No idea.
Hawking threw a party once to see if any time travellers would turn up.

Aneurysms are not related to neurones. They’re bulges in the walls of blood vessels related to structural weakness. They can affect vessels that supply the brain and if they burst it can be catastrophic and rapidly fatal - is this what you were thinking of?
Wikipedia link for proper definitions and examples here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurysm
Agree. Ideas, however heinous, never quite die out. But we can educate people so that they can recognise abhorrent ideology for what it is and avoid being radicalised.
Sadly the terrible ideas that lead to Nazi Germany and the horrors that came with it still abound.

Yes. Why go to all the trouble of doing very technical things when you can instead do moderately technical but very cunning things?
An old episode of the defunct Reply All podcast comes to mind: “what kind of idiot gets phished?”
How long before they can recreate enough of your keyboard and screen via webcam using the reflections from your glasses / eyeballs?
Hmmm. The last post that is visible to me at the point of the crash is the one about Mozilla finances; I’m wondering if the Canvas Timelapse one is the problem (just speculation - cannot prove it).
I don’t have that post in my feed; mine works now up until 9 hours ago; there has to be a post submitted around that time that is causing this.
Update: issue has gone for me now. No idea of the specific aetiology.
Update: no, scratch that - it was loading my All feed. Subscribed feed still results in a crash.
Hmmm. I might re-install, and also install a different iOS client and see what emerges.
Mine won’t load the subscribed feed. Maybe a post in something I’m subscribed to but you’re not?
Crashes on startup for me. Seems random but can’t be. What’s up?
Reddit admins chose to strengthen censorship and guidelines against anything that could be considered lewd.
I am not sure that this is quite correct; I got the impression that the NSFW content management / content restriction aspect was chosen to be the palatable or defensible thin end of the wedge on the road to creating increasing disparity between what was available via the official app and what could be accessed by third parties via API - my guess is that we would start to see gatekeeping of things like sport content and maybe some sponsored subreddits etc.
Reddit admins chose the path of strict regulation and higher prices, and then made the pricing for API access exorbitant.
Exactly; the impression I got was that they wanted third-party apps to be financially non-viable.
Ultimately, Reddit was trying to force traffic (and revenue) through ONLY their app
Absolutely. And by the time they killed off Apollo, I was already browsing Lemmy.
What if I tasked an LLM with replying to your comment? Say I instruct it to provide something with an agreeable tone and I pick one out of two or three drafts.
Is it still me?
I suppose that by that point it’s not much different than having a speech writer…
I think the key difference is that the words put out via printing press were still arranged the way they were by human hand.
The painting and the photograph are framed by human eyes.
The output of an “AI” seems different because it seems that there is less (of potentially no) human input. I say “seems” because that may or may not be true. If a human guides the AI with instructions, is that enough?
In my line of work, AI is coming. I see it as a friend in silico
Let’s explore this further. When we look at the work of a human we can often see their influences (and they can often acknowledge them or even cite specific works). In a way, they are able to credit those they were inspired by.
Would an “AI” be able to do the same? I’m guessing it probably can, but more as a statistical similarity to other works. I don’t know if it can cite its sources.
A discussion around the extent to which painters were replaced by photographers (and professional photographers replaced by laypersons with smartphone cameras) isn’t going to quite be the same as a discussion about human illustrators being potentially replaced by “AI”.
I suspect the words “soul” and “character” (and derivatives thereof) to turn up more.
Bean does have this feature, but with caveats. At the moment the smoothest way I’ve found to experience a multi-community is by grouping them in a list on Mastodon.
