  • Yep. Its one of those “um actually” things that at surface can make you seem annoying, but unfortunately the nuance is really important.

    In order to hallucinate it’d need to be capable of proper thought first.

    In the same way people ask of their software “why doesn’t it just work?!” Well… It actually DOES work. Its doing exactly as it’s been programmed to do.

    Whether the issue is because the dev didnt think of an angle you use it on, the QA didnt test it enough, or you yourself have a weird expectation, etc, it is doing exactly what it is only capable of doing in the situation that you see as “it isnt working right”.

    Its then on you, the human, to recognize that and proceed.

    This dissonance even happens from human to human conversation. “Oh i thought you meant this.”

    If you go to an agriculturist and start asking them about the culture of another country, they’d probably stop you to point out the issue. They could also just start giving you agriculture info and leave you confused. The nuance is important and what lets our biological brain computer figure it out where the metal brain needs to be specifically told to make sure they meant land agriculture.




  • Verymuchso indeed. Theres cameras on the BACK of our traffic lights at every corner in town too that arent on this list.

    But it helps navigating backroads/country and im not in a huge city so that’s good enough.

    I do wave at the residential houses as i dodge a camera at a corner street.

    So if theres 40k on this list for the US and apl this is missing, it’s at least double that number for sure.


  • Yep, and in the same way the inverse can ‘sometimes’ be true too.

    A “nice” $80 headset will outlive the cheap $20 one. And in a lot of cases it’ll also outlive that cutting edge $500 one that has features you dont need.

    So do your research, the inconvenience means it’s probably more worth it to figure out WHY a product is good and then shop for the things you learned instead of just letting amazons top 10 recommended headsets guide you.

    Being more informed about the things you spend your life-spent-turned-to-cash dollars on is always a good idea. Helps prevent buying slop too.
