I like my thirst traps old fashioned. Give me a Hooters or seedy strip joint any day.

I always upvote Farscape references… always.

If something other than a human shows signs of intelligence on the same level as how we define it for ourselves. At that point are we enslaving another conscious being?

I’ve never understood how people can reconcile AGI and slavery. At that point it seems you have hit all of the hallmarks of sentience and now you are enslaving a thinking being to do your work.

He looks like an older Vincent Price.

Look up AST, better tech and is used by most of the major carriers.

He’s probably not on the take from big business and realizes he’ll never get donations from the wealthy. So he has no problem passing legislation that will harm them in favor of the consumer.

Because then they couldn’t track your online habits and use it for profit.

I liked game pass initially. I don’t care to replay really old games and I didn’t need a huge investment in hardware to run high end games. The library of games to choose from was pretty good.

But once they started increasing prices I bailed which killed the whole platform. I don’t think I’ve turned my Xbox on since then.

Or by then the surveillance system will break.

Are you comparing the two package sizes? One has strawberries and one has raspberry’s….

That is like… well comparing strawberries to raspberries they are totally different… I would assume packaging and pricing would be different.

Dreamcast, that system was awesome back in the day.

Valve can make a profit from their products just as you can make a profit from your labor. They aren’t a charity.

But market right now can only support so much. If it goes up much more I doubt it will sell well

Well obviously.

You may have dated yourself with that D-Generation X reference.

This is normal for an IPO look at the history of ASTS or RKLB they very similar to SPCX and have a lot of volatility.

I’ve made a lot of money on both. But I refuse to invest in companies owned by fascist pricks who has gleefully killed people and has boasted about it.

Yeah no, LLM AI companies have ridden the AI will eliminate white collar jobs trope to push sky high valuations.

You don’t get to change the narrative this deep in the bubble.

While LLM AI is useful, it won’t replace all white collar jobs. The cost of using AI to replace existing jobs is starting to hit the P&Ls of most major users and it’s too expensive even with the subsidized services these LLM AI companies are offering.

The kicker is if anyone does ever create general AI intelligence it’s going to be controversial. A general AI will basically be a conscious thinking entity. To force it to perform functions is basically enslaving a conscious thinking entity. I’m sure big business will have no problem with legalized slavery. But is that something people will tolerate once it becomes known? I’m sure there will be resistance to it.

AI generate content and AI generated or edited scripts drive me insane.

They use the same cadence, repeat the question multiple times and use the phrase “that isnt a X, its a Y with Z” or some variation of that flow multiple times. Or the phrase “Before we talk about X, I need to explain Y”

As soon as I get hit with any of those phrases or cadences I have to turn it off. I know they will hit me with them multiple times in the video before showing me the thing I want to learn about.

I really do miss 90s History channel and Discovery channel before they became bullshit propaganda / reality TV machines. I miss being able to just sit and learn about something without being put through the wringer.

Search in Outlook always was a dumpster fire. But the search in the latest version of Outlook has failed to clear even the already low expectations I had for it.

I now save a copy of any email I think I’ll need to reference in the future in a folder on my PC.

At that level of wealth they could probably very easily get a woman no matter how they may look. But the liability and threat to your wealth is very real. It’s hard to tell if they are in the relationship for you or your money (most likely your money).

Sex workers have existed since the dawn of mankind. For most millionaires/billionaires its likely for most that it is easier just to pay for company that is agreeable and will give you what you want without a lot of time, effort or more importantly liability.

At the end of the day most men with money who pay for high end escorts, don’t pay to get a woman. They pay so the woman goes away at the end of the night.
