I came here to hear someone say ACAB.

I don't know if I should be disappointed.

Welcome to the Jack Welch school of business. Where profit is the key focus, cutting costs, locking in customers seem to be the only tools available, and anything that would retain a loyal customer base to improve the customer experience, especially anything that might increase the value,quality, usefulness of the product is soundly rejected as too expensive to implement.

That's the American C-Suite think right there.

He's an actor, right? He's not supposed to have a personality or thoughts of his own, right? He's not supposed to be concerned about the state of the world for his kids, including the one that was born earlier this year. He should be nothing more than an automaton that does as he is told and doesn't stand up to or against anything no matter how much of a problem we might be facing.

Some people when given a platform chose to speak up and out. Often we look at history where authoritarians took over and ask ourselves, why wasn't anyone speaking out against this person? Why weren't they trying to stop them?

Fortunately we have Slashdot trolls who demonstrate that speaking out against fascists is bad. Just do your job.

No, I want to pay for 34123124 subscriptions for exclusive content provided by no other vendor and still manage to be inundated with ads because the top tier subscriptions are just out of my price range.

Yes, because it's impossible to watch YouTube while on a treadmill or out walking.

The internet is addictive, but saying' you will get fat with no exercise is about as relevant to this conversation as the price of tea in England.

No, that wasn't AI that did what he did. That was simply CGI manipulation of him. Regardless of the fact, he does have a point about the inhumanity of AI. The problem is that while it is far more impressive than previous mimicry, it's still a permutation of a mimicry. AI isn't bringing anything new to the mix. While there are somethings AI does fairly well, it still has a lot of issues and a fundamental lacking determination of right and wrong. Worse yet, it can't tell when it's screwing up and starts to eat it's garbage as gospel fact which then churns out further garbage.

There was an episode of Star Trek back in the day, I believe it was called "A Piece of the Action"
Every day we move along where the culture is more focused on their individual piece instead of collective portions of the team, I see sketch become a bit more of a reality. The increased usage of guns in modern American culture seems to draw parallels with the episode. Also how you have to give everyone a cut to advance things a long, this includes things like food.

Ultimately this is going to end up being a cybersecurity arms race. We are already seeing that now with more costly tools that supposedly reduce the impact while newer and creative workarounds come into play. Windows XP still being active nearly a decade after retirement doesn't help matters because many times what causes these systems to fall prey is that one stupid system that was never updated.

The younger generation has decided they are tired of being exploited. We are seeing this in union activity as well as every other facet of life.
I don't blame them. I myself have lived for work for quite a while. Others I know have broken down their bodies over time to make things work. This younger generation grew up with parents working to the bone and getting little in return. An example is the AI who chose to write this article instead of someone who knows how to proofread. I might have been loath to call in sick too.

This younger generation isn't disappointing me. They are who we need.

I know this sounds nuts, but perhaps we shouldn't allow people to buy air tags without passing a background check.

If someone comes across as a violent criminal or has a history of domestic violence/abuse, perhaps they shouldn't be sold an air tag or any other tracking device.

Apple has done a good job with alerts on air tags, but regulatory bodies could improve the situation not just for Apple, but other vendors as well.

I have been running it for quite a while. Other than running into some issues with application support, it's fine. I actually prefer some of the features in it as opposed to Windows 10. Just little tweaks you don't notice until they are gone.

I think I notice the way I layout screens the most. Having to support both takes a bit because I will run into something that Windows 10 doesn't have.

I am going to be flat honest. I would love to teach CS for a living and I did as a side job for a bit. The problem is the pay for teachers is horrid and I would have to become a contractor on the side just to make ends meet.

Sorry, I don't have the body for OnlyFans and if I were to teach CS, I probably wouldn't have the time to work out to get there.

Yup.

I am betting you could collect their tears and sell them for more than they swindled out of people just trying to go see a concert.

Boost it to higher orbit. Keep it as a museum piece.
Putting it into the Van Allen belts could serve as a materials study on the effects of radiation.
Eventually it will lower orbit and probably succumb to micrometeorites, but there is also a chance that we could see development of inflatable habitats that could one day encompass the ISS.

This station has the potential to serve the science research communities long past it's operational life. It's also an amazing accomplishment that deserves better than to be plunged into the fiery depths of the atmosphere only to sink in the ocean.

1. We need to have a power grid that supports EV charging at regular intervals. We don't have that
2. We need to have distribution networks of EV chargers. Something we also don't have.

Until then we will likely sell more EVs than we can reasonably use.
