A bunch of posts? I wrote a conversation provoking comment that was upvoted far more than downvoted, and spurred other comments.

it was removed because the mod has an anti-democratic agenda that they can’t defend. Instead they just remove comments and ban people. It’s shitty behavior by a shitty mod, and deserves to be called out. I’ve seen 2 other threads talking about this exact behavior.

Funny, I just had a thread going about the same thing happening in the “LateStageCapitalism” instance……

u/godlesscommie, where are you? Gonna come onto this thread to bitch and moan as well?

Just finished reading Neal Stephenson’s “Diamond Age,” which is kind of a sequel to “Snow Crash,” (both are great books, I recommend them).

In it, there’s a sophisticated kind of AI book that’s used to teach children, and the stories are read aloud. But, they don’t have the AI read the stories, specifically because the children can tell when it’s automated, and won’t listen, so they have to use voice actors specifically for it, that are kept on payroll (in a manner of speaking).

I used to think that AI could never replicate videos to a realistic degree but, uh, here we are. I wonder how long until it can read something aloud and pass as human.
