By "AI" they mean "purchase American products and become dependent on American products."

Peace Corp don't impose subscriptions on people in dire straits.

So the next big moneymaker is Teddy Ruxpin? Sorry, I meant to say Furbies. SORRY sorry I meant to say Internet of Things. I mean smarthomes.

This is like how video streaming services re-invented cable tv, and much innovation, such wow, and we're overjoyed to see the return of what we escaped from.

"AI can fix the climate" "AI can cure cancer."

No you pillocks. AI can't do these things anymore than a book can do these things. You need people, and materials. Maybe they'll follow instructions from a book, but the book itself is inert. Furthermore, it takes a person to pick the book and distribute it.

If there's nobody willing to gather the people and commit the materials, there is no cure for climate or cancer or whatever thing you're responsible for. Eventually you'll have to do the work.

"Nobody is looking over your shoulder"

Tell that to Nicanor Briones, who was caught watching cockfights on his phone when he was at work in the legislature.
Of the North Carolina senator caught daytrading when he was in the state legislature.
Or Mike Bennett of Flordia caught looking at nude photos during a session on an abortion bill.

But you know how it goes: people think they're the main character of the story, so of course they're important enough to be under constant surveillance.

"AI isn't really stealing jobs yet..." AI won't steal jobs, just like immigrants don't steal jobs. The factory owners take jobs away from you and give them to whoever they think they can better dominate.

"What's your church group posting about..." There's laws in Quebec to enforce secularism, with no public displays of religious clothing[*] and there are states like Russia and China where atheism is enforced. Don't think any group you find pleasant is excluded.

[*: oh, but Catholic trappings like crucifix jewellery and wimples were grandfathered in, for historical/cultural reasons.]

Thank you for attempting to answer the question. I'm having trouble understanding the N.O.V.A. criteria in a consistent way.

Nova classification Grup I includes "milk" as "unprocessed food." That sounds to me like unpasteurized or "raw" milk, and that is not as safe to eat. Later it says some processing is allowed while still calling is "unprocessed." It mentions pasta as "unprocessed" and brother, grains have to be rendered unrecognizable multiple ways before it becomes pasta.

Grup II claims "pressing" is a threshold of processing, yet "grinding" is still Grup I. Pasteurizing is still Grup I but bringing anything other than milk to a boil is Grup III. I find it confusing.

Unless they're building LLMs in these courses, I reads like they're teaching how to be consumers of corporate AI services.

If a college offered a diploma in "how to be a good Amazon Web Services customer" they should be laughed out of the room. These kids are going to go into massive debt to learn how to give more money to already-wealthy institutions.

It gets worse: "The Russian Porsche Macan Club said some drivers had restored function by disabling or rebooting the VTS, while others reported success after disconnecting their car batteries for up to 10 hours, according to the Telegram channel Mash." So it's a theft-deterrent, not theft-prevention.

It's not about "fuck you got mine" it's about "please don't shit where we eat."

Who is "Activate Consulting" any why are they talking like 43% is a majority?

Becoming "too big to fail" was the plan all along.

Isn't the point of using a VPN to have privacy? I see here a scenario where Mozilla becomes the one predictable gateway, and the people are using a frequently-compromised tool to get to that gateway.

From the article: The Golden State is looking to newer, cleaner technologies, including hydrogen, which the new Utah plant will be able to create by splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The technology creates byproducts that concern some environmentalists.

Surely you're going to spend more money cracking water to get the hydrogen molecules than you'll get burning the hydrogen gas later. And what cthulhu-inspired process are they using that "environmentalists" are clutching their pearls about H2 and O2 gasses?
 

Are these numbers right?

Looks like early 2023 was the turning point. I wonder what inspired the acceleration of prices. (inb4 someone says "bad people acting badly")
