You haven't been told it seems. Being good with AI is summed up as the following: "Getting the governance models to do as little as possible". I suggest iterating prompts until you don't see any language involving stuff like "I have to respect...be careful about...be sensitive about...this is a big topic...." Just autoreject any replies that contain governance weasel phrasing and your AI returns will actually start be worth money.

This gets into trolley arguments and made up statistics pretty fast, however my opinion is that the human mind on a motivational level can only take so many false calls to action before it decides everything associated with the warning system is people crying wolf.

I have to imagine that in terms of actionable calls to help you're more likely to improve the world by giving money to the charity suggested on the top of your cereal box.

Comment Attention based economy (Score 1) 68

The amount of "Pretty good" stuff which is free or insignificant in price to even the homeless is so large that you could literally never get through all of it even in any one media, such as books, games, or movies. The barrier to entry for creating almost any form of content? If you can read this post you have passed it. So why spend money? Polish? Have we not yet learned to HATE polish?

Comment What is the point of a boring spectacle? (Score 1) 27

You combine two of my favorite things and you fuck it up by embracing the spirit of neither. Displaying individual bricks at tourist locations is literally more boring than using them in a little moondust gas station. I can look at your bricks through glass right here and now on my computer screen. People really have no imagination anymore.

Remember all those "average human" portrait morphs that tended to look very attractive?

  I'm not sure what the right term is, but maybe she just has a very "normalized" or "smoothed" sounding voice. In other words, as with those portraits perhaps her voice sounds like what a computer created average would, and this in turn is considered pleasant.

Because it's the first, cheapest, biggest, and to some extent only thing they can do to prove that they've turned over a new leaf with regards to supporting the things people use. The phones have an explicit stated end of support right now. If they put out a statement that they're going to exceed that, people will notice.

Their API's on the other hand are open ended and generally remain described as an amazing thing to get into even after years on the rust heap and days from being killed. It's basically impossible for Google to release a statement about how they totally mean it this time with their API support and convince anyone. With Stadia this exact issue was openly discussed and became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Not really my point, but ok, I'll bite.

Google has a terrible reputation with regards to product lifespan and support. For this reason increasingly large numbers of businesses refuse to use Google's API's for fear of either Google abandoning a framework they have come to rely upon.

A way for Google to begin rectifying this bad public image would be to offer support beyond what they had promised for their physical products, especially when Apple's relatively good update support for iphones is a very real reason people chose them.

Dispelling the idea that Google does not care about anything for the long term would help them more as a business than the sale of a few more phones.
