Do digital store fronts play-through all the games, expansions, and DLC they list on their stores? This doesn’t seem practical.

Slavish devotion to Musk? Utilitarian ethics? Grock is just the average reddit user in 2013.

You’re talking about several different technologies when you say “fireworks”. You need a powder that’s safe to handle, a barrel that’s strong enough to contain the explosion, an ignition system, and a projectile that does some kind of damage.

So, if the AI bubble pops, it’ll be a great time to build a PC

Any platform that’s advertising based is a propaganda outlet. Reddit’s function is to manipulate pubic opinion.

The oldest praying automaton we know of is from the 16th Century. This is basically that but with more capitalism.

I can’t help but notice how captured the Christian mind is, when even the return of the Savior is a business opportunity; a revenue stream. These people are already robots who can’t worship without a prospectus and a spread sheet.

Yea, religion is made up and should be ignored. Just like currency, boarders, sovereignty, human rights, the concept of law, literature, art, and language itself. Brilliant.

“Heat death” is the popular name given to hypothesis that the Universe will continue to expand and cool until there is no light or energy left. Using the term for Earth burning up is going to confuse people.

The holocaust absolutely facilitated the creation of Israel. The Balfour declaration and Theodor Herzl are necessary, but not sufficient. In the aftermath of WWII and the Shoah, there was a need for mass Jewish migration. Meanwhile, “good” countries like the US and UK had strict immigration policies explicitly to exclude Jews. A ship full of Jews fleeing the Nazis in '39 were rejected by the US, Canada, and the UK. Eventually they were returned to Germany. (the embarrassment of this episode is why countries are supposed to give shelter to anyone fleeing persecution until the matter is adjudicated) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_St._Louis

And that’s the part of history that’s left out. Western Europe and N America were happy to resettle the Jews, anywhere else. Support of Israel by the West cannot be understood without acknowledging the massive amount of antisemitism in basically all of Western Civilization.

Training and culture is important, but one must remember that firefighters and EMTs do not have qualified immunity. Meaning that firefighters and EMTs can and do get sued for negligence and assault. They also have a “duty of care” while the pigs are not responsible to protect the public, enforce the law, or uphold court orders.

But with OpenAI, [Sam Altman] told me, “there’s something real happening here”.

This sentience strikes me because it’s a tacit admission that AI as it stands is way less valuable than people like Altman promised it would be. But trust me bro.

Onedrive is Microsoft’s attempt to make Home Windows users a revenue source by making it a subscription service. This has been SOP in smart phones for a decade now.

Not to mention that the prize itself was meant to whitewash the reputation of a war profiteer.

For heat pumps, the thing they’re moving is heat.

The phone was probably stolen from a protestor they were investigating and the bust was coincidental.

I had to switch to Linux because it wasn’t presented with any option besides Microsoft when I learned how to computer.

Trillions of dollars to develop a calculator that’s wrong sometimes.

Prepping is a fad popularized by the zombie movie wave of the 2000s.

99% of “societal collapse” scenarios are going to be like 1946 Germany or 1989 Soviet Union, not 28days later. And in the 1% scenarios, people who care about their loved ones should keep euthanasia supplies, not food and guns.

Journalism and activism work.
