Google improves their search results, then they won’t need AI to do the searching?

Most bullies don’t.

It reminds me of the room where Abstract Daddy is in Silent Hill 2.

Obligatory: if you know, you know.

A friend’s boss retired to become a children’s book writer.

Money–or lack thereof-- is what really hinders most of us to do what we want. I grew up admiring polymaths and I want to do whatever I want because I want to learn about the world. But it is in the past couple of years which I realised, that the polymaths I admired? They are rich while I’m not. Polymaths in the past were more common back then because they inherited lots of money from their parents as safety net, and don’t have to worry about specialising and finding a “secure job” but is soul sucking.

I don’t condone, but I understand.

Why the hell not? AI companies wantonly stole our data after all. I seriously think that we should update Marxist theories with respect to AI and knowledge economy. The old Marxist theory on labour is becoming obsolete in the face of deindustrialisation, the boom and bust of knowledge economy, and the coming age of AI.

If you collect and learn all languages that ever existed, then perhaps you would gain a better understanding of the world. I’m not a linguist, but I am fascinated with the fact that languages each have their own unique quirks and words untranslatable to another language. These quirks and words which are only unique to a language reflects the value of the culture speaking that language. For example, Austronesian languages are gender neutral. There is no “he” or “she” pronouns. That reflects the largely gender egalitarian value of Austronesians. The Japanese have another word for a shade of blue, which most other people won’t easily recognise except the Japanese. Some African greetings say “I see you”, which is not only a salutation, but is recognising the person being greeted as an individual.

Fetterman has been a thorn in his party’s side on a host of issues.

And the thorn that the Dems are welcoming.

I actually like using AI in my workplace to rid the need for tedious data entry. But i realised that if I told people about it, the management might see that they may not need me anymore so i won’t teach anyone how to efficiently use AI.

Gen Z has actually become more religious than previous generation.

Whether intentional or not, or just progressive improvement on algorithms, youtube thrives by providing a need, and then providing it poorly so you keep your watch time going forever.

It depends. I’m a huge nerd and my YouTube browsing habits are relating to educational videos and long form essays. My news sources on YouTube are also less sensationalist.

On algorithm, I kinda minimise its bs by turning off my watch history. I bookmark my YouTube page to my watch later playlist, so I could chip away at my nearly twenty years of backlog of videos to watch.

Well said. My weekend turns out to be decompression time.

The best example is The Thing. The original film in the 1950s was awkward af. But the 1980s remake by John Carpenter was chef’s kiss. Then they made a remake of a remake and it was meh.

It’s a joke.

Now, if only you could monetise getting people’s attention…

But people are dumb so that’s why he’s back.

I remember when I felt invincible, like the world is my oyster. It felt like yesterday. Even though I didn’t achieve everything that I hoped, I’m glad I was raised to just enjoy the journey.

Despite the differences, ideologues from any group say the same thing: “But, but, it wasn’t real [insert favourite ideology]. It has actually never even been tried!”

Yeah, I don’t really care about what the rose-tinted form ought to be, I am more concerned about what it has been in practice. I can’t remember who it was but a Greek philosopher mentioned practising and observing a concept to see if it works in real life or not, or what could be rectified. This is important.
