instant cryptocurrency/liberapay tipping button in each post/comment, like steemit 7 years ago?

Blade runner. Much better than “Do androids dream of electric sheep?” but it is only loosely based off it.

PS: when reading a book after watching a film, it usually feels like the book is much better, fills in details, separates scenes which a film had mixed together or altogether done away with. E.g. The Shining, LotR, Dune…but for Androids I just felt “what, that’s it?”

Anybody know if it is hard to make a synthetic voice, just like you can make a synthetic face or synthetic music? Or is that the point: that a synthetic voice ended up sounding like her?

Backdoors are bad, 'mkay?

Apparently, that causes radio interference, but I don’t think it lasts that long (days to hours)

Nothing, but then you could patent it and license it to anyone but elon :) are you motivated yet?

If after all this shit we end up with retarded AI and lose libgen in the process, we’ll end up with less than we started with…

China did it…https://www.youku.tv/ probably the EU could do it too, if it cared about owning its own critical infrastructure.

At this point, it is just part of the corporate innovation cycle: first you make money by creating better products, once the tech matures and the gains in engineering are marginal, you move focus to sales and try to gain market. Then when the market is saturated, you move your focus to finance, aquisitions and cost-trimming.

From this pov, it looks like google got caught flat-footed (when it was moving from sales to finance) by a tech breakthrough and seems to be in “manage the shit out of this” mode, when now what they needed was to go back to an engineering focus, but by now it is too late, because the company already alienated the most dedicated engineers and can’t get them back while still in sales/finance focus.

why is this better than just icinerating it for baseload power? That is the only truly safe way to dispose of plastic, plus pyrolisis adds an extra step, which costs more energy.

I’m comparing Malthus’ overpopulation to a white supremacist who supposedly invented the tragedy of commons. Sounds similar. Overpopulation can happen in some societies e.g. Easter Island, but is not everywhere the cause of most ills.

elon?
