Interesting, I’ll check it out. I don’t think the AI we have now is inherently evil, but it’s good to not necessarily be forced to use it.

From DuckDuckGo AI:

No—restrictions weren’t only in one party’s states, but Republican-led states did pass several of the hardest measures, including bills in places like Texas and Oklahoma. The report also says both Democrat- and GOP-controlled states passed some more permissive siting policies, so restriction was not limited to just one party.

I’m pretty sure this is yet another example of the wealthy vs everybody else situation, so some of the Democrats succumb to bribery, campaign donations from corporate “constituents”. I like to think there are more Democrats with a sense of civic duty than there are Republicans. This is why paying attention to the actual candidate’s pitch and history is important. Don’t vote “party line”.

More permissive siting policies can legitimately be hard choices for the greater benefit of the community. Seek nuance when evaluating such policies.

wisper is the name of the ai/tech that drives the translation. there are implementations for other platforms. i got one on Linux, but haven’t really used it yet. it does work when there are other noises in the room.

This is an example of me using it in a noisy bar. The first paragraph was typed because I wasn’t sure it would work. But it works fine.

That conclusion requires a combination of empathy and compassion, characteristics people who become CEOs who rarely have.

The ones that do often get outmaneuvered by their peers and get kicked out.

If you want, it’s no skin off my back. This whisper voice to text that I have on my Android is working pretty well, but there will be similar errors in the future.

So far it’s the best one I’ve found. I don’t have to specify punctuation or anything. Basically what you’re reading is exactly what it came out with. It beats the keyboard, which for some reason keeps putting C’s and V’s where I put spaces, and I have to go back and modify everything.

Voice to text strikes again!

Here here! well said!

Many dystopian science fiction books have already become reality. Look at “Enemy of the State” for example.

Heck, back in like what 1971? Enders game predicted the whole internet Influencer concept.

Interesting. The story I’ve been hearing is it’s a supply problem caused a massive demand for the Nvidia AI chips and the ultra-fast RAM they require.

I just saw a report from SK Hynix (that triggered chip stock selloffs) that they were dialing back on production for the next generation NVidia chips. The market figured that was evidence of soft demand.

Turns out that was because those were delayed, so they decided to build more of the lower speed RAM, which I think is the stuff consumers are needing. Working from memory here, so details are likely off.

Anyway, the problem may be more about producing for the most profitable market rather than price fixing.

I look forward to the outcome. It will be nice to know the situation from an objective source.

Full disclosure, I own shares of FKLR which is an ETF of the South Korean market index that is dominated by these two companies.

It’s doing poorly just now due to that report I mentioned and a bunch of other things.
