. . . if you aren't the customer, you're the product.

Or with AI I guess your data is the product, and anything you might incidentally accomplish (learning, working, playing, earning, etc.) is a waste product, to be minimized accordingly.

There's probably car analogy that could express it better.

Half the time when you come across a picture of a room with digital furniture, the very next one is the unaltered, empty-room picture. So if this tech is intended to deceive, most realtors haven't gotten the memo.

Far worse are the fake external shots where the house is surrounded by an acre of grass or woods, when in reality it's packed like sardines with the other houses.

Guess we don't get to know which.

You don't give a damn about "UX" to the extent it means user experience. You should be asking extension writers what they need from you to improve their work and truly improve Firefox users' experiences. That goes 10x for ad-block writers.

This whole vid is well worth your time (seriously, make a note to watch the whole thing today if you haven't), but the last section (starting at 14:20) is particularly striking in how few war deaths have occured since the invention (and rapid development/manufacture) of nuclear weapons.

It's a decade old and could use an update, but I was surprised to recently read that it mostly holds up even with the Ukraine/Russia War.

Because those pushing this do mind you having a meat option.

A viral kiss-cam video turned out to be (proven) not fake. I can't be quite as dismissive of them now.

This is a good video showing how meticulous the storage and cataloging is:

That's movie physics, not reality. They would have cooled more slowly in a vacuum.

If you want see them, this article has the only two pictures I found while (briefly) searching:
