Your picking apart the words doesn't matter if police are more incompetent with AI than without it. AI being the catalyst to a worse society is a more interesting and worthwhile topic than whether "AI is responsible" is the right way to phrase it.
> Why Americans are not rioting in the streets is beyond me.
That's not entirely fair. The January 6 rioters acted because they knew how bad for the country it would be if the wrong candidate got into office and started a war.
They were told that the election was stolen and the system was rigged. Under the pretense that you were told no more fair and free elections would you not go do exactly what the j6ers did, I think you would be foolish to say no.
The only core issue is that everything that was said that day was a whole a total lie and the responsibility hangs with the liars
Right, I'm going out of my way to avoid inviting Google/Apple and their respective app store surveillance ecosystems into my transactions. I don't even have banking apps installed. I don't understand why so many people are prostrating themselves to this future for minor convenience.
Is there a site that deserves more than this one to be destroyed by slop? It's hypocritical but telling for the places most actively trying to profit from it to ban it themselves.
It’s not hypocritical at all. You can be a fan of a technology and still acknowledge its downsides. Every technology has places it is useful and places it is harmful.
Its the only device in our household that I have utterly failed at securing or blocking content from our children on.
My son has found about 25 different ways to access YouTube across our Android, Android TV, Apple and Roku devices. I have found ways in almost all of them to "nicely" block youtube for him (while keeping it for me or keeping the device functional).
Roku is the only one that just doesn't give a crap. Screw Roku.
Roku loves auto changing to really innapropriate shit after the kid appropriate episode ends.
For example, start an episode of Mittens and Pants for four year old, at end of episode, instead of playing next episode, it switched to Married With Children.
From your first paragraph I was expecting something from the old degen meta like "naked yoga" or "transparent haul" or whatever they're currently doing... Or maybe some of the brainrot genai content that's been booming on kids tv
Kinda surprised you consider a completely banal sitcom to be problematic for children.
I mean I'd expect the kids to think it's boring and not get any of the subplot... But it's completely family safe?
The kid is four. There is a difference between safe and appropriate. The recommender could at least suggest something in the same genre. It could also have suggested a deep dive into financial markets, not unsafe content for kids, but also not kid appropriate either.
Historically, the Protestant and Catholic churches invested very heavily in liberal arts education in America; initially, more than the state did. The university (and even the liberal arts college) as an institution isn’t fundamentally incompatible with Christianity.
Just in case: I am saying that the progress being referred to is progress in a particular direction, and that direction is a chosen one, and the choice is made by humans without any actual scientific basis.
Just like blasphemy etc in religion have no actual basis aside from being in a direction other than the direction of the religion.
To one group progress looks a lot different from what it looks like to another group, we can’t just say “progress” any more than we can say “blasphemy”.
