- emsignHe already said he had nomoral objections to deal with Epstein knowing about his first conviction for sex trafficking, because in Chomsky's view the man served his time and justice had been served. Yes, to Chomsky Epstein was an innocent man after serving a few months for sex trafficking and having sex with a dozen of minors. The socialist anarchist Chomsky had no ethical objections when he asked a convicted billionaire sex trafficker how to invest a few millions.
- Firefox has AI features?? wth
- "Increasing opportunity" what could that even mean when you ignore the fact that they actually mean clicking ads out of an impulse? But if you'd even ignore the truth, what could this even be in a positive sense?
- Thanks, Texas.
- As if! :)
- TYS = told ya so
The Iranian mullahs locked up everyone who warned them about the upcoming water crisis.

- This isn't that unusual at all. Many pop stars make a lot of money with private concerts for very rich individuals or companies. Even actors like Leonardo DiCaprio get paid to vacate on the super yachts of rich people from gulf states who then show off the celeb and get attention for themselves.
My personal hypothesis for why pop music seems so odd, BORING and promoting luxury life instead of dealing with people's every day problems and heart aches. The Spotify users don't pay their bills, it's the high profile fans among the billionaires who do. Also their parties are fancier I guess.
- Imagine history documentaries where they take an old photo and free objects from the background and move them round giving the illusion of parallax movement. This software does that in less than a second, creating a 3D model that can be accurately moved (or the camera for that matter) in your video editor. It's not new, but this one is fast and "sharp".
Gaussian splashing is pretty awesome.
- Røde has the VXLR series of 3.5 jack to XLR adaptors, one of them supports plug in power.
- as if they own the oceans
- Social media is not a substitute for child care
- Yes. It's a political problem and a very old one. That's why we also already have solutions for it, antitrust laws and other regulations to ensure competition and fairness in the market, to keep it free. Governments just have to keep funding and enabling these institutions.
- So they're like Marshall Ney then.
- Statistics can never replace human empathy.
- Yeah. This is the open source equivalent to regulatory capture.
- Wow! That is highly unscientific and speculative. Wow!
- Omg, they found one of the monoliths.
That seems to be the marketing strategy of some very big, now AI dependend companies. Sam Altman and others exaggerating and distorting the capabilities and future of AI.But we don’t go to baseball games, spelling bees, and Taylor Swift concerts for the speed of the balls, the accuracy of the spelling, or the pureness of the pitch. We go because we care about humans doing those things. It wouldn’t be interesting to watch a bag of words do them—unless we mistakenly start treating that bag like it’s a person.unless we mistakenly start treating that bag like it’s a person.The biggest issue when it comes to AI is still the same truth as with other technology. It's important who controls it. Attributing agency and personality to AI is a dangerous red flag.
