  • What subtle (or unsubtle) personality changes have you noticed in people who frequently use AI as a tool?

  • Oh yeah it's fucking annoying. The assistant without AI used to work better. Especially now that I'm controlling my lights with it.

    Although I must say that the Philips Hue mobile UI is sooo garbage that I still prefer using Gemini to change my lights. And Hue has had a few articles saying they can just use code to use the lamps themselves as motion detectors, because they're WiFi transceivers and can sense how much the connection is bothered by you moving. Which would make me stop using them if I had anything to hide.

    I mean, I know the whole "nothing to hide" isn't an argument against overt privacy invasion, but I just can't go back to using lightswitches with a lamp with one hue and intensity.

    Nuh-uh. RGB all the way.

    It's so much better using light as an alarm than an actual alarm clock. With an alarm clock the waking up is like when you wake up to a predator. Alarming. Stressful. Waking up from light is like waking up to the sun rising. Peaceful. Calm. You don't even notice it.

  • What is an issue you had to deal with in the past but not anymore and what did you do to fix it?

  • I don't have ADHD, but I've found that a daily dose of caffeine seems to keep my guts in better check. I honestly don't even like it as much, but definitely has an impact on the gut.

  • So why don't we treat excessive, unnecessary and wasteful wealth and power as an addiction that severely affects society

    Because the money addicts also happen to have all the power.

    D'you know what the first thing a drunk says when you call him a drunk? "I'm not a drunk", while getting visibly upset and often violent.

    The money addicts have all the money and all the power. And they all support each other in their delusions. And it's not just some random delusion, it's a global paradigm. So it's kinda hard to point out their delusions when theyre shared by billions of wannabe rich people.

    Even when we're literally destroying the only planet known to support life.

  • Thanks. I've been mostly listening to the 80's 90's Trek as well, because I've seen it so many times. Maybe I'll try that with the original as well, even though I haven't seen it.

  • So annoying how Google has a monopoly to just put that as default to people.

    About 2 hour's ago Gemini insisted it's 32 hours until tomorrow's BF update. It comes out in like 18 hours.

  • I think I'll rewatch lower decks.

    How many rewatch the original btw? I kinda consider myself a trekkie, but I still haven't even watched the original show and movies.

    Also I'm putting off Outlander, Daredevil Reborn, From and others for now. Just rewatching DS9 and other 80's-90's trek.

    Literal money addiction.

    Ever known anyone with a proper hard drug addiction? Them fuckers will do anything to get their fix. So will the rich. But their addiction just gives them more and more power to practice their addiction.

  • answer your silly question, it's impossible to say -

    No shit, Sherlock.

    Which is why your complaint that bringing up all the hundreds of fucking privacy laws which explicitly define privacy is "childish and facile" is goddamn hilarious.

    You're just a sore kid crying because he was wrong.

    You're an illiterate moron.

    Try to recap your point. Wait, you have none, because you too have admitted that metas glasses aren't in any way a new problem.

    That's like being so shittingly brainless that you'd argue that the drug trade was invented with tor-networks.

    You have no point you have no argument you're just moving the goalposts because your tiny little ego can't take having been wrong. I sincerely do hope you're a kid, because having a psyche like that as an adult would be pitiful.

    By 7 I was already traumatised, probably. Didn't know it back then though.

  • It's a good watch, but what I like about 90's Trek, TNG, DS9, Voyager, is that you don't even really need to watch them. You can listen to them.

    Orville is just so much better visually and has visual gags, and I can't recall them that well... yet.

    Personally finished TNG like a month ago, then went through Voyager and now am on DS9

  • Ah, thanks for the tip. I started the first season and it just seemed... insufficient.

    "muscling" through 90's television is a bit different than 2020 television when there's like 6 episodes to a season

  • Fucking lol.

    What you're doing is "moving the goalposts".

    I'll answer anyway; do you know what the resolution of an analog camera is, dipshit?

    (edit, this is literally 90 years old)

    creep defenders gonna defend creeps I guess.

    How exactly did I defend anyone by showing you laws against "creeps" from prolly before you were born? You're just pissy I proved you so thoroughly wrong. Those aren't even the first privacy laws, they're just one example.

    To think that voyeurism as a problem has just arrived because of fking meta-glasses is so childish and you're having a tantrum because you don't want to admit to being wrong in public.

  • Yeah I believe it is a problem, but not a new one. It's just made it tiny bit more convenient for the richer perverts, that's all. (Although I noticed in my years of driving taxis a (spurious?) correlation between rich and perverted. And that definition for me does not include any of what the right would consider perverted, like most LGBTQ+ even in party getup)

    It's like saying I'm dismissing uber-drivers getting robbed, because taxing drivers were robbed for literacy centuries before the invention of uber. Except that's a bad analogy, since uber needs your details whereas you can just hop into a taxi easily and anonymously.

    But idk, porch pirates were a thing before amazon delivery was so popular, now they're more plentiful, despite increase in doorbell cams.

    I'm not dismissing privacy invasions casually. I'm pointing out that the problems isn't new

    In the 90's and 00's there was a "video voyeurism" panic even, because the huge shoulderheld cameras became smaller and in the early noughts you already had tiny spycam gadgets. Disney world upskirting, upskirting on the streets, definitely harassing masseuses, etc.

    Because I think you'd agree that this was before smartphones or smartglasses, since it's from 2003 and we all know congresses of any sort aren't quick to do anything:

    ##Congress Criminalizes Video Voyeurism

    On September 21, the House approved, by voice vote, a bill (S. 1301) aimed at preventing video voyeurism. The Senate approved the measure on September 25, 2003 (see The Source, 9/26/03). It will now go to the White House for President Bush’s signature.

    Sponsored by Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH), the Video Voyeurism Prevention Act would make it a federal crime to knowingly “capture,” by videotaping, filming, or photographing, an “improper image” of another individual, defined in the bill as “an image, captured without the consent of that individual, of the naked or undergarment clad genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or female breast of that individual.” The term “broadcast” means electronically transmitting a visual image “with the intent that it be viewed by a person or persons.” In order to convict an offender of video voyeurism, prosecutors would have to show that the individual knowingly intended to capture the image.

    Del. Donna Christensen (D-VI) said that video voyeurism “is a serious crime, the extent of which has been greatly exacerbated by the Internet. Because of Internet technology, the pictures that a voyeur captures can be disseminated to a worldwide audience in a matter of seconds. As a result, individuals in the victims’ rights community have labeled video voyeurism ‘the new frontier of stalking.’”

    Stressing the need for a federal law criminalizing video voyeurism, Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) explained that many states “have passed laws that target video voyeurism to protect those in private areas, but there are fewer protections for those who may be photographed in compromising positions in public places. S. 1301 makes the acts of video voyeurism illegal on Federal lands such as national parks and Federal buildings, using the well-accepted legal concept that individuals are entitled to a reasonable expectation of privacy. It also serves as model legislation for States that have not yet enacted their own laws or need to update existing laws to account for the rapid spread of camera technology.”

    It's still a problem which needs to be addressed, but banning smart glasses is hardly the solution, because a) bans don't really work that well and b) because it's just an empty gesture for the most part, since the dedicated perverts still have their ways.
