Not like that. A server name that can be authenticated. Like when you receive an email from your bank (in the metadata), you know it’s legitimate. Each organization can set up their own server to host things they vouch for. With ActivityPub it can be viewed elsewhere with the guarantee that it’s from a trusted source.

It’s called a “name”.

Why would anyone pay for the service? Having a “name” is free, and that dumb worldcoin only works for people. It can’t work for governments or businesses.

ActivityPub is actually a good way to authenticate things. If an organization vouches for something they can post it on their server and it can be viewed elsewhere.

generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.

And? There’s already way too much data online to read or watch all of it. We could just move to a “watermark” system where everyone takes credit for their contributions. Things without watermarks could just be dismissed, since they have as much authority as an anonymous comment.

I just realized something: since most people have no idea what AI is, it could easily be used to scam people. I think that will be it’s main function originally.

Like the average person does not have access to real time stock data. You could make a fake AI program that pretends to be a trading algorithm and makes a ton of pretend money as the mark watches. The data would be 100% real and verifiable, just picked a few seconds after the the fact.

Since most people care a lot about money, this will be some of the first widespread applications of real time AI. Just tricking people out of money.

That doesn’t make much sense. What happened to the bus in the middle of the day?

Parking in Downtown Manhattan can be rented out for $30 - $50 per hour, maybe $80 all day. And that’s a car-sized space. Since a bus is two or three of those, it would make no sense to just waste $240+ on an unused bus.

Don’t look up all the problematic stuff that artists have done. It’s never ending. That’s because we don’t select artists because they’re good people, we select them because they make good art.

Nah. America had Nazis in the 30s too. We’re immune to the most rabid varieties of fascism and authoritarianism because they don’t produce all the cool products Americans demand.

Americans might be plagued with racism and bigotry, but we’re way too lazy and invested in our own lives for a coup. Literally our bread and circuses are way too good.

And ignoring the fact that they just elected a political party that wants to eliminate the very thing they’re bragging about, because an immigrant might be able to afford a doctor.

The Guardian is a UK source and isn’t the best at US news. They don’t quite understand US voters, so read the facts but ignore their opinions and analysis.

UK readers: Trump voters are like your drunk uncle down the pub who’s always shouting at footy on the telly. They’re going to talk big, but it’s doubtful they’ll ever actually get off their arse and do anything they claim.

The Guardian doesn’t really understand some American things. Losing this case will hurt Trump, because his brand is getting away with everything.

Remember when Trump lost the election and the January 6th insurance was crushed? Remember how quiet the news was? No one cared to interview Trump anymore because he was a loser. It was great.

Get ready for him to try and spin it, but it’s not really going to work. The Guardian is staffed by British people, not Americans. They don’t pay as much attention to how Americans think. Just wait for the verdict.

It’s not pervasive like that white dude (yes, we know he’s a white guy) suggests, but you can find companies with a hiring preference because they need to balance out their workforce. If you only hire people who look like you because they’re “the only talented people” or “they fit the culture”, you should balance it out with different people.

Basically to have a diverse workforce you can’t leave it up to chance or it won’t happen.

It literally was not a slur. You are trying to burnish your progressive bonafides way too hard. Word meanings change over time.

As you mentioned, there was actual slavery happening at the time. Being called a “negro” was the last thing a slave would worry about. They wouldn’t even identify as that, because they would consider themselves Ashanti or Igbo or some other West African ethnic group. It’d be like calling you “North American” (I assume).

Have you never used any of these tools? They’re excellent at doing simple things very fast. But it’s like a word processor in the 90s. It’s just a tool, not the font of all knowledge.

I guess younger people won’t know this, but word processor programs were very impressive when they first came out. They replaced typewriters; a page printed from a printer looked much more professional than even the best typewriters. This lent an air of credibility to anything that was printed from a computer because it was new and expensive.

Think about that now. Do you automatically trust anything that’s just printed on a piece of paper? No, because that’s stupid. Anyone can just print whatever they want. LLMs are like that now. They can just say whatever they want. It’s up to you to make sure it’s true.

That’s anti-Iberian.

I guarantee you, the secret ingredients are butter, garlic, salt, sugar, and cayenne. You can make it at home.

Do you just take what people say on here as fact? That’s the problem, people are taking LLM results as fact.

Or just use a convection oven. They’re super fast. 6 drumsticks or 4 thighs in 20 minutes.

You can’t just call everyone who disagrees with you a “Zionist”. We can read comments and your responses to them. That’s exactly what extremists, like Zionists, do.

This is excellent stress testing for NATO weapons. It sucks for the Ukrainians that they have to be the testing ground, but it’s better than wargames to iron out the kinks.
