  • I do have an antenna and get some decent channels with it

  • You're not wrong, although I think I'd still have to wait for the smart-TV OS to load and navigate the menu to select the Cable input.

  • TV.

    I hate the smart-TV workflow, its a terrible user experience: Turn the TV on... wait for the smart-TV OS to load... land on an app menu... navigate around and choose an app... wait for the app to load... select a profile... wait for the list of shows to load... scroll almost endlessly through shows... choose a show, finally... wait for the video to load...

    I miss when you turned the TV on and it was just instantly playing whatever channel you last had on, with one single interaction. I miss not having to make the conscious choice of what to watch and feel overwhelmed by so many options. I miss TV programs being a common experience, like an event, that everyone would be talking about together the next day, instead of everyone watching their own thing on their own schedule.

  • No, I'd definitely agree that AI sentiment overall is pretty negative. I am not such a hardliner, but they are definitely out there. I don't see it as astroturfing at all, to even suggest this is ironic because LLMs are the ultimate astroturfing tool. The institutions capable of astroturfing do support AI and are using it. What institution or organization are you accusing of anti-AI astroturfing, exactly? This question requires an answer for that claim to be taken seriously.

    IMO the problem is not LLMs itself, which are very compelling and interesting for strictly language processing and enable software usecases that were almost impossible to implement programmatically before; the problem is how LLMs are being used incorrectly for usecases that they are not suited for, due to the massive investment and hype. "We spent all this money on this so now we have to use it for everything". It's wrong. LLMs are not knowledge stores, they are provably bad at summarization and as a search interface, and they should especially not be used for decision making in any context. And people are reacting to the way LLMs are being forced into all of these roles.

    People also take strong issue with their perceived violation of intellectual property and training on copyrighted information, viewing AI generated arts as derivative and theft.

    Plus, there are very negative consequences to generative AI that aren't yet fully addressed. Environmental impact. Deepfakes. They're a propaganda machine; they can be censored and reflect biases of the institutions that control them. Parasocial relationships, misguided self-validating "therapy". They degrade human creativity and become a crutch. Impacts on education and cheating. Replacement of jobs and easier exploitation of workers. Surveillance.

    All of these things are valid and I hear them all from people around me, not just on the internet.

  • Why is open source software assumed to be secure?

  • If you want to see the source code of Photoshop, you actually need to work for Adobe. Otherwise, you need to be some kind of freaking retro-engineering expert.

    What you're describing is known as "security through obscurity", the practice of attempting to increase security of a system by hiding the way the system works. This practice is highly discouraged, as it is known to not actually be effective at increasing the security of a system.

    Security by obscurity alone is discouraged and not recommended by standards bodies. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States recommends against this practice: "System security should not depend on the secrecy of the implementation or its components."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity#Criticism

    Isn't that actually also helping hackers?

    No, by sharing the implementation details of the system, it helps those trying to keep it secure by allowing anyone to inspect, discover, and contribute fixes to security flaws.

    Open-source software is not perfect and is suceptible to security flaws and vulnerabilities, but it is better and more secure than closed-source software in every way. Every risk that applies to open-source software also applies to closed-source software, but worse.

  • I'm a privacy advocate, but I do not believe that the cameras themselves are the main threat to privacy, and do not necessarily have a problem with cameras placed in any of the locations you listed, given the following conditions:

    The camera system is closed circuit with the footage stored securely on a device on the premises, not connected to or stored on the internet, not combined and analyzed automatically/algorithmically with other footage and data, and the footage is deleted or overwritten after a reasonable period of time.

    I believe the main threats to privacy involve how the footage is stored and analyzed.

  • There is no one "correct" color circle. And your misguided beliefs about color theory do not have anything to do with LLMs.

    By the way, they're called "additive colors", not "active colors". 🙃
