Great article. I agree with everything the author said.

I'm pretty sure panel 2 and panel 4 should have the same text

🚨 Improper use of meme format 🚨

“Providing young people with a safer, healthier experience online has always been core to our work,” Google said. “In collaboration with youth, mental health and parenting experts, we’ve built services and policies to give young people age-appropriate experiences, and parents robust controls.”

It's ridiculous to design an app specifically to get children addicted, then say it's the role of the parents to prevent children from getting addicted. The parents are literally the obstacle that Google is fighting against. The solution is to pass legislation that will force the apps to become less addictive.

No matter what Google does, people are going to come up with gotcha scenarios to complain about. People need to accept the fact that if you don't specify what race you want, then the output might not contain the race you want. This seems like such a silly thing to be mad about.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally, yes I feel like art is less interesting now. Over the past couple years or so I've found that I'm less impressed by art that I see online.

I'm not an artist, and I'm not someone who seeks out art to appreciate it. I'm just talking about art that I scroll past on the internet. I find it less interesting now. I assume that it's all AI generated, and if it's not, I figure it might as well be. It's just not interesting to me anymore. The image generated by a prompt is no more interesting or thought provoking than the prompt itself.

I've never seen so many uses of the word "lemon" in an article before

The article says that Apple is still planning on making iMessage compatible with RCS, but isn't Apple's incentive gone if there's no longer any EU pressure? How likely is it that Apple will cancel their RCS plans?

That's basically me when my car has an issue. I don't care how it works, I just want someone to fix it.

I've been thinking lately about how someone could use AI to make a "social network" site that works just like Facebook, except the user is the only real person and everyone else is AI. The AI users would respond very favorably to everything you post, and all of your posts would go viral. It would be kind of like an AI girlfriend, except instead of providing companionship, it would make you feel like you're famous and popular. (I doubt Facebook would want to be associated with a product like that, but I bet someone will make something like that eventually.)

My partner is a big VR fan and he's excited to get his Apple Vision Pro, but he's already planning on returning it once he gets bored of it. This seems like something that only hardcore Apple fans would want to buy and keep. Nobody wants to watch movies or use their computer while isolated from the world while having a heavy thing strapped to their face. I don't doubt that this is the best way to watch movies in VR, but if watching movies in VR was a non-niche thing that people actually wanted, it would have already caught on by now.

It should play a jump scare sound when you get an exception
