Lifetime movies are awesome because you can put them on in the background and they’re not at all distracting from the main task you’re working on.

some people still recommend using a VPN and IP address from a country where YouTube ads are prohibited, such as Myanmar, Albania, or Uzbekistan.

Wait, you can just prohibit YouTube ads at a national level? That’s somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.

This article was a lot of words with very little information.

Thank you, that was very interesting, especially the second article. It’ll be worth watching the details of how this plays out over the coming years.

That’s very interesting… can you suggest a good article covering this topic?

OpenAI should have given some money to the people who own the movie “Her”. Then they could have claimed they were just mimicking the character.

But I never thought anything like this would happen. That the cloud, search/google, mega platforms and AI would swallow the whole thing up.

I didn’t think so either. The funny thing is, Blade Runner, The Matrix, and the whole cyberpunk genre was warning us…

I read that in Texas, you’re expected to tip at the movie concessions stand. Is that really happening anywhere?

Fear not! Eventually you’ll be forced to take an update that will bring this blessing to you:

On devices that are not powered by a Snapdragon® X Series processor, installation of a Windows update will be required to run Recall.

So if it’s “AI”, and it’s remembering what I do on my computer, does that mean it’s going to hallucinate about what I did on my computer?

Back when I deleted all my comments, I was told I could claim to be in Europe and make a request citing the European law that Reddit has to follow. I think Reddit had a page where you could make the request, but of course it was hard to find.

You know a meme is old when it’s in the Jargon File instead of knowyourmeme. This one goes all the way back to 1983.

I’ve been told that’s what it looks like in Europe, except everyone has bicycles instead of cars. True?

Pro tip: there’s no need to wait for a holiday to celebrate your independence from Britain. I’m going to celebrate it right now.

This is behind a paywall, so we’ll never know.

I’m an older guy, so when I listened to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge I heard a lot of Queen and Iron Maiden in it. I thought it was great, some of their songs are top tier. But I can see how if you were in high school at the time and didn’t embrace their style, you might not like it. I mean, even Queen and Iron Maiden had their detractors back in the day…

We are approaching another AI Winter. AI goes through hype cycles:

• some flashy new capability captures everyone’s imaginations
• Companies and researchers exaggerate the possibilities and people are led to believe that full AI is right around the corner.
• Then with familiarity people realize the new capability isn’t really that revolutionary, and the term “AI” is distrusted again, for another decade or two.

It’s been that way since the 1950s. Read more about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter
