Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the big risk with AI is its use as a disinfo tool. Skynet ain’t no where near close, but a complete post truth world is possible. It’s already bad now… Could you imagine AI generated recordings of crimes that are used as evidence against people? There are already scam callers that use recordings to make people think theyve kidnapped relatives.

I really feel like most people aren’t afraid of the right things when it comes to AI.

Huh. It actually runs fine for me on android and firefox. I did the thing though where you can download a website as an app:

Let me know if that runs any better for you.

UN peacekeepers famously did not get involved when the Serbs massacred Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in their own “safe zones”. I don’t know if there are counter examples since then that demonstrate peacekeepers actually keeping peace, but that was the worst situation imaginable, and they still didn’t get involved and just let it happen.

This is incredible. I hope they get married.

Yeah, it’s way more a problem with urban design in my opinion. In a lot of parts of the US, including where I’m at, a lot of cities are just… One road. Maybe two. You just continue to add stuff to the road and then become surprised when traffic happens and then it’s time to try (and fail) making more roads. It’s a city on a stick. Being a cyclist means risking your life to ride near the side of a street where there is no sidewalk and praying to God people can see you. And then every single commute is much longer than it needs to be.

I do not like it… but a car is the only reasonable option for cities designed so poorly.

Yeah, right now they offer 100 free searches and then 5 bucks a month capping out at 300 searches, along with other tiers. Would much prefer it to be more like a prepaid cellphone, and just buy searches… or maybe have the searches roll over to the next month lol. I’ll still try the free searches, but it would be nice to throw money at the thing instead of having the stress of yet another subscription service to remember to cancel if I stop using it.

I can completely get behind paying for a service if that means the service works and is better than all the other ones. I’ll at least try it out. Personally, I’d probably prefer if I could pay for a certain number of searches (like pay for a 1000 searches with 20 bucks) instead of the subscription model. I’m glad that there’s an ad-free search service though.

I had never heard of Kagi before; I’ll need to look into it.
