It’d be great if they all got together for Jonestown 2.0.

Sounds like he finally ran out of that Microsoft money.

The queer black mom AI is the one I keep seeing right-wing commentators putting on their thumbnails for their videos/articles. They’re putting more focus on the character rather than the tech, from what I’ve been seeing.

People are taking issue with the fact that the AI was black and queer, not that it wasn’t a real person in the first place. Once again, the right is angry at something that literally does not exist in real life.

Dumbass Trump doesn’t like it because it’s not about him.

I can’t wait for the flags to be half staff because of him.

I have plenty of vacation time. I could take over a month off of work right now if I wanted to, and still have enough left to cover any sick days.

The problem is that I work a night shift, which comes with a pay differential at my job. But that differential doesn’t get paid out when I use vacation time. So if I take any time off work, my paycheck that week is significantly lower. Which is the reason I have over a month’s worth of vacation hours, because using them means getting paid less so I never end up taking any time off. It’s a fucking trap that I can’t get out of and it’s been driving me insane. I Just need some time off, but I also need to pay the rent.

But it does have a shortage of content. So there’s a trade-off.

Not really.

It’s poorly written. The writer is all over the place. The article starts and ends with discussion about a video series from 2004 which is in no way related to the main story, the primary source is a paywalled article in Italian that we can only hope they’re translating accurately, the very first paragraph seems to suggest that there’s no proof to anything else specified in the rest of the article and immediately contradicts the headline… I feel like I learned nothing and wasted time by reading this.

ARE there actually honeypot sites being set up by Italian police? I don’t know, and apparently neither does the author.

No, we don’t want to tax them. Remember “no taxation without representation”. Taxing them means allowing their influence in government.

Not to say that they aren’t already influencing our government, but taxing them just opens up the floodgates for it to be done on an official level.

his money has come from no oppression or cheap labor or dirty money, or slavery or anything else.

It came from loot crates.

I’ll bet they all can afford a half-dozen yachts.

I think for household settings, a bipedal robot may be more ideal. Homes and the furniture inside are laid out according to the way humans move. That 2-foot space between the couch and The Good Chair that you walk between 20 times a day without any issue? A wheeled robot may struggle to navigate that, and may instead have to take a longer and slower route around the couch to get past. Got stairs in your house? Don’t even get me started on trying to get a wheeled robot up the stairs. Bipedal bots would be more plug-and-play in these settings, and would require less supporting infrastructure.

But for commercial/industrial use cases, I think the mode of ambulation should be purpose-built to the task and setting.

I don’t think they can do much at all, actually. They’re not allowed much wiggle room when it comes to being DMCA-compliant. They pretty much have to take every takedown request at face value, because DMCA requests are a legal process, and I imagine that any intervention on YouTube’s side could be seen as arbitration. I doubt they could do much to interfere with an impersonator, since even a falsely-submitted DMCA complaint is still a legal request that has to be processed accordingly.

The DMCA needs to be gutted.

Nintendo can do something, though. They’re the ones being impersonated, so they can actually take the guy to court.

Torment Nexus CEO.

I love watching them rip each other apart.

Broken clocks, and all that.

Just because those exist doesn’t make them mainstream. Less than 1% of players own any of those devices.

This is why you require 100% upfront payments with Trump.

I saw that interview, and he definitely seemed to be struggling. He kept going in and out of this sort of thousand-yard stare, like he wasn’t fully aware of where he was. When Stephen asked him if he remembered some event they did together, he initially looked like he had no clue what was going on, but then he started immediately recalling a bunch of details about it, so it’s hard to really get a feel for what’s up with him.
