It’s not random guesses, it’s intentional fictions to make investing in ‘AI’ companies sound like a good idea.

They think they can lie their way to real AI by convincing investors to pour enough money into them that poof real AI emerges.

They’re not going to get the poof they’re hoping for.

And it’s hard to have sympathy for someone who takes and keeps a job at a company that has NFTs as part of their business plan. “Red flag” doesn’t begin to describe what a huge warning that is to stay the fuck away.

Nuclear energy companies aren’t trying to make people think that their reactors reproduce.

AI companies are trying to make people think that their software is intelligent.

The context matters.

Why is your brand new account tagged as a bot account?

Didn’t he go perform for the Saudis?

Shut the fuck up, Jimmy.

Yeah, there could be lots of reasons. I’ve gotten Apple GCs with cash back rewards from my credit card, for example.

Time Machine backups to the NAS.

Though, really important stuff should be backed up off-site.

Apple’s WebKit (WebCore+JavaScriptCore) was originally a fork of KHTML/KJS. They shared at the beginning but not very well. They eventually opened up their source and made changes that were more friendly to other developers. A lot of browsers and embedded renderers use WebKit, now, besides Safari and KDE based ones.

Google forked WebCore for Chromium. I don’t think they share a codebase, anymore. Edge, Opera and many embedded renderers use Chromium.

Anyway, I just think it’s interesting that most every browser out there is descended from KHTML.

I don’t think anybody needs this. Hypochondriacs are the only market I can see.

This is going to be like shaving razors, isn’t it? How soon before quad-fold phones?

I’ve gotten so much out of NMS by now that I would prepay for Light No Fire and not care of it wasn’t playable for 5 years.

But, I don’t blame them for being cautious and it cements my “loyalty“.

Contrast with Subnautica which I might have said the same about until they sold out to Krafton and the ensuing drama.

Of course it is possible that everyone pays for the hardware anyhow but it is not necessarily the case.

It is necessarily the case. No company incurs the cost of making something, delivers it and then just hopes that someone pays for it. You literally can’t do business that way.

I fully expect the SCO case to be resurrected at some point in this timeline. Then they’ll know.

Thanks for the new nightmare. I hate it.

Teeth growing inside tumors is already a thing. Just grow some tumors.

Yeah, what we really need is more:

Rogue-like deck builders

Or, if malware was inserted in, say, 1933 or 2016.

What about touch? Phone or tablet.

If you have an Apple device and Apple Arcade, Stardew Valley is free.

Sounds like another bubble ripe for bursting.
