There’s an argument that art doesn’t need to be good or bad, that art makes us think and discuss. I would argue that this piece has done that, because here we are discussing it.
Another way to think of it is you saying “anyone could do it” , which then the response is “but no one did”
Oh absolutely agree, but this is where they can use it.
The dev can say that they obviously need an official plugin, and work with them on that because now they have 1,800 clones of an unofficial one that may not be optimized.
We also get to know that our tiny HA community has hit a critical mass large enough to get a corpo to freak out a bit
Yeah, honestly it’s crazy but I also understand. In Seattle there are some real dumps out there, but the dump isn’t what they’re selling for 170k. That’s just the value of the land. A townhouse on a quarter acre is 500k out here, they probably took a picture of the structure so the buyer knows they’ll have to knock it down
Good take here. Quality content is quality content. Spam is spam. AI art can be quality or spam. I say label it as AI but don’t ban, just enforce the rules about spam
“Normal” is a funny word - it’s means something that’s completely relative to you and your experiences. So for me, I’d ask:
People that went to high school with only 1 floor, did you think that was a bit odd?
People live different lives, normal means different things to different people. Let this be a good lesson to learn: Where you went to school, what your family cooks for dinner, if you drive/walk/take the train to work/school, if you speak one language - none of what you know as “normal” is normal to someone else. More importantly, someone else who experienced different things are not “odd” and those things are also not “odd” - they are just as normal to them as yours are to you. People aren’t different, odd, or weird - they’re just people. They just had different experiences. Obviously I’m alluding to things, but generally even the most base thoughts like this I like to reinforce that idea.
A better way to ask that may have been upvoted would have been “People who attended high school with 3+ stories, what was that like compared to a 1-story high school?” and give an example of how you only experienced a 1 story.
For me, so many crowded stairwells between classes. You learned what floors had the best bathrooms.
I believe you’re asking if health companies purchase the data. So I’ll make the assumption that maybe you’re a smoker and you’re wondering if your data will be purchased that you smoke and participate in smoking communities.
The official answer is no, and I doubt they are specifically purchasing that.
However, I think this is going to get very muddy very quickly over the next few years, as I don’t believe there are any laws (in the US) protecting us from health companies purchasing that info. At this point it’s been fairly difficult, but with machine learning and generative AI it’s going to be relatively simple to say “From all of the information you have about {user} tell me if they are a smoker, and if so how long they have been smoking” and then code to say if true and greater than 5 then put them in a higher insurance bracket.
So, I guess I’ll say probably not, but I wouldn’t risk it if you’re real worried.
I empathize that they’re happy to have a job - but at the same time they only have a job because they’re being exploited.
We hate outsourcing because we can clearly see them choosing cheaper labor overseas instead of paying qualified workers locally.
They should also hate outsourcing because companies are going to their countries because they are perceived as easily exploitable, will work overly long hours, and be underpaid.
Yeah this sounds pretty dang selfish of OP. You gave two people their entire lives, new hopes and dreams, and yeah their friend circle is going to be tight for the rest of their lives…
But them doing couple things makes you jealous? Sounds like something OP needs to work on internally and figure out how to deal with those feelings
