Well, duh... I can't put the Microsoft browser behind bars, so I"m putting YOU!

Certainly useful if you're watching porn, dubious value in most other cases.

It will only stay disabled until the next Windows security update, anyway. For your own good.

The Moon also orbits the centre of the Milky Way, which might happen to host a supermassive black hole or some other spectacular massive object. The Moon orbits both a planet and some other objects, so it's a moon, by that definition.

I'm not sure if an object which orbits the Moon is still a moon, though.

It might've already happened 9000 years ago, without us knowing yet.

All proles will be granted free telescreens, and you luddites can't stop the progress!

If AI can replace managers, then not everything is yet lost.

While generally IDGAF about Afghanistan (sorry if I'm looking bigoted) I feel sad looking at the state of Slashdot editing. Confusing Wi-fi with cable internet is something I'd expect from the Cosmopolitan, but here? SMH.

LLM is God... Said nobody ever, even Sam Altman. It's creating intelligence (and life) that some people consider "playing God", and the industry goal of creating AGI arguably comes close to that.

I personally don't think current AIs qualify as either life or intelligence.

I mean, playing God is shirk, the greatest sin and crime against God in Islam.

Affordable euthanasia services will be provided to these holdouts who failed to adapt to the brave new world.

Humans will be too dumb to work, but smart enough to out-invest (out-gamble) the AI and generate a meaningful income? This Vlad person is truly insane, Marie-Antoinette-level insane. May he meet the same fate as her, this douchebag.

In American society, maybe.

Yet your own ancestors, say, 50 generations before you, lived as peasants in abject squalor, barely making ends meet if at all, plus there was no security of any sorts for them - wars, famines, rebellions, plagues were a constant occurrence. But they still popped out kids like there was no tomorrow.

The modern society has become too egotistical. Everyone has his own pursuit of personal happiness as top priority. And that's why we're walking the way of the Dodo. If humanity is lucky, we will be replaced. If not, silence will yet again reign supreme over the face of Mother Earth.

I'm pretty sure that most of these "sexless virgins" of the 90s you're talking about weren't really sexless. The possibility of sexual gratification by one's hand was a well known and tempting alternative, not to mention cheaper and mostly free of health risks, if somewhat controversial religiously.
