Which perfectly exposes the problems of showing AI slob to people who try to learn and extend their horizons.

On one hand that’s catastrophic and an insult to the art world and art history. On the other hand it’s unsurprising. Does anyone expect google to show relevant top results in this day and age?

I can’t think of a way for this to be legal in the EU by any capacity. I really don’t. They’re essentially claiming they own your likeness just by using their app and I really doubt it’s that simple. It’s kind of like asking for your first born in a readme.txt of a github script. Just because you write something ridiculous doesn’t mean it’s legal.

Not “if” but “when”. They have you and million others on the hook and already plan their next step to extract more money from you.

The article could be from 2022 and I’d be as unsurprised as I am now.

I got premium

Don’t expect things to improve after happily paying consecutive ransoms.

The US really is a special case even within just America and really cannot be compared to today’s refugee hotspots like Europe at all. For starters, US culture is very young and mostly made up of invaders and migrants. There is very little native culture still there as it has been assimilated for hundreds of years, mostly by Europeans. On top of that, there have been heavy crackdowns on migrant cultures as well, making it anything but the organically grown culture it often claims to be. And as such I think it is a bad example of how unchecked mass migration can work because it didn’t work for the natives and it didn’t happen for the modern US. It does show that strong migration can lead to great success, though it’s still far less densely populated than Europe even now so a direct comparison is still difficult.

Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.

Nobody wants it and if amazon/google/microsoft/facebook would be honest about what it really does, the overwhelming majority would decline it in a heartbeat. But corporations do what corporations do best and consumers take it with a shrug. And I kind of get it. Life is too short to learn about everything and make the most informed choice on everything. Often you just shrug it off and never really use it.

I like the free stretchies I get from Ctrl+Z on the DE layout.

You would think they know how to use a browser but in reality they only use apps. TikTok being their preferred search engine speaks volumes.

I’ve lost to faith in several self proclaimed leftists over this that I have followed (not on Twitter) for years. They cannot let go of what they have “built for themselves” there and refuse to accept their own actions have consequences when they wear their blue checkmark with pride like storm troops wore their swastikas back in the 1930s. Everything is a class struggle except when it would impact them. Then it conveniently becomes a mere transaction between them and a provider and you shouldn’t think too much about it because it benefits them. And if it benefits them, it benefits the cause, right? Right???

Welp, it was ‘fun’ while it lasted. Time for everyone to adjust their expectations to much more humble levels than was promised and move on to the next sceme. After Metaverse, NFTs and ‘Don’t become a programmer, AI will still your job literally next week!11’, I’m eager to see what they come up with next. And with eager I mean I’m tired. I’m really tired and hope the economy just takes a damn break from breaking things.

I mean I like the idea of magnetic buttons because buttoning up can be a bit of a hassle and this sounds like a decent-enough solution. Don’t care about changing sleeve lengths and the like either.

Interesting idea but I fear magnets might have unintended side effects to phones and wearable electronics like headphones.

None of what you said is even related to the one trillion (and rising) debt in any way. Why don’t you stay focused on the argument but instead dump random facts into the discussion?

By the way you literally just have to type “china highspeed rail debt” in any search engine of your choice and get bombarded with facts about it. Why didn’t you even try?

Great example of another tech that is slowly bankrupting China because of it‘s overly excessive but poor implementation. One trillion dollars of debt and rising for a network that is barely used in most parts.

And they soon will realize the infinite money glitch is just in games and not reality.

The way MS is headed, would it really surprise anyone if a faulty update accidentally re-enables it without telling you and cause a massive shitstorm, though? I‘m not sure how many companies are naive enough to have this sword of Damocles above their machines. Especially with that disastrous anti-hacker resolution by the UN on the way. Sure, there are a lot of companies who just don‘t care nearly as much as they should, but one massive leak caused with recall involved could be enough for thousands of them to switch.

Desperate and depraved of ideas.
