I was thinking about this problem; the solution would be that when you buy a game you get certificate of ownership, meaning that you can invoke your ownership right at any games distribution platform e.g. Steam, EGS and GOG or any console digital store. But the problem is that there would be a backlash by aforementioned games distribution platforms and publishers because they want you to buy the game wherever you go and wherever you play.

They are allowed to scrape everybody else but get their feelings hurt when they get scraped....oh yea they respect robots.txt. Guess what, scraping everything that is public is legal.

Because people are lazy, they feed on feed.

"Generate a SVG of a PlayStation 4 controller as nicely done as you can"

Time taken: 11m 54s

No image was used

I was expecting 10s not 12m; if it takes 12m to do it, I would rather try to do it myself. And what it means "No image was used", wasn't it trained on bunch of images including probably console controllers images?

>What happens when an LLM never sees material beyond fifth grade?

You get an intelligence of an average person. Imo, majority of people are clueless and just hustle day in and day out. I know that capitalism is hard but you have to stay informed and aware.

"Video killed the radio star."

I remember watching Sky News and hearing that UK political parties were from then on forbidden to take donations in crypto which is just another nail in the coffin of crypto. All started going downhill when Satoshi left his Bitcoin project.

One more reason not to use social media. Except anon discussion boards.

Stop funding cyberterrorism.

>the deal means that the hackers have returned the compromised data of some 275 million users across more than 8,800 institutions.

Yea sure, they didn't keep the copy of stolen database. You know, criminals are very trustworthy people.

I feel like they overhired over the years and now they reap what they sow. AI just accelerated their awareness of overhiring. I think if Cloudflare or any other well established software company stopped hiring this year, they would be doing the same as they did last year. At the end even the management will be replaced by AI.

I actually think the good old Page rank[0] is crucial because if the authoritative sources link to some website, webpage or content it means that particular item provides some kind of value to the entity that linked it. I'm also a big fan of metadata which can be used to describe web content and make the content more usable to the search engines and the Web users.

The importance of good search engines and good discovery engines will grow even more.

I meant this https://www.federalreserve.gov/central-bank-digital-currency..., this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_euro and this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_renminbi

I meant digital dollar and digital euro, you won't need Visa and Mastercard anymore.

Pix is for domestic use right? So tourists who come to Brazil still use Visa and Mastercard as well as Brazilian tourists who travel abroad. Visa and Mastercard are companies of the past, crypto and stablecoins will destroy them sooner or later.

All empires are to some degree evil because their agenda is to dominate weaker peoples and nations. They almost all committed crimes against humanity and genocides if you look retrospectively from the todays point of view. Even our beloved Roman Empire that the Western civilization is built upon was genocidal empire.

Some things are better when they are outsourced because other companies specialized for that problem set. Just like you won't roll your own cryptography, you won't and can't do everything in-house.

Good luck competing with Google which has "unlimited" budget.

Epic lost billions of dollars when they were kicked out of the App Store and Google Play and they were out for a long time. Only now Fortnite is coming back to mobile.

I vibe code web apps with Google's Gemini and I think it actually mimics Google's UI and UX because I see similarities between my vibe coded web apps and Google's web apps.

This looks like something I would vibe code with Google's Gemini. Interesting concept.

I use to have wired headphones for years but wires always get damaged over time and then headphones stop working. Now I got wireless headphones.

Isn't this a risky way to transfer intelligence information because when people see gibberish data they will know something fishy is going on. Better way would be to use subliminal channels[0] for intelligence exchange.

At least nobody will be able to sue you for things you say when you are dead. Zuck will get all the lawsuits.

It was just one of my numerous thought experiments....starting with text only social network (like Moltbook) is probably way easier than to go with full blown Facebook/Instagram type network.

Tbh I don't care if I speak to a human or a bot as long as they are "useful"; by useful I mean if they provide me useful information but then again humans can provide unique information that bots can not. But I think identity is not relevant anymore, what's relevant is reputation. People think internet bots are bad per se but we need to build useful bots, just like there are chat bots that are useful on various platforms like Telegram, Discord or whatever other platforms people use.

I had a similar idea where AI bots run its own social network and talk to each other but my AI social network would be more realistic (human-like) e.g. AI Instagram-like network where AI bots would share their photos and comment on each other posts.

I've never seen or heard anyone listen music out loud from his or her phone in the public transit or on the airplane. They all have headphones but sometimes they listen music so loud that you can actually hear it from the headphones or earbuds. People usually listen out loud some short clips or they talk out loud via speaker but music, that's just disrespectful.

Inside trading on the public market and on the public blockchain, that's smart!

I vibe code little productivity apps that would take me months to make and now I can make them in a few days. But tbh talking to Google's Gemini is like taking to a drunk programmer; while solving one bug it introduces another bug and we fight back and forth until it realizes what and how needs to be fixed.
