He's someone I follow on here, often interesting, often disagreeable. But views I disagree with are often more valuable than those that confirm my priors. There, he seems to be indicating that he doesn't like to listen to conversations, even between interesting and knowledgable people. A silly take.

I've never listened to a podcast for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I don't have the patience to listen to people ramble on while I wait for them to talk about something I might be interested in. I'm not sure there's ever been a less efficient way to transmit information.

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

@stephlepp @avidseries Haha, I think you're just feeding a troll with this reply. That was a pure rage-bait post. OP obviously has no interest in changing silly view.

@avidseries Have you ever listened to a *narrative* podcast? You might enjoy some solid storytelling. Start with Reckonings episode #25 — the story of the architect of Facebook's business model — and take it from there: reckonings.show/episodes/25

This is wild. 143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history. Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots. Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget. Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard. The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

The company is now using that data to power visual navigation for delivery robots, letting them identify exact locations on city streets without relying on GPS. Source: NewsForce

@JebraFaushay It’s pretty funny, though I generally dislike comedy that’s based on an entirely phony and politicized premise

@jessesingal "I went in thinking I was going to watch a propaganda film and instead got a film with a creative plot about interesting characters directed buy a guy who does pretty much only that! How disappointing!"

Tl/dr: Thacker documents how the AP seems to be lying to suppress disclosure of peer-reviewed pregnancy risks from antidepressants. Follow the money, always.

Pro-gun rights and anti-gun rights people came together for dialogue. Here's an excellent account of what happened, with salient details about the real problem and potential solutions. hwfo.substack.com/p/after-action…
