  • What's the most visually appealing phone you've had so far?

    Jump

  • I sadly had to retire my Key2, easily the nicest phone I've owned since 1994.

    I bought the Titan but returned it for being so underpowered in comparison. Is the Titan Slim2 going to improve on that?

    What is a classical (Greek) rhetoric tip you know?

  • Aristotle broke it down into:

    Ethos (credibility)

    Pathos (emotional appeal)

    Logos (logical argument)

  • That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose.

  • A little understood rule of retail is:

    • Customer buys something, has neutral opinion.
    • Product has a problem, customer has negative opinion.
    • Company resolves problem well, customer now has positive opinion.

    That's a very important lesson for organisations to learn. A customer complaint is a golden advertising opportunity.

  • Balancing ethos, pathos, and logos is still the bedrock of political speeches, marketing campaigns, and courtroom arguments.

    Also, beware the Sophists who argue well regardless of the truth.

  • New Army Shaving Policy Will Allow Soldiers with Skin Condition that Affects Mostly Black Men to Be Kicked Out

    Jump

  • Hegseth was complaining in March that 'good soldiers' were being kicked out because of tattoos. But I guess because he has tattoos, that's unfair?

    Now, he says standards are falling so he's kicking people out because of beards.

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

    Jump

  • So many confident takes on AI by people who've never opened a book on the nature of sentience, free will, intelligence, philosophy of mind, brain vs mind, etc.

    There are hundreds of serious volumes on these, not to mention the plethora of casual pop science books with some of these basic thought experiments and hypotheses.

    Seems like more and more incredibly shallow articles on AI are appearing every day, which is to be expected with the rapid decline of professional journalism.

    It's a bit jarring and frankly offensive to be lectured 'at' by people who are obviously on the first step of their journey into this space.
