I think his music all was taken off the air as well.

It's not to look attractive, it is so you can have fun looking the way you want. That goes for both situations. A side consequence is if you focus on looking how you want, you will attract people who like you the way you look when you feel your best.

The country has 5% of the population density of Europe. As much as I want some of the infrastructure to be more pedestrian it isn't viable for at least half of the country. Maybe in another 200 years.

This is a tale older than AI. Most of the AI productivity pushes I struggle to get adopted fail not because of AI bad or its too hard to do. They fail because of a broken CI/CD pipeline. They fail because some team thinks their process is sacred and unique.

If M$ releases a dx13 where the api is worse and the primary feature is copilot integration we might see more vulkan native games. So far they have been smarter than that...

Being subject to social pressure doesn't make you weak or less than. It is a normal part of being a social animal.

Why? I consistently see these anti AI purity tests come up.

We need people who are skeptical to engage on AI.

People hate technology and change. Before AI it was smartphones. Before smartphones it was photoshop/digital art and CGI. Before CGI it was the Internet. Before Internet it was TV. Before TV it was cars. Before cars it was industry. Before industry it was books.

Someone probably was anti cave paintings because it ruined the skill of passing down the stories by word of mouth.

Something is always coming along that is both horrible for society as it is and something we come to accept as common place. You can want to return to our roots but even that I guarantee you would still pick some level of technology you don't want to do without.

My worry is that the people we need engaged on AI because they have a healthy mindset to question and wrangle it, are instead being forced to ignore AI or pledge to be anti AI by their social circles and customers.

So instead we have absolute Kool aid drinkers driving the AI adoption.

We went through this with the internet but I think a lot of folks now are too young to remember it and unsurprisingly the people who were anti internet didn't store their concerns and complaints in the currently used modern repository of all knowledge.

Do we really want patents on open source projects that help track the quality of a night sky for photography?

Is there really an issue if such an application just is slopped out there?

YuzuKey flavored verification cans can keep you authenticated for 2 to 8 hours.

Everything is guessing, only death is certain. I've worked with AI/ML for over 15 years long before folks got all hot and bothered by it. Your examples you give are great because if you walked up to a person and just said 5 you might get as random of answers and you gave.

Assuming by AI you mean LLMs, because that is what is hot on social media today, they use statistical probability models to be able to rate their input to output consistency. It is measurable but could never be 100%. No compute or person is 100%, but an LLM is orders of magnitude less consistent than traditional compute.

I use AI on a daily basis. I trust it less than people, but I also am able to feed it dumb questions which is nice.

No
