How about two drinks, plus a free drink from the airline you’re flying per half hour delayed? Seems more reasonable.

Yeah, though a nice thing for those who need it my immediate worry was “well, this may mean companies lean further into tipping because yay tax free” rather than working towards just paying workers.

Humtum.

Just spotted you mention it on bsky! I’ve queued it up, and will be jumping on a train to London later so will have a moment hopefully!

Thank you for mentioning it here!

1. I think you’re on the wrong community for this question.

2. The thing regularly referred to as “AI” of late is more accurately referred to as generative AI, or large language models. There’s no capacity for learning from humans, it’s pattern matching based on large sets of data that are boiled down to a series of vectors to give a most-likely next word for a response to a prompt. You could argue that that’s what people do, but that’s a massive over simplification. You’re right to say it does not have the ability to form thoughts and views. That said, like a broken clock, an LLM can put out words that match up with existing views pretty darn easily!

You may be talking about general AI, which is something we’ve not seen yet and have no timeframe for existing. That may be able to have beliefs… But again, there’s not even a suggestion of that being close to happening. LLMs are (in my opinion) not even a good indicator or precursor to that coming soon.

TL;DR: An LLM (or generative AI) can’t have or form beliefs.

Out of interest, have you seen hbomberguy’s recent video on plagiarism in YouTube and the section on AVGN?

I got a first generation badgy, and it had an issue that prevented it working with the battery.

Sqfmi said they’d sent out a replacement part to fix it, but never got back to me.

I love the ideas they have, but I don’t trust them.

I know the Corsair 800D used to have these. This looks different, but might be in the same line.

Another vote for Binging with Babish - though my interest waned when he started going from “hey, I could try making that!” to episodes requiring ever more complex and expensive niche machines (e.g. dehydrators), I completely lost interest around the time he started doing the “going round buying folk things” series. Never really got back into it, unsubscribed after a while.

Bon Appetit was great, then everything happened, many folk changed (for good reason) and it just lost the appeal for me. I’ve watched some of the spun off channels, but some of the appeal for me was the interactions.

I used to religiously watch everything Shut Up and Sit Down put out, but found myself watching less and less over the last few years - turns out, they changed primary content creators and editor (if I understand correctly) around that time, and announced that they did so recently. Still watch occasionally, but it’s a very subtly different style that hits less reliably for me. May also be related to me managing to play fewer boardgames, lately.

Really enjoyed the format, looking forward to the extension of this in the next video!

Really appreciated the deeper dive and calm narrative along with the evolving code and demonstration. I feel like so many videos go into what without touching enough on why, so that was really good.

That seems an awesome concept! I’ll queue the video up!

Apologies, I thought I’d seen 60 seconds but since looking I’ve found a bunch of guesses from “every few” to numbers with nothing that looks like a source in headlines.

Going to the source, I found:

are taken every five seconds while content on the screen is different from the previous snapshot.

Should have searched first, sorry!

I suspect you’d have a hard time training anyone to use software based on (say) a screenshot every sixty seconds. May be wrong.

Had to look it up, but “most probably” built between AD 1000–1050. Love that it’s old enough that we’re not entirely sure…

Came here to say this. It hugely weakened any investment in characters and story, for me.

I would not recommend playing legion for the story. Or, arguably, at all - but particularly not for the story.

Picard Musicbrainz is pretty awesome for recognising and then moving-to-the-right-place. I think it can also be automated, but I haven’t got to that level of trust yet

I’ll be honest, I’ve not watched the video - but the thumbnail alone is either clickbait or misrepresenting the game.

I’m not quite the target for this, but I’d value the ability to take age-ID (which for me is always my driving license) on my phone in some way.

I’ll also say that I think you can get to Samsung wallet without unlocking your phone, though you need to authenticate to trigger payment, so it’s possibly a way of not handing your unlocked device out.

I’m always weirded out by folk handing over cards to be taken to machines in other areas, too.

Edit: Huh, seems like there may already be a solution for me, [here] (https://www.postoffice.co.uk/identity/easyid).

Congrats! That’s awesome

The Last Day of June is quite lovely.

For what it’s worth, I think the £30 was a theoretical amount for the “everything video” service.

But yeah, as a mashup enthusiast I’m resigned to the idea that it’s never going to be well represented on streaming as a genre due to the concerns around licensing.

PlexAmp and Plex (and a few other things, I guess) are my solution, but it still means that link sharing with friends is an awkward mess.
