He’s reaping what he saw. Things aren’t looking good for him nor his father, a lesson both of them will painfully learn from. Father career is possibly over.

This reminds me of the time when I got lost when visiting LA about 20 year ago. Asked some guy on the street for help. He gave me directions as he was smirking at me. Turns out he pointed me in the opposite direction from where I was going to and most likely he was just being a dick.

Content farms, whether AI generated or not their incentive is to pump out low quality high output. Most of their content even it involves a human narrator are heavily packed with AI generated media.

New AI narration is a dead giveaway to us but many people can’t tell they’re not listening to a human. It is very concerning.

AI content including youtube videos, podcasta and such need a stamp that content was AI generated.

How about don’t do that at all in digital public squares?

They stopped doing it “in jurisdictions where it is illegal”.

What do you mean? The layoffs have nothing to do with people loving their jobs or being loyal to their employers.

Yes, thats a win but use it casually when needed because it depletes you. You can’t change your nature, but you can oscilate it here and there. A drink helps too

Thats not quite true. The “lone genius” type went against the grain and created something new while still showing some skill (well, that’s debatable in modern art).

Good. However, on a smaller phone such as Iphone SE the viewport gets cropped all around and I don’t see around 20% of the content.

I guess there’ll be less collaboration and less sharing with the outside world, people will still collaborate/share but within smaller circles. It’ll bring an end to the era of sharing is caring interent as it doesn’t benefit anyone but few big players
