Gee, I wonder if that’s got anything to do with the extreme enshittification the industry is seeing. It’s almost as though younger people are less likely to be able to afford increasingly expensive luxuries right now.

I had to google this, legitimately thought you were referring to a Pokemon or something. Some weird combination of Geodude and Psyduck, maybe.

Look, if I have to go bankrupt for visiting the hospital to make sure that all these “rainbow flag” groups can’t corrupt our youth, that’s what I’m going to do!

• Conservatives, probably

It’s “not a top priority”.

There’s also endless content of them confidently presenting these arguments to judges when they’ve broken laws and being immediately shut down by said judges.

“Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome pope?”

More of this, please.

Sam Altman’s appeal to humanity is pretty weak. Dude directly took actions that made life worse for a huge number of people, whether because data centers are being erected in their communities, because their friends and loved ones are being victimized by AI-originating scams, because the jobs they went to college to get are being lost to AI, because the internet is being overrun with slop, or simply because they can’t afford ram and storage anymore. He shouldn’t be surprised that, when he antagonized hundreds of millions of people, some of those people are going to take their frustrations out on him. Maybe he should have thought about those potential consequences before he acted - but no, he saw the dollar signs and just couldn’t resist. Now he gets to live in fear.

Even just like… hitting a speed bump would be pretty bad.

I think about it every time I pay for health insurance, personally, which is every paycheck.

Ooh, this looks great!

I live in one of the bluest states; I actually like our politicians well enough. My district’s house rep in particular has been consistently on the right side of every important vote I’ve checked up on. As a result, though, I don’t exactly have a lot of contact with the crazier part of the population.

Mark my words, someone’s going to make a video game with 100% historical accuracy with this.

Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that all the time.

I mean, I’m from the US and I in no way trust America right now, either, so… yeah, right there with you guys.

I hope she’s living every moment of every day utterly terrified of this possibility.

It had the same benefit that cassette tapes did: It was trivially easy to record things from live TV to watch later, or to copy VHS tapes you rented. My parents were not wealthy by any stretch when I was a kid, but we did have a dual-tape VHS player for that express purpose.

Well, not to be a pedantic dick, but… Actually, it means to reduce by 1/10. So if they had a capability of 1000, now they have the capability of 900.

That said, it’s been long-used to describe the near-total destruction of a thing; that strict meaning is pretty dated.
