  • The big problem with that is potentially: you get one crank against one serious person, the crank can just gish-gallop and the serious person will need hours just to untangle the web of lies.

  • the original intent he had of letting people defend their weird positions is a good one imo.

    If people were meant to defend their weird positions, that would mean that Rogan was supposed to give pushback.

    That was clearly never going to happen, because he'd need to seriously investigate his guests claims beforehand.

    So instead we got a podcast that's filled with obvious misinformation with hardly a critical note from Rogan. Dumbing down his audience with BS. Causing more distrust for experts, and anti-intellectualism.

  • Good point, but given that I don't say anything in my bed room (I live alone, and I don't date), I wish it good luck hearing anything.

  • Yeah it kinda sounds like it. The eier kind of sounds like hey, and koeken sounds a bit like Google.

    I've had a few other accidental activations, that I couldn't explain that easily, even from podcasts, that I decided that I didn't need it. But in Android Auto I couldn't find to option to turn off the activation phrase, so instead I turned it off completely.

  • My Google speaker only hears me say “hey Google, set an alarm in x hours” and “stop”. Good luck profiling me.

    And I turned off the Google assistant in my car. It was more a nuisance than a blessing. It would trigger if you said “eierkoeken” which was hilarious when we were talking about those things during a road trip.

  • The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury

  • The fact that Meta is so desperately trying to destroy this book and its author must mean that it's factual to a tee. I hope we can Streisand Effect this into the NYT Best Sellers list.

  • it says a lot about the alt right wing of society... they demand empathy when they feel slighted, but don't feel an ounce of empathy towards others.

    This is also the reason why the alt right wing only balks at problems when it directly affects them personally. If it doesn't affect them, it's not a problem, because other people's experiences don't matter/count/exist. And there's no need to learn from other people's mistakes.

  • You know who else thought empathy was a weakness? That German party from the 1930s that turned out to be really bad for the world...
