Oh ok, sure, I didn’t think of it that way 🤷🏻‍♂️

I do agree with you, though why not just not buy cars which have touch screen controls? You don’t need legislation to filter your purchases.

I’m delighted when people text back and we have a conversation, though I don’t find it frustrating when that doesn’t happen.

This is mainly because I keep track of important conversations in some external system, messages I’m waiting for, etc.

You never want to be sitting there waiting for a response, the only reason that’s annoying for you is because you have that tug on your mind and you’re not able to do other things until that tug has resolved itself. Keeping track of it externally means that you’re not having to keep track of it internally. That’s what you’re really frustrated at, that pull at your attention that means you’re not able to focus on other things.

It was thought that sodium ions and lithium ions couldn’t be used together in a single solid-state electrolyte system due to their chemical qualities, but the AI system indicated that such a material was possible. When the researchers tested the idea, it turned out to be true.

I studied systems theory, I’m just recounting what I know based on how I understand systems work.

pp. 83-5 Thinking in Systems Donella Meadows talks about hierarchy, resilience, etc.

We are in a more resilient position outside the EU than we were inside of it; we are dictating our own laws, we are becoming more stable by no longer relying on immigration to fill in the gaps of our job market, no longer reliant on foreign aid.

In the short term, of course this is painful. It’s withdrawal symptoms. In the long-term, it means that the UK will stick around for longer, regardless of whatever turmoil our neighbours get into.

I think we were always told it was going to be bad before it got better.

I wasn’t old enough to vote for Brexit at the time (just under the voting age), and I likely would have voted for Remain had I had the chance, though it feels a little unreasonable to judge the outcome of the Brexit decision just yet.

Looks interesting, though I feel like the ground being this indestructible plane takes away from it. I’d want to be able to ground stomp craters, create earthquakes, have some sort of ground physics there.

Reminds me of Katamari.

“Open”AI. This blocking manoeuvre kills progress.

Are you formally diagnosed? If you had a formal diagnosis from a doctor then that’s something you could point at to your family members.

Oh ok, thanks! That’s odd it would show the update for you earlier than me, it’s showing the updated information now.

Um, no? The article you linked to shows that they’re planning to launch it, though they haven’t actually tried yet, let alone achieved a successful launch…?

That’s a whole lot of waste. 😵

I went on omegle not too long ago actually and the thing I remember was that the text version of the website was inundated with bots.

You had to skip through maybe 10-15 bots before you would find that one real person, and even then it was hit or miss whether they would actually want to stay and have a conversation.

Another thing: the constant “asl” as the top of every conversation; it’s like people were trying to use it as a hook-up / dating / sexting app rather than it’s actual purpose of connecting with people from around the world. I think that mission got lost somewhere.

Here’s to hoping they didn’t throw too much money into this…

Instead of transforming wheels, when are we going to move to some sort of AI-driven robot legs attached to a chair? Evolution has already solved this problem.

This is not a new technology, I’m not sure how practical this is at the moment given how heavy / bulky it is compared to how it would be otherwise, as well as how expensive the technology is.

The transforming wheels technology looks promising though, that could fundamentally change everything; whether it works in practice is really whether the wheels are load-bearing or not.

Hasn’t this happened before?
