    Just letting you know, I think there might be something wrong with the code. First time I ran it, just off the basic link, it eventually finished with a time of 36:42 (ran at 15:16…

    Not unless you wanna punch a nail in with your fist. "AI" only does things we can do, because to do otherwise would be evidence against the general, human level intelligence that t…

    If a tool like this is currently only suitable for specific and minor cases under human oversight, how does it prove any better than a human? Wouldn't one of the only novel and use…

    It is so irresponsible to call this a "glitch". This isn't something going wrong at any point, this is just technology that is not sufficient for what it is being asked to do, and …

    Would be good to have a little dot next to a room if it has an unread message. Or a signpost telling you at which point unread messages begin. Basically just track read / unread me…

    Seems like they just put the comments with the most likes at the top... stands to reason that more likes = nicer comment.

    I can't disagree with you there. It's a shame I can't. The future is a scary place to be.

    But why must the deception take place? Evolution is natural, The development of AI generated videos takes teams of people, years of effort and millions of pounds. Why should those …

    That's exactly what I mean, all of those methods take some human effort, there is a human involved in the process. Now we face a reality that it might take no human effort to do...…

    I hope they're right. If the technology improves to such a degree that meaningful content can be produced then it could spell global disaster for a number of reasons. Also I just d…

    Hmm... alright, thank you. I'll stick with what I've got for now. You're right though, it seems like Mozilla is looking for a way to monetise their platform, at the expense of user…

    Oh damn that sucks, still nothing affecting user experience... yet. Reminds me of a nightly build I saw where they tested forcibly putting fakespot products on the frontpage. [ htt…

    Sorry, could you be a bit more specific? As a user, not a developer, I'm curious if there's any flaws in the source code (potential security vulnerabilities, inefficient code that …

    Well, the Matrix movie showed a perfect depiction of the world stuck in 1999, with people given freedom to do as they wish (or what they thought was freedom). So... I guess more th…

    Just curious, what is wrong with the Firefox source code specifically? I've used it for a couple years and haven't noticed anything awful, but if there's something I'm not aware of…

    My dad has an app that can identify tree species from a photo of the leaf. I can't remember what it was called but it was definitely better than any social media haha.

    When you think of "The Matrix" - An infinitely generated and extremely complex world, I don't think most people would picture this, and especially not in a car like that. The car c…

    My favourite painting of all time "The Escorial from a foot-hill of the Guadarrama mountains" by Lucas van Uden [ https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/image/media-4256550851 ] is q…

    I definitely agree with you - it reminds me of an inverted bell curve, or the YouTube series "The Search For The Worst" - It is far better from a viewer's perspective to wholeheart…
