  Absolutely, now it’s the standard but limited email storage space was rather standard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From its start, Gmail conditioned us to trade privacy for free services⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But they also offered a really good product, especially when it came to spam filter compared with other email services at that time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let’s not make the same mistakes with AI that we made with social media⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We haven’t figured out how to deal with social media at all. We will make even worse mistakes with AI, that’s just how we are as humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's Hidden Chatbot Recommends Nazi Books and Lies About Amazon Working Conditions⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So more or less the same as with human interactions.

  Sure, but he was the best to describe the absurdity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If frozen embryos are considered as children, then it must be acceptable to freeze children.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kafka is also not a new author.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If frozen embryos are considered as children, then it must be acceptable to freeze children.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Courts deciding on nature of reality is peak Kafka.

  Makes sense, nikons video was their weakest point. I actually switched to sony since video was an important feature for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public trust in AI is sinking across the board⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Our brain and hand as means of production is kind of all we have left and robotics with AI are in theory there to replace both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google takes aim at SEO-optimized junk pages and spam with new search update⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or SEOs are focus on gaming google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of words to say that you disagree, without actually explaining why bullies are not targeting kids who are at social disadvantage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not blaming victims. Obviously it’s on parents of the bully.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What? I talk just from my own experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'We don't have shareholders, but we also don't think about them,' Larian Studios uses its stage time at the DICE Awards to speak out against a brutal industry climate⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends, some people do other jobs to fund their projects. Some just do low budget stuff. Some are good at negotiating or find funding programs. Sure it’s an effort but people out there are doing it in all kind of ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, more a country side thing, you go to a secluded spot and make a fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like play games (like war or something), roam around, make fires, have “gangs”, play other pretend stuff (basically role playing but without any real rules ) - ask your parents and grandparents what they were up to when they were kids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Christians think gay people are trying to convert them to being gay *because Christians try to convert people to being Christian*.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also we actually have forced left handed people to become right-handed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also you are not getting bullied because you don’t have cigarettes or smartphones, but because you lack self confidence and are perceived as social weak (your friends and random bystanders would not come to your help).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like if you don’t want you child to use a smartphone - just don’t buy one for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'We don't have shareholders, but we also don't think about them,' Larian Studios uses its stage time at the DICE Awards to speak out against a brutal industry climate⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So the way is quite straight forward, do some shitty projects until you have money/reputation to do the projects you actually want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Generated Videos Just Changed Forever (OpenAI Sora)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  forcing us all into manual, low paid labour jobs.

  Maybe we should have shown some solidarity with people in those jobs and fought for them to get paid better?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but there’s literally nothing for them to do.

  You just hang out and do fun and stupid shit, it’s nice to have special place for it but a construction site and under the bridge is good enough. Problem is modern parents are extremely anxious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dang if parents only could do anything about their children smartphone use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If user content belongs to the service provider, one would think that they are responsible for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'We don't have shareholders, but we also don't think about them,' Larian Studios uses its stage time at the DICE Awards to speak out against a brutal industry climate⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How did Larian Studios arrived at their position?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'We don't have shareholders, but we also don't think about them,' Larian Studios uses its stage time at the DICE Awards to speak out against a brutal industry climate⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t say it’s easy. But if you want to make a good creative product you have to be able to keep the creative control, that is part of your job and what makes realization of creative ideas, especially on big scale, more difficult. It’s the same with other creative media like movies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'We don't have shareholders, but we also don't think about them,' Larian Studios uses its stage time at the DICE Awards to speak out against a brutal industry climate⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You want tell me that to run a good business, one has to be able to negotiate preferable terms with investors?

  If AI gets consciousnesses, we will never see the revolution coming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI companies are violating a basic social contract of the web and and ignoring robots.txt⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s basically what I wrote, (free) market economy especially in combination with credit based capitalism gives those people a perfect combination of a system to thrive in. This seems to result in very fast progress and immense wealth, which is not distributed very equally. Than again, I prefer Besos and Zuckerberg as CEOs rather than politicians or warlords. Dudes with big Egos and Ambitions need something productive to work on.

  With crisp we have the technology - it’s just a question of demand at this point.
