As an Arab person myself (and not getting into the Palestine occupation debate). It's sad that a non-Arab speaking nation is creating LLMs to better understand Arabic but I am not aware of any Arab nation doing the same effort.

" will AI be a bicycle that we control, or an unstoppable train to destinations unknown? To put it in the same terms as the ad, will human will and initiative be flattened, or expanded?"

Interesting line of thinking here. I've never considered this but an observation from my usage of chat AIs at least is an increased willingness to defer my thought-organising process to the AI by just jotting down some random ideas and asking it to make it coherent. I guess on a personal level I'm flattening my own mind?

The first browser to index (locally preferably) my browsing history and help me extract/surface useful information from previous pages I have visited will win me over. So far they all seem to be offering the same kind of AI that will crawl the current page and extract information from it.

Another approach of becoming anonymous is to flood the internet with fake content and fake AI generated personas that hold your name

Can you state the price of the "packages" in the landing page?

Also, does it always give me 8 bullet points from each video? It would make sense for videos that have chapters to give summaries to each chapter instead.

an image of someone who's been massaged so much their body has been flattened, as if they were made of dough or jelly

do you want a realistic looking one? 3d rendered? what do you have in mind exactly?

New in Calibre 6.0 4 years ago

Calibre is awesome to use on desktop. But as someone who wants to sync his Calibre library with other devices (iphone + ipad), it gets really frustrating.

I understand this is all relative. I come from an African country but even there around 250 acres of both residential and agricultural land is significant money. I'd say only about 20 acres are left where the owners are one of the ancestors.

My dream is to one day repurchase some of the lands and have financially sounder children that could take care of it ;)

I don't know how to put this in a formula, but my observations about my family's wealth disappearing is the following:

Great grandpa had tons of land, dies and leaves it to his children who then left it to their children when they died to split as heritage (so my parent and uncles and their cousins) which they ended up selling and splitting it between around 60 heirs. They bought things that are not really an investment like cars, new furniture, vacations...So all the wealth from my great grandpa has vanished because his great children like to spend money rather than invest.

Edit: typo.

I could not easily find it on the website, but I remember reading about how they do it, basically the ID is generated by hashing the IP + user-agent + a salt key that is changing on a daily basis.

So, no, I do not think it is deterministic.

doesn't the GDPR protect against storing "Personally identifiable information"? Plausible does use the IP address for the visitor to create a unique visitor ID, but it does not store it, so I am not sure how can you use that information to link it to an individual.
