It demonstrably has happened.

Day 3 of whatever respiratory infection really started to set in on Friday. One of those annoying ones that's less incapacitating and more just "breathing is layered with wet sand".

Gross. :P

"Oh my god, he's doing it again, isn't he."
Mummy! Mum! Mooom! Look at me, not the camera! MUM!

It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weasel... for twelve seconds.

"Distances themselves"
You know what the appropriate distancing is? Everyone, from any company gonkbrained enough to do this in the first place. Have we learned nothing from literally every single other "online verification service", their numerous breaches of trust, data, and general humanity?

Shockingly, it's almost like a conductor is a conductor, and the only thing that matters with digital audio is whether or not the signal is sufficiently impeded that it can no longer be successfully decoded.

This might start to sorta matter for analog radio, but digital don' give-a

The hot new musical with no skates required!

American Mink

On ice...

I feel like I had a minor stroke reading all that.

Also, I will genet perch upon your shoulders and scarf-purr.

I watched them build that condo from the train for a while. It's a plywood and timber slap-together. The outside of it got veneered in fake "masonry" and they stuck a garden with a giant arm taking a selfie out front of it.

Vain-couver: Plastic in the pocket, plastic in the culture.

I... what. o.o

Nothing says "Vancouver" quite like a sculpture in fake cupronickel plastic of an arm holding up a shiny rectangle like it's a phone in selfie poise outside condos that speculators flip for a million or so because they are too small to actually have a family in them.

Good 'old Vain-couver

Yes. You are, to these narcissists with THE NEXT BIG IDEA, grease. The gears have to turn, line must go up, and oil's expensive, but your brains aren't.

"THE NEXT BIG THING!!" has given us self driving cars that aren't, a robot announcement that was a guy in a spandex suit, and the tool-assisted CSEM machine now tied to government rocketry in the most naked case of graft yet.

The hype is how the money sells the idea of you as rendered lubricant.

You want useful "hype" about a tool? The people who simply use it without evangelism, without marketing, just. Use of the tool in all its boring, reliably practical glory? Those are the things that matter.

If it's the "NEXT BIG THING!!", it's because someone's golden parachute is strapped to it.

The sole irony of the "AI hype" is that while it tries to grind up creatives and push humans into unemployment while offering no replacement support to keep them housed, its largest impact?

The "learn2code" bros have found out just how replaceable the money thinks they are.

"Oh, people are excitedly pushing this thing-"
Excitement does not equal utility. Also, "AI doomerism" is not "hype", it's a realistic assessment of how completely unbalanced that particular apple cart is. The wheels are coming off, and it's not pretty in spite of the billions frittered on hyping it

Counterpoint:
Already thought seriously about it. It's just hype. It's always just hype.

Indeed. This is only a bad outcome for the plutocrats who simply cannot exist without that system. And it sure isn't "ours", it's theirs.

Please follow the thread where the original polite disagreement with Levi was rooted in payrolling, and not the source of the whizbangs. Or don't. I'm not particularly interested in windmill tilting today, random stranger.

Ensign Genetta reporting to the promenade, sir. Need to verify that they are in fact launching the lime variety. This will require multiple samples, sir.

Hear me out, on this incredible concept:
You can in fact criticize political leadership even if they're on Your Team™ if they are doing something ridiculous.

This is a requirement for healthy societies, and healthy societies do not treat politics like sports team fandom. It's far more serious.

Disagreement with the thought of military buildup aside, Levi's right. Even our service rifles are made domestic, as are a good many of the combat optics. And the original context is a pay boost for the forces, not buying the latest Lockheed-Martin stock inflater outside of contract boondoggles

So I work in diagnostics, R&D support and prototyping ebike parts.

Metroid Prime 4's got an alien electric motorcycle factory. Yeah, this is now the anthem of my lab and workshop.

I don't have a Conservative premier, Tim.

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.
