The main problem with the Pro is that it completely fails at the thing it was primarily marketed for: AR passthrough.

The cameras are so bad that when you use video passthrough, everything is blurry. It’s completely unusable. No one will ever use it for productivity tasks in its current form. Meta should have just focused on making a high end gaming version because they failed at making it usable for anything business related.

Sugar is only part of it. Corn and wheat based products are just as bad.

The truth has to do with food availability as well, not just what it’s made of.

Food availability has increased in the US over the past 50+ years, to where we have over 4000 calories per person a day now. Easy access to unhealthy food is a major contributor to our obesity. People don’t even understand what a healthy diet looks like and have a very poor grasp on how much to eat. We just eat until we’re stuffed and then wonder why we’re fat.

It’s especially tough as people age. I’ve been tracking my diet for 180+ days, eating under 1800 calories a day, and I still struggle with losing weight. Without a lot of effort towards eating the right amount and the right foods, people get fat.

I think there’s a lot of people that still haven’t gotten the memo that they shouldn’t be using Twitter or reddit. People still need to be reminded of exactly why if we ever want to see a full shift away from those platforms.

Unfortunately, those messages need to be posted elsewhere because they really aren’t reaching the right audience here. We came here to escape those platforms so the constant shit posting about them is a huge annoyance.

It’s more complex than that.

The way the US is spread out makes public transit prohibitively expensive and difficult to achieve proper coverage. To make it effective, you would have to shift the entire way we live. Our entire society is built off the concept that everyone has a car.

Add to the fact that building transit is extra expensive in the US and you arrive at the reality that we will NEVER have a working transit system. That’s why the shift to small cars is needed. We don’t have any more room for roads, so we need more cars to fit in the roads we have

Yeah while this suit covers a very specific scenario, a large majority of AI driven content does have human interaction and does qualify for copyright.

Even just a draft, fed into an AI finishing system, has some human interaction. Nothing is going to stop the AI revolution.

I moved to natural sources (sugar and stevia) and I only do half doses. All this stuff is way too sweet and it’s crazy that the boomer generation just let things get so out of hand.

NFTs were doomed anyway because AI art can do such a better job than artists and completely flooded the market.

I don’t really agree with this sentiment.

Are they dipshits?

Yes

Should Sothebys lose all credibility and be fined for faking an auction?

Also yes.

Should Bored Ape owners get any of their money back?

Naaaaaaaaaaaw

This crosses certain lines that are beyond just: huuuur crypto dumb

I really hoped that the mask stigma would change, but it’s sad to see it go this way. I might just start wearing a mask again to do my part to normalize it.

If people are sick, they should feel like it’s the right thing to do to wear a mask. It needs to be a normal thing and people that make fun of it are pieces of shit .

Other studies show that in health-care workers, n95 vs medical masks made almost no statistical difference.

However, the use of masks in the public is not necessarily to protect yourself. It’s to keep you from spreading germs in a wide range if you cough. It’s the same concept as herd immunity with vaccinations. We all help protect each other.

So with that in mind: wear a washable cloth mask.

What a genius getaway vehicle.

I’m also not sure if using AI for something like this is cost effective.

Google left their “do no harm” motto in the dust long ago and is one of the largest internet monopolies of all time. Both companies suck in that regard.

But yeah, google search is getting worse and worse every day.

Crypto is still incredibly healthy. Bitcoin has been stable at $30k.

Is it still a big scam? Maybe. But what happened with FTX was just good ol corruption.

Anyone with exposure to Crypto either already collapsed, or wound down their position, so there wasn’t a huge effect on markets. AI will be similar. Some VC will fail, but it’s not the same as the dotcom bubble. It won’t cause a recession

OpenAI may fail if Microsoft doesn’t keep throwing money at it, but they already got what they want out of it. They’ll probably just end up acquiring the foundation and make money from the ways they’re implementing it in their products.

This seems like an “if you build it, they will come” situation. We clearly don’t have a thriving chip maker industry in this country, so it’s going to take a while to build that job market.

I thought the US gov was dedicated to making this happen no matter the cost?

Microsoft reported profitability in their AI products last quarter, with a substantial gain in revenue from it.

It won’t take long for them to recoup their investment in OpenAI.

If OpenAI has been more responsible in how they released ChatGPT, they wouldn’t be facing this problem. Just completely opening Pandora’s box because they were racing to beat everyone else out was extremely irresponsible and if they go bankrupt because of it then whatever.

There’s plenty of money to be made in AI without everyone just fighting over how to do it in the most dangerous way possible.

I’m also not sure nVidia is making the right decision trying their company to AI hardware. Sure, they’re making mad money right now, but just like the crypto space that can dry up instantly.

This does sound like planned obsolescence to me…

Oop CPU sales are down! Leak one of our critical flaws to force people to upgrade!

Fuck everyone that played OW2

How stupid do you have to be to see this train wreck coming and still contribute.

Hopefully after OW2 and Diablo 4, people finally stop downloading Blizzard games.

Unfortunately, a majority of the population like the ad based free service model, so here we are.

True. The only personalized ads I ever receive are for products I literally just purchased.

I don’t know how there’s so much money in the ad space. It just seems like a huge waste.
