I remember for my senior project in college having done so much work that documenting it at the end resulted in like 30 pages. That was without stetching it. I didn't want to spend any more time than necessary at that point. Kids these days...

Disgruntled huh? More like disgusted.

Yeah, theyll make more money than it costs them. If they even get caught.

As a 20 yo country kid living in an urban area for school, I got into hard drugs (sober for some time now).

On one occasion I met up with some folks in a crack house to make a purchase. I sat by myself in the front of the living room. It was divided from the rest of the room by a pile of furniture with blankets wrapped to make a wall, like a crack head blanket fort.

A kitten came up to be meowing very insistently, and I picked it up. It furiously licked my fingers, which had crack soaked into them (it melts and if you stupidly touch it then, it soaks in). I yelled over the blankets, "hey I didn't know you had kittens." The proprietor yelled back, "yeah dont worry about dropping anything here, theyll clean it up fast." It was a house full of crack addicted kittens.

Im surprised we didn't just wake up to the news it was scrapped for the copper overnight and the money is going to a hotel he plans to build in its place.

Oh almost certainly the point is just to have used AI. Theyre accelerating into popping the bubble. The tokens are starting to get priced more realisticly and there's no way folks built things that financially make sense long term. Everyone is just being pushed to use it more to make more slop.

They can charge for the placement, or prioritize sponsored listing like they do for search results. So theyd make money on the feature, instead of spending money.

It should be fairly straight forward to check the state of a listing and ensure it hasn't changed since it was evaluated for this purpose.

How is this better than accomplishing the same general suggestion, but with real products? How could this possibly be cost effective?

Im not convinced there was a plan A.

Yeah, the Nazis got ideas from the US about how to treat minorities, not the other way around.

I bumped into it on PBS. That is why I'm posting about it here. We need publicly funded programming, museums, research, meteorological and tidal data gathering and forecasting, and on and on... All of these things hurt.

This one's bugging me because they want to hide the past, so its hard for folks to figure out who their cribbing from today. Not only is it hiding the harm of their actions, its making it harder to get enough people to realize what's really going on so we can get real change. We really are going backward right now.

 

Tidying up around the house, I went to put away the goodie bag from my dentist visit the other day.

Mini sensodyne! 2 Tubes! No sensitive teeth while I travel this year!
