As soon as there’s a decent standalone VR headset not owned my an invasive social media company, I’ll be on board.

It’s not an android post without someone trying to make it about Apple instead.

Keep going with the Trails series by order of release. The story gets pretty crazy. The crossbell arc that just released on switch is pretty good.

Maybe take a look at Tales of Arise as well. It might be a mixed bag for you, but I found myself easily engrossed by it.

Hey as long as that’s the narrative Google believes…

It wasn’t until only several years ago that I learned about Tove Jansson’s Moomin stories. Since then, they’ve become some of my favorite little characters. You can find full episodes of the old anime on YouTube and snuffkin is easily my favorite of the bunch. I want his hat for myself.

Source?

I’m just using Safari with the Vinegar extension.

Someday we’ll all be dead and robot dogs will be giving tours to nothing. Some alien species will come across our planet and learn all about us through the ways in which the robots interact with nobody.

Most important comment right here.

Well go enjoy that 12 year old Samsung TV, then, Mr Samsung user! Nobody said you shouldn’t.

Worked with some teachers in a school. Occasionally we’d forget something dumb at our desk like our attendance notebook or a stack of handouts for the students. In most cases there was usually someone from our group sitting around at our office space, doing a bit of prep work. We all used iPads in our lessons, so one day I used a combination of Siri Shortcuts with IFTTT, a smart plug and a cheap little lamp to create a quick little alert system that would inform a peer at the desk if something was left behind. The light would click on, and when someone noticed, they’d check the group chat to see who sent it and what was needed.

I’m thankful I have the option to change it.

I’d like to see a data collection comparison between the two as well.

Whoosh

My wife, a graphic designer, just showed me a new feature added to Photoshop that basically allows AI to take a close up portrait and turn it into a full sized photo by generating ideal content around the subject using a few simple prompts. It’s really impressive. All she has to do is touch it up to make sure it’s believable and appealing. I don’t really care, since most advertisement photography is fake anyway, but I worry how propagandists are going to exploit the hell out of AI.

Do modern TVs even come in non-smart variants anymore?

Rest in peace. Thank you for all that you gave us, Shawna.

I can’t help but wonder how much facebook’s stigma might be stifling enthusiasm toward the Quest.

I watched a bit of the presentation. The Quest 3 was like 5m at the beginning then the rest played out like an AI infused dystopian nightmare. Facebook is building AI “personalities” with real faces and predetermined personalities for people to go to for advice. They’re giving people tools to train their own AI characters for whatever purpose they want. Furthermore, they’re encouraging businesses to use custom versions of these AI characters for use as a customer service front-end on the internet.

After that, they showed off ray-ban glasses with cameras hidden in the frames and AI built into them.

It’s never about creating a better society, just oppression and exploitation. The more criminals you easily fabricate, the more indentured servants you easily get.
