    Very honestly hope this stuff is all gated behind eu-only products/flags. The thing that EU regulators don't seem to get is that I (and many others) have knowingly and intentionall…

    That's just the problem -- you can't. Not because you can't distinguish between _one_ bad piece and _one_ good piece, but because there is so much production capacity that no human…

    Once again, the UK gov refuses to pay more than like 30k a year for engineers and then plays shocked Pikachu when things aren't done properly.

    I'm not sure if you disagree with me or not from this comment. Tech isn't the only thing that affects the relative strength of individuals vs corporations (regulation, social press…

    The thing that people consistently miss with these types of conversations is that any increase in the sophistication of the tech that exists to measure the world gives a relative b…

    Fwiw I don't think "serious generative art developers" are the target audience at this point, that's probably on the order of .01% of their users

    I think this is the relevant case law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co . Basically your voice is part of your likeness. "Impersonation of a voice, or similarl…

    Very probably, yes. I'd be shocked if more than 60% of Americans even have a 401k/pension, let alone one with any meaningful sum invested.

    Fwiw this is what I assume apple's long-term ai strategy is. Let the hype-funded unicorns fight to develop (& end up commodifying) the tech and then design/sell selling devices tha…

    This take just does not concord with reality. The rate at which innovation has happened since the first patent was issued in the 1400s is many orders of magnitude higher than the r…

    I think you're missing the point. I don't think we should have prevented the development of this tech. It's just absurd to complain about things that we always knew would happen as…

    This is literally the only thing that matters in this debate. Everything else is useless hand-wringing from people who don't want to be associated with the negative externalities o…

    It's very common. Kind of fascinating that you've never seen it.

    I think that apple is going to break into gaming in a big way in the next 5-10 years. A small target range of carefully-curated hardware is a HUGE advantage in game development. De…

    I mean, Apple's refusal to license their OS for non-Apple hardware is unambiguously the correct decision. From Apple's perspective there are countless downsides and zero upsides to…
