Chris is a pretty switched on and likeable guy. His take is absolutely right, but I think you also have to tackle the people buying multiple properties as investments. Property just can't be the safest and most profitable investment in Australia. Negative gearing has to go first, but I wouldn't mind seeing further steps after that to incentivise the property moguls to sell up (or at least slow their buying).
Yeah GrapheneOS is open source bro. Probably doesn't have full compatibility with your phone if I had to guess. That's really not a like-for-like comparison to iOS.
Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO's iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can't really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.
That being said I'll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I'm tired of corporations trying to control my devices.
AI can already "find" the solution. They're not listening to it because they're looking for a magic pill that solves it without needing to change anything. We're fucked.
Agreed it was bad timing but yeah other companies have been charging more for games for years, calling it a "complete edition" or whatever, and locking people out of content of they don't pay the full price. But eh it is what it is.
You are being willfully ignorant if you think Sony has got the same negativity Nintendo has been getting recently. I have seen comments calling Nintendo a cancer on the gaming industry, calling for them to go bankrupt, etc. You can't pretend Nintendo doesn't get an undue amount of heat when they misstep. My headcanon is that the discrepancy is mostly due to 13 year olds in their edgy phase but it's still real.
This is not an argument against fair use, but against abuses of the fair use system. Everyone should be for reforming the system in such a way that it is not abused in this way, but that does not mean that we cannot implement a similar system for AI abuses.
I would assume those would fall under fair use of some kind, but you're right that those fair use laws would need some scrutiny before implementing this. I'm still cautiously optimistic about it, but yeah if I was a lawmaker I'd be thinking hard about the potential misuses of it for sure.
Because sycophants keep saying it's going to take these jobs, eventually real scientists/researchers have to come in and show why the sycophants are wrong.
Again, you're being reductive. My argument is not that we will stop practising critical thinking altogether, but that we will not need to practise it as often. Less practise always makes you worse at something. I do not need evidence for that as it is obvious.
I don't see a point to continuing this conversation if you keep reducing my argument to "nobody will think anymore".
I am glad you use AI for reasons that don't make you stupid, but I have seen how today's students are using it instead of using their brains. It's not good. We teach critical thinking in schools for a reason, because it's something that does not always come naturally, and these students are getting AI to do the work for them instead of learning how to think.
