  • AI audio tools have allowed me to restore audio that five years ago I would’ve said had to be re-recorded or is otherwise unsalvageable.

    AI transcription has been one of the greatest gifts to the disabilities community we have seen in decades. It is borderline as significant as screen readers for the visually impaired.

    Again, just because you don’t know about applications doesn’t mean there aren’t any. You need to stop speaking out of turd about things you don’t understand. Again, I say this as somebody who is harshly critical of LLM‘s and the theft that trains these systems. There are a lot of different forms and tools that this technology takes.





  • I mean really think about this strategically: if you’re the US and you want other countries to feel an economic squeeze because you think you can throw your weight around, you can’t do it in such a fragrantly aggressive/hostile way. You know why? Because capitalism fucking loves good marketing. If you can sell righteous indignation/support, you have a recipe for billions.

    The Canadian companies refusing to do business with American companies or refusing to sell their products aren’t just making a moral stand - they’re giving themselves an advantage. They are leveraging an opportunity to go “buy from us because the US is awful and we are Canadian and we’re awesome and not awful.”

    “Buying Canadian” is a moral and economically advantageous act. Ever wonder why every single hybrid car had” hybrid“ written on them in the 2000’s/2010’s? Pretty sure they still do to be honest.
