Nemo,

“Teresa Rampell” by Manel. It’s in Catalan.

Nemo,

I remember when I was in college, and the big problems in AI were speech-to-text and image recognition. They were both solved within a few years.

Nemo,

AI isn’t reserved for a human-level general intelligence. The computer-controlled avatars in some videogames are AI. My phone’s text-to-speech is AI. And yes, LLMs, like the smaller Markov-chain models before them, are AI.

Nemo,

No earlier than 45. Otherwise you’re headed back into territory where your body and brain are still developing – fuck with that and you might not feel right in your own body.

Nemo,

I am the wrong person to ask about this, but I read ebooks, play games, go on fora.

My wife cruises Facebook marketplace and other similar sites and buys furniture which she then resells at a profit. But I doubt that’s very common either.

Nemo,

Introduced my kids to the David Lynch adaptation of Dune.

Nemo,

I work nights and bike home.

Nemo,

Me too, but then I throw them in the laundry trash can when I’m sorting laundry later.

Nemo,

Mine is full of receipts I empty out of my pockets.

Nemo,

I would not be surprised if it’s time travelers who put us in this mess in the first place.

Nemo,

Isn’t that more likely to be an artifact of the brand-new radar system? New systems always have bugs.

Nemo,

Sure, violent chaos, but very localized. Even most right-wingers aren’t devoted to that tool.

The ones that are… they’ll be trouble, as you say.

How much does a creator's worldview influence whether you use their tech or consume their media?

Watching the drama around kagi unfold and it has me wondering how much you take into consideration a creator’s view on things like homophobia, sexism, racism, etc. when deciding to use a product. I think most of us have a bar somewhere (I would imagine very few on this website would ever consider registering on an altright...

Nemo,

I am a very “death of the artist” kind of guy, but I won’t give my money to people will will use it for evil. So while I’m perfectly happy to, say, buy a Roman Polanski movie secondhand, I’m not going to purchase a new copy.

Nemo,

On a tiny island in an artificial lake in the middle of a big city park.

Nemo,

I almost never sit down when I’m at home. I cook standing, wash dishes standing, fold laundry standing, eat standing. I often play videogames and read standing, though that can be bad for posture if you’re not holding it out in front of you.

Nemo,

No, I just hold my plate.

Nemo,

They’re pretty lax about sharing your account login, so no, not necessarily.

Nemo,
  • Every MCU movie
  • Every Pixar Movie
  • Every Star Wars movie (and series)
  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
  • All the early seasons of The Simpsons
Nemo,

I forgot, it has all of Hulu included now, as well.

Nemo,

We had regular Disney+, then suddenly it included Hulu and we cancelled our Hulu subscription.

Nemo,

I think you mean “sesquipedalian vocabulary”

Nemo,

My local library does craft nights, open mics, movie screenings, tax help…

So any of those except tax help. Unless that’s your kink, I guess.

Nemo,

That’d be great, yeah. But scope is the issue.

“All Chicagoans have the right to public transit.” Sane and doable. Not done, not currently, as any map of the city will show you, but both possible and desirable.

“All Illinoisans have a right to public transit.” I’d love to see it, even if it’s just once-a-day trains to Springfield, to St. Louis, to the Region, to Milwaukee, to Rockford, to Peoria, to Chambana. But that’s a lot more train lines than we have now, and that means land for stations and RoWs, it means manpower and materials for maintenance, it means working out the logistics of scheduling and fare pricing for the communities being served. And it still won’t cover everyone unless augmented with bus lines, which also need logistics, manpower, and maintenance. Still desirable; not very efficient, especially for a perpetually cash-strapped state like Illinois.

“All Americans have a right to public transit.” At that point it’d be empty words, doing more harm than good.

“All humans have a right to public transit.” At this point, purely aspirational rather than descriptive.
