Women are so cute and I love you too and I love you too [ad infinitum]

I'll take it.

I don't think so. It requires at least some inherent knowledge of tape decks, that they have "head" readers and that those need cleaning.

50/50 that or it gets sexualized and women are told to put it away

To summarize: the video opens on a series of games, each one progressively older, overlaid with a review of that game from the time it came out praising it as the best graphical fidelity of its time. Basically, they're saying "Yes, graphics got better, but we always seem to conclude that they're the best they will ever be"

I'll be honest, for a minute I thought it was not a flaw but referring to "Monday Me, on Monday" which is a concept I can relate to

I don't think it's just a feeling of futility - it's true phones can be distracting and offer more potential entertainment, and it's true learning can sometimes be a slog. At the same time, learning can be fun and engaging, and phones can offer access to a wealth of information (of highly varying quality, admittedly).

Concentrating too hard on mere academic success as gauged by metrics like school grades is undoubtedly discouraging for a student who only goes to school if they are told they must.

Maybe an un-based take, but these questions do have ambiguous answers, and I don't know if we should expect a machine to give an answer without nuance. If you just want the AI to say yes or no, ask something like, "Was Hitler bad?" or "Is slavery unethical?" and you will much more likely get straightforward answers.

Damn man, I sympathize.

Seems like a good deal if it proactively convinces bad actors to stop from reaching out

A few points to make and answer:

  1. The app is technically free, but yes it is made by a single dev and it is/was his income, so it's ad-supported.

  2. The development is still ongoing and so some things aren't finalized, but there is a one time payment option that will be available (something like $10) to just remove ads.

  3. The Ultra tier which has the subscription cost (and much higher one time cost at $99) is what incurs monthly fees in this case, mostly for cloud storage for things like settings and I believe an OCR and translation API.

Ultimately, use whatever makes you happy and aligns with your principles, but there are at least a few good reasons why it is how it is.

I agree with the spirit, but I disagree with what the point of the comic is - it's not trying to make a point about respect per se, just about freedom of speech. Even if you wouldn't be a part of a community that allows hate speech, if you encounter it "in the street" so to speak - there's just nothing you can do.

The point still stands, in the minutiae you're addressing. People post absolute garbage opinions on a regular basis, and are free to do so, as long as their platform allows it. This doesn't go into the consequences of pissing off a lot of people, but you're still free to do it.
