  • Oh, crap! This is getting confusing. I think this is what happened:

    The "Friend.com" AI friend was originally named "Tab". The Basedhardware.com wearable was originally named "Friend", but "AI Friend" was turning up to much stuff, so they added Based hardware to the name.

    Then the creator of Tab renamed it "Friend" and bough Friend.com. Both AI wearable, but the Friend.com sounds more closed source than the based hardware Friend. So they are technically two different projects.

  • $99? I just ordered the parts for $50 (including shipping and handling and a 100 count on/off switches of which I only need one)

    Also confused why they say it is "always on" if it has an off switch. A TV can be always on until you turn it off. Once I build it, I'll see what can be switched around - I am hoping to get something like the superbooga extension for oobabooga (RAG vetorization of documents) working with the transcripts.

    Was a bit worried about Whisper STT, but I think it is the open source on device one, not the runs on OpenAI servers version.

  • Not one mention of the word "KOSA" in the article, had to check if this is the "appoint one person in the commerce department and have their definition of 'harmful' be what the government now can totally ban from the united states internet" bill.

    If Trump wins, "harmful" will be defined as any mention online that the United States use to be a democracy instead of a kingship.

  • I am hoping for a peaceful transfer of power and Maduro basically going: ya, I won last time very closely and lost this time. Next time a new socialist government might win. That is how democracy works - just America gets all bent out of shape when the group they like looses and calls it rigged. (And then sends a boat full of paintball-gun armed men to assainate the president)

    Of course I am already hearing things about the military stealing voting boxes and fighting in the streets, and Maduro has a history of arresting his critics and authoritarianism.

    Neither Capitalism nor Communism are bad - discatoriship, suppressing free expression, and authoritarianism should be the enemy: whether it is from Maduro's socialist thugs, Iran's mortality police, or Trump's "ya won't ever have to vote again if I get back into power" Maga insurrectionists.

  • Even if it doesn't work the same way, humans anthropomorphing pattern detection will grapple on to it as "same function, so same thing". As we slowly build general AI, other "things that don't work that way" will be attached on to it until we have a full general AI whose brain works nothing like humans but has pieces that work in similar fashions.

    Sort of like how 60 Watt LED light bulbs don't use 60 Watts. "They produce the same about of light, so they must use the same amount of energy!"

  • I've a very political continuous person - volunteer with democratic groups, do poll observing, research local Arizona ballot measures on the local news sites and ballotipedia, etc...

    I have not once seen any of these "informational pamphlets" out in the wild. Others said that they get them mailed to them, but I've never gotten one. I've seen sample ballots - but those don't have for/against arguments, just the text of the measures. They can call them "sanctified holy pre-people to be saved from the baby meat-grider" and it wouldn't really mater if no one ever reads it.
