I only got four hours of sleep last night, and it’s miserable after only one night.

I don’t have a link, but I am sure I saw it on the news in the early or mid 90s. But one thing I have learned recently is that many of the “news” articles about cars are invented stories planted by other car companies.
Like one recent thing you’d have seen is stories about electric cars catching fire. It seemed that every time any electric car caught fire, it was national news, but non-electric cars catch fire frequently, as well.
So anyways, long story… less long, the story I’m remembering might have been fake, as well.


I remember when cruise control first became widespread for cars. Most people didn’t use it or barely used it. Some people, like me, did a lot of testing and figured out the best ways to use it, and ended up using it more than most. But then, there were people who just assumed it would work perfectly like they imagined, and used it as if it was a full-self-driving car, which immediately had bad results.
I think the worst thing about AI is that it lures people into fully trusting it, and they don’t even realize that their cruise control car is heading off-road towards a cliff. AI can be a useful tool if you know what you’re doing, but it is such a bad idea to have it on by default. Even a lot of fairly experienced users are tricked by AI. The average person doesn’t have a chance. It’s irresponsible to expose them to it.


This is perfect for my use case. I mostly think AI results are a waste of energy, but having them on demand can be useful.


I’m going to say something spicy here, but for me personally, I’ve found DuckDuckGo’s AI search summaries to be quite useful. Not for the actual AI summary text, but for the links they give, which are often better than the normal search results.
That being said, I could easily do without them.


If you watch to the end you’ll see a guy who learned to murder a POW in cold blood, though.


The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy defines
the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporationyoung founders as "a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes,”


Maybe the rest is porn.
As you say, tools are just tools. Even a dumb phone and CD players are “technology.” You can use a hammer to build a house, or you can use it to break into a house and kill the owner. The tool itself really doesn’t hold any sin.
Some people prefer to use older tools, though. It often gives them more of a feeling of connection, especially if we’re talking about the things they grew up with. So, there’s nothing wrong with choosing older technology just because you feel like it, either.

It’s really telling that he has so much money that he can do pretty much whatever he wants for the rest of his life, and he chooses to publicly shit on the poorest people in the world.
Like, he could alternatively choose to say nothing, and just quietly ruin everything behind the scenes while impregnating as many women as he is capable of, but that doesn’t work for him.
100% agreed. A Reddit clone with Reddit amounts of users will end up almost as bad as Reddit. The thing that makes Reddit worse in that situation is that they are a public company.
This platform would have to evolve a lot before it can deal with so many users. There has to be some significant innovation and improvement in moderation and administration, or more users would inevitably lead to endemic misinformation and power tripping and all of that shit you see on Reddit.


In the US, the reason corporations hire lobbyists is that it has a ROI that is bigger than most of their main businesses.
And that return comes from tax revenue. So it is much more expensive for us to allow lobbyists.
That “expertise” angle used to make some sense, before we created long distance communication. But today, politicians have staff, and the staff have access to the internet and telephones. If they need an expert, they can just call one.
Again, it would be much cheaper to hire researchers for politicians than to allow lobbying to continue.
I see no reason why anyone who isn’t a constituent should have easy access to a politician.
The sad thing is that people don’t even argue points. I wish people who lacked knowledge and wisdom would argue. Instead, they just rebroadcast whatever propaganda they were fed most recently, untroubled by anything like critical thinking or introspection, and mostly unchallenged by their peers.
I suspect that the louder a person talks, the more likely they are clueless about the topic.


Just because they’re man-made distinctions doesn’t mean that they cannot be discussed or don’t have beginnings.


What’s not funny is that Elon Musk is CEO of a space travel company and what you’re describing he’s doing is almost the same thing that caused HAL 9000 to go insane in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
That’s the real reason they kept losing their extremities.


Also, it goes without saying that tons of competent people work at Microsoft, despite OP saying exactly the opposite.
He seems like the sort whose pee and poo just goes straight into a collection bag of some sort.
