Is it just me or is a doctor who can't figure out how to turn off an audio setting scary? What happens if his shoe becomes untied on the way to the operating theater? Does he call tech support?

That might be true, except everyone who has been paying attention knows that all they have to do is buy enough Trumpcoins and the problem will dry up and blow away without fanfare.

Or we could point to the confounding factors they obviously did not address in the study, say "this study is trash no one should ever refer to or even read" and move on. You don't necessarily need a new study to invalidate a study, and this is one of those cases where you don't.

"The Emmy Awards, or Emmys, are an extensive range of awards for artistic and technical merit for the television industry."(Emphasis mine).

Wow. Nothing screams confidence quite like platform-X needing to play its own awards show on platform-Y just to get enough eyes to make it worth the effort. So cooked the smoke detector battery already went dead.

"None of y'all watch any of what we're going to talk about tonight, but hey, we have a second-rate comedian hosting, and maybe a band or two if they can get rides from the nursing home! And, uh, one of the regu... uh... recurring Seinfeld cast is in the audience tonight! Your parents couldn't get enough of it!"

It's too bad you don't know dick about luddites.

"Leaving aside the fact that you don't know the difference between an LLM and a frontier AI model"

One thing is a subset of the other. That was a weird attempt, and it failed.

We didn't used to carry telescreens in our pockets, so that's different.

Before streaming it wasn't feasible to deliver different media to different viewers, either. They all got the same things from the same channels.

TBF the stupid Nazis have been around. They were just a little quieter most of the time, except when they were burning a cross, or dragging someone behind a pickup.

Maybe they can get compilers for some more architectures first

The Emmys are advertising. If fewer people consume them, that's a loss.

I wish I had a local PBS station. I get one broadcast with three digital channels, at least one of which seems Christian and all of which are shit. And since they split their bandwidth three ways, they all look like shit, too.

No, edge is the least safe browser. It's even worse.

They are arresting and sometimes deporting people who met all of the requirements. They are also doing international family separation, and forcing children to appear before a judge without legal counsel. Shit like that is how we know that maggots only actually think about the children when they're horny.

Which was also rumored to be the work of Christians

I figure it was the same as the reason Elon bought Twitter, kinda. They got it as part of a larger purchase so that's different, but the goal seems to be the same - destroy what's good about it so that the people who were accomplishing things with it stopped. We used to have discussions here that moved conversations forwards... Occasionally anyway.
