Well said, I like that.

Thing is, you never have any clue whether the AI is telling you something even remotely true unless you go behind it and trawl through six pages of shitty SEO-optimized bullshit anyway. So you can either take its word at face value and potentially be completely wrong, or else just do the research yourself anyway and ignore the AI answer.

Personally, I choose the second. I find it to be less frustrating if I just assume the AI is wrong.

I’d be surprised if that’s still what it says. They have the edit history, they could roll it back whenever.

I guarantee with 100% certainty that that isn’t what they’re feeding into their AI, as well. You just planted a great big flagpole on all your old content that states “this account was previously run by a real live human” and probably doubled the value of the edited comments for AI training. Bots don’t have a reason to protest-edit their content.

I approve of the attitude, but spez has got us in a vice here where any attempt to damage reddit’s data store is actually just helping them. Best thing to do at this point is to scrub them from memory and just ignore them forever. Unless you’re up for some seriously large-scale corporate sabotage, that’s the best we’ve got.

How could I? He tells me constantly. Insists upon it in fact.

In my circles “Trump card” has evolved to mean the exact opposite of what it used to. It used to mean “the one move that guarantees your win”, now it means “the move that guarantees your loss”.

Yeah I’ve never had this issue with Android, not least of which is because you’re able to just root it and install whatever ROM/OS you want. If Google pushes an unstable update just wipe that shit and put Lineage on it.

Apple only gets away with it because they put their users in a walled garden where you have no choice but to receive Apple’s updates on their timeframe. I quit that life in 2006 when they updated my iPod Touch into uselessness and haven’t come across the problem again since switching to Android.

No plan or ethical framework survives contact with the shareholders.

If other people buy these, you won’t have much of a choice for much longer. I predict every auto manufacturer jumping directly onto this bandwagon if it doesn’t sink Ford’s sales (it won’t).

People like you and I are going to end up driving 2005 Honda “classic cars” 30 years past their lifespan.

“Everyone’s saying it. All the best people are saying it.”

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

The peak of their problems is the impending fall of international society into fascism and ecological collapse

But they’re not old enough to be expected to worry about that yet.

Because UBI doesn’t exist in this area and the robots are already there.

Dropping the demand for rentals is supposed to address this. But there is going to be a great big gap between “no one is renting” and “we can’t afford to keep this house that no one is renting” where the prices will skyrocket to try and make up costs, which kind of shoots this plan in the foot unless all the newly emancipated renters plan to pitch a tent for a couple years while the market settles.

That’s the fucking Feywild, bro. Those borders aren’t going to stay where they’re at. France needs to look out.

I award you a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Orks subscribe to the tenet of “accuracy by volume”

A meme (/miːm/; MEEM) is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. (Source: Wikipedia, though other dictionaries say similar.)

I think by a broad definition it still counts. But by a broad definition, Rock-Paper-Scissors is a meme.

I know this is pedantic, but defining what is and is not a meme is actually a pretty interesting problem. It’s a basic unit of data that’s shared and replicated among thinking minds. It’s our currency of culture.

Even if there isn’t tech to buy I’d immediately make infinite money off the instant private delivery of goods. You would have every drug dealer and government in the world blowing up your phone to get your services.

Worse than that - we’re going to steal your advanced farming, irrigation and astronomy, claim it as our own, then enslave you to work on these same farms with all the human rights afforded to an ox.

Historically speaking, white people - and I say this as one of them myself - have gone through and really extra fucked up the entire lives of basically anyone we ever met including all other white people. On behalf of white people across all of time and space - I’m really sorry, bro, that shit was super fucked up. Some of us are working to try and make that better. Unfortunately some others of us are still working to make that worse.

God, it’s cable TV packages all over again. Streaming was supposed to destroy this problem, not become it!

When they’ve blown more than a third of their market lead with poor build quality, poor customer service, and a CEO that is actively pushing away both consumers and advertisers? Yeah I do think that’s blowing it. They had a golden goose and then they kicked it enough times that it’s stopped laying eggs.

And yes, other EV makers are outstripping them, that’s how they lost nearly 30% of the market share. That’s a third of the entire market for EV cars, that they previously had in their pockets. Not outstripping in sales, yet, maybe - but the build quality and reliability (or rather, the notoriously poor quality and unreliability of Tesla in particular) are pushing customers that direction in record numbers. Name me any other company that lost 30% of their market share in two years and called this fine. I’ll wait.
