That's not a thing. What could be a thing is that she and Jensen decided to import restricted NVidia tech to China by the billions. In that case Jensen has been violating a big pile of laws.

The AI has been trained on news articles which include CEOs sexually harassing people.

It's not a dumb move for two reasons:

1) airlines aren't fungible.
2) the AI getting the customer the genuinely best deal is bad for their bottom line

Without 1) then 2) wouldn't work, but people respond to brands. And IME in air travel this is warranted, as some brands are much worse than others.

If you only like being at parties where people are lied to, someone should check your text history to see how many gang rapes you've participated in.

"No one has used ocean liners as nothing more than point to point transport since the 1960s so that reason doesn't wash."

"the ship was pulled from service in 1969"

Too lazy to read TFS? Just pull anything out of your ass and post it!

Bad Horse, is that you?

They are if you never do anything outside of the click click drool UX.

They used to be pretty simple even then, but now they have all the complexity of any other system.

This is the console release, but even the last GTA game required connecting to the internet occasionally for a blessing, though it did/does run on Linux including the online component. However, the game is also absolutely full of cheaters, so I won't be surprised if the new version requires kernel DRM.

Rich folks like Elon, who broke USAID, killing tens of thousands so far and projected to add up to millions?

Fair enough - I should probably have taken a more "congrats, you're one of today's lucky 10,000" approach.

It's the guy on the left.

You did check the link I provided, right?

Nobody's physically relocating servers beyond the mom-n-pop scale; well, at least not until the much later "rebuild" phase, if that's what you meant. I work for nobody special, for example, and the most important servers little ol' me controls are replicated across three geographically-distributed data centers with an RPO of 20 seconds (more like 2-3 in practice).

The per-site problem with drone strikes is no different than any other DR scenario; where it gets ugly is correlation. We tend to assume disasters will be independent and localized, in exactly the way an intentional attack on infrastructure very much is not. But there's simply no realistic way to plan for every alternative site being simultaneously compromised - That's a matter for underwriters, not geeks. Or rather, the "solution" is trivial, but ridiculously expensive and wasteful... "Oh the fools, if only they built it with 6001 hulls! When will they learn?"

Can we please not do that shit?

It was almost certainly Dave Philipps and Matthew Cole's 20250905 NYT article about a failed 2019 attempt by SEAL Team 6 to bug Best Leader when they unwisely chose to blow a random fishing vessel out of the water. Unsurprisingly, that wasn't a great way to stay hidden during what was supposed to be the most covert of ops.

It tells us an awfully lot of us hate this world so much we're willing to burn our precious little PTO to indulge our escapist fantasies. Not crime specifically, just anything other than the soul-killing 9-to-5 we get to grind for 40+ years or until we're too broken to keep feeding the machine.

To your secondary point - At least until things get bad enough we're willing to take the "torches and pitchforks" approach, the idea of changing society is a joke. The government absolutely does not represent us or care about our interests (I'm American, but it really doesn't matter which government we're talking about). The oligarchy considers us nothing more than livestock to be managed, and the delusion of "peaceful" protest is the greatest trick they ever pulled on us.

Even here, where we theoretically have voices with global reach - Let's not delude ourselves, we're merely shouting into the void and occasionally one or two fellow void-dwellers will shout back, but that's as far as any of this really matters.

It's not "just a game", it's the closest to they'll ever get to living in a world where they don't piss away half their waking adult lives to enrich some asshole who doesn't even need that third solid gold limo. Bread and circuses indeed!

This is the third thread I've seen today where people claimed not to know what "GTA" stands for.

Please tell us about your last 20 years living under a rock, star? My ancient gran knows what GTA is and has never played a game more hardcore than Candy Crush. Hell, even the mainstream media makes a point of blaming some random social dysfunction on GTA every couple of years. What's your secret? I want in!
