What was the point of sharing this?


To provide background on use of force investigations, including differences between federal and state actors. It even has some background targeted towards vehicles, albeit from a different incident.


This entire debate over the years is because so many confidently assert that AI can think, or that AI will soon be our God, or our ruler, etc.


What a weird thing to say


Your Netflix bill is about to skyrocket and there's no guarantee you'll have access to those titles.


Well if I can cancel my HBO Max it will probably be a zero-sum thing (all the crappy "discovery" content they tacked on was just annoying and I have little interest in their "sports" offerings)


The unfortunate reality is that HBO may have less content but there's also less garbage. I'm constantly blown away by how mediocre everything on Netflix is. I only have it because it's bundled into myobile bill at a legacy discount which makes it only a few dollars a month. I wouldn't pay full price for Netflix now and I will likely remove it altogether if they do another price hike that adds a few more dollars beyond my current discount (~70%).


Forgot to reply, dunno about what is the focus in different markets but in Sweden the HBO-Discovery merger meant that 3 of the 12 or so old linear channels got sucked into it, what those channels lived off was cheap reality-TV of drunk/famous/naked/whatever.

I got HBO to watch good shows and suddenly the frontpage was filled with promotions of this inane reality-TV crap that I didn't have any interest in really paying for.

Yes, Netflix has added some reality crap like those fixed Tyson boxing fights and similar, but the ratio of crap to good content was still in heavy favor of content (and most importantly, they didn't try to fill my front-page with the crap).


> HBO may have less content but there's also less garbage

If you leave the featured areas and venture into any of the categories, you will see that HBO is also full of junk. HBO -> Browse by Genre -> A-Z -> any of them are full of junk.

The Netflix featured pages are more geared to showing you stuff you haven't seen yet, while HBO is geared toward showing you popular stuff, even if you have watched it on HBO.


I always smile at these situations. Yahrrr!


Yeah what I was thinking was ah higher quality low bitrate content. Will need to set the apps to auto update some stuff.


The problem seems more to be that every last one of these companies are burning through cash at an astonishing rate. No one, least of all Google, is making a profit from AI. They keep dangling AGI in front of investors even though no one can really define what it is.

Companies like Uber and Amazon operated at a loss, true. But they had an actual product. And they didn't come close to the money Google, Meta, OpenAI and Microsoft are losing.


Perhaps the fact that the Israeli state are the only ones making this claim, and many multiple experts, humanitarians, countries, leaders, are saying the exact opposite should be sufficient enough to debunk the claim.


This post and whole comment section is like a coordinated advertisement


yes, because we enjoyed the course and the community so much that we're very much looking forward to others joining


Is this an ad?


I'd say the fact that I'm unable to show purchase intention without being accused of being a shill proves my point.


I was unaware that you had a point.


They feel like cousins


Can you point me to three times Zuck has said he's a "huge supporter of the Fediverse?"
