So…let me get this straight. The “commons” here is the potential profit of AI. And the “tragedy” is that google isn’t hoarding it and open source folks that are doing all the innovation are content to not make massive profits from their work?

If thats what this means, then I hope whatever their plan is to gain power or control over new AI tech fails. I hope the folks working on open source AI can separate their work from Meta’s original work enough that Meta no longer has any claim to it.

You’re not wrong, but thats the kind of statement that leads people to doubt science. Scientists are definitely understanding more and more about how the world works. They are not becoming more and more uncertain. Its just that the more we understand, the more avenues for research we open up. We discover new unknowns to explore.

I know I’m restating what you said, but my family legit thinks that scientists all disagree with each other and aren’t sure about anything. And that mentality seems to be getting more common. Its not good.

Same. I hate google, but YouTube pays content creators better than any other platform. And I am 100% on board with any service where I pay a monthly cost instead of being inundated with ads.

It’s pretty eye opening to read this. As someone with a fairly high sex drive, I live every day with my body constantly demanding I have sex. It’s not a difficult urge to keep in check, but it is pretty constant.

I think the humor you’re talking about stems from that constant battle. No one (well someone, but not most people) would actually have sex with whatever inanimate object is being posted. Its just making light of that constant urge most of us face.

But I totally get how that could sound disgusting if you don’t share that experience. I will try to keep that in mind for the aces out there.
