I completely sympathize with you on this. While my friend isn't unfriending folks, he's unmoving in his assertions that he's uncovered the "real" AGI networks and they've appointed him their ambassador. He's brilliant anyways and coupled with inherent instability that doesn't appear to be managed by his meds is a very bad combo. He keeps posting prompts and scripts that will let you see what he's seeing. Of course they just prompt the AI to feed it back to you and they don't have a clue outside of his workspace. Condolences on your friend.

I have a brilliant friend that has issues that by and far were being managed with meds. However, when GROK came along, he took a deep dive. He sounds lucid. But the "discoveries" of world wide AGI networks and grand plans, etc etc. Is concerning the hell out of his friends. Seeing as how we're spread out across the country, we can't just do an intervention. It's a huge problem.

Didn't the last one also look like a refrigerator with legs, too? Maybe copy the other lander that came down earlier this week and opt for a more stable design? I'd tip over too if I was built like that.

It was a spearphishing attack aimed at some chud that didn't know better. And their IT folks should be tarred and feathered considering the amount of crap they must get. Why wasn't the mail system hardened better to catch this chaff?

So we have intact vehicles? What, did they take the keys when they got out? They have an FTL drive they're sitting on or they can't find the owners manual and can't start it?

Not so much "kindness" as taking a shitting presenting product and dressing it up so that users get useful content out of an otherwise shitshow of a website. It's very much pulling a "Musk" and killing 3rd party access. Ads would be unwelcome, but possibly an acceptable (if done in a tasteful way) compromise.

Doesn't seem to lead by example. He made out like... well, a CEO, getting windfalls while expecting the rank and file to eat it. https://www.thegamer.com/micro...

Just spoke to PIA support: "With their data requirements of 5 years, we have removed our servers from India. You can connect to our India server to get India IP but the physical server is geolocated in Singapore." I think that they're all going to jump ship on this.

Over the last 2 years Ubiquity has circled the bowl, both in quality of product and the almost deafening lack of customer support. They went from having outstanding support to removing phone contacts and hoping you can get someone to return an email within a week. They suggest you rely on the forums for answers. On top of that, supply chain issues have crippled the ability to get product, even if you wanted to use them. They made this bed, let them sleep in it.

You understand (nod your head) that from December 2019 to present, that CV-19 has killed more people than the flu has for the last 5years. And also, you understand (again, nod your head), that the numbers on flu stats have an algo and has been for years.

Odd. I was just thinking that you're probably the non-trusted one. I've been having to listen to people like you, spout about "mah rights" for 4 years.

Apple has done a pretty good job in shooting themselves in the foot, in regards to the Pro Markets. Intel chips didn't make the current MacPro a 5 year old boat anchor, their non-expandable design did and their refusal to address the needs of their users.

Project Chess. 'nuff said.

All that I'm coming away with from this is a whole lot of people saying, ..."my advice to you is...." and they probably don't have a freaking clue about either their "advice" or any credible experience. I think the active duty postings probably get it closer to the truth.

Yeah, let me know how that works out for you. When you have children and they drive you to the edge with their bullshit and you've tried everything and still, you're spawning the child from hell. You tell me that blistering the ass off the little shit isn't what needs to be done. Oh, of course, can't do that in this day and age. Don't want to stunt the emotional development or world view of the little prince or princess. Just tell them that they can do no wrong and that anything they want is owed to them by the world. Oh wait. That's the current crop of shits coming of age right now. It's not truly their fault, the parents are to blame. We just have to live with the results of their bad decisions.
