Comment This is easy, just use ad free AIs (Score 1) 42

Google and probably others will avoid them for a VERY long time.

And if not, there are many open source AIs we can run on our own machines.

And they will only continue to improve.

Just like adblockers, and Fluff Busting Purity, there are always solutions.

It's not our job to make them pay. We could even ask AI the best way to avoid them :)

I won't bother listing the books, because most people here and elsewhere have already made up their own minds.

I offered to bet on the issue, but nobody has the balls to back up their lack of convictions.

Countless airforce pilots are among the many who've witnessed UFOs, and sometimes seen bodies.

Ok, I'll wait for the usual comments dismissing me as ... let me see ... a ... conspiracy theorist.

I don't mind. Next year is the most likely for Open Contact to be announced. We'll see.

Good on ya! You're lucky, there are bugger all stairs near me.

Each year I race up a 50 floor skyscraper 5x, which is of course great, but that's only once a year.

The rest of the time I do intervals. It only takes 10 minutes a day. Domo arigato, Tabata san.

HIIT: high intensity, and low impact if you do something like run on grass or the beach.

It's free, outdoors, and the pain is over quickly!

Exactly! Open Source software, while not doing everything paid software does, is usually designed mainly to do the actual task at hand, and not tie you into some proprietary business model based on subscription or worse :(

It's a drug. It has side effects. Probably many unknown to us now.

Don't people learn anything from history? Or even read?

CAN they even read? If they can read, but do not, then ...

No, let's just live without discipline, and trust Big Pharma to save us.

What could possibly go wrong?

Yes, you're right. What a shame! I was expected heaps of /.ers to take me up on this offer!

They're all SO CERTAIN it's all total BS, but nobody is prepared to put their money at risk.

Sounds pretty typical to me. And yeah, those odds are hardly worth putting on a bet.

You probably think I'm pretty sure of myself! And I am, as I read all over the place.

I'm sure I'd be regarded as a typical conspiracy theorist, I mean, realist, but that's ok by me :)

There will be vast numbers of very surprised people in the next year or two!

What odds will ANY of you give me for public acceptance and acknowledgement that ETs exist?

Either this year, or next year, by an official government department in a Western nation.

Give me some decent odds, and I'm happy to have a little wager with you.

Call me whatever names you like, I'm more than happy to take your money.

No we are not, those with power are just getting more and more manipulative with their detailed knowledge of human psychology :(

How can the average person compete with Big Biz spending billions? It's the same with advertising and politics.

I have the time to study this stuff, so I don't get take in. As much. Most people do not :(

Exactly. Big Pharma uses it as a Cover Your Ass excuse: they get things approved if they work on animals, but if they kill humans, they just say: humans and animals are different.

Drugs don't fix health issues, they CAUSE them. Which is great for profits, as they can see you another one! To cause more problems -> infinite (highly profitable) loop, until dead.

JUST STOP CUTTING DOWN THE FOREST!

We already have the tech for carbon removal.

It's called photosynthesis. We've had it for billions of years.

Trees, hemp, bamboo, the last two both growing far faster than just about anything else.

But we won't need to plant much if we STOP CHOPPING DOWN TREES IN THE FIRST PLACE!

But of course, that isn't as profitable. Yet. But it could be.
