Evaluations of everything is crazy. Net worth of celebrities with make up lines in particular is crazy. Look how many celebs are worth a billion dollars. To be worth that much, they should be selling at least $50 millions a year of product with no prediction of winding down.
All those tech CEOs met up with Trump makes me think this is a major reason for pouring money in to this technology. Any time Trump says “fake news”, he can just say it is AI.
Also if you are sending my family a copy, send it to my email address too. Thanks.
Maybe the AI doomers are right.
From the article:
In fact, the company has just begun field testing one application at partner Mazda’s Hiroshima plant.
I wanted to see what their partnership was like so I checked on Wikipedia:
In the past and present, Mazda has been engaged in alliances with other automakers. From 1974 until the late 2000s, Ford was a major shareholder of Mazda. Other partnerships include Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, Suzuki and Kia.
Wow. I didn’t really expect Mazda to be involved with 6 other car manufacturers.
I delete my first comment because I specified what I meant in my reply.
If you don’t think doomers existed after the year 2000 then look up “2000 anxiety” and “2000 paranoia”.
But if I was really going to double down this would by my response:
Many countries invested little to no money in Y2K and they were fine.
Countries such as South Korea, Italy, and Russia invested little to nothing in Y2K remediation,yet had the same negligible Y2K problems as countries that spent enormous sums of money. Western countries anticipated such severe problems in Russia that many issued travel advisories and evacuated non-essential staff.
International Data Corporation estimated that the US might have wasted $40 billion.
Then I would ask you:
Since you are such an expert on Y2K, what would’ve happened if the US took the same approach? What exactly would have happened?
Thank you for the info. The 70’s is what I thought.
I should’ve specified. Even after there were a a ton of work put in, doomers existed to the last second. There were doomers who really thought the world was going to end without mentioning the technology aspect of it. These doomers, even after the date passed kept moving up the date and repeated this process.

I guess so. This is from the article:
Their political project uses the aesthetic of the past to sell a future where minorities are marginalized, women have no political power, and white guys are in charge. That’s how they think it all worked in the past and they’d love for it to happen again.
What the videos don’t show is how bad racism was before everyone is able to record at anytime. Shows and movies were very streotypical. Actually since cancel culture wasn’t a thing for not famous people, people were really racists in just everyday conversations.
The government’s war on immigrants is very much like the war on drugs with were specifically created to target hippies and black communities while at the same time suppying the communities with the drugs they deemed illegal.
In terms of the environment, lead was banned in gasoline in 1996. I thought it was way earlier than that when I looked it up. Shame really. I am no a scientists and the results of microplastics in our system is still being researched but lead poisoning effects are very well documented and I believe the pernament mental effects of it can be seen in a large portion of the boomer population.
Imagine Senate passes a law to put cameras in all toilet motion sensor. People still go, “If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about. Genital recognition technology is used to identify criminals! Do you want criminals to get away?!”
Privacy matters.
The government and corporations abused this information by stopping protestors getting to their destination.
Protestors can atleast use faraday bags or just leave their phones at home. Now they can’t even get to important events.
Now this information is being used by ICE to arrest immigrants.
Considering how conservative views and Nazis are coming back in to fashion, this is very scary for anyone not white and male.
I also admire these people.
They will get fired. Same thing happened at Google. But I hope that isn’t the case.
Microsoft has invested a ton of money in Israel. If in the unlikely event that they are able to be convinced to leave Israel, that would be huge.
I wonder what big trial was coming up that involved one of those videos? 🤔
I should really keep up with Windows news even if I don’t use it.
Thank you for the info and thank you for posting.
That’s a good point. Beta users save a lot, I mean a lot, of headaches for stable users. I am not sure if Windows even does beta and alpha versions anymore.
It’s scarier. They will track everything you are doing not and not have to guess what device you are using behind a shared IP address.
21 states have laws for age verification on porn sites. 4 more states are in the process of passing laws for age verification. That’s nearly half the states…
