Or...I posted from a stupid device that replaced the standard ASCII 0x22 quote character with UTF U+201C & U+201D quote characters and replaced standard apostrophes with U+2019 "right single quotation mark" characters. It's what I get for trying for Frosty Piss and posting from my phone instead of waiting until I was at a computer that doesn't do that stupid shit.

Also, it sure would be nice if /. would let a user EDIT a fucking comment after the fact.

Okay, seriouslyâ¦âoh no! See how amazing our AI is?! China is trying to get you! Theyâ(TM)re coming for us because our AI is THE BEST!â

This guy needs to fuck right off. Everybody hates all this AI bullshit and nobody wants giant GPU farms sucking up all the water and electricity in their neighborhood. Fuck China too. Itâ(TM)s entirely possible for people to hate AI without Chinese propaganda.

Comment Re: Democratic donor money is used for MAGA candid (Score 4, Interesting) 237

You need to work on your reading comprehension and learn how to think critically. What that article discusses is a tactic known as ratfucking. And it also says it worked because the MAGA loonies they supported in primaries (because theyâ(TM)d be easier candidates to win against in the general election) won their primaries and lost or were losing the general election.

From the article:

âoeThe strategy seems to have paid off: In high-profile races where Democratic candidates or groups successfully used the strategy during the primaries, all of the Republicans they helped have either lost or are trailing, two days after Election Day.â

So, no, Democrats arenâ(TM)t helping MAGA retards win. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Geeze, can we have just one frigging thread without the Trump haters?

I imagine so. Itâ(TM)ll probably take place around the same time we get one frigging thread without Trump sycophants.

Comment Atari (Score 2) 92

I never had a C64 but I still have my original Atari 1200XL, the cassette drive, an external 5.25â floppy drive, and a 32â CRT to plug it into. I even have my original BASIC cartridge and a copy of âoeMapping the Atariâ that Iâ(TM)ve been meaning to show off to my kids (now adults) for 30-ish years. I need to see if I can find original cartridges for JumpMan Jr and other games and original (still readable) diskettes of old Infocom games & one chess derivative game I used to play called Archon. That would be fun.

The conpany I work for had an approved merit increase of an average of 3.5% across ~1500 employees last year and 2.5% this year. Most people taking other jobs are looking at > 10% bumps. I recently interviewed for a job doing the same thing I do now but at a different company that is offering 30% more than I currently make. Know your worth people.

How do they make any money if most of the transactions don't incur a fee?

The cost of processing any of these transactions infinitesimally small. If they charge 2% of all transactions over 2000 rupees and let's just say there are a billion transactions per month over that limit (a small percentage of the total transactions processed) and they average 3000 rupees, they are making 60 billion rupees per month (nearly 700 million USD/mo). They're doing OK.

Comment Potentially unexpected AI response (Score 2) 40

It's already annoying to buy a lot of items online only to get the wrong item or something entirely unlike its description. Clothing is especially this way. But the more things online are produced by AI, the more people will realize the only way to have real interactions is face to face. I wouldn't be surprised if malls make a bit of a recovery because people will drop online activity once they realize it's 99% AI and they will crave in person socialization once more.
