I’m fortunate to live in a city in the US

You forgot the “un” in “unfortunate”. Guess you ate the nuggets allready.

To be fair, the US got Trump and co, so maybe India is getting the better deal. Even the Maldives are going to be more liveable the the US.

CAPITALism. It’s kind of right there in the name. Quite on the nose, I might add.

Guess the Iranians read the book. Trump only colored the pictures.

The Metaverse cycle:

10 Some article remind me it exist;

20 I shrug and continue not to care about the Metaverse;

30 I forget about the existance of the Metaverse;

40 Some amount of time passes;

50 GOTO 10.

So, AIs are going to be breeding humans. And that brings us one step closer to the Matrix.

You witnessed the birth of a new word. At least show some appriciation for this privilege. Iis

A Tomahawk cruise missile is 5m tall, Printing that would take quite some time.

Only fair as they haven’t listened to us in decades.

Great that California allows us to be angry about it.

• Hammer, if it’s lit and should be dark.

A friend, with a benefit.

Quick! Send them the coordinates of all those datacenters so they can avoid them!

I think the discussion misses a key point. Uber avoids any responsibility for its drivers. A normal cab company would hire people for whom they know their real identity. If one of them crosses any lines, they get fired and and getting a new job isn’t as easy as making a new account.

If that was an option, I’d make an Uber account claiming to be a woman. No way I would miss out on that!

Because an expensive consultant sold the idea to them.

If this is true, I think we should hire Iranians to build nuclear powerplants. Our engineers need decades to build one, they managed to rebuild their entire nuclear infrastructure in a few months.

You’re saying the US Navy is coming out of the closet?

So, hypothetical, if I bought these, put a spare laptop in a closed, filled with the worst shock movies from the internet, and set these glasses so that they continuesly watch these videos. Would that be against the EULA?
