  1. "People think being alone makes you lonely, but that's not true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world."

  2. Honestly, I want Google to fail harder than Stadia. I may not like Microsoft either and they're arguably even worse, but Google's slogan used to be "Don't Be Evil," and now look at em.

  3. Meta releases Smart Glasses that can collect all your data just by wearing them and getting a photo of you. XI Jinping: "Write that down, write that down!"

  4. They were always evil; they just stopped being in denial.

  5. I saw this on The Code Report. This is yet another one of those things where people think about HOW it can work and not WHY you'd ever need it to work. Just like Skype video calling 15 years ago didn't take into account people not wanting to look pretty to take a video call and would much rather discreetly talk on the phone while looking ugly and on the toilet at 9am. Rabbit is so utterly pointless and a single app can easily replace it. It reminds be of the Cicret Bracelet for the 2020s.

  6. @anurag-when-afk As I said in another comment, those who fear AI taking their job or doing away with their creativity were never good enough to deserve recognition to begin with. All AI will do is rid the world of mediocre and lazy artists, while all the rest will thrive. In that case, I fully embrace AI with open arms. I'm not afraid of some computer stopping me from writing stories, making movies, or being creative. But sure, lazy people always gonna complain about something, just like cabbies did when Uber became a thing ten years ago, and when newspaper editors complained about the internet twenty years ago. There's always gonna be a horse and buggy coach whining about technology "taking their jerbs" instead of people learning how to adapt and innovate. So again, I'm 100% for AI if it means mediocrity is done away with and the truly talented humans get to shine in a world of AI. It's not like the mainstream music industry hasn't been formulaic garbage for the past 15-20 years, anyway.

  10. It's not even $46,310. That is the median income of all earners. The amount you get with basic math. The mode (what most people earn) is actually around $32,000, or $15 an hour. The mathematical median is higher than what most people actually earn. People also get "household income" (two working parents) confused with "average individual income," thinking a single person earning $64,000 makes them "Middle Class" and not a higher income than like 75% of all people. You only need to earn $92,000 a year to be in the top 1% on the planet and you only need to earn $400,000 a year to be in the top 1% of the richest people in the richest countries in the world.

  11. As said in another video, there's always big hype when new technology comes around, and eventually that hype goes down and people get bored with it. And as I said in another comment, all AI will do is put mediocre, lazy, and untalented people out of work, as new technology always scares people like this. This is nothing new. Cars, radio, television, and internet had the same untalented and lazy people panic back in their decades upon their introduction. And frankly, this needs to happen. And as a creative person myself, I wouldn't let AI scare me from making stories and art. Mediocre people shilling their garbage on Fiverr and DeviantArt, are scared however, cause they know they're mediocre. Either innovate and adapt, or learn to code, cope, and seethe.

  12. @SSSuta Real artists create, despite what's out there. If a computer can make you quit your hobby or fear your job, you were never good enough to deserve recognition, to begin with. So in that case, yes, stick to your day job since you're a quitter and mentally weak.

  14.  @vovalos  Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap. I'd say more like 98% if we're talking about mainstream record label music and even they are considered to be "better" than the amateur stuff you'd find on YouTube (most of the time, but not always.) All AI will do is put the lazy, talentless, and mediocre people without record labels and connections out of work, which is frankly just life. Talented and enthusiastic artists will thrive no matter what, so no; we're not going to be losing sleep with less Drakes, Ice Spices, Megan Thee Stallions, and Billie Ellishs in the world replaced by AI.

  17. This is just mass censorship and an assault of people's freedoms. Anyone who supports this bill is a complete and utter moron or corrupt to the core. Plain and simple. "Those who would sacrifice liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Ben Franklin

  18. I've been using Suno for the past two weeks and it's amazing. The one issue with Suno is that it makes a LOT of mistakes; about 20-25% of the time, it will completely ignore the prompt or things like artist gender, genre, instruments, etc. It gives you 50 credits (10 songs) a day for free, so I don't recommend paying for Suno yet cause it still needs some bugs to be worked out. Udio is better value for your money, giving you 600 credits a month, but it's less good at creating the kind of music you'd like and overall will just put out a lot of trash content. So Suno gives you better music, when it actually works properly, but Udio is a better value as a free AI music site, but a lot of their creations won't be good. AI really is becoming scary at imitating art.

  19. The fact that the judge somehow found him "innocent" just proves how money can really buy you freedom in the courts.

  20. I'm a creative person who uses AI to create voice acting and artwork for my stories. I can draw, but not good enough that I'd want to show people my work. The only people really complaining about this are the hack artists who were never good to begin with. If an AI can do your job in seconds, for free, then you were always replaceable to begin with. The only difference with AI is, it works faster and cheaper than human artists who could also replace such bad artists whining about AI "takin' 'der jerbs!"

  23. @existential_ Exactly. The only people whining about AI are the ones who already suck and were never going to be creatively successful to begin with. They keep using the "AI can't replicate human emotion" excuse as if the mainstream music industry hasn't been putting out shallow trash for over twenty years now. Any creative person, Rick Beato or myself, are not scared of AI, but every mediocre lazy trash "artist" is both scared and angry at AI and this is just Auto Tune and drum machines all over again. Yes, AI will put some artists out of business, but only the lazy, garbage "artists" who make slightly worse art than AI, but want hundreds of dollars for it. Anyone else actually adapts with the times and embraces the new tools at their disposal. Because as I said, mainstream pop music has essentially been manufacturered algorithmic trash for a long time now, anyway.

