It's an alternative to X that is meant to be a place for Democrats to gather. Whether it proves to be helpful or hurtful to their cause, only time will tell.

Sure, AI developers should be held accountable for negligence, but let's not forget the politicians who've been ignoring decades of scientific warnings about climate change. They're the ones creating the pressure cooker environment where radical, untested tech becomes the "solution" to crises they failed to address. If policymakers hadn’t consistently dropped the ball, maybe we wouldn’t be in a position where we're depending on AI—or any other cutting-edge technology—as a last-minute band-aid for global problems. So while AI safety is crucial, maybe we should also consider holding the folks who forced this situation accountable for their own negligence.

"The red seaweed species Asparagopsis taxiformis showed up to a 99% reduction in methane emissions (Machado et al., 2014; Kebreab et al., 2019). However, this seaweed species does not grow in colder climates, has been shown to be highly invasive and to produce poor biomass."

I guess this came out in 1997, but close enough. There was a handheld console called the game.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The games on it were trash, like the cheapest things you could imagine. They were nowhere near Gameboy quality from 8 years earlier. Without the games though, the OS menu was pretty impressive! It had a touchscreen display with a weird grid. It had a modem that could connect to the internet for checking email too! Supposedly. After I got the game.com, I realized it was impractical to find a phone jack that I could use at school. But man, I *wanted* to check my email between classes so bad.

That's the memory of internet in the 90's to me - excitement and waiting for the technology to get better.

Did anyone else just hear the startup sound in their head?

AI could potentially knock out most of our careers in the coming years. It might be good to start pushing for UBI instead of saving every buggy whip company.

Some children go through great distress attending classes. It can be due to bullying, hardships at home, innate mental woes, or a mix of all three.

As someone who had all three, I would have *loved* the chance to go to school remotely and have it be culturally acceptable to do so. I ended up coming out of it with so much PTSD that I couldn't function as a person for years. Later I managed to take college classes online and get a comp sci degree. Top of the class. Got offered a job straight out of it, also online. Definitely worked better for me.

It doesn't sound like a perfect solution yet, but it does make one wonder if selective breeding of the things could bring it up to a symbiotic level. How many adverse side effects have to be eliminated?

Now I want to watch Stargate again.

-glances toward Madden game series-

If we can get them into our glasses lenses and wait for AR tech to catch up, would we really need them anywhere else?

Between this, the removal of the feature to send pictures, and the lifetime subscription price going up by a factor of 5 out of nowhere, I'm not so sure this company is going to be around too much longer. Unless they suddenly make a huge breakthrough in their VR experience to stand out anyway.

There are a lot of sketch overreactions going right now. It'll be interesting to see how this time is looked back on in 10 years. I personally hope it'll be a lesson for selfish politicians to stop demonizing foreign countries during elections.

There's hope in an emergency option. If the climate and heat really do get out of control, we could experiment with purposefully creating a nuclear winter. It's win-win. Either it works or we go out with a bang!

DC wiring is pretty scary over long distances. There used to be fires all over the place before folks switched over to AC power. Quite scandalous. Cooked elephant. Good reading.

Next time the US invades a country, they can honestly say they're doing it for Freedom now.
