what's easier? Convincing everyone you know to download signal or whatsapp or matrix or whatever or ~~having that built into the text app~~ [convincing everyone to buy the same phone].

FTFY

When presented this way, the choice is very different.

Hour vs. hour it's the best form of transportation

You get more space, there's no TSA, you don't get charged for bringing luggage, you can carry on liquids, you get leg room, the wifi is decent.

But if I'm traveling a really far distance... For example, if I'm going from California to New York I'd rather go by plane. Going by train for that seems to be pretty horrible. America is in desperate need of a ground transportation that can get from California to New York quickly.

Warnings probably work better on products you're putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can't imagine choosing to smoke.

On social media, you basically have to destroy my experience for me to stop using it in the same way. All effective options are terrible: ads, microtransactions, auto-playing unexpected sounds, nonresponsive interfaces.

Humans are as smart as they ever were. Tech is getting better. I know someone who was tricked by those deepfake Kelly Clarkson weight loss gummy ads. It looks super fake to me, but it's good enough to trick some people.

Yes, I differentiate because I think Scarlett sounds less like her character from that movie in real life.

It sounds somewhat like her character from the movie Her to me, but based on the standards set by the entertainment industry it seems reasonable for her to lose the lawsuit. If you can't hire an actor for a role, you can get a voice actor to do a similar voice. This is done often in animation.

Crispin Glover's lawsuit against Back to the Future 2 could have set a precedent for image likeness, but he ended up settling, so it seems the industry is just avoiding this problem instead.

Doesn't seem staged. The demo was imperfect in very normal ways. One imperfection was when it was referencing an old picture that he had earlier sent to the program.

I'd be more convinced it was staged if everything were perfect.

Is it Missi Pyle's husband Casey Anderson?

The picture's not too clear, but I bet there aren't a lot of famous people that are best friends with a bear.

If your list is too long you should care even more in the event that something bad happens.

Watching the video seems better than reading an article since you get to hear from the patient. It's in the article, but they posted a Twitter video link.

Synchron has a similar technology and their death count appears to be lower than Neuralink's in animal trials. Unfortunately, this article doesn't actually show the death rate of the trials.

In a non-Euclidean space you can have values of pi that aren't even constant. The first that came to mind was the surface of a sphere. This is actually an interesting problem.
