Not only that, but when I search for an image of a "tin foil hat" I want to see results of a Tin Foil Hat. I don't want to see conspiracy theorists, Lizard People, or UFO's. Let alone recommending me images of Big Foot or anti-vaxers in the name of "discovery". Just show me what I search for, is it that hard?

I'm with you on that. These AI companies are desperately trying to reach IPO before they are exposed. Once the IPO hits and the stock skyrockets from greedy investors jumping on the next big thing the executives will cash out and the investors will be left holding the bag when the dirty truth comes out.

I love my steam deck and use it all the time. I have the original run model and it is still holding up great. I added emulation so I can play old console games on it, in addition to my Steam library. I can play games from the NES era right through to PS3. I play all kinds of games on it, from Super Mario Bros 3 to Super Mega Baseball. I find it is perfect for games in that mid range tier, things like Hades, Rayman Legends, Tony Hawk etc...

Comment Re:Last FM != Soma FM (Score 2) 10

I have been using last.fm since 2008. I mainly use it to track/chart my listening habits. It is great for those who like statistics, see which bands you listen to most and when, trends in your plays. It is also handy to easily find bands you listen to who are in town, connect with people who have similar listening habits and just chat about music. Pretty much a Facebook for bands/artists, when Facebook was about connecting people (pre-like, wall, and corporations using it).

Soma.FM was great back in the day, when it was mainly Groove Salad.

Maybe I'm mistaken but the video linked in the summary looks like it is AI generated. With that said, I still agree with what Woz (real or not) is saying in the video. AI can be a handy tool, but use it as a tool, not a crutch. I find many people are using it as a crutch or a way to get them through life, not assist them. Instead of trying to solve a problem on their own, they instantly resort to AI and this is going to slowly kill their ability to think on their own. Just like those same people who rely so heavily on GPS when driving that they ignore their own eyes and drive into construction sites, into bodies of water, off cliffs, etc.

We are entering a very interesting time for the human race. I can see many good things happening from AI, like radical medical advancements or better ways to design products. But I can also see a large chunk of the population becoming absolutely dead weight and essentially mindless drones as they lose their ability to read, write, or even think clearly because they allow AI to do it for them.

You really think that not a single other person/company could think "hey what if we played this video over the internet instead of using physical media?"

I think it was inevitable. If Netflix didn't do it, some other startup or established company would have.
