Thanks for the link, I had no idea companies already existed for this.

Yeah…what we have today as “AI” makes a ton of mistakes. Well, maybe not a ton, but enough that it cannot be relied on without a human to correct it.

I use it as a foundation at work.

ChatGPT, write me a script that does this, this, and that.

I often, like 98% of the time, won’t get what I asked for or will get something that it interpreted incorrectly. It’s common sense to me but maybe not to others to not run whatever it spits out blindly. Review what it outputted, then test it somewhere. I often create a similar file structure somewhere else and test there and then after a few tests and reviewing and making modifications, then I feel comfortable running whatever it spit out to me.

But I don’t think I’ll ever not double check whatever any type of AI spits out as a response to me for whatever I’ve asked. Humans should always have the last word before action, especially when it comes to healthcare.

If you really value free speech, you’d let people speak things that you disagree with. Otherwise, no, you aren’t advocating for free speech.

I’m all for free speech! But only if you say things that don’t upset me :(

There’s an app I got for Plex for my Meta Quest 3 and I gotta say that it is top notch. They have a bunch of settings for how you’d like your environment to look like but I prefer the one that makes you feel you’re at the movies and it really does feel that way.

Not sure if that’s what you were getting at or not but I enjoy it when I’m out and about instead of using my iPad or iPhone.

Downside is that you need to sideload this which requires a Meta developer account (free, just unnecessary hassle) as far as I know. Other is that it requires Plex and not the native Netflix/etc. app. Though YouTube has a similar format in their official app.

I mean I want one but the only reason I don’t have one is because I’m not paying $3500 for one. And even if I could get one used for under $1000, I’m still not because a majority of customers feel the same way, so this was DOA for that reason alone. No developer is developing anything fun for this en masse with no customer base.

I think a majority of people are in this boat. People flock to anything with the apple logo on it, but this was just too damn expensive.

That headset is more expensive than most MacBooks, just for reference.

Thanks for the corrections! This is good to know.

The US is currently giving away free test kits to all Americans, shipping is also free so this will only cost you your time.

They allow 4 per household and the tests do expire, but I feel everyone should get these to have on hand just in case they believe they have symptoms.

How long until it’s closed?

That’s pretty awesome! That had some options like that for sale.

This specific listing says that this is at no additional cost to the buyer. They give you 250 miles or 2 days to rethink the deal that was made and it extends to everyone. Not as good as yours but still good since the law doesn’t require it here.

Surprised to see there were some archived versions from a few months ago for this but the site seemed to have been broken by archiving though I was able to copy and paste it out and see more but still nothing.

Thanks for the suggestion!

For real lol. And that last bit on their comment is pure irony. I don’t understand why anyone upvoted that because that is the exact kind of comment meant for downvoting.

I always thought it was for mistletoe which has green leaves and red berries. But maybe that’s something that came after red and green were established as Christmas’ colors?

Nice! Thanks for the recommendation, I love having alternatives in case anything unexpectedly goes down.

There’s a good one for Amazon called Keepa that shows you the price history of the item. Helps a ton keeping prices in check during sales like Prime Day to see how much you are actually saving, if anything.

Also nice to see how much you could potentially save if you just wait for the next sale or if there was already a price decrease. Often times it looks like I’m good buying without waiting for any sale as the sales only knocked off a few dollars, at most.

If everyone does this, it eventually won’t work since once you opt out of most of these, they require you to manually opt back in before sending you more texts. Also, many of those automated SMS messages don’t recognize VoIP as valid to receive SMS which is probably what most of these call centers are using. I encounter that issue with my Google Voice number not being recognized because I try to use it for spam like this and often am told that it’s not a valid phone number.

I got that too until I backed out and came back in.

I know Netflix has/had this if you video recorded. I thought I found a great way to download shows/movies until it was just a black screen.

Same here. I had one of these bozos reach out to me and wouldn’t give me an exact price but said he bought a “similar” home nearby for $120k.

Nah…fuck off. I paid more than double of that for my house.

I really wish I could get my fucking phone number removed from wherever it is that these scumbags pull from because their “offers” are nowhere near reasonable and just a waste of everyone’s time.

Oh really? I didn’t know that was a thing.

So you tell Siri “Use ChatGPT” and then it switches over?

I had asked Siri what it could do after the update and didn’t get much information on what new features there were or how to access them.

I really don’t get the advantage. It just feels like Siri with less.

My ex’s last name was pronounced worse after the upgrade too. It used to enunciate the T in the last name and then after spoke it like there was no T. Always bothered me when I would ask Siri to make a call to her.

It looks pretty? But beyond that, I’m not feeling any advantages like what ChatGPT or Copilot have.
