Based on the above, if Gemini did in fact tell the young man to do this, they should be liable for billions of dollars to the father.

So I have HBO Max free through the AT&T fiber internet service. Then I also subscribe to Paramount+ via Prime. I wonder how this would affect my membership. Will wait to find out.

There's always be people leaving for any number of reasons. I think the new net negative number is simply due to the halt of visa processing in lots of countries. Once they lift the halt it'll be back to normal.

I'm not surprised at the intimidation campaign. But I am surprised that the guy was revealing this to OpenAI. My guess is he'll be forced to take early retirement, or even worst, disappear from "public life".

Using AI chat bots I thought was a choice that got nothing to do with money. I'm surprised to see that this survey factors people into groups of income brackets. I don't get it.

If we're talking about how long it takes to begin booting... it'd have absolutely NOTHING to do with the CPU. Why was it even mentioned?

Let's make it really clear here... this WAS NOT a bug. It was intentionally done that way. Chinese companies LOVE stealing anything and everything so they made backdoors to allow themselves access to things they've already sold.

An exchange in South Korea distributed 620K wons to winners of some sort... but they accidentally shelled out 620K bitcoins instead. Recipients immediately began selling them and THAT caused the crash.

It dramatically changed my life too, in a good way. Ever since the upgrade to iOS26, my phone became completely silent from calls/texts of the scammers. People who actually want to have a legitimate conversation with me will always say their name and I always accept their calls.

On the other hand... if this was implemented by Obama or Biden, you'd be writing a heartfelt message endorsing their decision. It ain't got shit to do with your concerns for anybody's safety/security. It always boils down to hate for Trump.

Their term is not long enough to plan a major upgrade/replacement project. But most important of all, they shit their pants thinking about doing something like that. No agency chief wants the responsibility of technical issues five thousand years beyond their technical knowledge. The FAA running on decades old computers is the proof of everything.

The guy is dead... just let the matter pass. Anything dug up now is not gonna undo any harm already done.

Pretty much every neighboring country was affected the same way. My home country, Vietnam, had seen people being kidnapped by taxi drivers who spray something in the rear cabin rendering the passenger powerless. They wake up in the middle of nowhere. They were forced to do scam calls and were beaten nearly to death if they refuse. Some escaped, but most of people who attempted were re-captured and literally killed in front of the remaining victims to set examples. Some of the stories told by the escapees were the most horrific, nothing short of holocaust. I'm glad these thugs get the death sentence. Among them, the mastermind (forgot his name), is wanted by US for the same reason.

The demand of BTC purchase dropped because one man has been advocating for crypto.

This is something that I said a long time ago when 8K started arriving... 8K is impossible to distinguish using human eyes. If we perceive no benefits, we're definitely not going to pay an obscene amount of money for it. The investment in this technology is such a waste of R&D, just like the 3D TV before that.
