If the only thing people can do is regurgitate an AI agent than what good are they?

Practically every time a corporation ends up polluting the environment the government ends up paying for it.

It is funny because we now know that in the 1970s there were far more randos kidnapping people than today. The FBI actually got pretty good at these crimes.

Everything can be expressed in financial terms- it is one of the guiding principles of the universe. Anyone who thinks they are above or beyond it will rue the day.

Look up the US deficit- they have been subsidizing everything since the 1980s.

Apparently Samsung sells washing machines with AI. Yeah...

How do you become jaded with something you do not have access to? Has universal healthcare ever been tried in the US?

Yeah the computer is never flying the plane it is always the pilots who have final decision. Which is ofcourse also why the computer will let you fly into a mountain if you want.

The FAA and its international counterparts were created because airliners were constantly cutting corners or putting pressure on their pilot to do unsafe things.

Lincoln disagreed. The good man even had the balls to let loose Sherman.

I use several layers of ad/tracking/privacy filters that I honestly have no idea what the internet is supposed to look like. It is still terrible I presume?

I would blame those on the middle class cocaine users who fund the drug gangs.

Spending days of negotiating on eBay with annoying strangers and packing it all up for a few lousy hundred is not my idea of a good time.

Let the workers at the recycling center sift through the stuff they are welcome to it.

Yep this is exactly it. So many people with their childhood nostalgia not understanding that GameStop are and always have been a pawnshop.

Deadbeat dad selling their kids videogames to buy meth.

The pawnshop industry is incredibly depressing but it has been around for millennia and they will always be around.

The government asking race questions on official forms would be rather unthinkable! We don't mention the war.

Lots of old airports are a clusterfuck. Those places were built in the middle of nowhere 70-100 years ago but now find themselves practically inside the megacity.

Increased traffic and incredibly complicated approach routes does the rest.

In my country prices are often wrong because supermarkets are run by a small team of literal teenagers (one of the downsides of having decent minimum wages is that nobody wants to hire anyone if they somehow can avoid it).

The North Sea has given us free fish, trade with all corners of the world and now it's one giant windmill farm.

Just don't mention Israel.

Is there any other country that’s not this beholden to China? Welcome to 2026.

Yeah when Americans talk about how bad a deal NATO is they always conveniently forget the military bases. Most of their wars tend to involve Ramstein for example.

No it is just that capitalism is a cancer. Nobody has actually cracked the code on how capitalism can work without perpetual growth.

Leaders are looking at Japan and they are panicking. Fascists are demanding more white babies.

I live close to the Belgian border. Some time ago there was concern about Belgian reactors (they are old and their concrete was fracturing) and they were distributing iodine pills. Keeping them open even longer just sounds peak Belgium.

Stuff like Google Lens is nice. It solves an actual problem (me looking at Japanese and having a seizure).

The real advantage of Microsoft is that there is someone you can sue!

Linux like every open source project is just a bunch of people who are YOLOing it. Not something you use for your fortune 500 critical mission infrastructure.

reputational damage

Ah but the thing is that every company sucks so there is nowhere for customers to flee to.

Man I have been in 3 data breaches this year and it's only April! My spam folder is going crazy. Security indeed.

The US has spent the last few years insulting everyone so good luck with that...

Lots of people live in places were they will never see the stars! But luckily we can travel. I was awestruck visiting La Palma.
