A lot of stupid things are “fun” to a huge number of people. Loud cars, street fights, guns… Normal people grow out of it. Just because some adult children still think it’s “fun” doesn’t mean we have to tolerate and allow it.

Really? I have it running right now with 0% CPU usage and around 100MB of memory. Something’s wrong with your setup.

I think the entire idea of going down from the trees was also a bad idea.

I guess it depends on your use case. I know people with pets love them because sweeping hair is a lot of work. Probably the same with kids. For us with no pets or kids there’s really not that much sweeping.

I was thinking about getting one but I learned that they do require a lot of maintenance like cleaning the brushes and you have to change parts regularly. That sounds like more work they just sweeping from time to time. Also, broom has a lower carbon footprint.

it’s only allowed to communicate when actually in use.

What’s the point? The manufacturer is interested in the map of your apartment and usage statistics. What do you think it’s sending when not in use? Does it have a microphone or something?

The spaniel one is so much better

It’s still a 13 year old phone. Is this really usable today? Also, Maemo was awesome but today, without android emulation a phone will be just a toy, not a daily driver. I think Titan is closer to something usable but I think it’s not easy to run custom ROMs on it.

I had N900 like 12 years ago. My favorite phone ever but even 12 years ago the connection speeds were terrible. I still don’t understand why we don’t have modern PDAs like Zaurus or phones like N900. All the kickstarter projects are crazy expensive and limited in functionality. Just give me modern N900 god dammit!

Not for the kid.

HHGTTG?

Just watching it now for the first time.

You sound like you know what you’re talking about. I would love to try the programming language you created. Can you share it?

The issue we’re talking about is not getting a reply from bot in a chat or phone call. We’re talking about people with metal issues using AI in a way that exasperates their problems. Specifically we’re talking about people believing AI is their personal companion and creating personal connection with it to a point that wrong answers generated by AI affect their well being. Vast majority of people don’t use AI like that.

It will let people create new wallpapers.

Definitely not everyone. We’re talking about users that have a single chat open and have endless conversations about personal topics there. I think majority of users will ask single question or have a short conversation and then create new chat. And don’t talk about personal problems. We’re also talking about people with specific metal issues. AI is a terrible for many reasons but I think “it helps people kill themselves” is exaggerated. Before AI people were getting sucked into online communities that were encouraging suicide but the media barely noticed the issue. Marijuana is very dangerous for people with predisposition to some mental issues like schizophrenia but we just agree that people should have that in mind if they are going to use it. It’s the same with AI. Some people shouldn’t be using it but it’s not a reason for a total ban. The reason for a total ban is that it’s bad for environment, jobs and education and offers little benefits.

I think with all the guardrails current models have you have to talk to it for weeks if not months before it degrades to a point that it will let you talk about anything remotely harmful. Then again, that’s exactly what a lot of people do.

Thank you.
