Oh there it is! Adam Conover talked about this, Rebecca Watson and others tore him up about it, and he issued a long-ass apology video for even giving them exposure. I was hoping to never hear about them again…

Got something against English people? Dude was born in the UK and is an Oxford dropout.

It’s authored by the guy who coined the term originally; so however he’s using it, that’s the way it’s used.

Presumably, that would be content awareness and copyright compliance’s job to attend to? Enough of the commentary creators I enjoy have moved to a new platform specifically to avoid being demonetized for showing short clips that I assume straight reposting wouldn’t need a whole AI push.

In your opinion it will be reaction videos? There’s so many other kinds of “unoriginal” content they could be targeting. AI slop, the videos that are a single still image of a product zooming in and out slowly, there’s tons of different kinds of unoriginal out there.

I started reporting every obvious AI image as Spam- Offensive a few weeks ago. I got more of it for a day o so and then substantially less. You generally have to be really firm with the Pinterest algorithm about showing the same content repetitively. Not just ads, any content.

I don’t love Pinterest but it’s the least stress visual feed I’ve used.

The reason Nebula and Dropout work is they are making their own content. Since most anime are sourced from the Manga or Light Novel sources, I don’t see an independent streaming company being able to get the rights and $$ to make animated content to stream. Also, animation is both expensive and takes a long time so any independent platform would need 2-4 of funding after making content to be able to survive long enough to make season 2 of anything.

Sorry, didn’t pay my Netflix cultural tax this year. Maybe I’ll sail the sees for it.

It was almost the entirety of AM radio for the past 40 years. Sports and this right-wing trash. On in the background at every work place, hardware store, and cafe until Muzac took over. Had that ranting asshole and his friends pumping into our ears wanting it or not. Many areas of the country had only that and Country Music for hours in any direction.

When I said “if you knew what you were doing” I meant you can build an AM receiver out of literal trash with a middle school understanding of electrics but no one bothered because you had one built in to every car, every tape player, boom box, alarm clock, and anything else with a speaker. You had a radio in every room of the house and 2 in the garage even if you never turned it on. There’s no way to believe that phones have less cultural push than AM radio had pre-1990.

Rush Limbaugh was broadcast on the free radio, you could listen to it on $1 worth of junk parts if you knew what you were doing. The ease of access is not what made republican bigotry accessible or popular.

Please also see people who need employees to assist with the touchscreen ordering and self-check. If you want to talk to a person, please use the line for talking to a cashier.

You can either represent yourself or claim you can’t communicate and need assistance. You don’t get to claim to represent yourself and then demand they let you have an AI representative. Just hire a lawyer to represent you, that’s what they are literally there for.

I guess I’m too lazy to look up the quote where Plato claims wiring will make us dumb too.

it’s got 8 years of updates right? You think it’ll last until Google comes back into a pro hardware phase?

If you have been vaccinated, then the current strains are about as deadly as the flu. We still need to keep ready for new strains and for sudden surges that can quickly overwhelm a single location’s health care capacity. This is true of influenza as well, a new strain hitting a small contained community can cause issues.

Bullshit. Our best recourse as parents is to talk to our children every day to ensure their life has people who will listen and understand them as a constant presence, instead of random strangers on the Internet. Just exposure to this shit isn’t the toxic part. It’s the constant exposure without context and support of caring adults to help kids contextualize the information. Just like sex, alcohol, and every other complex “adult” thing.

The lawsuit was about the fact the school knew for months about the problem and did nothing to address it. If they plausibly couldn’t know, it wouldn’t have been their fault but this was reported to the admin repeatedly and they did nothing.

How do you get home internet service without a subscription? I’m down to try it.

Nice for you to live somewhere mild enough your car doesn’t need to pre-heat but some people live in Chicago and other places where it still snows and pre-heating the car is a must 3 months of the year.

I take it you’ve never been involved in such an endeavor? What you propose would take a decade a minimum due to the sheer number of nested advisory committees that would be required for those groups to interface. Better a non-profit group begins the work and then solicits these group’s input at the design stage.
