Nemo, to asklemmy in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

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, to asklemmy in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

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, to asklemmy in What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

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

Nemo, to asklemmy in Anyone else do "last chance socks"?

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

Nemo, to asklemmy in Anyone else do "last chance socks"?

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

Nemo, to asklemmy in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

Introduced my kids to the David Lynch adaptation of Dune.

Nemo, to asklemmy in Are Donald Trumps speeches nothing but largiloquent dithyrambs?

I think you mean “sesquipedalian vocabulary”

Nemo, to fuck_cars in What if We Had the Right to Public Transport?

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.

Nemo, to asklemmy in Let's get raunchy

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

Nemo, to asklemmy in You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it?

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

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, to asklemmy in People with Disney+, how's the movie selection?

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

Nemo, to asklemmy in People with Disney+, how's the movie selection?

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

Nemo, to asklemmy in People with Disney+, how's the movie selection?

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