Not to mention, in their example of the recent Los Angeles fires, they were caused by arson, not ambient temperature.

The last thing we would want is inaccuracies in wikipedia. lol

As much as I hate to give Microsoft credit, it's a smart move to bring in grok.

The cynical side of me thinks Microsoft doesn't care who's AI system they integrate as long as corporate customers pay for it.

Isn't it interesting that when investors have their own money on the line, the environmental virtue signaling goes out the window.

Suddenly the Green Energy initiatives of Exxon and BP should be given more credit.

I fall into the category of someone with hardware compatible with Win11 but refuse to update.

First, I don't want to make a windows account to sign in to anything. Sure there are hacks, but I'm going to postpone it as long as possible.

And second, I hate forced reboots of my laptop. It kills my private browser windows.

So for me, October can't come fast enough. I want the forced reboots to stop.

Reddit will never go after all of the bots. Bots boost reddit's advertising impression numbers and add to the stats reported to investors.

This is nothing more than a high profile PR campaign by reddit. The German researchers put a spotlight on how easily reddit users are influenced by propaganda. We all knew this, but having the cold hard proof is embarrassing for them.

Why would a normal person need an AI chip on their local computer to talk with an online chatbot?

These AI PCs are destined to flop. It's the hardware maker's marketing team preying on the AI-everything media frenzy.

Political Science, Climate Science, Gender Studies Science?

What does cite science even mean?

Are we supposed to forget the amount of junk and non-reproducible science?

"Nature", which most of us can agree holds a certain standard for science, has issued reports trusting science: https://www.nature.com/article...

Could I get 48/48 on a first year exam?

Possibly. But even if it's a 46/48 or 47/48, it's still a high passing score.

Could my classmates? I went to school with a lot of retards so probably not. And I'm 110% okay with the retards failing the test in any field of study.

The patent office went into retard mode when they approved this patent.

Actually, Trump was asked about this today and made a comment about the Hollywood movie restrictions:

WordPress with WooCommerce is actually a pretty good solution for someone with next to no budget.

Get a cheap wordpress compatible hosting account. (siteground, wp engine, etc)

Install a free theme like Botega (https://wordpress.org/themes/botiga/)

Get a free stripe account.

As a sub $100k annual seller, you don't have to worry about any complicated sales tax policies. Usually just your local rate for people in your state.

Add your products in woocommerce.

Blog about what you're doing. You could write a dozen posts at once and post date them to automatically roll out each week.

This would get you ahead of most small businesses and only take a few hours if you're somewhat savvy with clicking around a website admin panel.

So grand total, just the cost of your sub $10/month web hosting plan & domain registration.

One person could probably manage a handful of accounts and in some way or other shape discourse that flows into other areas.

How do you think rsilvergun gets voted up on nearly every post he makes?

As a college instructor (...) the current administration's language is code to enable a Russian-style kleptocracy

Holy fucking shit. You certainly are a college instructor. And that's not a complement.

Maybe the government can fund some grants to get your Stage 5 TDS examined. There is clearly a lot of bullshit pouring from your orifices.

Code named luck.

The street name will be "you're fucked".

It doesn't matter if it's objectively good or bad. People equate easy with familiar. Any change is going to get screamed about on Reddit and the apple tech sites.

It also doesn't matter because people who buy apple products don't look to buy anywhere else. It's not like what Microsoft has been doing with the Windows store and Live365 accounts to login to your computer will attract anyone new to the platform.
