You are not helping people with ADD by devising some sort of convoluted “solution” which requires them to get and then keep 30 year old technology working and transfer over the result of their work with technologies that themselves require a lot of patience too.
It is just another step in that direction starting at real amateur porn (i.e. real sex by real people being filmed) over professional porn (actors being filmed), fake amateur porn (professionals pretending to be amateurs), animated or rendered or machinima porn,…
There hasn’t really been that much genuine left in porn in quite a while.
I really don’t understand why people think they need to use outdated technology and inconvenient transfer methods to be undisturbed instead of just disabling programs that generate or display notifications (e.g. on Linux the notification daemon).
Do people really have so little self-control that they can’t just not use a network connection if it exists?
Society subjects people to a lot of things that people aren’t “perfectly fine with” but only some of them have wider implications for reputation, career chances, ostracizing,… and that is the main problem with this kind of technology.
Your assumption that people need deepfake technology to fantasize about people sexually who have no interest in being on the receiving end of that is at best naive and at worst arguing in bad faith.
Agreed. It feels like a UI designed for little children or senior citizens.
In a way it has improved it. It makes it more plausible to claim that any nudes that do show up of you are fake.
Lets be perfectly honest here, especially for pictures this has been possible for at least 20 years.
What is ruining people’s lives is the obsession a conservative society has with demonizing nudity and sex.
You know what would be even more productive? Not using video (or AI) at all.
That is mostly because the big mail providers like GMail do not accept mails from just anyone anymore (part of the aforementioned anti-spam technologies) and put the rest of the spam into a separate folder.
The problems with email are many but the two that would warrant rebuilding is that the technology is a mess of under specified 1970s “standards” and the fact that email should really be replaced with multiple different systems according to modern usage.
Only a tiny portion of modern emails really use the “anyone can send an email to anyone unannounced” capability that cause all the trouble with spam.
The usage for a password reset and universal access system for accounts all over should really be split into some kind of specialized system.
As for the rest, most emails seem to be messages from systems where we have accounts or performed some other kind of signup, those could easily be authenticated with a key provided at signup both to make filtering and easier and to be able to revoke authentication, not to mention prevent selling of addresses or usage by third parties after a security leak. A more structured format for common messages (e.g. invoices, notifications about instant messages on some website,…) would also be a good idea.
Somehow I think they all wish for him to stay as far from the Tesla brand as possible.
The flaw in the analogy is that it assumes that those effects are limited to some companies when in reality every single company that existed in history has behaved this way if they weren’t stopped by regulation.
Well, maybe desert is a bit much for SF but among the cities where they are active it seems noticeable that there isn’t anything in a more humid or colder part of the country or really anywhere very green (where road signs might be obscured by growing trees, that kind of thing).
Was hoping at this point in time Waymo would be expanding more aggressively.
I suspect the tech doesn’t really work anywhere but in the bright sunny desert climate of the cities where they are active now.
Is that different from the unencrypted email we have now that is 99% spam and the other 99% are delivery problems due to anti-spam technologies?
Not all of them, some are averages of many people’s guesstimates.
IMAP
Speaking of something that needs tearing down and building anew, email is a good candidate for that.
You could show me an ad for exactly what I want in that moment and I’d immediately not want it any more.
Depends, if it is an ad for an orbital laser that targets marketing executives it might work on me.
So what you are saying is that if it is permanently cloudy and never sunny anymore in the future it is because of the people who love AI and hate solar power? I could see that happening.
If targeted advertising worked the way they say it does then why is Amazon with my entire purchase history at their disposal, still unable to stop themselves from trying to sell me a second washing machine just after I bought one from them? Or Audible with hundreds of books in my account, most of them English, is still trying to sell me German versions of books with original English language versions? The whole notion that advertising has all that data to do better advertising assumes a competence level that just isn’t there.
