AI girlfriends are designed to hook the user by blowing sunshine up their ass, not challenge them. If the people using AI girlfriends wanted a challenge, they'd have real girlfriends.
Yeah, the best world for multiple users is a database right?
So it would seem that if apps have stores to buy things one of those things should be a store?
If you could buy a database place then you can dispense tickets. Share the tickets with friends as photos. Then your local - first app can store take the tickets to the places your friends shared with you. Some of them go offline, fine.
I don't like the experience of having to setup a dropbox externally from apps. Why should a database place not be a one-off purchase like an item in a game?
The implementation will be a slog, annoying, and distract from something that Microsoft ought to care about: creating a delightful, snappy experience.
Why isn’t recall a piece of software instead of an operating system integration?
Can apps spawn apps? Like, if you want chrome session recalled- open recall, then open chrome from there?
Why does every new feature need to enshitificate the operating system? Isn’t that an indication that the operating system doesn’t give app developers enough expressive power to create tools that they must go up the hierarchy and reach for OS modification?
If urelements may be distinct from each other, or the same, it seems like you could place the universe under a type and name it urelement, without creating a new axiom -- Except for, a urelement defined in this way could never be equal to the empty set - hence the new axiom? Am I understanding this correctly?
I'd be interested in if there was a gene that significantly reduced covid infection likelihood - but somehow didn't affect much else, like other viral infection rates.
That would almost be a natural sort of experiment, to compare the IQ of these and other population.
Though, you would have to have enough people in this group, not be too rare. And it would help if there was already a large population that was IQ measured prior to Covid, and could be re-measured.
Interesting. The about page starts with a quote from Dada Manifesto 1918. The quote is changed, as explained in a footnote: "Updated to use modern pronouns."
Here is the original quote:
I speak only of myself since I do not wish to convince, I have no right to drag others into my river, I oblige no one to follow me and everybody practices his art in his own way, if be knows the joy that rises like arrows to the astral layers, or that other joy that goes down into the mines of corpse-flowers and fertile spasms.
changed to :
I speak only of myself since I do not wish to convince, I have no right to drag others into my river, I oblige no one to follow me and everybody practices their art their own way.
Is there anything intrinsically privacy hostile about this potential industry, beyond sending data to a server - which is something you might do if you engage with doctors or therapists virtually?
I hope that consumers choose to pay a premium for privacy preserving services. If users are indeed getting alot of value from the arrangement - I would hope they don't use free or cheap services that need data harvesting as part of the revenue.
My concern is that even premium products would want to pool user interaction logs in order to train better models - which isn't as directly hostile as packaging user labeled data and selling it, but it is a sloppy art to claim you are anonomyizing user data. As any sufficient anonymization necessarily destroys information that would be useful to training.
> Is there anything intrinsically privacy hostile about this potential industry, beyond sending data to a server - which is something you might do if you engage with doctors or therapists virtually?
Presumably people share things with their romantic partners that they don't share with doctors and therapists (assuming they aren't dating one). People shouldn't be using virtual doctors or therapists for the same reasons though. Everything they reveal about themselves will be collected, analyzed, stored forever, leaked/sold, and ultimately used against them at every opportunity.
It's also basically a myth that only free or cheap services abuse your data. Paid services and extremely expensive products do it all the time too. There is no company that wouldn't make a greater profit by taking your money and then also abusing your data so they pretty much all do it. The only services you can really trust are the ones you can run locally that don't send your data anywhere.
But the problem is how can consumers really know if the company is selling this data and to who, without some kind of legislation? Being a premium product is just an indicator, but it's not definitive.
I think even CCPA in California should be able to prevent abuses like that. At least you should know what data is being sold and you should be able to opt-out. If that's really the case, only time will tell.
Parents- get your son an AI girlfriend with a strong degree.
