But nah, they’ll just shove AI into everything blow the equivalent of Wikipedia’s annual budget in a week on just electricity to shove unwanted AI slop into people’s faces.

You’re off my several order of magnitude unfortunately. Tech giants are spending the equivalent of the entire fucking Apollo program on various AI investments every year at this point.

If anything they specifically avoided the payment issue most of the time. Having a team of 5 specialists just working on a diagnosis for one patient at a time is extremely expensive and most people (even those with some kind of insurance) wouldn’t be able to afford this. If anything they glossed over this entirely on the show.

I mean this thread is about tech that was perfect from it’s inception to the point where it didn’t or barely improved. Nothing could be further from the truth, transistor tech has had literally trillions of dollars and millions of smart people’s careers poured into it, and semiconductor IC manufacturing is now the most complicated single activity that our species does.

Every other military in the world would celebrate if the US decided to burn hundreds of billions of defence dollars on battleships in 2025.

Books were among the first things to be pirated and are still among the easiest because the amount of data is so small. People we’re doing that on dial up Internet.

Just dig up an old laptop and setup the full *arr stack with jellyfin. Takes some work up front but after that it’s basically painless.

This is off topic but I wonder how long it will take before we learn the identities of the people who have access to Trump’s twitter account. Ever since presidents started using Twitter in office nobody really assumed they were writing posts themselves , they have comms teams for that. Trump’s relationship with Twitter had always been different, and the gimmick has always been that it’s his way to talk to the people without the MSM filter.

But we know at this point that he doesn’t write all his own posts and we also know that he sometimes criticizes specific companies. Anyone with even 15 mins of notice about these posts going live can make easy money on the stock market. It would almost be silly if there weren’t people making a killing off it.

Its illegal of course but that hasn’t mattered for a while.

Confused idiots like you will be the end of the USA.

I would wager you have more of an idea of what a state of matter is than biologists do of what a species is. Humans like to put things into neat boxes but nature is under no deal obligation to cooperate.

Chinese government sanctioned groups can and will still access the broader internet.

They imagine themselves as the Titans from the Dune universe.

Is any of our current AI tech even making significant strides towards achieving this? I really don’t think the current crop or billionaires will live to see this being viable even if they live another 100 years.

I’ve had opnsense running for 7 years without a single issue. It might be the most reliable part of my whole setup.

Don’t forget, absolute, unthinking support of Israel under all circumstances. Even thinking about why you support Israel antisemitic, and this issue is more important than any domestic issue. Literally losing to Republicans is preferable to budging 1mm on this .

All I can think of is reminders to fill the pellet bin. On balance I don’t think that’s worth it

I do think that Trump is the final metastisization of something that was already festering. I do think if not him, then someone.

This is absolutely true because Trump is fundamentally not a fluke, but rather the inevitable culmination of festering rot at the core of American culture. If not him, it would have been someone.

Because when provided with positive evidence of obvious bias, you demanded proof of a negative which is ranges from prohibitively difficult to impossible. This is not a valid form of reasoning. The inability to disprove something is not a valid reason to believe in it.

Let me put it another way, I don’t converse with paedophiles so I’m going to need proof that you’ve never diddled kids before we can continue.

That would be good but that’s not going to solve this. There is rot at the core of American culture and Trump is the inevitable culmination of it. There’s no single rule that can be changed to fix this.

When someone bangs a member of the blue man group do you think they’re disappointed when his jizz isn’t blue?

Counterpoint: gorillas are swole AF .
