- Comment on Nintendo's new music app is a clone of YouTube Music. 2 months ago:
Of all the music apps, why? I HATE Youtube Music. I only use it because I get it free with Youtube Premium, but its a shit app. Google Music and Google Podcasts died for this?
First off, I can’t separate my podcasts from my music like I used to when we had two discrete apps, so whenever I want to listen to one, it erases the queue for the other. Why not have the ability to have seperate playlists for each?
Then there was the whole “merging your liked Youtube videos with your liked songs”, so you’d get the audio from a 7 minute video playing at random intervals while you’re just trying to listen to music. To their credit, they did fix that after several months of user complaints.
It also crashes fairly regularly when I’m broadcasting to my Google home speaker, which is actually kind of funny when you think about it.
All in all, 2/10 app, would not recommend.

- Comment on Google Serves AI Slop as Top Result for One of the Most Famous Paintings in History 3 months ago:
AI “art” removes the hurdle for the wealthy of actually having talent to produce “art”, while simultaneously removing the artist’s ability to produce wealth from their talents.
Everytime someone shares an AI generated video, song, picture, etc., I cringe a little. Its just not good, or at best, anything that couldn’t be produced by a reasonably capable artist, but hey at least its free, right?

Canadian here. No, you fucking dont. We basically have 2 major players (Loblaws and Sobeys), and they were caught red-handed fixing the price of bread a few years ago, and faced next to no punishment for it.

I guess you’re right. Might as well give up now, put zero effort into making anything better, and simply wallow in my own smug pessimism.
- Comment on The AI Deepfakes Problem Is Going to Get Unstoppably Worse 11 months ago:
People need to be more media litterate and more skeptical of news stories instead of taking them at face value, regardless of Deepfakery. So many articles that pass as “news” are filled with opinion and adjectives designed to ellicit an emotional response.
People need to learn to look at a piece of information and ask questions.
- Who wants me to be reading this?
- What emotions (if any) is this trying to ellicit?
- What objective information can be taken from this story?
- What are the sources for that objective information? Are they reliable?
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Even a Fox News article can have some insight into the goings on if you can parse the information from the spin. Deepfakes are just going to be another level of spin, but if people are informed enough, they’ll be able to logically differentiate between a real news story and a damning fake video.
However, that doesnt solve the age old problem of willfully ignorant people and the confirmation bias…

- Comment on Excuse me, but the industries AI is disrupting are not lucrative 1 year ago:
Weird that AI isnt replacing things like management, CEOs, stock investors, accountants… you know, jobs that tend to be about numbers and efficiency, which yi would think AI would excell at.
Instead, we have it skirting copyright by stealing other people works and changing it just enough to not be a direct copy.

I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.

- Comment on UNESCO and Interpol Collaborate to Build a Virtual Museum of Stolen Cultural Artifacts 1 year ago:
The Museum of History in Canada has a cool solution to this regarding some of their indigenous artifacts.
They either come to an agreement with the people who the historical item belongs to for the museum to keep it, or they give it back with either a placard explaining why the item is no longer at the museum, or reproduction in its place with a sign explaining that its a repro.

- Comment on Call it what it is 1 year ago:
It used to be, when there were actual bargains worth fist-fighting over.
Now they jack the prices up leading into November, and return prices to normal with “SALE” in bug red letters, or offer a piddly 10%-15% discount and act like its a door crasher.
- Comment on World’s biggest tidal energy ‘kite’ could single-handedly power a small town 1 year ago:
I always thought that tides were a really underutilized source of energy.
I mean, look at the Bay of Fundy. The equivalent of all the water in all the rivers in the entire world cycles in and out every single day. Thats a lot of movement and a ton of potential energy there.

- Comment on Welcome to the Age of Paid Social Media 1 year ago:
Last line of the article: “Just like choosing not to ride on airplanes isn’t really an option, for many, using social media isn’t much of a choice either.”
That, and not only is not riding on an airplans an option for a lot of people, its their reality for a lot of people and out of reach financially. Way to be completely out of touch, Gizmodo. Couldn’t have used a worse example lol.

- Comment on They’ve grown up online. So why are our kids not better at detecting misinformation? 1 year ago:
Because media litteracy and critical thinking are not subjects taught in schools.
Inquisitive and skeptical minds do not make for good worker drones.

This is awesome. Just think of how much this will improve the quality of life if we can reduce the strain of repetitive stress injuries so people can spend more time enjoying their off time than just simply recovering from the wear and tear of yheir day job.
