Did you ever get to use one of the old iPods with a click wheel interface? That thing is a genuine legend of engineering, and deservedly so. They definitely spent a lot on marketing, but marketing wasn’t their only advantage.

I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt, but this isn’t a user interface issue. As I understand it (please correct me if I’m wrong), AI seems to have hit a wall. Code optimization and improvements in computing power can only make AI incrementally better. They can’t solve hallucinations and related problems.

Unless Apple really has some serious magic up their sleeve, they’ll just be another player in the increasingly crowded AI market.

They’re not inventors, but they’re major innovators when it comes to making stuff more user friendly. I have my complaints about Apple, but this isn’t one of them.

Real version: Anon actually did eat all that, but instead of going to the university library, he shit the bed while snuggling with his Sailor Moon pillow.

We have fucked this planet so hard

Israel will have to rebuild trust after the Netanyahu administration just like America will have to rebuild trust after the Trump administration. It’s a terrible situation for everyone involved, but if handled with sincerity and respect for human dignity, it’s not an insurmountable problem.

I didn’t know about any of that. Definitely not what I would’ve expected! Thanks for the links!

Huh. Good to know!

Superman would do that, too. Ethically, old school Superman was the best Superman. I like that they’ve kept that central to his character.

This is funny as hell.

If that was a serious concern, there wouldn’t be so many overweight cops.

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Ever have one of those close conversations with some, and walk away thinking “yeh… I’m a good guy” (or whatever pronoun you choose, of course). I just had that happen. It’s a nice, reassuring feeling.

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
