Not sure why you added the /s when this line of thinking is quickly becoming the primary line of thinking.

Movie AI isn’t what we are headed for. This is what we are headed for. Where’s that movie?

Sadly, there is no amount of in-their-face proof to overcome the “I do my own research” mentality.

And the original meme here misses the most important piece - they lack the basic concept of logic to understand how cause and effect relate to each other. So showing them A vs B won’t get them to the results you expect - even though it should.

It doesn’t stop existing, you just can’t buy it… Not great but not unreasonable.

Yeah, cell phones had internet in the 90’s as well.

What if it is news about someone forcing a person to light an Amish person’s candle at midnight. Is it technology news then?

Depends, do you think you can hold on to your humanity? Are you looking forward to working along side some of the most soul crushing people you will ever know? Really, it’s nothing more than training you to view humans as nothing more than a commodity. If you are cool with either thinking that way or operating in an environment that demands that kind of thinking…

I see these countries building their trade with counties other than the US as the only good part of Trump’s tarrif tantrums. Less reliance on the US is better for everyone, even the US. Because it will force us (I am American) to have to participate globally without the strong arming bullshit we have always relied upon. It will force us to actually work with others.

A DEI of Back to the Future?

All the naysayers never used a Gateway AnyKey keyboard… their loss.

Technically they aren’t. By their plan, someone who is LGBT couldn’t be refused service at McDonalds because they are to be arrested and thrown in jail on sight. Like, how would they have even gotten into McDonalds much less have the gall to ask for a Big Mac?..

Being from Iowa, I take offense to that… But yes, you are correct.

The issue is not so simple. Blocking BYD has a lot to do with protecting American manufacturing jobs. That’s not to say Biden’s tariff was the right answer. But it is a more complicated problem to solve than it appears from the perspective of a single car buyer.

monkey paw curls now you won’t be rewarded for working while being contained in an actual prison.

So… AI.

Back in 1997 I worked overnight at a bank running their backup software. Lots of sitting around being bored. I took it upon myself to change the Windows 95 startup logo to say Windows 96 on a number of computers. Someone out there remembers Windows 96.

I can honestly say I have spent less than an hour in my life on all of those added together. Probably less than 10 minutes. Does that mean I am winning?

Too coherent.

The News: where should I start?

Wasn’t this the same justification that America used to send factory jobs overseas? I feel repeating verbatim what the US has stated is the ultimate sign of respect.
