Comment Yeah, well... (Score 1) 57

Some people question whether interacting with AI replicas of the dead is actually a healthy way to process grief

How about these assholes process their grief their way, and the rest of us will choose our own paths without them pretending to be our parents or guardians?

If your life consists of trying to figure out how to restrict the ways other people relate to their losses, your life is a net loss to society. Or, more succinctly, you're a shithead.

Comment Re:Face/finger vs pwd (Score 1) 80

If someone was willing to physically overpower me and force me to unlock my device, surely they'd be willing to hold a knife/gun to me to get a password

I believe you've forgotten about the various police forces. They're not likely to comprehensively torture you (in the USA, anyway.) But they are likely to manipulate you physically to unlock your device(s.) The police do all kinds of underhanded things here.

So they are slacking 20% of the time now. But if they don't have to show up for work 1 day a week they won't slack off anymore? Not sure I'd take that bet.

The quote from Office Space says it all. It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation?

When researchers asked what the four-day structure had changed, 82% of surveyed companies reported positive impacts on staff well-being. 50% saw positive effects on reducing staff turnover and 32% said the policy had noticeably improved their recruitment, the study reports.

Comment This was always the plan (Score -1, Flamebait) 36

They don't really care about what you think "network neutrality" means.

They want everyone in the U.S. to be on as shitty an internet as possible to reduce the ability to communicate with each other and the world. Bye-bye fast lanes! Everyone gets the same speed, which will be poor.

The internet has allowed Farr too much flexibility in people communicating to the mind of the government, time to lock that shit down.

Comment SO Still better than most places (Score 1) 90

Not too worry though. Most answers on SO are so poor that this AI has no chance.

Although this is true, it's still the best of all possible options as far as I can tell. If I'm searching for a coding question I will turn to any StackOverflow post over any Medium article...

Although I may have to hunt through answers a bit to find the truly best solution over the accepted one.

What you say is why I still don't use AI for coding much if at all, I never find very useful what it tries to give me.

Comment Why would you not want this? (Score 4, Insightful) 90

The whole point of answering on StackOverflow is to help people. For free.

Spreading the knowledge you posted out to an even wider group of people is exactly what everyone should want to happen with information they posted.

I imagine they could make the whole issue go away by giving anyone who complains 10 reputation points. Or ignite a bonfire by giving anyone who complains a "Whiner" badge. :-)
