When oil is 200/barrel industry will switch out of simple necessity.

Yea, this is gonna be the big one. I can feel it in my bones.

I once got a 2k camera + gear + extra (Sigma!) lenses for three fiddy. No Loch Ness monsters involved tho.

But they don’t ask questions. You can teach them sign language to a degree and they WILL use it to communicate, but so far none of them has ever posed a question to their researchers.

Nothing a quick pill won’t fix.

Now, convincing your wife to take pills for YOUR illness, that’s another thing.

That’s fine, I’m sure billionaires will pick up the tab when all regular people clear out of the Strip.

Nopepad now.

I actually think the young crowd at MS would resist this. This looks much more like a top-down decision from marketing overruling engineering.

Independence would have been the best possible outcome, although I agree it was unlikely at best.

I remember posting about how giving HK back to China would inevitably lead to this outcome.

That was in the early 2000’s. So incredibly sad to see it happen exactly as predicted.

This reads like the beginning of a long questchain in Cyberpunk 2077.

Turns out, people have long memories when it comes to having their loved ones slaughtered.

Pretty sure they sniffed out anyone capable of that and sacked them in the purges. Hell, that was the reason for the purges.

He was not the spider in the middle of the web pulling the strings. He had people above him.

I am convinced I’ll be one of them (genetic predisposition). I’m gonna get killed by my own ass. Which in a certain way is incredibly on point for me, but I digress.

Just 1/3rd. But the other 1/3rd stood by and watched it happen, which is almost just as bad.

Wanna bet Trump is going to use the non-joining of allied nations as a pretext for turning on them even more? “These countries can’t be taken seriously, as they refused to join the board of peace, which means they are fundamentally against peace”.

First, its results are often simply wrong, so that’s no good. Second, the more people use the AI summaries, the easier it’ll be for the AI companies to subtly influence the results in their advantage. Think of advertising or propaganda.

This is already happening btw, and the reason Musk created Grokipedia. Grok (and even other llm’s!) already use it as a “trusted source”, which it is anything but.

You can set up any AI assistant that way with custom instructions. I always do, and I require it to clearly separate facts with sources from hearsay or opinion.

Man, it would be so easy to show proof of this if it happened.

But Musk paying millions for votes (in a “lottery”) is a-ok though.
