> I thought Apple said No Porn?
If you have a headset, and you haven't tried VR Porn filmed with a 180 camera, you're missing out.
I've watched porn since the birth of the internet, always for free. VR Porn is the first time I've ever actually paid for it. A lifetime subscription, in fact.
The "full eye-contact" appeal has been mentioned, but let's not forget having the talent whisper in your ear while she sits in your lap. Mind blowing.
I believe that the killer app for VR is 3D spreadsheets.
Going from 2D (x,y) to 3D (x,y,z) allows you to cube your information density. You can go from tracking a single cause, effect, to adding a literal new dimension of cause,cause,effect.
And, it would lead to a network effect: if you weren't visualizing your biz data in 3D, you'd be behind the times and left out of the conversation. Everyone that wanted to look at the same data would need the same 3D app, which means a VR headset to do it with.
Also, in terms of graphics overlays, it would be fairly low demanding, so you could do it on basically anything.
I remember leaving
OFC it was ripe for abuse. The "brigading" that you can get there never happens here. You perhaps do need to have a stake in a community before being allowed to shape the conversation.
In retrospect,
Reddits open forums breed interesting sub culture, but frankly if Reddit's IPO fails and shutters, I expect to go back to text Usenet, provided it's still around. Obviously light moderation, but still a panolpy of opinions.
I think that is exactly right. It is difficult to overestimate how much the iOS privacy restriction has impacted Metaâ(TM)a businessâ"its right there in their financials.
But if they can pile on with Twitter and force Apple to allow side loading as a consequence it could have a measurable impact on Metas business model.
There is no love list between Apple and Meta at this point.
"Fiat Currency works at the barrel of a gun. You have no choice but to accept it. "
Did you intend that as an argument against it?
While true, it is true. Fiat has a monopoly on the force that is used to back it. Crypto, without such a force, does not have that backing. And crypto is very unlikely to ever get it.
You might be upset that fiat has that monopoly by proxy, but you can be upset all you want, it's not going to change anything.
Open ended interviews when SBF is facing potential criminal charges is going to make it hard to find any lawyer that would still be willing to represent him. Especially since he's broke.
from TFA:
"The company says it has no direct plans on where to apply the functionality of this model"
This is a research experiment for it's AI, and nothing more.
Anyone celebrating this as a win for free speech but doesn't read
You do want some speech removed, because it is strictly vandalism.
Being able to discern vandalism from legitimate but contrary thought is above the ability of the algorithms we have now.
Therefore you're either with a dumpster fire of 4chan or
Here, let's start: try to define the definition of a slur that yet allows for other contributing thought.
A document would be a right PITA. This is a bad interface for typing.
However I can see the value in visualizing information in 3D vs 2D. Your data density is cubed by adding another dimension.
Consider graphs of datapoints with a z axis that can be viewed by simply pivoting the perspective.
I still remember when I figured out Pivot Tables...3 years ago.
Wow.
"If Florida should prevail this also means Parler and the soon-to-be-failed Truth Social can't ban or filter people who say the con artist should be locked up"
The most ironic commentary has come from
Whether or not doing so is a good idea is another topic. But they apparently don't recognize themselves that they would lose control over their own community if reddit et al was forced to disallow content moderation.
AIs could be developed responsibly, in an academic and controlled setting.
However, they're currently being developed in an arms race to sell consumers more advertising. That's the second worst environment, second only to development by the military.
The only checks being considered are "will this make us more money?" which is not the incentive I'd want to give to another sentience.
"Apple could have tight integration with their ego system"
That's a pretty funny typo.
You'd have to convert it to a truly anonymous commodity, like drugs.
You couldn't feasibly buy $4.5B worth of coke, but you could buy lots of it (I dunno, $50K batches? maybe work up to more?) and then sell it to someone else, even in bulk, for real fiat.
Since you're not dealing on the street, your exposure would be low--besides dealing with people that transact $50K worth of coke.
The feds might be able to trace the crypto to the first person you bought drugs with, and arrest them--but at that point, that person has enough other interest that they're either protected or in trouble for a lot of other things already. And their ability to identify you would be pretty limited, especially if you were able to rotate around to a few different suppliers.
Finding someone that would sell you $50K worth of coke, and then being able to sell it on again, would be the issue.
Who just "writes off" $50k?
You'd have to have a stupid amount of money to be willing to throw away a value that represents an entire annual wage for many people.
According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
