> Maybe I’m the exception. Or maybe the harms are overblown.

Or maybe you are one person and one person is never a big enough data set.

That isn't normal and it's actively enforced against in gyms and pools where I live.

Glasses are passively recording. Recording with a phone is active (for the most part). You need to take it out and point it at what you are recording...

After saying that AI will empower everyone, he responds to the idea of kids not learning their multiplication tables as 'not mattering'. He says that we'll invent 'new things' for them to learn! ...what?

Do you know what's actually empowering? Knowledge. AI cannot give you knowledge. It is earned through effort. Always has been and always will be.

He is a charlatan.

Yet we still tell students to buy textbooks. The individual must always pay. The corporation can do whatever the hell it wants.

The hypocrisy of this new world is already catching up to us.

I think what the poster was getting at is that finding a minimum is a negative way to view human health (what is the minimum amount of food a human needs to survive, what is the minimum I need to brush my teeth so they don't fall out of my head, etc.).

Restructuring society in healthy ways (shorter work weeks, bike lanes, green cities, etc.) will allow us to achieve whatever that minimum would have been (had we measured!) and more!

At least I think that's the distinction.

The only time I prefer to sit is after I have done a good deal of exercise. I don't mean that as a jab of any sort, just a differing perspective from someone who gets much more than a minimum of required exercise.

Why wouldn't it be a part of the education?

I've seen that sentiment shared a couple of times in the past day and little else before. Just something I've noticed...

I find the self loathing is usually well qualified and not at all a performative act. Performative for who exactly?

Thinking any one person is a 'thought leader' is, generally, a dumb thing to think.

You grew up.

Even if not an explicit gift, isn't all OSS implicitly a gift? I'm having trouble understanding the practical difference.

Cultivating is a great word choice. It would fit in nicely in a Brave New World.

Worryingly revisionist to compare 1980s media advertising budgets to what's going on now (even if they were 'high' for the time).

I skimmed the important parts of the paper. This is akin to finding that cigarettes reduce stress. Any smoker/former smoker will tell you this is true (in the immediate sense).

Does that give any weight to the stance that smoking is good for you and society at large? No.

We are right to panic about social media.

Consistency of style in the general sense is what designers wish to avoid. Consistency of browser behaviour and default style, on the other hand, is the grail from which creativity can flourish unbounded on the web.

That's the stench of continuous public cannabis use, which even as a cannabis user, I don't like. Unless you are smoking in your house, the stench does not last.
