Also then the clickable area would be bigger reducing errors. I tried a keyboard that did this once. Was a rough transition, but I managed. Unfortunately I ended up going back since it was lacking some other features.

I agree, but am happy that X is losing users to Bluesky, so I don’t try to convert friends and family from Bluesky to Masrodon. I’d rather they start changing other stuff instead that is easier.

I was at some point wanting to visit the US as a tourist, see the grand canyon etc. The last part of me that wanted to go there has changed the last couple of months.

But even before Trump won, I imagined a couple of horrendous scenarios that could happen based on things I read online. This confirms my worst fears. This does not sound like a safe country to visit. Even as a white cishet man.

I have followed your daily gaming posts since you began. Appreciate the content!

Not an easy thing to change about oneself. Good job and thanks for sharing 👏

Facebook makes a certain amount of money per person. It’s probably not that high.

If they can easily gather and find simple quick replacements for US goods that probably affects the US economy more.

I don’t use Facebook for this myself, but have made lots of changes effectively now moving large sums of money from US companies to EU equivalents. There are still some stuff left, but most things are changed.

I think that has a bigger effect and is a lot easier

It was low res. Thanks for the link. It was high res there 😊

I deleted Netflix yesterday. Was a bit more challenging than the other ones. We have sort of always had Netflix here in Norway.

Now we subscribe to a Norwegian service that includes Britbox instead. It has some US shows as well, but mainly European

It can generate combinations of things that it is not trained on, so not necessarily a victim. But of course there might be something in there, I won’t deny that.

However the act of generating something does not create a new victim unless there is someones likeness and it is shared? Or is there something ethical here, that I am missing?

(Yes, all current AI is basically collective piracy of everyones IP, but besides that)

I think it is wrong, but this is inevitable.

The next time they hire actors they will just require them to train the AI as well. Voice actors will in a huge part die out. There will be some, but far less. Even A-list celebrities will in the future have to give the companies their likeness and their voice. So that companies can provide dubbing for other languages, make toys etc.

Not the A-list celebrities we have now necessarily, but the coming generations. I can’t see a situation in which everyone have a united front and won’t take the money

Edit: I realized this is a bit defeatist. A solution would be unions, I should have mentioned that

First off, I am sex positive, pro porn, pro sex work, and don’t believe sex work should be shameful, and that there is nothing wrong about buying intimacy from a willing seller.

That said. The current state of the industry and the conditions for many professionals raises serious ethical issues. Coercion being the biggest issue.

I am torn about AI porn. On one hand it can produce porn without suffering, on the other hand it might be trained on other peoples work and take peoples jobs.

I think another major point to consider going forward is if it is problematic if people can generate all sorts of illegal stuff. If it is AI generated it is a victimless crime, so should it be illegal? I personally feel uncomfortable with the thought of several things being legal, but I can’t logically argue for it being illegal without a victim.

I think the reason is that every time they post something, someone there points out the Andy Yen thing. Thats basically the only comments. So its detrimental to their business.

This was a nazi salute, or at least a reference to it, you can obviously see it. However, and this is where it becomes slightly problematic…

Is it enough of a nazi salute to not work in their favor? We can easily compare Elons salute with a nazi one, just show it side by side with an actual one. But this one is obviously (you can see it on his face) meant to reference it, but it is not as explicit. The problem is that when it is called out, it is just another case of “the woke left screaming that everyone that disagrees with them is a nazi”.

I have no idea how we should handle shit like this.

And another point, as a man a lot younger than say Salma Hayek. I’d happily be her young handsome piece of action. I would also get to be with an extremely attractive woman.

The same goes for these women and Leonardo Di Caprio. He is objectively an attractive man. It’s also bragging rights. I was in a relarionship with x-celeb. Of course many women dream of being with him, and of course a lot of them are gorgeous.

I think they are both having a great time, and see no reason to judge.

I fully agree let’s care about the things that actually matter and actually hurt people.

Contacts gives you full field of vision, and they don’t get dirty. If you are lucky you only have to take them off and on for switching once per month and can sleep with them. I am one of those, and can buy the cheapest contacts too.

In other words, always good vision, with full FOV

Thank you for a thorough explanation, really interesting

I have tested Deepseek and have found it to be pretty open about censorship in at least many topics. I asked it some questions about China and it mentioned issues with Xinjiang, Uyghurs, and Taiwan. I did not bring it up, or try to trick it into talking about it. It was mentioned as some future challenges China will face.

It did not share explicitly what those issues were, but that those are sensitive issues.

In other words it does acknowledge that there is censorship, I doubt that it is fully open about all the censorship, and potential bias if it has any baked in.

I did not experience any obvious bias or censorship.

I guess questions regarding Tiananmen square would be censored though, but how not asked.

I am not sure I entirely understand what you are saying here. Can you rephrase it, please?

I know we should not objectify people, and I rarely do.

That said… As a heterosexual man I got to say that this is one of the first times I have truly seen how handsome Elvis was. God damn.

More stock diversification is the answer, not manual filtrering or a tilt towards “stable” stocks. If that does not provide a risk that is tolerable for an investor, then a lower stock allocation is the next step.

For a long time people have trusted their money in the 500 biggest US companies, but ignoring the world and ignoring smaller companies. This does not really make that much sense, but actually makes more sense if you are not an American.

Americans work in the US economy, and often invest in the US economy. Doing so makes you take on additional risk. An allocation towards the entire global stock market gives roughly 50% exposure to US stocks already.

If the US stock market takes a huge dive, then the value of your assets drop, and at the same time you have an increased risk of losing your job.
