Take a good hard look at the average multi-millionaire beach body and understand affordability has fuck-all to do with it.

There's a reason Hollyweird looks like a 2027 documentary on GLP-1 addiction and abuse. They can afford healthy food, personal trainers, and the best gyms all day every day and they STILL choose the shortcut.

There are probably many methods to ensure that AI can do something accurately and correctly.

Ever wonder how many methods there are to manipulate and convince AI that it's wrong?

Today's AI tends to remind me of Google hacking 20+ years ago. I fear the early days can present challenges we haven't even thought of trying to curtail or control yet.

Why does my taxpaying wallet have a feeling someone at NASA wearing a badge titled "Space Camera Technician" (AKA one-fucking-job), is quietly sweating in a corner somewhere, hoping they also didn't forget to format that memory card after borrowing it to play patty-cake on St. Patty's Patty..

We name the new AI "PT Barnum" and turn it up to 11 via a Spinal Tap.

Then we fire up the industrial popcorn machine, and remember the good ol' days.

Good luck to anyone born after nineteen-hundred-the-fuck-off-my-lawn.

If the new discovery can solve for that obvious problem in the GLP-1 drug epidemic, then it's far from a "nonsense" invention.

Perhaps Hollywood can avoid replacing their growing collection of unhealthy stick figures with AI, which will be ironically programmed to present the pre-Ozempic version on the big screen.

I wonder how much that hunger sensation problem is fed by bad or alternative diets that avoid meat-based proteins?

Not saying those diets are bad for you per se, but I could eat rice and leafy greens until it's coming out of my ears. It will never satiate me like eating meat does. As it always has, which is not an uncommon phenomenon.

or wind turbines. That's because oil makes the world work.

Without oil, natgas and coal we live in the 18th century.

If python blood is 6 months away from a 12-figure IPO in the Waistline wars and Body Positivity battles, Greed will invade the Florida Everglades and turn it into another country from a tax perspective. You’ll need a Visa to cross alligator alley.

Let's hope the bubble pops soon and 640GB doesn't require a credit check and two banking C-level signatories to authorize the loan..

Ironically that was also the Slashdot community response when listening to victims of The Slashdot Effect brag about how awesome their server infrastructure is/was, five minutes before the post went up on the main page.

And we ALL clicked. And laugh-ranted, in search of a mirror by the time the first frosty piss of a post went up.

Slashdot. Offering quality technical DDoSing and server stress testing since, get the fuck off my lawn.

I think that's more of a mutually agreed thing, since sherpas can easily make $5-10K per client. Sherpas were also mandated by the local government following a rather horrific 2013 season.

As always, money can motivate most anyone to walk the walk. That said, I don't agree with "supported" climbs if that's going to eventually morph into sherpa escalator maintainers forced to cheat death on the regular, maintaining the half-million-dollar EverExpress Pass Plus service, sponsored by PeaksRUs.

What are you talking about? You bought a license to use a game developed and wholly owned (including any in-house IP) by the company who created the damn thing. You, don't own any part of that beyond a compiled installer on read-only media unless the company happens to be publicly listed. And then you're likely restricted to a certain class of shares that essentially translate into you having NO real power beyond an investor willing to lose everything.

If there is merely a contractual agreement between the game vendor and the car vendor, which both vendors agreed to licensing of that car vendor IP for a fixed period of time, then the expiration of that license is STILL between the same two vendors. Likely the reason Ubisoft is jettisoning any official support for the game rather than offer any type of alternative, is because Ubisoft was contractually obligated to do exactly that upon IP expiration. Is that a shitty tactic to force vendors to extend IP licensing with or-else type verbiage? Sure. Am I shocked if that was the case here? Not in the least.

Neither of the parties or contracts involved related to that IP, involve you the consumer in any way. You have been given a EULA-limited license to the game. With likely zero inherent guarantees regarding network play. And I doubt you're going to find even EU law in support of the consumer after 10+ years of support.

You the consumer can keep the game and continue to play (locally) with the skins that are already on the disc because you didn't sign the IP agreement with a car vendor now putting on the squeeze. The ones taking down all official support did.

In space, no one can hear you scream "NO fucking email!"

(I mean seriously, they're wired up more than The Truman Show. As if we need written emails when NASA likely has every other form of communication running/streaming/saving/recording.)

Speaking of suing, is the user community willing to pay for the costs to renew the licensing agreements with all the relevant car vendors, IF they're even offering it?

Because that's likely what it would take to legally make this "free".
