  • I have no problem with being able to verbally ask a computer to do basic useful things, it’s a far more advanced PC-human inferface than the computer mouse…

    But beyond that, meh. I get how it can be used by science to solve complex issues or analyze large datasets, and that’s cool, but I don’t need anything on my PC more calable than an aide that can set a timer for me, or thereabouts.

    If it can’t already do something with way fewer errors than people, than it shouldn’t be doing that yet.

    If it can, then we might as well put it to work.

    We didn’t build stone tools because our hands were good enough, or bronze tools because stone was good enough,…








  • Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.


    Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.

    Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).

    Either way, nobody was hurt.

    But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.

    Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.

    As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!







  • No.

    I’ve only ever read a forums rules when adding a post, in order to ensure it gets accepted.

    My comments on posts are responses to the post being seen by me. Any and all post seen by me are responded to as I see fit, ad hoc.

    If you don’t like em, you can feel free to do your job and moderate whatever content you can as you see fit, but I am in no way ever going to read and study and memorize the combined thousands of rules for every community that pops up in my feed on any social platform before commenting.

    Your demand is so far from reasonable, or rational, that my immediate conclusion is that you should be banned from ever moderating a public community.

    So, please take your head, and remove it from your ass: BTW, you sound like a hardcore fascist POS!

    Cheers.


  • Helped somebody homeschool a kid in elementary school a decade ago, the system was pretty user friendly and only really needed a human adult to keep the kid on task and ensure breaks and such. Basically didn’t need to help at all.

    If the student is willing to learn, and knows to take breaks when they lose focus, I don’t see why an AI teacher wouldn’t be sufficient for 90% or more of the class-time… But a human teacher should still be reachable for occasional needs.

    Heck one actual teacher could probably manage thousands of students for most classes if AI and digital course systems are there to handle most guidance.

    There’s definitely still something to be said for in-person schooling… But it isn’t necessary for every class… I was bored as fuck in school for a handful of basic classes cause I had to wait for the ‘class’ to catch up before we moved on. I prefer online courses for anything that doesn’t require hands on guidance.


  • There are a lot of cultures where seating in public is ad hoc, you just sit wherever, you generally don’t claim a table or area to yourself. In those situations greetings and socialization are pretty normal.

    I remember going out to eat fast food with a girl and her kid a decade ago and some homeless guy asked if he could sit with us. I said sure, and he was a nice maybe 50 year old guy. He had clearly been around kids and enjoyed the normalcy of just hanging out with the three of us for 30min. The kid didn’t mind, but the girl I was dating thought it really weird.
