There’s a chance this isn’t being done by someone who only wants Wikipedia’s data. As the amount of websites you scrape increases, your desire to use the easy tools loses out to creating the most general tool that can look at most webpages.

If they’re withdrawing to their bunkers, the surface probably isn’t that great.

I think you’re thinking of VIKI from I, Robot.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence was the movie where Haley Joel Osment was a robot kid.

So is the argument now we should act like China?

Unironically, I think most people who are going to Red Note might think so.

The first person got the implant on January 28 2024. Your clock is ticking.

Same Kenyans were probably used to train those AI models.

This doesn’t make sense. How could the “Abandon Harris” movement start late last year when Harris wasn’t even the candidate?

They are programmatically token predictors. It will never be “closer” to intelligence for that very reason. The broader question should be, “can a token predictor simulate intelligence?”

Hour vs. hour it’s the best form of transportation

You get more space, there’s no TSA, you don’t get charged for bringing luggage, you can carry on liquids, you get leg room, the wifi is decent.

But if I’m traveling a really far distance… For example, if I’m going from California to New York I’d rather go by plane. Going by train for that seems to be pretty horrible. America is in desperate need of a ground transportation that can get from California to New York quickly.

Moats. I was kidding at first, but I’m now thinking lazy rivers are modern moats.

That sounds like an adult with a social and/or psychological issue.

US Olympics is probably being overly cautious ever since Taliyah Brooks collapsed from exhaustion when they refused to delay a US Olympic trials a couple years back due to extreme heat.

Taliyah was on pace to make it to the Olympics until that happened.

Warnings probably work better on products you’re putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can’t imagine choosing to smoke.

On social media, you basically have to destroy my experience for me to stop using it in the same way. All effective options are terrible: ads, microtransactions, auto-playing unexpected sounds, nonresponsive interfaces.

I liked Devs. It had a dope concept. That show didn’t get much buzz.

Humans are as smart as they ever were. Tech is getting better. I know someone who was tricked by those deepfake Kelly Clarkson weight loss gummy ads. It looks super fake to me, but it’s good enough to trick some people.

Yes, I differentiate because I think Scarlett sounds less like her character from that movie in real life.

It sounds somewhat like her character from the movie Her to me, but based on the standards set by the entertainment industry it seems reasonable for her to lose the lawsuit. If you can’t hire an actor for a role, you can get a voice actor to do a similar voice. This is done often in animation.

Crispin Glover’s lawsuit against Back to the Future 2 could have set a precedent for image likeness, but he ended up settling, so it seems the industry is just avoiding this problem instead.

Doesn’t seem staged. The demo was imperfect in very normal ways. One imperfection was when it was referencing an old picture that he had earlier sent to the program.

I’d be more convinced it was staged if everything were perfect.

Good chatbots right now have great spelling and decent grammar. That already makes it not the worst insult.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think that makes sense. The planet Vulcan was destroyed in that 2009 movie. It exists and changed in Discovery.
