Currently utilizing it in washington state. One of the first. Here's the biggest part: you need to spend one hour everyday doing this. It's basically meditation because you can't have anything interrupt you or do something else. You can split that into two thirty minutes sessions but fuck as a single father Its been impossible to find the time.
You can but you're told not to because you have to focus on the music and the sensation of the electric tingles on your tongue. So no I think it would be hard to read during it. It requires full mindfulness to get the best gain. Additionally, you cannot listen to it before bed, or in bed since it might put you to sleep. It's very soothing. But basically, it's an hour of meditation daily.
Nah they added a "mature" and "sexual" content option for posts but they will still restrict posts to only be visible to you. And it seems that there's no clear line. I've had posted restricted of women in bikinis

But in all honesty, as much as I love the idea of fediverse. I really do want a "town square" that's moderated by the community. I would love something like wt.social. or a wikipedia equivalent to Twitter.

Probably moral guidelines that are left leaning. I've found that chatGPT 4 has very flexible morals whereas Claude+ does not. And Claude+ seems more likely to be a consumer facing AI compared to Bing which hardlines even the smallest nuance. While I disagree with OP I do think Bing is overly proactive in shutting down conversations and doesn't understand nuance or context.
“Here’s the thing,” Robinson said. “Whether you’re talking about Adolf Hitler, whether you’re talking about Chairman Mao, whether you’re talking about Stalin, whether you’re talking about Pol Pot, whether you’re talking about Castro in Cuba, or whether you’re talking about a dozen other despots all around the...
The best part is when you argue this, they will argue with nuance and equal footing. As if the basis of this movement is legitimately comparable to super liberal people that... Checks notes want human rights for others.
I... I'm not sure? I feel like it does introduce a bit of bias. The anonymity helps to add some blindness on upvoting comments. For example, I doubt a girl with their name intact would post openly about how to go about having an abortion in a red state.
I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it.

To be fair, people are having their right to exist being questioned, and some people just became second class citizens by law recently. It's kind of a big deal.
You think the recent lbtq+ ruling at the supreme court level, the trans laws refusing healthcare to trans people, roe v Wade reversal, Florida's removing trans minors from their families by force are not people having their right to exist questioned, then you are probably a republican. So that makes sense.
I thought it was more like he was firing everyone and showed up with the kitchen sink to pour more fire to him throwing out everything and the kitchen sink.

It makes me wonder if we can create AIs that behave close enough to humans by adding an additional neurological baseline noise to the LLM training. Then throwing it in simulations to see whether social sciences might work. I'd be curious to see how true to life something like that would be as well.
An update to Google's privacy policy suggests that the entire public internet is fair game for it's AI projects. If Google can read your words, assume they belong to the company now, and expect that they’re nesting somewhere in the bowels of a chatbot.
And yet somehow, they still have the shittiest AI this side of ChatGPT and Claude. (Source: tested PaLM 2 on Poe, and Bard). Checking out the fine tunings of Llama, it doesn't seem like more training is always better. You'll hit a wall. And even tuning seems to be an art at the moment.

Scams that once bilked victims out of hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars are now increasingly convincing them to move their investment and retirement accounts into phony investment schemes.
Seems like a pretty straight forward solution. If you can't immediately meet the person, then it's probs a scam. If they ask about money, needing money, investing it, etc. It's a scam

Does anyone think that due to how usernames work on the Fediverse, we might get some people using their real names as usernames?
I'm thinking about how emails ended up becoming. Where our first email addresses were so wacky, and slowly we just wanted out real names.
