Retarded Skynet. What could possibly go wrong.

(Sorry for the word choice)

Incite further right wing rage?

If the internet were a forest, Google opines the forest is in such poor shape while Google uses and sells chain saws.

I’ve swapped back and forth between brands since I built my first computer almost 30 years ago. It was intel forever until AMD showed up with their early Athlons, amazing CPUs for the price. Then Intel fought back with with their Core 2 Quads, AMD with Thunderbirds, back to intel with their higher i-series, up until about 2-3 years ago and now AMD’s Ryzen offering the better performance/$ again. It’s too bad intel seems to be unable to keep costs competitive and maintain quality. I’ve never had a CPU quit on me yet (knock on wood). Motherboards, RAM, PSUs, sure. I used to partial upgrade every 2 years or so, but the golden era of PC building is gone. The high prices of GPU’s alone really killed the momentum we had from say ‘05-‘15.

Google bribes trump, agrees to place pro-trump search results higher. Nothing happens to Google.

You can label it whatever you want. There are going to be API fees or development costs for AI, so whatever box they want to put it under.

But are the AI issues cheaper than the corporate infrastructure around hiring and paying employees and losing the occasional customer? If AI is more profitable, they don’t care. The only thing that’s mattered for decades now is what the bottom line says, no matter the cost.

Unfortunately the “anything” is limited by what the game allows. If “anything” isn’t what you find interesting, then you’re gonna drop the game pretty quick.

Hah. Same complaint I had about Elite:Dangerous. Lightyears wide, one inch deep. Gotta hand it to FDev, though, they really try to keep community goals happening.

Streisand effect.

Probably heard it once and thought it was cool or saw a couple of memes with it and now it’s his brain worm.

Yes. Quite a bit.

Is this the microwave power from space idea again? /wcgw…

Is one of those features not taking 2-3 minutes to start and removing the need for it to sync the entire email account over 5 - 10 minutes after loading? I like the program, but it’s clunky and slow. Couldn’t see paying for “pro” if that’s the finished product.

I’d it’s already saturated if we’re looking at high unemployment in the sector.

So does apple. But it only works for tags associated with the OS, such as Tile or AirTags. Not some random make.

Think of how many ads you see and hear. From pharmaceuticals to entertainment industry ads the amount of money poured into sales and marketing is absurd. If there’s any one massively under-accounted for scourge on modern society and finance it’s ad agencies consuming huge amounts of budget, bandwidth, and just being constantly in your face. Pharma alone spends ~$20Bn on ads.

There is no good solution. Daily life is littered with bluetooth, gps, and other devices, from watches to appliances to car stereos, many of which are not clearly named at all. You can Use a bluetooth scanner app like LightBlue to see what devices are around you as many of the trackers use bluetooth connections as well. Check for unfamiliar devices with strong signals if you park your car someplace away from others in a parking lot or something.

I don’t use reddit, but tbf roblox is what you make of it. My kids enjoy the heck out of it. There’s the same issues with most games - exploiting the users for profits with micro transactions or whatever and the dangers of lousy people in chat. The real issue is that Roblox has become a mecca for kids and that attracts more of the worst aspects I mentioned.

I hate to say it but parents gotta parent. Roblox offers decent parental controls. I employed them and relaxed them as my kids got older, and check in on what they’re playing. Problem is parents treat games like babysitters and then get upset when their sitter hiring policy is leaving the front door open and let anybody walk in.

One of the rare birds you kinda got to let slide with his wealth. To the best of my knowledge he hasn’t used that wealth to abuse people.
