I’m not attributing directly, more pointing out odd timing and then, again, just perplexed how anyone would take offense to someone pointing out the odd timing for a game that was seemingly not otherwise allowed for decades?

Appreciate that, so what has changed that allows this now where it did not in the past? Genuinely curious.

Also, to those that are downvoting this comment - what a weird comment to down vote? Was a legitimate question. Are you neo Nazis yourselves? Who would be offended by that comment?

Changing the law as their neo nazi party rises in elections ?

Sure , I can definitely see some of those frustrations. I focus more on bigger picture though I think and empathize with the creator’s need to still be successful educating people in these fraught times. They have been doing intensive, high quality work for so long now, before the predatory slop era. But they have to exist in it, and know that they are a very plaugerized format through AI theft.

Their magic has always been making complex concepts approachable to the masses, and that is such a vital public service we all benefit from. Those lowest common denominator folks are increasingly lost to chaos though and there just isn’t a “right way” of how you adjust. So I look beyond the “wrapping” you mention and I feel that generally the content itself is still intact, powerful and very well made.

So basically, the click bait headlines/thumbs just aren’t for us, and they are indirectly asking us to understand that without them broadly giving away the strategy. Those tactics just get the kids with broken brains in the room and then maybe they can start to heal or be saved from the edge. Hope you can consider that.

What do you mean?

Could? You mean “are actively”

“AI” isn’t a thing. Computer vision, machine learning, natural language processing and neural networks are. These can all be useful tools when regulated and maintained with active oversight to balance with society’s other core priorities. What’s at question is the current method and human cost for this frivolously hyped, deceptively marketed lying machine with a single tangible use to date, being the operating system for Facebook’s pervert glasses. You didn’t read, of missed the entire point of, this important article, shared from an important contemporary mind.

Name and cite SPECIFIC examples of anything you claim.

P.s. you don’t “cure cancer”… cancer is a broad heading for hundreds of unique types of disease, presenting in different, completely unique systems within the human body. Like AI, “a cure for cancer” is a broad generalization of complex underlying systems that ignorant people make frivolously - People who think they HAVE the entire knowledge of the world in their brains, when they actually only have a plastic rectangle in their pants pocket with privilege-gated access to a (mostly corporate) CURATED VERSION of the world’s historic knowledge. So if you’ve “cured cancer” friend, why aren’t you treating the 20-30k humans that will die from a form or cancer today worldwide?

Super cool! Well we can base your personal healthcare on AI’s sole guidance and if you are misdiagnosed, injured or dead as a result of an “oopsie”, no human will be held legally liable - fun!

So no real stakes for anyone to get it right, as with human-led interventions (with careers on the line at every stage to keep people engaged and honest). But corporations will probably just naturally do the right thing.

But you’re brave, you offer yourself as tribute to the lying machine. Tight tight tight!!!

Trust me, bro!

They are real people these friends of mine, but you don’t know them, because they are from a different school. And you won’t see them this summer at all because… they are both actually models in Canada during the summer.

But totally cured and now they get boners also with THIS ONE TRICK that doctors HATE it!!!

…It’sKilling the Company

Wow, so Microsoft has zero profit this year, huh? How the mighty have fallen.

Don’t forget random panels popping off during operation. Cringey “skins” applied to functional parts with shiity adhesive instead of bolts/rivets (e.g. the gas pedal cover that would fall off and jam the accelerator on), bricked by car wash unless deliberately triggering “car wash mode”, hidden or no emergency release for door locks sealing people into burning/submerged vehicles, truck that can’t tow, bed that can’t fit common items like a bike or dimensional lumber, perpetually ugly rust/hand oil stained panels, no magic unbreakable panels/glass, less range delivered than advertised, multiple features disabled by snow, improper safety sensors to detect occlusions leading to the finger chop/pinch incidents, cheap vibrating interior and fake auto pilot that constantly tries to kill passengers and pedestrians. And of course giving car makers cover to follow the dangerous, shitty tablet based Interior and attempt to end physical, no-look controls in moving motor vehicles.

And that’s just top of mind from inside this hellish firehose to the face of disappointing information that we live in everyday.

At least those 63 actual humans that purchased one clearly identify as the worst people in their communities with these malfunctioning $100,000 vape pens on wheels.

Interesting.

You shouldn’t have to defend this, it was clear.

“First, the people who work at Patreon are special, beautiful humans, through and through.”

Second… Fuck those worthless humans, we want endless growth until we die sad and still unfulfilled.

Pamplemoose guy, you suck.

Wow! How lucky are we?!! This also happens to coincide with Apple raising chocolate rations from 10 to 8!!!

Wikwok is one of them

I think there is also one just called wikitok, can look later

Start by asking yourself honestly if you need an Instagram replacement or if you really just need a substitute to replace the dopamine you get from a behavior - meaning basically, you probably just want a new infinite scroll for when you feel bored, restless or awkward and need a diversion.

If that’s the case, look at some of the stumbleupon clones or maybe the wiktok kind of tik tok style wrapper for wikipedia type apps. But if you truly need Instagram specifically, the good news is that pixelfed is mostly there, hard part is that you now need to convince many to come use it for it to “feel” full and fun
