Literally naming your agent peon is a little on the nose (sure, they spelled it Pion. Completely different!)

This is pretty out of touch. "Don't bother trying to make sure everyone has enough money to buy food etc., why not just give them credits to use my company's generative AI product, and they can trade those!" What an asshole.

They're "pivoting" to mixed reality, interestingly only after having their balls handed to them by a _pre release demo_ of Apple's Vision Pro. It hasn't even shipped, and when it does it's more expensive than 99% of people will buy (until later models bring the cost down), and Meta rapidly pivots tens-of-billions-of-dollars worth of investments from "THE 3D METAVERSE IS THE FUTURE WOOOO!" to "We _meant_ to say that mixed reality is the important part of this. Why are you confused about what we're trying to build?"

A remotely human-operated aircraft just blew up a bunch of farmers. Why would an autonomous software-operated aircraft be immune to that kind of mistake? GIGO.

what could go wrong?

An AI could be problematic, even if it isn't very intelligent. See the Paperclip Maximizer thought experiment, for example. Handing control of systems to AIs without checking for edge cases and rate limiting etc could get interesting.

was there an epidemic of flag burning? I blinked.

and did they use the same testing protocol that came up with "100 year archival gold CD-R" disks that degrade after less than 10 years?

or, they have their own safety tests in place and don't want to subject themselves to licensing or other fees to samsung Why would a company want to adopt Samsung's battery safety methodology? It has no track record since the battery exploding thing from their last model.

Both are viable platforms with lots of games and players. Who cares if one is twice the size of the other?

and emails!

wait. people agree with each other on the internet? what the hell just happened? ;-)

each site has a unique, computer-generated password. which is stored in encrypted form and only decrypted by you when you need to retrieve that single password. if one of the 20 sites doesn't store their password properly in their database, only that password will be compromised and the other 19 are safe. This is much better than using a single super-secure-nobody-could-possibly-guess-it password for all sites.

John Boone did it 3 times, and lived to tell about it.
