Not sure either of these counts fully as what OP is looking for, but -

The idea of the technological singularity feels right to me. There’s a whole section on the wikipedia page about scientific objections to it, and I get that, but if we don’t kill ourselves before then, it seems like an event that almost has to occur at some point, to me. And maybe it zigs instead of zags and we get star trek. Or maybe it zags and we get terminator. But probably neither of those I’m guessing, and these days it’s hard to imagine that it would put humanity on a worse trajectory than we seem to be on today.

Similarly, but less seriously (for me) I like to consider the whole “maybe we’re in a simulation” theory.

Shane Gillis was unfunny and racist in his opening monologue this weekend, but this skit was pretty good. (And is, believe it or not, tangentially related to OP.)

That’s essentially what I expect is happening, and it’s going to be difficult to convince me otherwise.

Look at them overachieving when they only need to worry about memories like goldfish.

Unless they release verifiably unredacted/unedited documents (and I’m not sure whether/if verifably unredacted/unedited documents are possible in this circumstance) I’m not going to believe they aren’t holding things back out of self preservation anyhow.

The worst possible time for anything like this to be released is during the Trump admin, because now I have to apply an extra layer of skepticism.

I don’t even have to go to a conservative sub to know they are or will handwave away his presence on the flight logs, and I know nothing worse is going to be released about Trump or any Trump ally, so what’s even the point aside from a witch hunt for all Trump’s enemies who somehow will be on the list?

To be clear, I’m sure that Democrats and a disappointingly long list of non-politicians are on that list too, and they should all see the light of day.

Yeah, I peeked at your moderation history after posting, it’s OK, I see now this is the best I could have expected in answer. Good day to you!

Remember 2023? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Bullshit.

If you want to use the browser despite those controversies then that’s your choice, but be honest enough to admit they exist.

I don’t use brave and haven’t for a long time, but these things are well documented.

Please Lord, let this debate actually happen.

I’d say it’s a good thing we have antitrust laws, but we all know how much laws mean to the group of mobsters currently in control.

As a longtime FLOSS enthusiast, you have no idea how much I love that posts like this are still being made when dev teams get together for a sprint.

I know none of these people, but I like that this kind of spirit (including the kind that posts photos about it) is still such a part of our community.

Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly, the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said government workers should comply with an Elon Musk order that is being disputed by others. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency sent out an email…

Thank you Nancy Pelosi!

This will really chap your ass then:

For the record I wasn’t disagreeing with your point or criticizing it at all. Just trying to give some context that might explain what you were observing.

This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?

He’s a long-standing member of the tech pundit community (dare I say the Linux community), and in recent years has been exposed as antivax, anti-woke, and a bigot. Before that he was just a confident sounding asshole with sometimes interesting opinions.

Been there, had that conversation.

I, for one, welcome our AI overlords.

I just love the hypocrisy from republicans. They preach smaller government, but are always the first in line to take rights and freedoms away from those they dislike.

More than anything else, their inability to perceive the friction between these stances is what frustrates me the most about conservatives, and convinces me that all their supposed “values” are just the high sounding words they use to justify various forms of bigotry and control.
