So, you're saying the videos the plaintiff was watching weren't pre-recorded audio-visual materials? Then what the hell are video files?

I love all the folks that are "just buy the phone outright, unlocked, then this isn't a problem". Not everybody has the money to do that. So, you're saying that poor people should get screwed? That purchasing a phone on credit doesn't mean that you own it? Where are all the "products you buy are your products, not the manufacturer's" people?

This benefits no one but Verizon. This is explicitly anti-consumer.

Pizza used to be a cheap way to grab a lot of food for (comparatively) little money. You could feed your family, or yourself for a couple of days, for less than the cost of going to a sit-down restaurant. That's not true anymore. We're seeing the same thing with a lot of fast food. It's costs so much more money that it's just not worth the cost anymore. And pizza has gotten a lot more expensive. The last time I looked at getting a pizza delivered, it was nearly $50 for a single pizza, with everything included. That is drastically more than it used to cost. I'd be okay with it if I knew that the people actually cooking the pizza and delivering the pizza were being paid decent money, but we all know they aren't.

Yes, I'm sure corporation are going to jump at the chance to slash white collar worker's wages by 20%.

If AI is not useful then why are trillions of dollars being invested in it?

Because corporations don't want to pay people anymore, and slavery is (mostly) illegal. AI will never ask for a raise, try to unionize, sleep, take the day off, or get sick. Plus, AI expenditures are relatively predictable, and you don't have to pay overtime. Corporations don't want AI because it's the next best thing, or that it's superduper awesome, they want it because fuck everyone who has to work for a living, that's why. Why should they share money with employees when they can keep it all for themselves?

It mentions two games, but then only mentions Oxenfree. What's the other game?

So, if this lawsuit wins, the ISPs get to keep selling user information. Users can't really stop this, due to the fact that most locations have only one (or, if they're lucky, two) providers. The law that the lawsuit is fighting says that they have to get permission from their users before they sell said information. If the lawsuit wins (and strikes down the law), the free speech of the ISP's users is squashed. If the lawsuit loses, the users' free speech is protected, and the ISPs can no longer sell the users' information without permission. I kinda hate that the right to make money is now considered a free speech right here.

...before a bunch of people say that climate change is a lie and that this is totally normal.

....you expect Microsoft to do good? Of course errors will "fail silently". Garbage is as garbage does.

Frosty piss. Also, I think Derakhshan may be right.

Take the what? Is this my browser? I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Sadly, he is not.

Did you check out the link? See the game? Yes, it's entirely possible that an AI wrote this game. That said, it's kind of a crappy game. It's very short, and doesn't have much in the way of emotional involvement. I'm still excited to see what the future holds...

I kinda thought that was the point from the beginning. I'm kind of surprised that almost 20 years later people are finally starting to get the point of the film. I loved it when I saw it in the theater, and I bought it on VHS, and then later on DVD. It's a great film. Sure, it's cheesy as hell, but still, the message is good. You just gotta read between the lines.
