Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?"
Money wins, every time. They’re not concerned with accidentally destroying humanity with an out-of-control and dangerous AI who has decided “humans are the problem.” (I mean, that’s a little sci-fi anyway, an AGI couldn’t “infect” the entire internet as it currently exists.)...

How does Spotube get it's audio from YouTube/Piped?
I started using Spotube a few days ago and it seems interesting but I’m having a specific issue with it. I’m trying to listen to “Darkish” by A-One but despite the fact that there are multiple videos on YouTube, Spotube can’t find a source and if I try manually searching for a source, all of the videos, including...
Is there such a thing as a privacy-respecting secret Santa platform?
I’ve been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to...

Are police radar detectors in a car worth it?
I’m planning to go on a long trip around the country where speed limits are ridiculously low, even on highways, and that’s all the road police care about (even the slightest of speed-limit infringements) and was wondering if a radar/speeding-camera detector would be worth it....

For Leftists: What happens when a content creator has a questionable guest on?
Hi. This question is for leftists mostly. If you watch a content creator that’s on the left, but they have a questionable guest on, do you continue to watch that creator or do you find a different creator to watch? I sometimes watch The Convo Couch and Danny Haiphong, but they’ve had very questionable guests on and I can’t...
