I think it’s interesting, that they can steal all this stuff and yet be unable to figure out how to sell it.

All the money, all the data, all the energy, all the computer power, all the political control. And yet, they can’t manage to sell a single dollar worth of their product.

Of course it’ll be shittified by commericals in and out of the content, and of course that will lead to paid models, but it’s not going to be very profitable, because nobody _really _needs bad intelligence. “Oh, it costs something? No thanks then, we already have intelligence at home.”

Yes yes, the users are the product, yes, but who then is buying that user data? Commercials and stuff yeah yeah, but at what point does any of this manifest itself as a single fucking sales transaction where a real person pays a company for a real product? Fucking never.

The whole thing is worthless.

It’s still a cool border agreement though. The new border goes right down the middle of the island, but it is agreed that whoever manages to get their sorry ass to that piece of cold rock are free to roam the entirety of it.

They should make a TV show.

F.R.E.U.N.D.E.

Nobody:

So I guess the kids are gonna go to the dark web. What could go wrong.

I will look forward to Darth Musk throwing a tantrum against Australia when they eventually fine X for not complying, but that’s about the only good thing to come from this ban.

Oh yes sure, it’s great they stop the kids from being brainwashed by the algorithms. They really should ban everyone, especially the elderly.

It’s impossible to earn that much money, but at some point it’s also impossible to hold or spend. Banks can only take so much safely, so it needs to be placed in companies and investments that require some management and all the consequences and responsibility of running those. Spending it is problematic because it will disrupt whatever market it is injected to, potentially harming a lot of people.

The only real solution is to avoid billionaires in the first place by taxing corporations much much harder.

The better way to small talk about traveling is to ask where they’ve been or want to go.

Goes for any topic really.

Based on your description I’m going to take a wild guess: Your father is a “functioning addict”.

It explains everything, including his self destructive behavior.

I don’t remember asking Grok a god damn thing.

Put them on Mr. Bone’s Wild Ride.

Cool…how can I get it?

They too should suffer my endless search history for obscurities. I want them to download all of my USB storage of virus infected malware. I will sit idly and tap my fingertips against each other while my SMS messages corrupt their society from within.

They won’t whine. They’re going to flip around and claim they never supported him.

Who the hell goes to his page anyway?

It’s difficult to read if you can only watch the person typing.

Sort of like lip reading

A brain itself doesn’t feel physical pain. That requires a nervous system and pain receptors of which the brain has none. Brain surgery is done with only local anesthesia for the skin and scalp.

We also know that braindead people don’t suddenly start creating brain waves even if the body gets mechanical resparation and pulse. It’s quite literally “off”. So, I guess the creation of a dead brain won’t feel anything or start thinking about anything by itself.

The question is what inputs they give these artificial brains. It’ll think that, and that will be it’s “sensory” input. Whether that can cause some emergent brain waves that could be interpreted as emotion or other stuff is impossible to say. I doubt it.

It’s really a question of whether you have electric heating or a furnace or district heating.

It’s not common to have more than one heat exchanger for hot water if you have a furnace or district heating.

Electrical is much easier. You can just place them anywhere and they don’t cost as much to install. However, electricity is usually more expensive than district heating.

Has there ever been a peak?

There’s been many technical improvements, but absolutely none of them have fixed the problem you describe.

Movie audio was crap in 19th century, and it was crap on the 20th century and it’s still crap in the 21st century.

I too prefer Writer over Word, but Calc is a poor substitute for Excel.

Excel alone is the reason why Microsoft Office is the defacto standard. Nobody gives a shit about word processing or mail clients. It’s also not even about spreadsheets and calculating stuff. It’s all about those VBA scripts in Excel.
