This is interesting. Im not supremely well informed on these issues but I always assumed so called “AGI” would have emotions, or at least would be “Alive.” Is there a term for such a robot? Most fictional robots have intelligence and emotions to the point where we loop back around to it being unethical to exploit them.

I usually just have flings. But I’m still friends with some of them.

Patience. Im very stupid and I work a lot, so I dont always have time to spend with you.

I have been using yt.dlp with links generated through freetube. This is the first Ive heard of a desktop version for Grayjay Ill check it and consider a license.

My dad always leaned center-left, and he’s only gotten slightly lefter as I reach middle age and get very left. I’m very fortunate. My mom is long dead but I would like to think she would be on board too.

The real bugbear is my extended family, typified by dad’s sister and her family. Always leaned into the Rush Limbaugh right, but really she isn’t so much visibly MAGA as she is aggressively Zionist. It happens with a lot of Jewish boomers; Does ‘Never again’ mean for everyone, or just for the Jews?

Anyways, I was a protest at our local holocaust center in 2018, protesting the detention camps on the border. The proudboys and others were counter protesting. I told her about it, and she just said,

“They cant use that word, thats our word!” “You know who would agree with you? The nazis?” “What do you mean?” “They were there! I have pictures!”

Anyways, shes been surface level cordial ever since.

Most modern people don’t but I feel like that’s because there’s so much of it in everything. The latest episode of Tasting History goes deep on this.

Not counting sugar? garlic powder or Cinnamon and vanilla. I use garlic powder to go with salt and pepper in a 7:2:1 ratio as like a base for everything from tuna salad to bean burritos. Thrice a week I make overnight oats with Vanilla extract and cinnamon.

Note my favorite is smoked paprika, I just know fewer recipes and synergistic flavors.

DLP is pretty good and has a lot of non youtube utility. For those at home, I like Stacher7 for interfacing with yt.dlp without using a command line.

I found the easiest way to pirate music was to just grab stuff from youtube. Maybe in the future Freetube will have an option to download whole playlists, but in my middle age I am way less likely to download the whole album for “context.”
