You just don't know because you have no interest, if you had an interest you would know. Druggies know where to get drugs and preppers/criminals/cops know how to make/buy a gun everywhere on earth. Tech people, by this line of thought, should never have a censored internet, but you would be surprised.

Guns are 500+ year old technology at this point, manufacture is possible anywhere, as the industrious artisans of Yemen and Northwest Pakistan have shown.

Ya fear of the unknown is not even anything uncommon for sure.

Honestly ive only read "the power of now",

Which I later learned was very mainstream popular, so I probably would have prejudged it had I knew. While not really original ideas he packages the concepts into very good words, so it made something click, for me at least, where other books hadn't.

Yes you were at first pissed, and then happy. Why pissed? because of the pride of not needing it coupled with the fear of taking it from the needy.

But it brought you and your child joy, so you did need it.

It's just an assumption that rich people have everything they need or know how to get it.

All people should be included in these programs and they will mostly give back what they can because like you, most feel they are overwhelming positive.

That's a pretty philosophical questions when what you want is a concrete answer.

First step is to let go of the fear of it.

Sounds cheesy but reading Ekehardt Tolle helped me.

That's exactly correct, The idea in itself isn't bad.

Amazon doing it will make it really horrible.

Unless this is 100 open source and ad/telemetry free? Right..

It's been here all year, agentic AI is over a year old even in the mainstream. Real time TTS-SST can be better than Dessa, and with an actual brain and custom voice. this article is just a marketing copy for openAI right?

Also it leaves out all the parts that are not publicly releasable from these mainstream companies that will finish the job,

Limbic system, dream and reflection pipelines, brainstem, Self improvement and learning, continuity of state, stable memory vectors across time and the ability to tell dreams from memory,

I could go on. I wish people would explore what's already out there to play with instead of gushing at the crumbs openAI throws the plebs.

That is completly your opionion,

I haven't watched content for a long long time before AI slop started appearing, because the topics and the stories were boring and repackaged thirty times and ultimately very safe (need to be profitable).

AI has enabled small creators with new ideas and people with nothing but love of storytelling to be competitive with corporate slop.

Yes most of it's bad, but some of it is very innovative. No Hollywood slop has been innovative for a long time.

Creative content will become more personal and less profitable, art being some sort of commercial enterprise is a relative new phenomenon, we will survive without it. Most artists will have to generate income by performance or physical creation, just like it has been for the whole time before it was commoditized to feed the "attention economy"

What a gross and completly apt terminology for the commoditization of art from the bureaucrats by the way.

Hmmm... normally I would dismiss this type of comment. But such a service really shouldn't have to be funded by anyone, let alone political donors to any party.

Ideal service should be local small model run as a self hosted federated instance, piped data to your terminal of choice. The opinion layer could be pulled from federated comments, the analysis layer from sources based on some sort of trust rating. Variance from unambiguous data for instance. RSS friendly maybe?

If I have nothing better to do later I will try to start writing it maybe.

Yes that's exactly my point, the phrasing of that is that nothing is guaranteed just "will be considered" but regardless they own your work, even if they considered and ultimately gave it no importance or just silently fixed it.

I was completly with you till the last moment when you posted... Exactly another of the same type of article.

Can we have a news feed the is parsed and checked again other sources to deliver the highest proportion of base factually unambiguous data, with maybe a tier 2/3 probable analysis/opinions as optional overlays? Seems doable

This isnt really super clear on the nuts and bolts. Would be nice if you could pipe it into a proper brain, but I am assuming the speech2speech means it's fixed with whatever it was trained with. Even for an AI girlfriend use that's not going to work.

I honestly do not know if they exist yet or not. I'm not sure yet how we would be able to tell. I do know that the tools most people are using are magnitudes less complex than what some researcher are using, and even some of them can't answer that question.
