So much money is tied up in AI, that when it crashes you’re likely to end up poor, or worse, homeless, than being able to afford anything.

Enjoy! :D

Hey, I recognised that reference.

You mean pirated Photoshop, right? :D

… You mean pirated Photoshop… Right? :|

American “reassurance” is a “trust me bro” with no backing and no consequences for them if they break it.

I mean… Palantir showed Denethor false images of doom and despair fed by Sauron. It drove him to become a completely mad tyrant.

I think Palantir is a very apt name. They just don’t realise why.

There are plenty of Americans who worship Trump… In a literal sense… And are perfectly fine with ICE indiscriminately shooting people.

Are you trying to make a point?

Sure, but what does this have to do with the riots in Iran?

And my dad just went to visit Iran for two months…

I can ask the Iranian side of my family to explain exactly how full of shit you are. Wouldn’t be for constructive reasons; I doubt you can be taught anything. But it sure would be entertaining.

“I am bad at managing my finances, and eventually need to get bailed out by the government, or end up next to the homeless guy I used to make fun of”.

Yeah, so there are these kids toys at CES now that are always watching and always listening. Gyroscope if the toy is being picked up and moved, GPS to track where in the house it is, or where it’s going outside.

It’s loaded with voice and facial recognition that can track moods and environmental context. But obviously it doesn’t work offline. It has no on board AI, so all the data is sent to a service somewhere which will generate responses for the toy.

I wish it was just one such product being promoted at CES, but I’ve seen several videos now of multiple upstart toy tech brands selling similar AI plushies and such.

What’s worse than that are the fully camera, gyroscope, and GPS equipped children’s toys that send all their data to an AI server.

I think the bike exists to sell the battery. I’m getting a strong feeling there is no intention for the bike to be profitable, but rather as a proof that what they’re selling works by showcasing a real-world model that people can buy and drive.

With their plans to out-scale Tesla in battery manufacturing, it seems to me that they’re hoping to capture deals with EV manufacturers.

Ah yes. Penis measuring. But instead of measuring penises we’re measuring something even more arbitrary.

It’s all the same UX to me; I start up Stremio then check what torrent to stream from.

The big deal is that development time is put into these… Uh… “features”.

Yes, and us unionists are fighting back. What, do you think we’re all just sitting on our arses with our heads up rectums?

If a fascist takes over the Danish government I’m going to riot, and I know which friends to call on to make it happen too.

Rather arrogant to believe the US falling means the decline of our entire civilisation.

Nah, checked Wikipedia. Germany is one of the countries that entirely blocks the site.

Luckily I live in Denmark, and Denmark doesn’t block the archive. So when I’m back home I’ll certainly be checking it out.
