It’s not meaningless because AGI = genuinely being able to replace humans in almost any job. Sure, AI is getting better at stuff that humans direct it to do, but the fact that a human is required in the loop is super meaningful.

What?

The cost of cross posting your professional YouTube video is basically nil.

You want Google to be able to know which Fable you’re interested in when you type “fable”? Sir this seems unreasonable.

Can it solve problems.

I’m not sure what sentience has to do with it.

The market runs on memes, hype and fraud. Fundamentals haven’t mattered for a long time.

> I'd like to think that any piece could stand up on its on merits without some lore being required to appreciate it.

It seems like the majority of music I listen to has no lore attached to it.

Well I’m being glib. But I do feel that smoking weed from an early age for decades has not been a cognitive benefit.

Does drug addiction? Because food noise should be viewed through that lens, and I’m no expert but I suspect our modern non tribal life and culture is the root of our abundant addiction issues.

Specifically for me it makes junk food unpleasant. My diet is now impeccable. I hardly ever have a takeaway and if I do it needs to be something that is not greasy and is good clean food.

I also find drinking alcohol much less pleasant. I still drink sometimes but after a few beers or glasses of wine it starts to become very unappealing and I stop.

I do bodybuilding and I’m still getting my 150g of protein in.

I’m barely overweight and I’m losing weight very slowly but I’ve decided I’m likely to stay on GLP’s long term, if not forever, just because the lifestyle changes have been so incredibly good.

Perhaps this helps dispel the myth that GLP drugs inherently = relentless starvation.

It’s simply that for the first time in human history women have alternative options that don’t suck. That’s literally it. Birth rates will remain high only in socially conservative highly religious countries. Liberal democracies? No chance.

But that economic situation is not contingent on the Internet, it’s unrelated.

> I would argue some of the best known bands came from the pre-internet era (Beatles, Rolling Stones etc).

Of course, that’s what you would expect. Pre Internet music was more curated, there were less bands finding ears but the bands that were popular were therefore much more popular. The internet gives the music consumer WAY more options. The biggest bands are less big and less successful, but on the other end of that is it’s WAY more possible to have a music career as a niche artist today. A huge percentage of the music I listen to is music that would have been completely inaccessible to me pre-internet.

I feel it.

> I as a individual won’t get arrested for speaking my mind

Assuming you’re not a violent bigot you would also be fine in the UK.

> Moreover, let’s not forget about how Biden government tried to silence Rogan.

So your response to my claim that the US is worse is to point to other anti free speech practices by previous US governments? Well done!

Which service is putting out all the high quality stuff then, and what is it? Any examples?

I’m not arguing that social media is a net benefit to society, but you’re acting like it’s all downsides. It’s been an extreme economic enabler for a lot of people. There are many people earning money independently who would have really struggled to put themselves in a position to do that 20 years ago. For independent businesses or artists it’s an invaluable promotional platform.

Crazy take. Severance, Silo, Pluribus just off the top of my head. You don’t think they are high quality shows?

I used to watch a lot of true crime and now if child abuse is involved I just cannot do it.

Not getting the relevance of this comment.

Industry famously never makes mistakes due to short term thinking.

Everyone laughed at Trump because what he did was stupid. Selective tariffs have always made sense in certain contexts and have never been controversial.

When the agent is becoming more accurate and thorough what would you expect to be reported?

At least in the UK we’ve recently had 14 years of right leaning party and they might have different rhetoric around it but clearly no one has the stomach to do anything meaningful. Most right leaning voters are old people who love drinking up that welfare.

Why is your comment identical to another comment in this thread?

The UK can arrest you for hate speech. You can disagree with that policy on free speech terms if you want, and that’s really a maximal free speech position. It’s a very strange position to hold if you’re claiming that the U.S. is better when it comes to free speech. The U.S. administration is engaged in active smear campaigns against anyone who speaks loudly against them, threatened to revoke licenses of media companies, they’re suing people and corporations to silence them and pressure them into conformance, they’re threatening to deport people who are simply expressing anti-Israel views, threatened to remove funding from universities, deployed the military in cities they don’t like for no other reason than intimidation of political rivals. This is just off the top of my head.

There’s just no comparison really. You must really be inhaling some nonsense X propaganda if you think government overreach is worse in Western Europe.

That’s not the EU.

It’s called a protection racket. If you’re insured then the you are assured nothing bad will happen.

I want it. As someone who’s trying to keep their kids off screens and social media it’s easier to win the battle when it’s illegal. If I have to provide ID I’ll probably stop using it to and that’s good. Shit is garbage. Hopefully this becomes a global thing and we might get classic internet back, when it was actually good, before social media…

Great comment.
