  • I agree, this is posted as news when it's likely anecdotal or even fabricated. It plays on the American self-image as John Wayne types, when everyone in Europe knows they're usually not very streetwise and walk around with maps and cameras talking loudly.

    The other comments here are quick to jump in with opinions about how Americans don't take any shit, implying European simps just roll over for these pesky pilferers.

    It's a real Don't Mess with Texas vibe based on another dodgy blog article.

  • I think he's one of those readers who cannot take in the content of text while focusing on reading. You'll notice he only starts freewheeling on the last word or two of a sentence or paragraph. That's all he's heard.

  • I think I first heard this from an article by Tony Schwartz who wrote The Art of the Deal. He mentioned seeing the speeches book by Trump's bed during one of their brief meetings about Trump's book, which Trump took no part in.

  • I've been on Qobuz for a while now. It's not quite as good as Spotify when it comes to catalogue or community playlists. Other than that, I haven't seen any AI slop or ghost musicians, and the suggestions are very human. I believe they pay about 4x royalties that Spotify does.

  • This is fair enough, but it's your own belief system. Atheism is the absence of belief in God's, nothing more.

    You're free to thoughtfully pick and choose your own beliefs, in the same way religious people unconsciously do because their scriptures are so dense and contradictory.

  • A little understood rule of retail is:

    • Customer buys something, has neutral opinion.
    • Product has a problem, customer has negative opinion.
    • Company resolves problem well, customer now has positive opinion.

    That's a very important lesson for organisations to learn. A customer complaint is a golden advertising opportunity.

  • So many confident takes on AI by people who've never opened a book on the nature of sentience, free will, intelligence, philosophy of mind, brain vs mind, etc.

    There are hundreds of serious volumes on these, not to mention the plethora of casual pop science books with some of these basic thought experiments and hypotheses.

    Seems like more and more incredibly shallow articles on AI are appearing every day, which is to be expected with the rapid decline of professional journalism.

    It's a bit jarring and frankly offensive to be lectured 'at' by people who are obviously on the first step of their journey into this space.
