If you want to streamline plex then make your stupid online services opt-in instead of forcing them down your customers throats.

They are both perpetual victims and the strongest kid on the playground at the same time.

It’s almost like she was a prosecutor who is used to handling all kinds of dark characters.

That’s Jill’s policy. And of course whatever Putin wants.

Until they make electric vehicles that need as much maintenance and repairs as ICEs car dealers will of course oppose them.

Just fyi, the sedation is usually not medically necessary. I have had it (as well as a colonoscopy) done without, just got a spray to numb the throat for a short while. It’s not pleasant, but I found it bearable and it’s much nicer to just walk out and drive home on your own. If necessary I could still have told/signaled that I want sedation after all during the procedure. Propofol works within less than a minute. In that case they would have called someone to pick me up.

That said, I do live in Germany, so money does not play as big a role as in the US when it comes to healthcare. And the doctors and their staff were exceedingly nice and caring.

Maybe, if you believe you can bear it, and if acid reflux does not make it painful, ask to do it without sedation next time.

You have asked why there is so much hype around artifical intelligence.

There are a few reasons this might be the case:

  1. Because humans are curious. Experimenting with how humans believe memory and intelligence work might just lead them to find out something about their own intelligence.

  2. Because humans are stupid. Most do not have the slightest idea what „AI“ is this time, yet they are willing to believe in the most outlandish claims about it. Look up ELIZA. It fooled a lot of people, just like LLMs today.

  3. Because humans are greedy. And the prospect of replacing a lot of wage-earners, and not just manual laborers this time, with a machine is just too good to pass up for management. The potential savings are huge, if it works, so the willingness to spend money is also considerable.

In conclusion, there are many reasons for the hype around artificial intelligence and most of them relate to human deficiencies and human nature in general.

If you have further questions I am happy to help. Enjoy your experience with AI. While you still can. 🤖
