Are you saying there used to be woodgrain lab hardware?

Honestly, I think it was so ugly it was beautiful.

Just use NewPipe/Tubular

Yeah – I wasn't expecting nature to make plastics biodegradable sooner than we did.

What app is this? (sorry)

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

That sounds sensible. Yes I have exactly the same line of thinking.

Who will take Sanders's place as the voice of the traditional Left when he dies? I love him but we have to prepare for this contingency

I would also support a wealth cap at eg. $10M, or a rule to a similar effect

Currently, talking to a face is the ultimate guarantee that you are communicating with a human (and on a subconscious level makes you try to relate, empathise, etc.). If humanoid robot technology eventually surpasses the Uncanny Valley, discovering that I'm talking to a humanoid with an LLM and that my intuitions had been betrayed would undermine the instinctive trust I give to the other party when I see a human face. This would degrade my social interactions across the board, because I'd live in constant suspicion that the humans I was talking to weren't actually human.

It is for this reason I think it should be the law that humanoid robots must be clearly differentiated from humans. Or at least that people should have the right to opt out from encountering realistic-looking humanoids.

Has the orange season come to your part of the world yet?

 

I've just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)

Man, this isn't a world I want to live in. I'm so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.

Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I'm only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser's game...

What the hell is this?

 
 

It would be far more consistent with the pronunciation of other similar words.
