[inerttiia]

the advertisements are going crazy recently, timestamps are a gift from god

[renReee]

Ellis always coming in clutch with the slam dunk on topics regarding ethics or responsibility

[thefourthfry]

the way ellis raised his mug as he said its time to recognise the bean XDXDXD

[julesm]

Ellis singing “BBL DRIZZY” at 51:32 😂😂😂

[danieltrias]

As a father of 2 who's always sick and tired (and current 2xing it with covid), I REALLY appreciate this little reprieve that is the WVFRM Podcast. Thanks guys.

Ellis's comments at 52:06 hit the nail on the head. "A trillion-dollar company… can drastically alter the entire environment in which we create." The titans of industry want us to think we live in a vacuum where there's no difference between an AI or a human creating something, because it benefits them to do so. There has been a very long and consistent effort to reframe the terms in which all kinds of labour exists, not just art, and this is exactly how we've ended up with garment sweatshops, migrant farm workers, dirty mines (coal in the last century, rare earth minerals in this one), etc. Creative fields really are one of the last realms where the actual human expression of the person making the thing matters, but AI companies are trying to sell us on the idea that it shouldn't.

Formally requesting a 2 minute Ellis rant every episode

[austinlburke]

I feel like a lot of the difference between our reaction behind "human-made" and "AI-made" is the context behind the song or art. If a human makes an emotional song, we read into the lyrics and emotion and begin imagining a history of what that person went through which we can try to relate to. When we discover an AI made it, we understand that there is no overarching context for us to relate to or imagine.

Listening to that large segment and then going straight to a Meta AI advertisement is wild

[schizophrenic-dev]

We need a special episode tomorrow about Microsoft and Crowdstrike, this is huge!

The Cr-48 was intended for testing only, not retail sales. The Cr-48's hardware design broke convention by replacing certain keys with shortcut keys, such as the function keys, and replacing the caps lock key with a dedicated search key

[johnplayeren]

The Chromebook CR-48 was a prototype. I don't think it was ever commercially available

[avartani]

The "GYATT" at 1:23:31 needs to be on the soundboard

[qill.mp]

Get Ellis screaming "ALLEGEDLY!!!" On the sound board.

Technically the CR-48 was not a consumer device as it was not sold anywhere. It was distributed free to developers and fans who then sold them in a second hand market.

[arbeen]

Ellis is a good example of "tell me you're smart without telling me you're smart." How he makes what I think are complex ideas so easily understandable is 💯.
