With permanent DST we won't get the stories twice a year.

They'll need the money to settle all the resulting lawsuits.

I don't think people looking for entertainment are going to pay to watch a propaganda hit piece.

Iâ(TM)m old and not worried about giving up MacOS over this. Apple will add a cryptic CLI method for disabling this that normies wonâ(TM)t have a clue how to do themselves. As always, Iâ(TM)ll do whatever I want with my Macs and my kid wonâ(TM)t have a clue how to fuck up hers.

Wading through the garbage, one does find a few gems from time to time. Not unfounded rumours, but verified stories with links to sources that the regular newspapers do not print for some reason, or discussions and opinions outside of your own bubble. And it becomes clear how much of a bubble mainstream publications have become. Or maybe they always were...

Don't have to be a profit^w prophet to see that coming.

Paying the publishers, not the authors. Whoever actually wrote it, researched it, invented it, or created it still gets squat.

What problem is being solved?
Is this just so restaurant fruit bowls can be prepped days in advance instead of JIT?
If so, no thanks.

IQ measurements keep going up.
Autism diagnoses keep going up.
The price of food keeps going up.
People get a year older every year.

Something fishy is going on.

Are they going to chip you, or control your brain by more direct means?

How about governments using AI to process intelligence and making strategic decisions based on the AI's "insights".

Yes, but think how great the fire sale is going to be for everyone else.

Well, some people think AI will extinctify us within four years, whereas if the IRGC gets nukes they'll figure out like everyone else that they can't actually use them except in self defense without getting erased, so the only difference will be that we won't be able to try crush them anymore.

Yes, tell us how easy the current effort is turning out to be. Someone grabbed a tiger by the tail and can neither subdue it nor let go. The IRGC is probably laughing its ass off.

I hate finding out about limitations of by seeing a casual mention of those limitations by someone pushing an improvement.

If I call tech support or the bank or whatever, I don't want, need nor expect to see the other person's face. In general, video calling isn't widely used except in multi-person meetings, or when calling a loved one overseas. The avatar is not needed.

Also, give your AI agent a phone number where I can reach it, or give it its dedicated app or whatever, but default to "handset mode" like a regular phone call. Let me put it on speaker if and when I want to. Turning the interaction into a regular phone call will go a long way towards making the conversation feel more natural. Interacting with Siri and Alexa feels unnatural; adding an animated avatar to a disembodied voice won't help, even if the conversation itself flows naturally. I know, a phone call isn't suitable for every interaction, especially when collaborating or co-creating with someone, but it covers most cases.

But I guess a simple audio call is harder to monetize.
