  • A really big percentage of what you use is tested on thousands and more lab mice etc, and they do die in process often.

    Not that I disagree, just real world works this way. We eat animals, we test on animals, we have been using animals for propulsion for most of our history. Also for coloring cloth, also for making it in case of silk, etc.

    So ... do you take any medicine at all?

  • Well, if I'd have paralysis, with some probability I'd want to try even knowing all about Musk.

    There's that problem though with Musk apparently being too excited about putting a cord in one's skull. Instead of, I don't know, scanning for brain waves and analyzing patterns? I know literally nothing of the domain area, it's just that maybe subtlety is a good thing.

  • The interesting thing with these type of news stories is for me, that any time I look up the haircut the school banned, it’s mostly a really good looking cut.

    Some schoolteachers become that to feel themselves important. Or powerful. After all, they are in charge of a whole group of little people. Almost like an army officer (I got a really indignated and hateful look from one such teacher after politely pointing out that teachers are not, in fact, similar to army officers, they do not command and do not bear power and responsibility).

    That is, they come for obedience and feeling of self-importance ("I'm teaching them, I must be very smart, yeah, or at least they fear me"), and even bad wages do not make them try and find another trade.

    So they just envy kids who have a differing look from other kids, especially if it's a good one. It makes them feel that those kids are less obedient.

    (Sorry for that tone of disgust and contempt in my comment, Russian schools and all that.)

  • I mean, it can be an API using a format easily put into human speech, and then machine-recognized. Said format would be a language, or even a code, intended for human-machine interaction via speech, like there are codes intended for error correction in various media with varying nature of errors.

    So that humans would be able to give voice commands almost in natural language.

    Only this wouldn't be such groundshaking news, older Internet protocols like SMTP and FTP already are human-readable.

    This also wouldn't cost nearly as much as the title implies.

  • Maybe because there's that concept of entropy in Markovian processes. Or in simpler words - the bigger share AI-created stuff holds in the whole corpus of texts we read and use, the more degenerate they become over time.

    Eh, guess, this doesn't look simpler, but I'm just clumsy with words. The general idea is clear, I hope.

  • Usually if something is as easy for another person as it is for you, then they've been as successful in it as you have. That's all I have to say about your readiness to judge others with that implication that you are better.

    Ah, actually visited that link of yours, clicked through one article and it does look good. The only catch is that I'm confident most people with such problems haven't ever heard about this guy and his website.

  • Seems likely. I mean, reading stuff from the 90s, it seems he had his brains in order then, just with that bad habit of putting his d*ck into too many places. And cocaine may not necessarily make one that demented.

    It's kinda sad. I'd really like to die before I turn into something like this, no matter how.
