Google doesn’t develop things it buys things, they only needed a dummy model to scare other companies into thinking there is a competitor that could outmaneuver them if they don’t sell to Google, it’s not like Google is trying to beat anyone with their tech.

I wish companies could “layoff” investors instead.

It’s disturbing to me when the headline focuses more on the amount of people banned than the methods, it feels like the methods haven’t changed but now they are actually doing by their job better? I dunno. If the rules or methods have changed, lead with that, if you’re just now catching everyone because you decided to, it should have been sooner.

The shorthand for “Million” is just “M”

You know Apple has run out of ideas when the headlines are talking about “hope”

Only Musk will be able to participate in polls soon (to protect the integrity of the vote)

Actually I heard this is just another step towards Musk’s final goal where only he will be able to vote in online polls (to protect the integrity of the vote of course)

Turn off your phone if you’re worried that much about every little scrap of energy.

The only thing in the world you can change is yourself.

Have to remember they are religious. Killing things is part of the tradition. How it’s killed, how it’s prepared is usually part of the name of the dish. Tradition is an obstacle, in other words.

Traditions are important to keep… when it’s the best way… but when there will be better ways, tradition is a prison that culture can’t escape.

Meaning: it did that and China might go to Ukraine and they are trying to shuck the blame

Sounds like Putin is creating another axis.

Oh I know, I’m questioning everyone else’s stereotypes by providing alternative stereotypes and try to break their narrow thinking.

I’m surprised divorce is legal and marriage isn’t for life because of religious practices.

Why would you think these divorces are because the woman is unhappy? Why would you think women get to choose to get divorced?

You assume women aren’t happy because they don’t have choice but you also assume they have the choice to divorce?

What a half-baked thought.

What an absolutely useless statistic.

Some organizations or companies are trying out “AI psych health bots online” instead of person to person psych health, and Jon Oliver described a “test situation” where someone typed:

“I’m having suicidal thoughts”

And the bot replied:

“That’s unfortunate, when I’m having a bad day I like to curl up in my jammies!”

And also (this one I remember less details of):

“My stepfather touched me”

Replied:

“Tell a parent”

Add legs?

AI psych health does not work, as of yet. They exist, but told a tester who provided suicidal thoughts “When I’m feeling down I like to curl up in my jammies”

I, for one, am eager to see a change to demand-side economics. This isn’t a magic bullet, but an unregulated demand-side has obviously been creating extreme wealth and extreme poverty.

I would prefer something in the middle.
