Seems like a bug on the tv part then. They should delay audio accordingly to the lag.

I wonder what will be the first year when most of the meaningful comments on hacker news will be AI generated.

Hold on, Christianity states that everyone is intrinsically valuable, that everyone is made in the image of God and we are children of God. At least it is my understanding.

Actually we may need a lot more "art directors" than we have today, especially if they are to direct AI. At least temporarily, until they get AIed as well.

The best artists will thrive, I am not so sure about the rest. It seems very likely that the simple graphic jobs will be taken over by AI.

Please explain what "smarter than eight billion people" mean? What is the smartness of eight billion people, is it some new aggregate? Do you sum it or get the mean? Are eight billion people by default always right? I am curious how it can make sense.

So, money is equal to stolen time in you view. So if I work and get paid I am a thief. It makes little sense. When I get paid I can use this money to buy someone else labor. It is a medium of exchange and it is indicator of value that I generate. In the free market place, by default, you must generate or promise to generate value to get paid.

It is an interesting theory, can you back it up? And what do you mean by exploiting?

It is a generous assumption that the intention of these guidelines is to improve.

If you are the richest man on earth and are attacked by political elites how would you defend yourself? Mind that they control, to some extent, media and institutions. There are things beyond money.

Why do you feel a need to defend political propaganda? Did you not just try to show that it is instrumental? If anything I guess you agree that there is this top down attack on Musk. Well, he became so influential that shady political interests are in play.

I would rephrase it to "political propaganda machine dislikes and distrusts Musk". It is telling that Tesla was not invited to the EV summit or that or was removed from S&P 500 ESG.

In reply I would ask them "so you think hiding passwords is wrong?" And also "so no one should share secrets with you because you cannot keep them?"

I remember that dying in this game is extremely stressful. Moreso than in any other game I played. Each death removes the XP from your character often equivalent to XX hours of effort to level up. And it is not that hard to die, so you have to put a lot of attention in what you are doing and it creates an illusion of importance. It is very addictive. I do not recommend it.
