18/20 because after that you ought to be able to be a candy-giver. This whole thing only works if we have enough candy-givers, and too late of a cutoff age skews the balance.

Maybe people won’t pay money for it. Maybe they will. The problem isn’t that people may or may not pay money–it’s that you’ve placed your sense of worth in monetary value.
Read some existentialism, no joke. I don’t agree 100% but I read a bunch of Beuvoir over the weekend and one thing I did like was it made me internalize the idea that coming up with a project I care about and achieving it is worthwhile in and of itself regardless of if it “could” be done by someone/something else.
Think about it this way, there are mathematicians from 500 years ago who did a lot of stuff by hand for hours that I could work out with a calculator in seconds today. But does that mean all their work was worthless? If I create a fairly shitty drawing, but I’m proud of my having created it, am I wrong to be proud simply because my friend who is a great artist could make a better one in half the time?
It’s not just about the journey, but it’s not just about the destination either–its about the journey to the destination, and placing value only in one of those things will cause you to be at a loss for the rest of your life.

As a full stack cloud dev usually for me it ends up being some lag between when Azure claims a thing was updated and when it actually was.
(shout out to azure B2C custom policies for taking like 10 minutes to actually reflect changes despite giving me a lil green checkmark)
For easy indexing. Lots of influential literary works have this. There’s a universal standard indexing for both the works of Plato and Shakespeare, for example.
To be fair, Spotify’s recommendation system is the only algorithmic content feed that I feel actually gets me the kind of stuff I want rather than just exploiting my psyche, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Spotify’s AI integration is likewise the only of it’s kind that has real benefit.
It could also be completely useless, who knows 🤷
Why do you assume there is one?
Just decent quality content for various topics which aren’t politics or tech. For the good of increasing the size of Lemmy, I think everyone ought to find a couple things they’re interested in as hobbies and just dare to make content about them.
Lots of niche communities have the problem where no one posts because no one posts. At some point, you have to just pull the ripcord and start the darn thing, even if it takes a while.
It’s still good that they monitor and investigate stuff like this ahead of time. NASA, historically, has allowed for a ton of really cool practical advanced in technology to occur because of research they do on stuff like this, and I think it’s entirely worth it to work on this kind of stuff even if we never have to actually shoot it down.

Why do you think that? I do not see any connection between my comment and you conclusion here.
No. It quite literally means that you also cannot be discriminated against for that. In fact, the protections that make it illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals are the exact same protections that prevent discrimination because of your being straight, and if you were to repeal the former, the latter would be lost as well.
You have it, quite literally, entirely backwards.
Honestly the most optimistic thing that’s come out of this. A potential AGI singularity is still terrifying to me…but this does take the edge off a bit.
