Never mind "jet lag"; this is proof positive that moving your body a single time zone is bad for your health.

Hands Up who has ever used the the ms App Store. I certainly haven’t and I’ve used ms since Dos.

And this from low UID.
Having no cash gives the govt ultimate control over non personing you and making you subject to global IT systems always working.

Germany is deindustrialising so fast, they will only need 3 hamsters in a spinning wheel by 2030.

I remember the fanciful suggestion, months back, where AI was going to scan millions of CCTV images just looking for crime in the real world.

But, very obviously, that's hard, and scanning the cyber world of bank and corporate transactions, and numbered corporations and real-estate flips, is much, much easier: it's just scanning a flow of bits for patterns found to be related to frauds and other white-collar crimes, in the past. Could AI scanning of all bank loans and Credit Default Swaps, and leveraging, have spotted the Global Financial Crash before it happened?

Oddly enough, the Masters of the AI Universe have never suggested watching their own economic class for crime, to my knowledge.

The key phrase is subassemblies are still produced in China.
So Cameras, Screens, Touch Screen, Speakers, Glass, maybe even the PCBs themselves... all still made in China.
India is just a screw bits together country to get around tariffs.

The one browser I never install because of history as being spyware.

Ok, I’m getting old.
I’ve noticed the decay of logical thought process from politicians especially over the last 10 years.
For example, in Victoria Australia, the state government just paid a small fortune to place dozens of Machete amnesty bins around the city. I honestly thought it was an AI joke, yet they can’t afford to replace rural fire trucks.
As an engineer, it’s infuriating how ideology increasingly rules over logical thought process, and in the case of this article, complete nonsense makes its way into the public discourse.

For my free chat GPT in Oz subsidised by the American working poor!

Normally I read the reviews of any movie, but last Friday night I watched this in our little home cinema with my wife without checking.
First, it helps if you have ADD to watch this as the social media interaction is fast and furious. It’s really an ode to how over connected we are.
It was full of product placements for Amazon and Microsoft. I’m not sure if any scene had more than one actor on a screen at a time. It was like a work from home acting experience. The military scenes were library footage. The focus of IceCube on his kids was an annoying plot device, so we skipped a lot of those bits.
The metaphor of the aliens wanting suck up our data to destroy us was ironic given AI and were we heading.
Eva was looking good for her age and we did make it to the end.
I give it 3/10.

You forgot running your own business.
I have 4 companies on the go, the oldest being 30 years old.
But it’s not for the feint of heart!

In Australia
1000km to the in-laws, which we often do in one drive of around 12 hours. Destination house has street parking only.
Much of the UK has only street parking.
Most apartment complexes don’t have the ability to charge EVs, or have body Corp insurance issues forbidding it.

One of the many things I find weird when visiting America is their awful tipping culture.
I don’t to be asked every 5 minutes by the waiter if I need my water topped up or if my fries are still warm enough. Leave me alone.
And I certainly don’t want them knowing anything about me. Ewww.
I get plenty good service in non tipping countries without bribing the waiters.

You're still here after all these years?

Notably though if we actually run out of work to do we have a post-scarcity utopia, and that happens when people are so rich that there's basically not a single person who, given even more money, would even be able to think of something to spend it on. That's not going to happen any time soon, so we're basically dealing with a distribution problem, which requires distribution (e.g. minimum wage, set it to 1/3 national hourly GDP, the reason for this takes a while to explain) and redistribution (negative income tax, do it as a universal dividend) policies along with monetary policy to properly increase the money supply to not fall behind productivity growth.

Just hack into everything he makes, that's going to be the MO here. "Oh this guy's LinkedIn says he worked at [insurance company]" boom, an army of 14 year olds now is millionaires from stealing millions of credit cards and selling them on the dark web.
