Why? Because AI is the wave of the future. It's about capturing users and market share.

Do users actually want any of this? No. Because it's not a useful feature to any of us users.
But users are going to tolerate almost anything to have a free web browser.

I must be a defective American. I don't understand why so many people tolerate ads in their Smart TV, on their Kindle sleep screen, in their children's classrooms, and now on their rather costly appliances. I don't even like having ads on paid TV or streaming services. Or ads on my web browser (that's MY bandwidth you're streaming video w/ audio ads to)

It's a twisted idea that every activity in life has to be related to marketing and commercialized. Some kind of hyper-capitalism, where we double down on consumerism in order to continue feeding the machine, despite the diminishing benefits.

The so-called Leftists aren't the ones that literally states they were going to start a civil war if they can't have their way. Out of the mouths of both Vance and MTG only a few months ago, but part of the conversation on the Right for many years. https://www.vice.com/en/articl...

The vast majority of us in America wish to work our differences peacefully and move on with our lives. Most of us know that war is not romantic. It is costly in money and lives, and clearly won't make our streets safer.

A lone gunman shows up and murders a man that is unpopular with half of America. Rather than questioning guns, the victims politics, the university's security, or chalking it up to bad luck. You have extremist going on a crusade to blame half of America for a death they had nothing to do with.

Memory of a gold fish.

Um... No.

I'm into that drug from Robot Cop 2.

Having an expensive feature to show off then never using it does seem to check out for a certain kind of Apple user.

I'd been trying to quit my air addiction and switch to traditional water breathing, but now I'm finding out that water breathers like coral aren't going to survive a warmer planet.

Fingerprints all over your screen? Gross!

Actually I have two PC laptops with touchscreens. I disabled them when I moved to Linux because they are not useful to me and it's too easy to bump them when closing the lid. (and on Linux there was a bug where the touch screen was still active when using an external display - sending your mouse cursor screaming all over the desktop)

Municipal owned broadband options ought to be the priority for the state. Make sure everyone benefits, not just a tight-fisted handing of crumbs to the poor.

If you don't have to split the house with siblings, people can and do live with their parents until their parents die. And then you end up in a situation that my family is in. The family house is being lived in by one member who can't afford to even pay the electric bill, let alone the taxes. And we end up trying to keep the house from being taken by paying her bills, without the a path to evict her.

As for people realizing college or vocation training is necessary for the standard of living they want to achieve. They are also too old to do it easily. And are disappointed that they will be starting at the bottom rung in their career at age 30 or 40.

We are going to let a lot of people make bad decisions in life that is going to indirectly impact our labor force decades from now. I'm not saying people should be forced to go to college or anything. But we should be making it the easiest decision of their life, and discouraging stupid behavior whenever possible.

The only modern games that should be cel shaded are the ones where you get to date different anime cat girls.

When you can invest in crypto or be an influence?

The new generation views corporate jobs as a dead end. There is no loyalty from the company. There is no stability in any industry. So why should they be expected to invest in a specialized education that is going to be worthless in 5 or 10 years?
