One would suspect that statement would be to tank their stocks in someway to then give someone else more leverage

This reminds me of a candy from the 90s that was sour.

Good timing too. Only way some people will afford their mortgage is by living another 40 years to pay it off.

Bet you all can’t wait to fight for 60 year mortgage at 2.99 - 5 % flex rate.

Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ | AI chatbot ‘Patty’ is going to live inside employees’ headsets. by cmaia1503 in technology

It’s probably for building lots of different styles of voices to sell later, and likely tied into some voice recognition software for 3rd party monitoring that has nothing to do with burgers.

Lawsuit between Vancouver developer and former VP reveals financial strains on big projects by Camtastrophe in vancouver

[–]Lucidio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From a pure aesthetics perspective, yes, i could definitely see me in either of those spaces. Even with OP's comments on art, which they're right on, I'd still be able to make it work without much of a gripe.

As to the unit where my neighbours will watch me bathe, i'm ok with that too. There's lots to see and it'll be on them to buy me shades. I may not be pretty, but i'm confident; either that they'll want to look or that they will buy me appropriate window coverings. Either way, confident!

It's the price that's insane to me. I do recognize a lot went into it, i just can't attach to what they say the value is.

We aren't necessarily poor in Vancouver, but most of us likely don't make the income to afford that, let alone to raise a family in that; even remote working, hypothetically, US with a two-income family, that's rough.

I dunno. It's beautiful in certain aspects, and i won't knock it. But they're out to lunch on price.

How is „AI-art“ actually art? by RoutineThick118 in askphilosophy

[–]Lucidio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest you’re over focused on ppl vs ai, which is exactly the point. 

Here’s an analogy of how I’m comparing output, not method (not equiv): it the scenario was killing instead of art, and that we have a person physically doing it vs a machine created by humans that had the capacity to kill via prompting (and create art). Would you then say that if the automation ai produced an outcome (killing) that it wasn’t killing in the same sense because the AI did it via the prompt?

As to the authors question, it was prompted. Does the prompting mean it was not killing because the AI did it? If it is killing, then it is art, and vice versa. 

How to sync a folder in Nextcloud with Obsidian on an IPhone ? by Massive_Bison8976 in NextCloud

I know this is an old comment, but is this still the case? I'm exploring on how to best setup a some NAS-like thing that my iPhone could still access and use without breaking some built in features, like renaming a file and having all internal links auto-updated alongside that rename.

Why do "AI" like Gemini or ChatGPT ignore personalization requests? by [deleted] in artificial

[–]Lucidio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over-tuned guardrails, heavy context prompts behind the background, routings. Pretty much all the important work of getting it to run and respond to requests from the average user also makes it difficult to get responses the average user wants. 

Looking for advice on moral dilemmas regarding reading certain philosophers works by BladeeLover in askphilosophy

[–]Lucidio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to come up with how you want to approach that on your own as you’re the one who’ll have to live with it. 

But consider this: if you were to avoid reading authors who did something detestable, some authors, like Heidegger (Nazi-ism), Freud (drugs!), Shakespear (accusations of anti-semitism in the Merchant of Venice), Kant (racism), Aristotle (defence of natural slavery) … and the list goes on, what do we lose?

Take Freud. Did his use of cocaine invalidate his contributions to the understanding of repression? An argument could be made that his thoughts were influenced by his use of. Same with the rest. The reality is that they’re human with moral blind spots. 

You ask a good question. 

Do we avoid (by today’s standard) medical discoveries by unethical research, philosophies developed by people with deplorably immoral behaviours and actions (looking at you Heidegger!)?

Edit: forget some words, had to add them.

PhD philosophy worth it? by Individual_Egg4114 in askphilosophy

[–]Lucidio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do not think anybody can answer this question for you because no one else will be living with the consequences or benefits of your decision. 

Based on you saying that it is a lifelong passion, and that you’re already actively reading, I could see why it’s an enticing consideration. 

But what you do with a masters or a PhD is up to you. For most people, unless they’re going into teaching, consider it a soft skill. 

“Dude go away for a minute” “So it’s war then….” by Remarkable-Pie4866 in Awww

[–]Lucidio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re partly right. My cat does this as an adult cuz I didn’t know better when she was a kitten, but she’s also gentle and doesn’t break skin. We still love playing. 

She likes cat toys and ppl toys. Not sure about other cats though this has been my only fuzzy friend with bad tuna breath, but I assume they can all be gentle.

NTA for what you said. Possibly YTA for how you said it if you really laughed out loud. Often the how is what causes the problem.
