We had working digital assistants since more than a decade ago.
Siri, Google Assistant, and even jankier offerings like Cortana and S Voice were perfectly fine at creating calendar events, timers, and diction typing.
The LLMs are actively worse, and where is this more apparent than with Google Maps. If you enable Gemini, Google Assistant is pseudo-disabled in a limbo state, and you are left with no assistant at all for Google Maps.
Worth noting that the Nordic model made Norway, and other Nordic countries, quite rich even before they discovered oil.
It is replicable, and continued to make Nordic countries without oil, rich as well.
Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.
Same reason it's not recommended to use metal pots or utensil for curries, the metallic taste can leech into the food.
Yes. Musk, and alot of the right wing crowd, seem to subscribe to bio-essentialism, which reduces the only purpose of human life down to procreation and passing down their genes.
Anyone who cannot, or does not do this is deemed a failure, e.g. trans people, intersex people, gay/lesbians, infertile women or men, old people.
Musk is a father of 14, and has issued multiple "warnings" that low birth rate is most pressing issue, and that people should reproduce as much as possible.
It tracks because they think anyone who isn't rich, healthy, white, and male is a disability
Maybe it's already stuck there 😭
Actually, this will reduce poverty because poor people who get lower prices can sell their identity and profiles to people who want lower prices /s
Debate isn't effective, and its main purpose is theatrical. It is basically the modern day equivalent of gladiator fights, except with the side effect that it platforms and legitimises the opinions of the participants, no matter how extreme.
There is now mountains of scientific evidence showing the debates have limited to no effect at changing people's minds. Instead, simply making friends and spending time with different perspective is effective.

AI = Actually Indians
I feel conflicted. On one hand, the underpaid work often carried out by Indians is getting recognised. On the other, this is also saying that the collective work of 700 Indians is no different to AI slop.
They've replaced the button that goes to the top of unread messages with a summarise with Meta AI 🤢🤮
Damn is there a community for this sort of content, like the opposite of OrphanCrushingMachine

Even ignoring the hands which you could chalk up to potato quality, the text and logo on the t shirt are a dead giveaway.
If you don't trust the BBC, then the Australian Associated Press also arrived at a similar finding.
