I guess they didn't take in account the impact of another invention that came about around the same time as this article: The Birth Control Pill. For the first time in recorded history women had the ability to control when they became pregnant. Resulting in the decline of birth rates in most countries over the next few decades. Now humanity is entering a new kind of crisis, not having a enough children to replace the current population. In many countries couples are only having 1 child which will lead to a population decline over the next few decades as that is below replacement level.

If you want to eliminate shareholders then it must be mandated that corporations pay a living pension for their employees. Many shareholders are only invested so they can support themselves after their working days.

If that's the case, take a year off school and discover yourself before diving head first into something you aren't mentally/physically/financially ready for. I did it when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in university and instead of burning a year of tuition on something I didn't care about. School will be there later... in the mean time get a part-time job hang out with friends, get some life experience and then go when you got your shit sorted out.

Not only that, but when I search for an image of a "tin foil hat" I want to see results of a Tin Foil Hat. I don't want to see conspiracy theorists, Lizard People, or UFO's. Let alone recommending me images of Big Foot or anti-vaxers in the name of "discovery". Just show me what I search for, is it that hard?

Sesame AI was doing this close to 2 years ago. I don't know where they are now with the model as I haven't been keeping up with it, but I played with the demo a few years ago and it was fun to chat with for a time. I'm sure openAI saw it, ripped it off and now pushing it like it is revolutionary.

I'm with you on that. These AI companies are desperately trying to reach IPO before they are exposed. Once the IPO hits and the stock skyrockets from greedy investors jumping on the next big thing the executives will cash out and the investors will be left holding the bag when the dirty truth comes out.

Since you are so forward thinking with your statement, what do you suggest we replace it with? Or are you just another parrot without a shred of real thought?

I love my steam deck and use it all the time. I have the original run model and it is still holding up great. I added emulation so I can play old console games on it, in addition to my Steam library. I can play games from the NES era right through to PS3. I play all kinds of games on it, from Super Mario Bros 3 to Super Mega Baseball. I find it is perfect for games in that mid range tier, things like Hades, Rayman Legends, Tony Hawk etc...

I have been using last.fm since 2008. I mainly use it to track/chart my listening habits. It is great for those who like statistics, see which bands you listen to most and when, trends in your plays. It is also handy to easily find bands you listen to who are in town, connect with people who have similar listening habits and just chat about music. Pretty much a Facebook for bands/artists, when Facebook was about connecting people (pre-like, wall, and corporations using it).

Soma.FM was great back in the day, when it was mainly Groove Salad.
