These people are the classic corporate sycophants that order people to buy their game franchise yearly and to buy their favorite trinket from the game store but shut down all original IP because it's not profitable enough. As soon is their VC stage with their new buyer is done the corpse will be shed, IP sold off and they'll be a bad memory like emachine

The premise of this article, which I read, is that virtual office workers pay male AI more than female AI. Call me old fashioned but I'm not paying a clanker to do anything.

If, theoretically, Gemini is used for call center use (legal or otherwise) you can be sure to expect some interesting outcomes. Personal / corporate data slung through the Gemini system, pulled into the dataset forever, will be a fun ride for the impacted.

Vagina dentata is going to be safe and effective

Regardless of which side of the political spectrum a person is on hopefully they can understand that chatGPT is programmed by humans who build in their own biases. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/0... talked about the concept in March.

I told them I had cancer and I wouldn't be around much longer. They didn't have any problems cancelling when I started fake crying :D

On top of this proposition 103 passed in 1988 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) which made the California government the final arbiter regarding insurance rates. State Farm is walking away from all the potential income in California because it is not worth it. The connection to "Climate change" is spurious at best. " California voters passed Proposition 103 on November 8, 1988. It in effect made insurance companies require "prior approval" from the California Department of Insurance before implementing property and casualty insurance rates. It passed with 51% of the vote.[1] The measure expanded the Department's responsibility for enforcement to include: property insurance, automobile insurance, life insurance and other types of casualty coverage. Proposition 103 made the California Insurance Commissioner an elected position (previously being a governor-appointed position).[2] The ballot measure required insurers "roll back" their rates 20 percent. Proposition 103 devised a process enabling consumer participation in the setting of insurance rates, and allowed consumer "intervenors" witness fees and expenses in some cases.[3] "

The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2022 concluded that in order for the exception under FOSTA to apply, plaintiffs must show that an internet company "knowingly benefited" from the sex trafficking through its own conduct. Instead, the 9th Circuit concluded, the allegations "suggest only that Reddit 'turned a blind eye' to the unlawful content posted on its platform, not that it actively participated in sex trafficking." So somehow they did not benefit from the traffic and ads? The only reason why this didn't go to the supreme is $$$

I was moderation swarmed a long time ago for wrongthink so my score is an automatic -1 .

Google went into Louisville, KY and made huge promises. Sent out T-shirts for free (I still have mine) and dug big ugly trenches in the road because they couldn't figure out how to lawyer up against the AT&T. They dropped out and left everybody hanging within a couple of years of the project start. Only a fool trusts google's long term plan because they don't have one.

Having a smart phone with constant prompts for interaction is a net negative. When I went the dumb phone route (which I had to use because the carrier changed settings to encourage VOIP calling) I had so much more time in my day just from not having a smartphone constantly begging for attention.

That's a waste of money you could halve the cost by cutting out the iron

Plus there's the unfortunate fact that lithium ion batteries really don't handle water very well. Imagine this reaction underneath your genitals https://youtu.be/bNMfe20I_IE

Oh get out of here with that. It's perfectly normal for healthy 31 year olds & college athletes to die of heart attacks.

You can't walk around an island without legs.
