Musk looks like Kara Swisher in this photo.

Vibrancy was turned up.

I dunno. It just looks like a photo taken with a high end digital camera to me.

We need to make more laws like this.

It says my report is “in review” and I’ll be notified when they review it.

I wonder how that will go, and how fast.

I assume they have mechanisms to just push mass reports into a black hole. Or similar.

I don’t think giving the temperature knob to end users is the answer.

Turning it to max for max correctness and low creativity won’t work in an intuitive way.

Sure, turning it down from the balanced middle value will make it more “creative” and unexpected, and this is useful for idea generation, etc. But a knob that goes from “good” to “sort of off the rails, but in a good way” isn’t a great user experience for most people.

Most people understand this stuff as intended to be intelligent. Correct. Etc. Or they At least understand that’s the goal. Once you give them a knob to adjust the “intelligence level,” you’ll have more pushback on these things not meeting their goals. “I clearly had it in factual/correct/intelligent mode. Not creativity mode. I don’t understand why it left out these facts and invented a back story to this small thing mentioned…”

Not everyone is an engineer. Temp is an obtuse thing.

But you do have a point about presenting these as cloud genies that will do spectacular things for you. This is not a great way to be executing this as a product.

I loathe how these things are advertised by Apple, Google and Microsoft.

Him and his libertarian friends fuck up left and right. Crashing startups and just getting more money for another. Constant recalls. Blowing up rockets until it works.

Yet they hold the government to a standard of being perfect and high performing with no room for failure. NASA can’t be blowing up rockets. As soon as they do the world comes down on them.

And Trump is the biggest fuckup of all these guys.

It’s simpler. They know that those with college degrees usually vote with the liberal bias that reality has.

Broadcasting, publishing with instant and far reach, etc. with the power of the algorithms to amplify. Whatever you want to label it. I only used “broadcasting” for the 1 to many communication. Many being more than a handful of friends. Even a website posted in the 90s was likely to only get to a few friends. Discoverability would have been a huge issue for any one kids geocities site.

It is different from word of mouth. It is another party amplifying the behavior you are saying already existed.

That’s my point. And you just stated it. The difference is they can show the world and perpetuate the “challenge” by modeling it for thousands of others instead of just their local friends/kid in the neighborhood.

you are discounting the power of the platform algorithms to connect these kids and to amplify the appearance of this behavior as normal.

Even if we agree the volume of exposure to this specific “challenge” didn’t change, a company shouldn’t be profiting off it. They shouldn’t be participating. They shouldn’t be applying their technology to optimize and enhance the delivery of the challenge to all corners of the world.

Now if you wanna discuss if this is undue burden on TikTok to monitor for these issues, that’s different.

I just strongly disagree that “whatever, this isn’t new, this has been happening since kids were invented” is a valid argument about if a platform should be policing the content. And where does it stop? Can adults challenge children? Is that fine too, because that’s surely happened before the internet too?

The following is maybe an extreme comparison to make, but kids have been showing each other themselves naked since the dawn of time, that does not mean TikTok shouldn’t monitor and address instances of kids posting themselves naked when it happens on their broadcasting/publishing/(whatever word you prefer) platform.

I never said such a thing.

This is about broadcasting. Not word of mouth. If you can point to countless examples of broadcasting, please educate me.

Was it a hip thing to challenge people on public access tv? Was it in the letters to the editor in Highlights?

Where have kids been posting videos for decades?

So the version this notification is for? Ironic.

As long as people are involved you really can't guard fully against it.

AI will save us.

Qualcomm sucks. Just my opinion.

They like to do patent and licensing shenanigans. So this situation felt like justice.

Hell yes it’s a sensory thing. The warm water and the water hitting my body. The white noise. Also, not wearing clothing. It’s all mesmerizing.

The ‌iPhone SE‌ 4 is expected to have an iPhone 14-style design, with Apple eliminating the thick bezels and Touch ID Home button of the current ‌iPhone SE‌. When the ‌iPhone SE‌ 4 launches, it will mark the end of ‌Touch ID‌ in the ‌iPhone‌ lineup.

Lame.

And then you also need to take out insurance. But you can’t get any where you are due to climate change.

Those will be some hot NICs.
