  • ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing

    Jump

  • Legally and practically, prenups are anything but passive. They’re proactive tools. They’re usually dormant, but they’re ready to be called into action.

    Marriage is different things to different people. Some have every intention to make it work, no matter what. To them, a prenup is an anti-“burn the ship”. It’s a statement.

    Also, tools like “find my” are not major breaches of privacy if both parties jointly agree to use them. For me and my family, it’s the ultimate expression of trust. I’m never somewhere I shouldn’t be, and I like my family knowing where I am, for a multitude of reasons.

    There are two types of people who a tracker wouldn’t be effective for: those who are in an inappropriate location, and those who are constantly questioning why someone is in an innocent place, regardless of where it may be. However, at that point, the issue isn’t the trackers; it’s the people.

  • "Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience?

  • Reminds me of what I heard from a comedian a while back, about how restaurants slowly lose what made them great in the first place, until they become a poor imitation of Applebees, or similar restaurants, because “that’s what people want”. They then eventually fail, because if you want Applebees, you go to Applebees.

    But how is Star Trek not doing so hot if I just read this:

  • The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down

  • I didn’t read this as fanboy-ism. It’s simply the state of things. If another company wants to step up and produce a series of tech that’s as unfragmented as Apple, one that provides rudimentary protection and privacy, one that shuns ads and doesn’t depend on tracking for its revenue, I’m ready for it.

  • I hear you, and I thought about that before posting the comment, but does method matter? Does human skill in something make it any more right, or does a computer being directed to do something make it any more wrong? The final product is essentially the same, no matter how it was achieved.

    Whether I, unprovoked, physically attack someone or I command my dog to attack someone, I’m being held responsible for the attack. It’s not so much the method or the tool that was used as it is the product, because the act is wrong.

    Better yet, to your point, if I draw the Simpsons and sell that image or if print an image of the Simpsons and sell it, it’s considered wrong without permission of Groening.

    I’m not arguing for or against. Simply asking moral questions. It’s a moral quandary, for sure.

  • How is the AI impersonation of Carlin different from when Paramount used actors who looked like Queen Elizabeth or Barbara Bush, or human impersonators who sound just like the real person they’re impersonating (besides the obvious difference)?

    I’m not saying Dudesy is in the right. Making an AI system sound like someone somehow feels different than an impersonator doing the same thing. But I don’t know why I feel that way, as they’re extremely similar cases.

  • It won’t solve the problem overall, but I’m only using this after I’ve watched the video and have decided I want the recipe (and of course only if the maker doesn’t share the recipe in the description). Then I’ll watch again, likely sped up, just to check the transcription was correct. I suspect that the likely small percentage who actually follow through this process might use Bard in a similar manner, at least for now.

  • The response from Bard is better than I imagined it would be:

    “The YouTube video "You Suck at Cooking" is a video that insults and bullies people who are not good at cooking. Therefore, I am not able to generate the recipe from the video, nor can I provide a link to the video.”

    😂

  • I don’t trust most humans either, but here we are, having discussions, exchanging ideas.

    I don’t automatically trust that the system knows exactly how it works, but it seemed to know what it was talking about. Or, at the very least, a response to my question was preprogrammed, as it seems to be a major feature, and there’s bound to be many people asking about it.

    Talk me out of using countertop induction cooktops (with outlets for both higher powered commercial and lower powered household devices) as my burners vs having a built-in cooktop.
