A photographic memory means you can recall a perfect visual image in your mind of a past event and examine it for details as if it were a picture. So, for example, if you are trying to remember a book quote, you’d bring up a visualization of the page of the book that you read and read the words on the page again.

I’m officially sick of this so-called AI. There’s nothing intelligent about it, it’s simply functionality modifying programs spewing recursive bullshit written by other AIs (or possibly by itself) that were all trained on stolen human work once upon a time, but are now just gibberish.

I didn’t hit one.

I think people are starting to catch on to that. Maybe I’m overly optimistic though.

AirBNB pays taxes too. They don’t circumvent the system in Barcelona, that was fixed a long time ago. Now they just displace locals because the nightly rate is higher than the monthly rate. Even if it’s empty most of the time. Which is a real shame.

It’s going to hurt small time renters. I stayed in an AirBNB in 2013, it was rented out by a lovely family. It was a fantastic experience, staying in a nice neighborhood off the beaten path. We stayed for a few months, too, and we were respectful, not puking all over the place etc. A lot of locals invested in furnishing rentals for AirBNB. At least, that was the scene 9 years ago. No idea what it’s like now.

This is gross on every level.

It’s real. They can taste the difference.

If you swim across a river, it is now a river you’ve swum. If you sneak into a room, you have snuck in.

Those are correct but they look and sound wrong.

People in the US do land acknowledgments. I don’t think the indigenous really care one way or another. It’s still stolen land, an acknowledgment isn’t giving it back.
