Utopia would be one where humans can focus on art and science to advance our race while the mundane work of running a society is all automated. Stuff like this is not enough, but it seems like a step in the right direction where income remains the same to maintain a standard of living while still producing the same output

And religious fanaticism is the best vehicle to get that control

I’m sure some of their Republican voters will be thrilled to hear that…

Oh by the way, I thought the GOP were about state rights?

So he’s complaining that Milley responded too late to Jan 6th but at the same time is taking credit for starting the insurrection? Which is it Gosar? Did you or did you not want Jan 6th to happen?

But the app itself has already been deemed inappropriate and harmful to the consumer, on its own merits and not related to Tate himself. Equating this to removal of free speech is a false equivalency, that right is not being infringed on and is the wrong argument to be having. Tate has plenty more platforms to freely spew his misogynistic BS.

I like USA Today. Pretty neutral, facts based, well written articles that covers the gamut of topics I’m generally interested in.

Pay up Rudy boy!

I had my Pixel 6 for almost two years and never heard of this!

Realistic scenario: half the workers show up in person just to log into a video conference anyway because the other half is remote.

China be like: hold my baijiu

Pok guy - Cantonese phrase meaning falling on the street (literal translation) or hope you die on the street/suddenly (as an insult)

That, and other features like “ok Google” or place face down to enable DND

He had to inject his own persona into the platform by making inflammatory, discriminatory tweets and being a general troll on his platform, and then making unpopular decisions like forcing people to pay for a blue checkmark, increasing API costs, not banning Nazi posters, and of course, the nonsensical rebranding. It drove away people and advertisers who didn’t want to be on the same platform as literal Nazis and bigoted TERF people, and companies who couldn’t afford the ridiculous API pricing.

Honestly if he had simply not used his own platform as his own bullhorn, he could have enacted some of the more unpopular changes to become profitable.

Does teaching Holocaust make us hate modern Germany? Does teaching about Pearl Harbor makes us hate modern Japan? Why do they think that teaching black history is exclusively spreading hate?

Planes are mostly on auto pilot these days, where most accidents are actually due to pilot error. Will you never go on a single flight for the rest of your life unless it’s somehow 100% (not 99%, not 99.9%, but 100%) safe?

Jurassic Park. I love movies that starts calm and maybe a bit fantastical that builds up suspense towards a huge terrifying, awe-inspiring reveal and Steven Spielberg is a master of that skill.

Don’t want to encourage complacency, but back then he was a wild card in every sense of the word. Not even his supporters today knew if they were going to vote for him back then. These days, he’s a known variable, and observing trends are important. But like I said, don’t be complacent, go out there and vote next year.

Want to quickly point out that this whole thing was probably prompted by LTT’s Lab folks (who’s responsible for testing I guess), publicly name-dropping Gamers Nexus when comparing how their own testing methodology was seemingly better.

Chatgpt creating incorrect feedback loops like this is one of my main concerns about AI being used so prevalently. This and original thoughts disappearing because every new content in the web is generated by AI and not by a human.

…unless you’re a tech reviewer that receives hundreds of products a month from people that never expects to get them back.

I don’t know how to be more clear on this, this is a failure on LTT’s part, no question. There should be better processes in place to prevent this from happening. But there’s a difference between knowingly and willfully pawning off something that they knew didn’t belong to them, and incompetently assuming everything everything they sell off has been vetted with the vendor. There’s a large enough team that a miscommunication could have broken down along the chain, somewhere between vendor reps and the person setting up that auction.
