4 billion even!

but but but it’s an historical document, not religious at all [wink wink to stage left]

I mean, yes, disappointing (and yes this is the leftism community so I get it), but it doesn’t look like he’s doing a Sinema or a Cotham.

Maher then asked him to explain what he meant what he stated last year “I’m not a progressive, I’m just a regular Democrat” and how he separates himself from progressivism

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point uses the comma the way you think it should be used

hey it says “in” not “up”. Just gotta lay down or maybe go inverted.

nose hair trimmer attachment works well around the ears I’ve found (but it’s loud!)

cold cuts? Have you seen the price of a bag of chips? Ridiculous. I don’t need to spend 5 bucks to hate myself later after I’ve eaten too many.

$30 to buy an old mechanical pencil on ebay you remember having in highschool? No problemo.

Antivax crowd no longer drinking milk I guess

We got real close to “15 minute cities” but that doesn’t light up the outrage centers of the brain like DEI I guess. Shame.

it’s a [not obvious I suppose] joke

does range come into play here?

Breaking news from the astronomy community!..

no, no, I’m certain I’ve seen this dish before. That’s ratatouille!

seriously, though. That looks good.

Maybe it’s too close to the popularized MCU iron man depending on what you want, but I enjoyed the 6 part Extremis series beatifully illustrated by Adi Granov. It came out 05/06 and you can see how much the movie lifted in origin and appearance and of course they derived the iron man 3 stuff from here. Very science fiction-y.

I don’t think you can reply to a text message using a third party watch on iOS but you can with your Apple watch. I’ve seen that cited as an exclusive API.

Something is stopping another messaging app to have sms fallback and be the default messaging app on iOS. It’s iOS.

Do you think the color difference is just to mess with android users or something and is otherwise meaningless? It represents differences in abilities. The abilities are the “degraded” part.

The meta bit is that specifically here, it’s sort of a derail of the main topic. Some downvotes I’m sure are for that. As for why this essay might generally attract downvotes? I’ll follow your locomotive off the track.

I mean, 1. It’s a frickin’ essay. 2. Comes off as a little cold and sorta “I know better than you do”, and 3. seems to completely miss the point of what I interpret as most folks dislike of AI in the current incarnations we are seeing (which isn’t a real sci-fi type general AI that gets society to the end point of your essay). I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone worrying about “what will I do to find purpose in a fully-automated-gay-space-luxury-communism?” (overemphasis mine of course). It’s now and the next so many years, not some far off future that (I interpret) folks seem to be worrying about. It’s income stability now, careers to go into now, disinformation now, degradation of the internet and media now. I think the zeitgeist here is that it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. I don’t think anyone on Lemmy really has high hopes for major players in current economic systems to use AI-as-it-exists-now to make anything better of the world in aggregate. It ain’t the tools, it’s those who wield them.

Not bad, Jupiter. Considering you have 120x the surface area of earth, that’s a lot of moons.
