Putting âoescreen timeâ into one bucket is kind of silly. Thereâ(TM)s Insta/TikTok, thereâ(TM)s many genres of games that, even if just for âoefun,â use and train a variety of skills (especially spatial skills), thereâ(TM)s straight up educational games. Measuring all types of screen time together is like studying food and not differentiating 150 calories of a candy bar from 150 calories of chicken.

Then they should pass a law disallowing that but they won't. Because they all do it.

I think thereâ(TM)s another layer missing: in the decades/half-century before AI, media (including porn) gradually became âoethe worldâ to more and more people. Iâ(TM)d argue that âoemedia worldâ has been devouring our real world ever-more-efficiently in that time (though obviously, slowly accelerating since writing and later the printing press). I think this all went hand in hand with recent financialization (and has happened in the past as empires financialized). And I canâ(TM)t help but notice that everything the author labels âoeworld-destroyingâ basically is basically AI automating âoemedia worldâ work. Best case, I hope AI leads us to rethink our real worldâ(TM)s relationship with âoemedia world,â because itâ(TM)s been destroying our real world since long before AI. Worst case, we let âoeAI media worldâ destroy our real world even faster than the non-AI version could.

(According to Gemini) Pop music frequently uses the same four chordsâ"the tonic (I), dominant (V), submediant (vi), and subdominant (IV)â"due to their pleasant, easily digestible, and familiar sound to Western listeners. The most common progression, , powers numerous hits because it provides stability, resolves easily, and allows for endless, catchy melodic variation.

This is why jobs will be replaced with AI.

So basically the people who purchase our products emitted CO2. I don't get the point of the article. Blame the marketing team at Saudi Aramco convincing people to buy their products?

"Saudi Aramco was responsible for 1.7bn tonnes of CO2, much of it from exported oil."

Imagine being fined for a political opinion because you don't have a degree political science... how could anyone thing this is good?

If they are only relaying data I guess it would be an easy fix, just send the data up encrypted and it just passes it along. But if they are actually needing to interact with the data I guess that's a problem.

You can even Veeam directly into S3. I saw a site using some kind of tape emulator application that made an S3 instance look like tape drive to the OS. Perfect if you just refuse to get rid of Veritas.

Synth journalist says synths are nothing to worry about.

Can other people be proud of their former empires? British Empire, Holy Roman Empire, etc?

I've had 3 company issues iPhones. The last 3, an XR, 13, and 15 were indistinguishable performancewise. I couldn't even physically see a difference between the 13 and 15 other than the charging port. They could have just handed me the same phone year after year and I wouldn't have noticed.

"People who make $100,000+ a year, but not $300,000+, like my entire workforce, will no longer be able to pay cheap workers the bare minimum to clean their houses and mow their lawns so they can work 60-80+ hour weeks for me. So then, my pissant employees might demand higher pay. And that would mean my already-unfathomable net worth might actually have to increase slightly more slowly! WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS!!!!"

I've noticed that people who are disagreeing with people who reference the law or constitution directly as the source of decisions are being flagged as Off Topic or Troll.

We have gotten so far away from what is actual constitutional and what is not that people can't handle being shown what is true.
