and you haven't had experience of living in the states.

This comment needs expansion. Tell us your experience of police brutality and corruption in the US.

Lmao. Just read the news my man.

I have to wonder if 10 years down the line, everyone will be able to run models like this on their own computers. Have to wonder what the knock-on effects of that will be, especially if the models improve drastically. With so much of our social lives being moved online, if we have the easy ability to create fake lives of fake people one has to wonder what's real and what isn't. Maybe the dead internet theory will rea…

Unpopular opinion: something will stop egalitarian power for the masses. I had high hopes for multicore computing in the late 90s and early 2000s but it got blocked every step of the way by everyone doubling down on DSP (glorified vertex buffer) approaches on video cards, leaving us with the contrived dichotomy we see today between CPU and GPU.

Whatever we think will happen will not happen. A less-inspired known-good state will take its place, creating another status quo. Which will funnel us into dystopian futures. I'm just going off my own observations and life experience of the last 20 years, and the way that people in leadership positions keep letting the rest of us down after they make it.

>I reject the false equivalence of the DHS and FSB. Not gonna both-sides this, sorry. lmao mkay. Not identical, but very similar. It's not even 'Alex Jones'-tier to say this. I think you forget you are if you are under US or (even NATO). YOU WILL hear propaganda from your side, as the Russians do. It's NORMAL. We live under control of a hegemon with self-interests. May I have to remind you of these? And tell me the d…

Yeah, you could go on, but you get paid per post, not per word.

Those suggestions appear in Google chat too and even if you don't click on them, the simple fact of reading the suggestion makes you much more likely to type it yourself. There's clearly a priming effect to it.

depends on your personality

On average, it doesn't. This is why advertising and magic work.

> I could watch a movie made for me We're a long, long way from this. Stringing words/images together into a coherent sequence is arguably the easy bit of creating novels/films, and computers still lag a long way behind humans in this regard. Structuring a narrative is a harder, subtler step. Our most advanced ML solutions are improving rapidly, but often struggle with coherence over a single paragraph; they're not g…

For many movies, sure. I'm pretty sure the Marvel franchise is shat out by an algorithm.

You jest, but it really is the case. When your movie has a goddamn board of directors, you can be 100% sure it will be A/B tested until it transmutes the surrounding air into gold.

Literally what google doing in favor of USA.

You're going to get downvoted, but Eric Schmidt worked regularly with the state department, and google employees were involved in spurring the color revolutions. Julian Assange detailed this in a newsweek article before his name and body were smeared into the ground: https://www.newsweek.com/assange-google-not-what-it-seems-27... Oh, but they say he's not trustworthy, or that it's a conspiracy theory that he was inte…

I think you ran out of tinfoil this one is so large.

How much responsibility does Google share for US wrecking Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria?

Google doesn't censor antiwar propaganda.

Blatantly incorrect. Google engages in egregious political censorship all the time. Including censorship for Russian government and censorship of US anti-war voices.

In US they pretend to "decide" to censor things "on their own" because 1st amendment prevents the government from officially demanding censorship.

There's no laws in US which punish for spreading antiwar propaganda which Google needs to comply with.

There's no law that says Yandex must operate in Russia.

Yandex has offices in 8 countries. I wonder if they censor news everywhere or only in Russia.
