Ok this ~~is~~ seems like a problem of trademark not copyright, or impersonation and fraud by pretending to be him. It's about his name, not really about his voice. His voice is also pretty generic EDIT: it's only in this specific market segment that it's problematic.

Not just tech, all over the product spectrum. They started by selling books.
A large problem is payment system and accounts. I hate going to a new shop and create a new account, a new password, bla bla bla. I hate it. And wiring with online banking is still a pain the ass, you have to enter some password into your shitty phone keyboard and then wait for an SMS... paypal and amazon payment make shopping convenient.
So part of the problem is banks who have been sleeping on the job for decades. At least here in Europe. You finally can wire money so it arrives immediately from your bank account at a shop! (without having to waste some tax on a payment provider either). But 2 factor authentication is still a pita. Where is my online bank with easy to use FIDO2?
There are now alternative popping up because amazon has become so enshittified (high prices for many smaller items and reviews etc). And of course I'm a fan of aliexpress but shipping from China is stupid too.
We definitely need to avoid a monopoly by a corporation like amazon.
"his target was the hypocrisy of suburban life"
Oh, it's in the definition! It's suburban life that made the claim!
There doesn't have to be a hypocrite for hypocrisy to exist. Maybe it was spontaneously formed by a preponderance of misinformation and dumbassery?
The way I would classify it is if you could somehow extract the "creative writing center" from a human brain, you'd have something comparable to to a LLM. But they lack all the other bits, and reason and learning and memory, or badly imitate them.
If you were to combine multiple AI algorithms similar in power to LLM but designed to do math, logic and reason, and then add some kind of memory, you probably get much further towards AGI. I do not believe we're as far from this as people want to believe, and think that sentience is on a scale.
But it would still not be anchored to reality without some control over a camera and the ability to see and experience reality for itself. Even then it wouldn't understand empathy as anything but an abstract concept.
My guess is that eventually we'll create a kind of "AGI compiler" with a prompt to describe what kind of mind you want to create, and the AI compiler generates it. A kind of "nursing AI". Hopefully it's not about profit, but a prompt about it learning to be friends with humans and genuinely enjoy their company and love us.
Of course not, the Israel lobby would get her before Biden and the democrats could shake themselves out of absolutely flabbergasted horror.
But that just makes the hypocrisy more delicious. Nobody can take the USA seriously any more.
Still interesting. zstandard using pretrained dictionaries (zstd --train). Previously they used zlib.
Does anybody know if you can pretrain dictionaries for 7zip for large ebook libraries? Or any better compression library for text?
Biden is Harris’ boss.
Exactly! Jill Stein only presumably works for Putin the war criminal, and if so in a far less stringent capacity, compared to Harris who definitely absolutely works for Biden the war criminal.
Absolutely a far worse situation! :D
Because they still want to support embedded video you can still watch using apps from your own IP or download using yt-dlp
Thanks for the numbers, state owned share is a really good sign.
On the other hand, the primary goal of the state owned enterprise is to provide social value.
Interesting. I guess even if that wasn't the goal, the money sort of "has to" actually trickle down. Like even if functionaries siphon off some wealth or it's spend on stupid project, most of it lands in a pot where it can only be used for... investments or useful things. Even if their goals were nationalistic instead of socialistic. It has nowhere else to go and can't go off to foreign investors or into some tax haven or just be used for speculative financial games. Or use it to undermine democracy by buying news and social media.
I guess the motivation for functionaries is also different. For plutocrats the "game" is to gain ever more capital and beat the competition and reach a high score. And they fear loosing everything. So even if the state capitalist's goal was to "create profit through appropriation of the value the labor of the workers creates" they ultimately have to do something useful with it then. Of course it would be in their interest to use it to secure the power of their government.
And then amazon, a book seller, bought IMDB and eventually burned down the discussion section - which contained so much "secondary literature" about films. I'll never forgive them for that.
