I don’t get why people think they can have a career as a LLM middleman.

If I wanted to read a book written by a plagiarism machine about a subject I want, I’ll just ask it myself.

I don’t need someone else to ask it to write a book.

Same for LLM movies, or music.

If Hollywood thinks it can fire all the creatives and just spam out LLM generated content, well, so can the audience…

Don’t hate on Uranus like that, all we’ve got is Voyager pictures. That one kinda bad picture is cause we haven’t had a decent camera out there ever.

What we really need is a new mission with better cameras to get better pictures.

Terms and conditions are completely meaningless.

They can amend the T&C at any time and there’s usually nothing you can do about it. Once they have your data, it’s just a matter of time before everyone else has the same data.

Literally the only way to prevent your data from getting out is to keep it off any computer you don’t 100% manage.

That includes credit cards, banking, jobs, etc.

Most likely someone took the picture in the original post, made a new fake account and replied.

It’s a fairly common joke.

Most or All of the detectives on Law and Order.

I did that for a bit, but there was a noticeable increase in power usage on my server for something I’m not using.

I don’t understand this argument.

I paid once many years ago. I’ve never been asked to pay again. Why would I switch before they make a change?

In the meantime, jellyfin is getting better and better. Plex will probably be dead to me at some point, and when that happens, I’ll hop over.

You can 3d print your own and play pretend!

Except that’s absolutely not true.

Anyone that thinks that society has gone soft and media can’t really be free doesn’t remember what it was actually like before.

People don’t feel like it cause they don’t wake up one day with a 7x increase in battery life.

But just compare literally any battery powered device from 10-15 years ago with today, it’s just a huge difference.

These technologies get implemented slowly due to the fact that the first versions of a tech might have small improvements over the previous, but have much higher headroom for improvements once the manufacturing techniques are worked out.

This is due to phishing attacks and account takeover attempts, not due to the platform itself being insecure.

They state that wire can be signed up with using an email instead of phone number, so it’s less likely that someone will know the validation account used to sign up.

Feels to me like it’s just a different attack vector. Maybe it’s harder to do attacks on wire, but they didn’t really say that in this article.

My gut says it’s less attacked just cause it’s less used, not that it’s more secure. But I’m certainly willing to admit that I haven’t looked into wire much.

Realistically, most jobs don’t NEED hands. Most physical jobs can be done better with customized manipulators for the type of work being done.

We’d only need hands if we wanted a single robot model that could do multiple types of jobs, instead of a specific robot for each job.

Please stay far far away from any suspected cults.

Except anyone else that has ever taken my picture can opt-in for me, and I have no way of knowing if they did or not.

Seriously, the silent cartoons were kinda boring, and once they added color it gave me a headache.

Betty Boop was peak 'toon.

The spelling is actually also important for non-english speakers.

Alpha is hard to pronounce if you aren’t familiar with English ph, so it should be an F.

Juliet should have two T’s to ensure romance language speakers pronounce the T.

That’s great and all, but not all batteries need lithium. When another battery technology gets mature enough to surpass lithium based batteries, then we’ll still be stuck on old tech cause the government is subsiding it.

This also reduces the incentive for making more lithium efficient batteries.

Subsidies can help, but they need to be more generalized so they don’t create issues moving past current tech. Heck, look at how much trouble we’re having getting past oil, that’s a perfect example.

It wouldn’t be hard to just remove the handle from a hardware store saw and replace it with this.

Might have to drill out the rivets, but that’s not too difficult usually.

Best case under $50k for sure
