You have 27 governments reacting to the agenda set by the powers on both hemispheres (defense spending, tariffs, proxy wars, etc) you don't think enough influence has been bought?

Isn't this common on Medium and other SEO slop that has dominated the web in the past 10-15 years?

It's funny to see the fast switch from "NIMBYs are killing affordable housing and progress" to no datacenters in my back yard.

Is it not possible to judge that certain approach is more likely to bring unforseen controlable problems than another by analyzing how it works without assessing it's output? No "feeling" is needed

Broadcasting private photos of children to strangers and corporations was common until 2010s? Were you posting them on classified section on newspapers in 1999?

While I understand all the noise from AI content I've got to say the noise around the noise of AI content is getting louder and louder. Accusations of AI use and throwing pangram "evidence" is getting as tiring as the low effort noise that AI is enabling. Can't we just go back to upvote for "i liked" and downvote for "i didn't like" regardless of how content has been created?

The takeaway i see here is you attach "AI" to anything and people automatically go into AI-yuk mode.

It's mindless tribalism/wokism in different form.

I think the way to do it is to think of this as your own browser that can also be used by agents (with granular permissions). I use the browser for 5h today and my patterns then inform another 12h of agent use

I dont know if "cannot" is the right verb here. I bet if you asked enough euromericans if they'd choose to live with extended family the answer would be "only in extreme and deprived circumstances".

Isn't a common excuse for not having children that couples can't afford their own home?

I investigated this path. In terms of comparable performance per watt komapnio laptops are competitive. But not on price. Then there's the aspect of how open/closed each ecosystem is. While iOS is an prison like ecosystem, macos still remains quite open, more open than many chromebooks.

Asahi linux exist and i was surprised to see that these arm chromebooks just lack bios/uefi that allows me to install anything other than chromeos.

So, yeah, you can virtualize other OS on chromeos but so can you on macos

QR payments in china was already prevasive before contactless payments became prevasive in the west. And as others say: not all phones supported nfc at the time. Remember iBeacons on iP5? Wechat and Alipay was already everywhere by then

New comment by 627467 in "The Oscars just banned AI from winning acting and writing awards"

627467 — Sun, 03 May 2026 23:49:56 +0000

> banned ai from winning acting

Aren't most cgi acting already unable to be nominated for acting award - even when theres much more deliberate human involvement in the cgi acting? Or maybe they could have been nomination but never was? I see no ambiguity here: if there's no actor that performed anything for the genAI result there's no actor to be nominated. Does this need clarification?

> banned ai from winning writing awards

I'm going to be looking into how this is enforced/investigated. Again: a human must claim they wrote the script.