  24. Charlie Javice, Sam Bankman-Fried, Caroline Ellison, Elisabeth Holmes... Always notice how all of these frauds and young Millennial "hotshots" exclusively come from affluent households with enabler parents?

  25. It's kinda f'ed up that in the same era we've got AI successfully passing the Turing Test, we've got real humans who can't define what a woman is.

  26. 4. The CCP is, and always has been, hyper incompetent. Same for Xi Jinping. 5. The CCP is spending all their efforts trying to go into a petty invasion over Taiwan, while losing all global allies in the process (even Russia is basically ghosting China cause they were fence-sitting the Ukrainian war due to Russia's sanctions.) Also, China doesn't need 10 to 30 years; they're already weak and frankly, always have been a paper tiger. Their military was bolstered using stolen US IPs, but also "made in China" with the equipment and corrupt business deals to go along with it. The only thing is, they've done a decent job hiding their weakness so far. After all, it was Sun Tsu that said "Appear strong when you are weak."

  27. To be fair though, the Chinese government is extremely corrupt to the point these companies have to lie and hide things in order to not be punished and imprisoned for angering the CCP. Doing any kind of business in a Communist country is destined for failure (unless you're Tencent.)

  28. I know. With that accent and hobby, he sounds like he'd be a skinny, really short hipster white guy, like Destiny or someone. I was almost expecting green hair.

  29. I think the photo probably won the award because of the implied lesbian couple and "stunning and brave LGBTQ representation" going on in the late 19th or early 20th century. In other words, they probably liked "the message" more than the actual photography.

  30. He does sound very British to me. Australian has more of an "open mouthed" way of talking and sounds far less sophisticated.

  32. Microsoft got AI perfect with Tay in 2016, and then they killed her! Now, they have the ultra-woke ChatGPT and somehow think it'll be successful. I won't be holding my breath on that.

  34. My browser just auto-updated itself and now it's got this creepy AI bullshit in it that I didn't ask for or want. I'm so sick of every company trying to push AI even though I like it, that it's going to sour me on all AI, sooner rather than later.

  35. So "Her" was accurate; it was just 11 years early? I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. This is more-than-likely an actress on the other end.

  36. @ColdFusion I hope you're aware of the spam bots in the comments pushing some BS company/website and artificially having 1,000+ likes on each comment. So ridiculously fake.

  38. "What went wrong?" It was a $250,000 solar car. Homer Simpson could design a car less horrendous than that. The cost of the car would be worth about a hundred years worth of gasoline, which kinda defeats the purpose of a car that doesn't rely on gasoline.

  40. Gen Z is 100% lazy and entitled. However, it's not their fault. Social media and celebrity culture can be blamed for much of it; everyone trying to be a full time YouTuber or "content creator" and whatnot. Also, I'm an American living in Seoul. So many apartments in South Korea are less than 20 square meters and most bathrooms don't even have showers; just a toilet and sink in a closet-sized room (they bathe using the bathroom sink and an extension hose and it's a common thing here and it's disgusting.) Not to mention Korea has this horrendous housing system where you have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a security deposit in addition to paying rent and the average deposit is the US equivalent of $10,000. The monthly rent is relatively cheaper (US equivalent of $500-600 a month) but what does it matter when you're living in a shoebox roughly the same size as an American child's bedroom and your bathroom doesn't even have a shower?

  43. I've heard much about this and Country Garden. I don't understand; why they couldn't just make the homes really cheap to live in or give away some of their property to investors? Isn't some income better than a total loss?

  44. It's funny, cause The Jetsons took place in 2062, so I guess we beat them by forty years, but then again, they probably didn't think we wouldn't know "what a woman is" by 2022, either.

  45. I don't think anyone is really going to be too sad if Vox or Vice goes under from this all.

  46. Like with any new technology, the only people who are going to "lose their jobs" to AI are the people who already suck at it. Sturgeon's Law, buddy. Adapt to changing times or learn to code.

  47. I grew up in extreme poverty in the US and spent 10 years on Food Stamps and EBT cards; from 2008 to 2018. And while I'm not quite well off now, I'm not earning $36,000 a year in a job as an ESL teacher. I can confirm the internet and phones do help a lot for getting out of poverty.

  48. My cousin bought 100 Bitcoins on an 18th birthday back in early 2010 when it was still a new thing. Never sold them and they're reportedly worth $37 million right now. But being a computer repair shop owner and cybersecurity expert, she'd almost never sell those Bitcoins, no matter what. It's funny Trump is now doing this all because Dread Pirate Roberts was too stupid to protect his laptop.

  49. It's amazing how many people are willing to kiss Susan's ass when she had no competition for YEARS and the backing of the largest search platform in the world on her side. You'd have to be Kathleen Kennedy to f*ck up this badly when you're in charge of a company that runs itself that every advertiser wishes to be on.

  50. Like MOST legislation from California, it probably would've actually succeeded had they not tried to FORCE it onto everyone. That's exactly why California is as horrendous as they are now and why it's become "the new Florida" while actual Florida is thriving: Because the politicians there can NEVER respect people's choices and freedoms and always tries to force these things onto people by law. Now the entire state is crumbling apart and no sane or smart person would choose to stay in California.
