Lads, if you're not going to allow yourself the vulnerability to feel moved by art, then at least have the decency to be haunted by your profits

Is this an entire business centered on a reference to a 3 season show from 50 years ago?

One thing I love about the studio display is that on video calls, voices come through the monitor at the same volume the person was speaking.

I think it’s to allow a check for things like 2fa or passwordless login methods like FaceID or Passkeys.

Bummer that it complicates the login process for everybody, especially if you’re using a password manager.

This is exactly the kind of pointlessly argumentative post he is talking about. You are the problem.

Nice! Looks like this just got enough support to become a viable option within the last year.

Was a fan of the color functions. Being able to adjust lightness or saturation on a color allowed for some cool stuff.

Like being able to lighten a color by 10% for a hover, or using a darker shade of a background color for a border.

There is a camera passthrough that creates the illusion you can see the background, but it is entirely through a screen.

VR goggles will never have mass appeal like a device you can glance at while doing other things.

All I've blocked so far is two last names, I bet you can guess which ones.

As is the claim of non-inevitability.

You know just as much about the future as I do, which is nothing.

The only kind of proof one can make about an unrealized outcome is with rationalizations.

People had the same sentiment about computers, the internet, cell phones, smart phones, etc.

You can get by without those things, but the world changes even if you choose to stand still.

Inevitable only means that a thing can’t be stopped, not that it is all-consuming.

Inevitable in the sense that even if you don’t use it, other people will.

My aim is to be objective and realistic about the future.

AI is loaded full of ethical problems from all angles. We should be extremely critical of it, and we should object to it's use in specific ways.

I don't think "AI is bad, I don't want it, get it away" is a very nuanced or useful take.

"We can't make it not exist" points pretty directly back at the inevitability, no?
December 23, 2024 at 9:19 PM
Lol you're the one that first used the word in this thread, and now you're really stretching the definition.

To be clear, my argument is that AI exists, that we can't make it not exist, and that people use tools they find useful.

Common. Typical. Usual. It implies that there are exceptions. That it is not a universal.
