It's probably just a normal button that is hardcoded to run a specific AI software that is installed on your system (as it is indicated by "Launches AI Prompt Builder"). Just a guess. There is no need for a dedicated button, as any extra button could be configured to do the same.

Only people with an artificial brain will fall for this.

@thingsiplay@beehaw.org avatar

Fair point. There are lot of morons who should be replaced. But we are talking about freelancers, not about SEO or content marketing, more like content filling. But it got worse since AI rise up.

thingsiplay , to Technology in He has cancer — so he made an AI version of himself for his wife after he dies
@thingsiplay@beehaw.org avatar

People who can't get over someone losing will sorrow for the rest of the life, or until they get over it. And AI won't help to get over it. Death is part of our life and as soon as you don't accept it, it becomes pain.

It's last year I think when I read someone created the lost son (or some other family member, I forgot) of a mother, in a VR environment. And she could see him/her again in the VR. Absolutely madness! What does this do to the person? Now couple that with an AI... man the future is grim...

So it hurts long after his death.

thingsiplay , to Technology in Firefox Browser Blocks Anti-Censorship Add-Ons at Russia’s Request
@thingsiplay@beehaw.org avatar

The censorship is not a decision by Mozilla, its a government decision.

@thingsiplay@beehaw.org avatar

If something is illegal in a country, then it should be blocked for that country. It's not Mozillas decision what a government allows and not. It would be different problem if the extensions were blocked worldwide, but its not. It's only blocked where its illegal.

But, that above statement by me is about laws. I'm not so sure how to feel about government requests, if its not even against the law. Is there any law in Russia that forbids those extensions? If not, then I'm with you and this is bad. But if there are laws in place and the government asks to block them because of the law, then it's totally fine.

thingsiplay OP , to Free and Open Source Software in Question: yt-dlp does anyone know how to increase retries for SponsorBlock? [Solved]
@thingsiplay@beehaw.org avatar

Just tried and that's it! I tried a few options before, not sure if I overlooked this or misunderstood. But setting --extractor-retries 2 for testing does indeed only try 2 times. Thank you.

It's a bit too early and premature. There needs to be an alternative to fax first.

thingsiplay , to Programming in Why is predictive text so hard to disable?
@thingsiplay@beehaw.org avatar

I think predictive text predates even Android and smartphones (but not exactly), when we had to press a key 3 times until specific characters appeared; called T9 and just a dictionary. Having or not having a dictionary suggestion was the difference between life and death. Now the modern smartphone has way more compute power and resources, therefore they can analyze text in more depth. It's just the logical next step to the plain and simple dictionary.
