"Up to the Twentieth Century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see, and hear. Since the initial publication of the chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear is less than one-millionth of reality." -Bucky Fuller

  • Glad you enjoyed!

  • This breaks my fucking heart.

    I was in and out of children's hospitals from birth to legal adulthood. The fact that these children and their parents are being forced to feel fear, hopelessness, rage, on top of all the fear and stress they must feel, just fucking God dammit I don't know how I'm supposed to stop drinking in 2024 man God Almighty

  • I'm very happy to hear that :)

  • You're very welcome, I'm glad you liked it! I'm kind of obsessed with this guy and his band, lol. Here's another good one.

    Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI

  • I have no doubts about that either, myself. Though even if such an abomination of a doppelganger were to exist, and it seems that these companies are hellbent on making it so, it would be worse for the reasons you described previously: prolonging and molesting the grieving process that human beings have evolved to go through. All in the name of a dollar. I apologize for being so bitter about this (this bitterness is not directed at you, frog), but this entire "AI' phenomenon fucking disgusts and repulses me so much I want to scream.

  • We have a box of old recipe cards from my grandmother that my wife cherishes. My parents gifted them to her because out of all their daughter-in-laws, she is the one that loves to cook and explore recipes the most. I just can't imagine someone wanting something like that in a sterile technological aspect like an "AI-powered" app.

    "But Trev, what if you used an LLM to generate summaries-" no, fuck off (he said to the hypothetical techbro in his ear).

  • The square button second from the bottom mutes the audio. I've taken to carrying a marker in my car and writing "<--- MUTE" next to them. Alternatively, a small screwdriver between the speaker grating.

  • Basically this, for me. I want my devices to be more dedicated to a singular purpose, so I'm not tethered to my phone all day. Having a camera, an MP3 player, and a handheld makes my actions feel more purposeful. Building off that, having a "one-stop-shop" type of device or service or anything really imo makes the overall experience worse. Think Wal-mart versus a dedicated electronics store or something.

  • What's the use of autonomy when a button does it all?

  • Yeah true, kid-me would be very proud that I'm opposed to anti-labor practices!

  • I believe Tim means to say that the spread of misinformation can be linked to the rise of Flat Earthers. That if we can only trust what we see before us, and we see a flat horizon, we can directly interpret this visual to mean that the Earth is flat. Thus, if we cannot trust our own eyes and ears, how can future courtroom evidence be trusted?

    ^ basically that

  • I will drive my 2003 Envoy I inherited into the ground, and after that it's a 2008 Camry, and then I'll ride that into the ground. Good God, if kid-me would have known adult-me would have turned into a Luddite..
