The consumers were stupid but “Brawno, it’s got what plants crave” was malicious. A drink company actively destroying what little agriculture the planet had left just to sell their drinks.

YouTube only sees revenue, and in fact are generating some of the AI themselves.

Probably gonna be tough. Airbnb.com has stated that 60% of their code is being generated with AI. Probably tons of other sites don’t publicly talk about it.

Generative AI didn’t make anything, it just retrieved indexed code that already existed.

They way I see it, computers are tools. They can just as easily be used for good as evil.

If people were going around smashing vehicles with hammers, we would (hopefully) work on better law enforcement than ban hammers. Same sort of thing with computers, we need standards and regulations.

Alternate headline: Money talks, allows immunity to traffic laws.

That’s good because I was ready to cancel Disney/Hulu if they kissed orange butt. They are my only paid streaming service now after canceling Prime and Netflix.

Yes, if a person of authority does something like this they should be removed from their position. Higher authority, higher responsibility, higher standards, they should all go together.

I have told the leaders of my county they were unwise to give our water supply to Amazon. The balance of wealth and power is staggeringly on the side of Amazon. They could buy and sell our entire county 100 times over but somehow our board of supervisors thinks we are going to get a fair deal? Idiots.

It’s been way more than 2 months since they started taking reservations. So yeah the majority are probably screwed.

He doesn’t realize shit for more than a few minutes at a time.

To me it means the hero might have done something notable or impressive but once you meet them in person you realize they are just people with the same faults and annoyances as everyone else.

It’s a future dream, but they will brute-force and fake it as much as they can for now.

They called themselves domestic terrorists as well. Basically whiny adult toddlers that wither under any questioning or scrutiny.

Yeah this is just them holding their hands out and saying “MONEY PWEEESE!”

1970s and 1980s in rural Virginia, most people didn’t lock their doors and kids ran around outside until dark. Our phone was a party line, meaning if I picked up the phone I might hear a nearby neighbor already on the line having a conversation, so I would just hang up until the line was free. We were comfortable but not wealthy. By the end of the 1970s and early 1980s we had a microwave and a VCR. Video rental stores were starting to be popular. Going out to eat at Pizza Hut was a big deal.

Mid/late 1980s and onward, technology started making a bigger difference. I got a Commodore 64 computer, we moved to a small town and got cable television and MTV, I got a modem for the Commodore 64 and started logging into BBS systems. Those two things definitely expanded my horizons a lot. In the early 1990s a year or two before the Internet got big I played one-on-one Doom with a guy from Norway via modem, that seemed like magic at the time.

1990s and onward more internet, more television, more corporations, more technology, it just got faster and faster. Once we had our magic pocket computers that did phone calls, email, text messages, navagation, etc everything has just been evolutions of that with more storage and faster processors.

Well I said and/or because a lot of con men consider themselves to be future billionaires.

It’s definitely different now that corpos have taken over. It will reach some critical mass where the average user has either been banned or finds it so unenjoyable to visit that they seek alternatives. That could take years though.

Actual headline: “Guns and bulletproof vests: How federal agents arrested Fauci aide / David Morens, 78, was stripped and handcuffed for email violations”

The ultra-rich can be very ignorant.
