Do we get to see the cross-dressing photo though?

The timing couldn’t be better. For me, the only thing missing from Firefox for Android (or, even better, Mull) was a translation feature; otherwise, it was perfect. The lack of translation was the only reason I found myself opening the Chrome app, and I am eagerly looking forward to no longer needing it.

I was once a fervent supporter of Google, but now see it moving towards Apple's approach. This shift doesn't feel like the result of malicious intent on the part of Google’s engineers, but rather a change driven by non-technical roles (business, marketing, ...) aiming to boost revenue margins. When these roles lead a company's direction, you can already hear the ticking clock of its fate.

Oh wow, your argument is so solid. I must defend my place in society because progress is allegedly bad, otherwise I will be replaced by something more meaningful and efficient. You call me naive, but have you read yourself? You probably think that wielding words like 'nuclear bombs' gives your statement weight. To consider technology intrinsically good or bad is barely something a five-year-old might argue. Bravo, you've outdone yourself. You're probably also among those who think nuclear energy is inherently harmful.

I work in AI, what you fear is precisely what I'm waiting for. I can't wait to see jobs like taxi driving automated—indeed, any dehumanizing job that involves mindless repetition because our technology hasn't caught up yet. As for actors, we're already doing almost everything in CGI; do you really think we'll stick to old methods out of respect for the past workers? Not much different from arguing that streaming platforms should have been illegal, so that Blockbuster would have remained open.

Will I be replaced? Oh, how strongly I hope so. I can't wait to see the beauty of progress in motion. It's clear that your fear sabotages your understanding of AI, and your description of it as a mere 'advanced toy' copying pixels and sounds could not be more telling.

He doesn't identify as old.

The demo is showing some cherry-picked examples, but it is definitely on a good track. I can't wait to see future releases with more consistency.

It's perplexing that religions with misogynistic practices are accepted on the premise that the oppressed women are supposedly happy and fulfilled. This assumption overlooks the possibility (certainty) that these women may be content because they have been conditioned to know nothing else, as it has been their norm throughout their lives.

I'll stop using Internet before I even consider whitelisting YouTube.

It's the same old story of tech shaking things up. This time it's actors drawing the line, making headlines because, well, they're actors and their stage is way bigger.

Nobody's saying identity theft isn't an issue. But to say all AI is bad is like telling the horse to trash talk cars. Progress is about moving forward, not getting trapped in a loop protecting what we're used to. We adapt or we get left behind, simple as that.

AI writes better than that.

Okay, then let's hypothetically say Israel forms a terrorist organization that doesn’t overlap with the Israeli government itself, would they then have the right to attack Gaza? This organization would essentially be in the same position relative to Israel as Hamas is to the Palestinians.

The way you debate reminds me of someone who might have abandoned their education prematurely. Are you going to complain to the teacher because you cannot acknowledge that your reasoning is flawed, incomplete, and biased? Your approach to this discussion is quite frankly, absurd.
