you can’t get a sim card anonymously here, and i believe that’s the situation in other places.

It varies by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepaid_mobile_phone#Privacy_rights

In the US you can still get a prepaid mobile without showing ID and pay with cash.

Do you like commercials? And how much are you willing to pay for TV?

If the answers are "no" and "zero", then that's going to affect how much TV you/we watch, even if you/we like the TV shows.

Clickbait. The writer is comparing historically-important books that are taught in literature classes to more modern books that can be read for fun.

Sure, we all read stuff for fun, that doesn't mean the books studied in literature classes are overrated.

Looks like OP just added the title.

I can't make out what's in her hand. A watch? The medals left by her dead father? The tiny suspenders of her child who died at a young age?

artificial general intelligence - the thing LLMs claim to be

The major GPT-based systems will deny being AGIs. Most companies will also deny this. Is anyone reputable saying LLMs are AGIs?

Agreed, but sometimes it's difficult for people to get that human interaction, for a variety of reasons.

I'm not sure the answer is robots, though...

(edit) I'm on kbin and get a "404 Not Found" from the first link.

But if I change the first link from:

https://kbin.social/c/barefoot_shoes@lemmy.world

to

https://kbin.social/m/barefoot_shoes@lemmy.world

then it works. In other words, the "c" changes to an "m" for kbin.
