I don’t think it’s going to be pay-per-view, so I don’t see how there would be an option for a charge back.

Advertisers will pay by the stream, regardless of whether anyone is actually watching.

I’m not convinced that advertising will be allowed, at least not this first time. If enough people watch, it could become a regular spectacle, and then it could eventually be monetized in that way.

I think that a streaming service or a social media platform will do it simply “for the exposure” to get people to sign up for their service.

Oh, fuck. It’s going to be a Truth Social exclusive, isn’t it?

It depends on the usage.

If the user is reading the response and then thinking about it and adapting the suggestions to their own style of speaking, maybe they’ll learn something over time. Studies have shown that students who use LLMs as a tutor do improve their understanding of material.

If they’re copy/pasting like most of the world, then there’s evidence to suggest that they’ll actually get worse at the thing they’re offloading to the LLM.

Typically, one expects a “bar” to have beer and liquor and the ability to make at least basic mixed drinks (rum and Coke, gin and tonic, etc.).

A “beer bar” usually has a wider variety of beers on draft and no liquor or mixed drinks.

And as it is such, so also as such is it unto you.

Bon Jovi was one of the most popular bands of the '80s. They were a part of the mainstream that Alternative Rock was supposed to be an alternative to.

Billie Holiday started offending parts of her audience by singing “Strange Fruit” in 1939.

And, ideally, when the City of Fargo has to eat the cost (because the contract with the tech company likely specifies that a facial recognition match is not sufficient grounds for arrest), it and every other municipality using similar tech will change its policing practices.

But probably the city will just quietly take responsibility for the damages after a session of contractually required private mediation, and nobody will learn a lesson.

Even just a couple of commas would help.

Because with AI, no bad can happen, it can only good happen.

To clock: to register on a mechanical recording device

Code violations: things about a property that do not meet standards according to local ordinances

I read his statement as:

I choose to use my fame and platform to shield myself and avoid uncomfortable conversations that might result in the alienation of some of my fans.

If it came from the old world as “Knicky Knocky,” it would make sense* that the racist US version would sound similar to that.

/* As much as any racist shit “makes sense,” of course.

Because in order for their belief system to be passed down though generations, they had to make suicide a sin. Otherwise they would actually kill themselves to get to Heaven more quickly.

I have known Evangelicals who refused medical treatment because they were “ready to be with Jesus.”

This is what I see, too. I’m in South America with my location turned off and a VPN running on my device with a US IP address.

I know a lot of people who voted for Trump the first time because “he says what everyone is thinking,” but when pressed, they would only reluctantly admit that they liked what he said about foreigners and minorities. But, of course, they’re “not racist or anything.”

I always felt so bad for my husband at my family events. My family is very traditional and conservative, so every event is de facto segregated by gender. The women are all in the kitchen, and the men are all in the living room or on the front porch (depending on the weather).

Acceptable topics of conversation among the men: livestock, farm equipment, and neighbors whose land is adjacent to my grandfather’s farm. My husband is a suburban guy who had been on a horse before he met me.

We were both glad when my cousins’ kids got old enough that he could play games with them. (And video games when they hit their teens.) He got bonus points with my mom and aunts for “taking care of the kids” even though he was just trying to escape the boredom of talking to the adults.

This is exactly why I stopped eating lunch in the staff lunch room. Those people are boring AF and can’t find much to talk about other than work or the gym. I’d rather eat at my desk and read a book.

I just spent the summer playing all of the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS Castlevania games. The series had its ups and downs, but the games are still fun. I think the DS titles still hold up very well.

It turns out that operating industrial production equipment while distracted is a huge safety liability.

Maybe don’t ask LLMs for translation help. Apparently because many of them are programmed in English, they still follow English structures when writing in other languages, resulting in products that are grammatically incorrect.

We have gone from reasonably-okay translation programs to “intelligent” systems that are flat-out incorrect. And somehow people believe that the incorrect ones are better.

I look forward to this particular hype train running off the rails sooner rather than later.
