Some screenshare software has a setting you need to toggle to then have the mouse show. I would look into your screen share settings and check for a toggle like that,

I use it all the time when walking a track. Pretty good app, and it lets my brain not worry about losig track and wondering if I really did walk around the desired amount of times.

I do believe there are biases in memes, that wasn't what I was getting at, rather I was more so talking about how the news has a narrow path bias, usually as simple as the left vs the right. While with memes it's more so talking about what is happening now, a specific topic, a specific cause, an event. And ones standpoint or perspective of just that specific event in the meme. again, my point is meme is not just informational but it's also news, cultural, social and at the very moment sometimes even at the minute/second.

To an extent though I do think that the news can have more in depth coverage. I think memes are good for global events but the more in depth or specific (local news for instance) news can be better since It is leaning more so on the information side.

Memes however, can keep you informed to an extent while not falling behind culture, and sociaty epectation Memes go deeper on the social and culture while reporting news. Which news does leave out or ignore, in preference of the narrow political path..

True, like i'l still search for specific context such as the history of a law or amendments to said law.

What I like about memes is that they have a potential of telling you the news but also they dive deeper into different perspectives of different subjects. Some memes will even meme recent events that the news would tell you. But memes seems to have the added culture to it.

good point. However the news is also proned to manipulation. Going into anything you should know that there could be some amount of manipulation. Which is why it might be beneficial to follow more meme sources.

 

I was thinking about this for sometime and some might wonder why someone might think that memes are better at delivering the news so I set up this comaprasion between the memes and the news.

What the news does.

a. Generally it tells you what's happening: b. encourages you follow a narrow #political "side" c. Might make you short sided, and falling behind with the community and society trends at large. You'l likely not be the most social person because you'll be angry with people more often then if you just consumed memes instead from different perspectives, d. news clips, videos, #podcasts, #newpaper articles, can take from minutes to hours just to began to scratch what is happening, and what the news agencies takes are.

memes

a. memes tell you what's happening, it gives you an insight to #culture and #society trends in different perspectives, b. Memes don't ask you to pick any side in itself, but they might encourages you to follow memes related to #topics you are interested in. Or #advocacy #movements you stand for. c. Memes are quick to consume and give you so much information in seconds to minutes when #scrolling through memes in a #socialmedia feed

This is such an interesting perspective on memes want to hear comments from anyone on their thoughts on this.

By telling them lies just to complete some experiments

To an extent. memes allow you to go back to this since memes are user generated and cheap to make their isn't much stopping users from "going back" to a less minimalist time on those memes. I do have to say though that I think there a number of reasons as to why companies are more into minalism these days.

  1. Physical media is less prevalent, everything is happening online now, and so they might just be keeping in theme with modern web/app design.

  2. open source software is more prevalent and because of this, why would companies innovate at all if the interfaces are available to them for free.

  3. apple does it, and everyone has to follow apple. it's the trend in business.

There are going to be ai's that tell users to kill themselves or not to. Depending on how well they are trained or set up by the creator and how the user is acting towards the ai. It's not just one factor all those factors are linked to how the ai will respond so i'm not particularly victim blaming.

I do have to ask why you bring up a news anchors fetish when we're talking about the potential of an ai chat bot helping someone with suicidal issues. It really just sounds like you have a bias against ai and aren't taking into account the potential of preventing suicide for a person when they have no one they feel comfortable to talk to.

However it is important to know the context of these cases. Ai character creators are able to make ai characters (on platforms like character ai) and are able to direct the behavior of the ai to how they would want. Now Gemini and grok on the other hand, ai's like that where no one knows where Google or Musk are guiding them i'l acknowledge might not be as trustworthy because on character ai the user knows up front how the ai is intended to behave by the creator. If the user want to make a modification to the ai's behavior or vibe they can literally just tell the ai character how they want the ai to behave and it will adapt. So ai does certainly have the potential help people with their tramas through conversation.

I think ai can be usefull in cases like this. Especially in a case where a person who is literally about to commit the suicide. Ai might not be 100% accurate but if it can prevent someone from taking their life by offering some support, that is a positive thing.

This actually was attempted before, isps were trying to prevent states from passing their own net neutrality laws.
