Yes a car free society should be the end goal but this will take a lot of time. We literally CANNOT wait for a better alternative, we needed to get rid of gas ten years ago.

Daily reminder that “EVs aren’t a perfect solution yet” argument is what the oil industry is pushing, so they can maximise profits for an other decade at the detriment of all of us.

Opposed to google?

It can eventually help disabled people move, see, hear and talk.

For everyday people, this will replace phones and computers completely. We will be able to project a private screen on any surface, even mid air. We will be thinking the words instead of saying them during phonecalls.

Movies and games are going to be so immersive it’s probably going to cause some serious societal issues. Larping is going to become big I’m guessing.

That’s just the surface stuff that’s easy to think of. It gets even nuttier if you think about recording and downloading dreams and memories, some of the really sci Fi stuff. The possibilities are literally endless. Obviously though, there’s a way to go, it’s still in its infancy.

Here is the actual act if anyone is interested.

Seems they banned the pervasive stuff (face recognition, humor recognition at work, etc) but left the rest alone. I haven’t had time to read the act but the article implies deepfakes are okay as long as the website tells you it’s AI which is quite surprising.

Looks like we get to keep our fancy new image and video generation toys. Hollywood is about to get fucked.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not volunteering but eventually it will be safe.

Theres definitely barriers to overcome but to go with your analogy, I drive a car everyday on the highway even though a malfunction or even just an other user being stupid can easily lead to my death. That’s just to get to work or see friends. I could imagine myself braving worse to get to use full dive vr.

But you couldn’t pay me to get into one of those death traps when cars were first invented though. I’m eager but I will definitely wait a while before jumping in.

I would choose a character and concentrate on learning him. There are builds online you can use to not get over whelmed at first by the shop.

I play an other MOBA but there is probably a lane that has two players for most of the match, you should concentrate on playing one of those two types of characters so you and your son can maximise play time together, most likely the tank would be the better choice (more forgiving, easier to learn, support character so your son gets to be the hero).

This is some really cool tech and I’m happy the trials are starting. It’s a shame having it attached to Elon is ruining the perception of it, I’m hoping other companies get in the game soon.

Congrats, you are a mouth piece for the oil industry and part of the problem.

Out of curiosity, what was it?

Hypothetical situation, if there was a way to induce lucid dreaming and record the dreams as well? Coding doesn’t really lend itself to this but advertising, filmography or architecture would benefit at least at the early concept stage.

I agree It’s all very sci-fi but if they can make a product that works like they say (sending ultrasounds to target specific parts of the brain to induce lucid dreaming), it has amazing entertainment value right out of the box regardless of its work use.

I think his point is that the REM portion still does its job regardless of if you are lucid or not during the phase.

This would actually be insane for music creation. The few times I had dreams where I was playing an instrument, it was pure fire

I’d rather work 8 hours awake and have the lucid dreaming just add to my leisure time tbh. Seems a waste to unlock the dreamworld just to be office drones in it.

I’m happy you posted it anyways, this is very interesting

Performed when requested, no questioned asked.

I guess you would have a point if Israel didn’t routinely bomb civilians and didn’t routinely lie about it.

You can still build a garden by hand even if it’s commercially done with machines. It will be the same with drawing, voice acting, etc.

The problem is and has always been capitalism and the rich that abuse of it, not automation.

Languages evolve overtime. It’s very much an insult these days.

Am I supposed to blame them for the civilian deaths and not the ones dropping bombs on hospitals, refugee camps and escape routes?

Really easy to see where this is going.

“open source image synthesis technologies such as Stable Diffusion allow the creation of AI-generated pornography with ease, and a large community has formed around tools and add-ons that enhance this ability. Since these AI models are openly available and often run locally, there are sometimes no guardrails preventing someone from creating sexualized images of children, and that has rung alarm bells among the nation’s top prosecutors. (It’s worth noting that Midjourney, DALL-E, and Adobe Firefly all have built-in filters that bar the creation of pornographic content.)”

Paid software that can be reined it so it doesn’t compete with Netflix and disney is fine, the open source stuff is satan spawn.

The easy solution would be to go after the ones that distribute the pictures, this is only about keeping the gravy train going.
