stephenitis··on More than 140 Kenya Facebook moderators sue after diagnoses of PTSD
hey kid, hope you're having a good life. I'll look at the screen full of the worst the internet and humanity has produced on the internet for eight hours.

I get your idea but in the context of this topic I think you're overreaching

stephenitis··on AI Is the Black Mirror
Our biggest characteristic is resource consumption and technology production I would say.

War is just a byproduct of this on a scarce world.

I agree, I don't want to have to buy batteries separately, bad buyer experience.
stephenitis··on Australia: Kids under 16 to be banned from social media after Senate passes laws
So let's not even try?

if we made some basic modules we could improve as time goes on and more research and data comes out.

Early sex education surely wasn't perfect and the science understood when they started teaching it in our schools.

This sounds like a good idea, at least actively educate them about the psychological game they may choose to play
stephenitis··on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
What is the attendant feature?

Wow they really didn't upgrade to the H2 chip! I preordered this without looking too closely as I've been waiting forever for an upgrade to buy this. Very strange.

Seriously let's hope he builds a great team, gets the infrastructure he needs, and nails this!

stephenitis··on Ilya Sutskever's SSI Inc raises $1B
Holmes defrauded physics.

Sutskever is asking for funds for a research project that hopefully will end in a profitable SSI/AGI.

We need to inflation adjust the concept of unicorns.
stephenitis··on Heartbroken by the Sonos App Disaster and What's Happened to the Company
My Sonos experience has been fine eight years now 10+ devices.

That said I do dislike the new app rollout.

I do feel like there has been 500ms to 2 seconds of added lag in certain actions. I can't quite place what's going on though. Not enough to be a deal breaker yet.

I feel the surround sound experience has been very hit or miss but can't tell if it's Sonos or the media platform I'm watching videos on.

Apple is a large beast for sure.

With as much expertise as the author has. I didn't read solutions or ways forward. I suppose the main objective is awareness?

I live on a 4 way corner of a small small neighborhood roundabout that teenagers like to speed around. One teen drunkenly crashed into our parked car overnight.

stephenitis··on Samsung's abandoned NX cameras can be brought online with a $20 LTE stick
I jumped from a 216 Canon 80D to a Sony A7RV.

It was sort of an insane jump but I'm having an amazing experience.

I told the wife I'd take very nice photos of a kid to try to justify the cost.

The glass alone can be $750- 1-3k. I'm borrowing glass rn.
