And your business is highly successful but never profitable because you're always in debt and so are most of your employees and customers.

To summarize: the video opens on a series of games, each one progressively older, overlaid with a review of that game from the time it came out praising it as the best graphical fidelity of its time. Basically, they're saying "Yes, graphics got better, but we always seem to conclude that they're the best they will ever be"

There is a single precedent I can think of, which is that with some regularity I see infants/newborns referred to as "it".

Essentially true but thoroughly reductive. Like saying "live music is all about saying look at me play all these notes"

Maybe an un-based take, but these questions do have ambiguous answers, and I don't know if we should expect a machine to give an answer without nuance. If you just want the AI to say yes or no, ask something like, "Was Hitler bad?" or "Is slavery unethical?" and you will much more likely get straightforward answers.

Someone should make a list of all the Lemmy apps which are objectively better than Sync and the reasons why. That'd show them.

A few points to make and answer:

1. The app is technically free, but yes it is made by a single dev and it is/was his income, so it's ad-supported.

2. The development is still ongoing and so some things aren't finalized, but there is a one time payment option that will be available (something like $10) to just remove ads.

3. The Ultra tier which has the subscription cost (and much higher one time cost at $99) is what incurs monthly fees in this case, mostly for cloud storage for things like settings and I believe an OCR and translation API.

Ultimately, use whatever makes you happy and aligns with your principles, but there are at least a few good reasons why it is how it is.

Hey there, how's it going?

"Good!" - feeling alright

"Hanging in there" - feeling a little rough but pulling through

"It's going" - bad/tired (existential)

What, no way, that's craaazy...

The problem is that multiple unrelated communities also saw a surge of old memes when the original community blew up

I feel like he addresses this quite well in the conclusion. In regards to cars, "this is not a new phenomenon" and admits to his reliance on salesmen and mechanics.

Ultimately, he's asking that the people who make decisions about how our world is shaped have some knowledge about the things that are going to shape the world. And that essential issue is still unaddressed. Remind me, how many years ago was it that US Congress was asking Google why the bad articles show up when you search their name?

Oh, and our car-centric society in the US largely sucks. That may or may not have anything to do with our general understanding of a motor, but maybe it's worth considering how much thought has really gone into the implications of these massively affecting technologies.

Honestly, a lot of them bring up necessary questions. AI being developed so quickly means a lot of questions got pushed off until later.
