In other words “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

American institutional sexism at its ‘finest.’

She’s been great in every role I’ve ever seen her in. She’s also a prime example of how Hollywood is *not* a place driven by talent. Because despite being a great actress, she’s never really been front and center in any show or movie. The closest she got was her role in Criminal Minds (and I absolutely understand why…

Yeah, how dare she not crater her career in a futile effort to get some respect from an industry that has a century-long history of belittling, marginalizing, attacking, and victimizing women.

Only billionaires can afford to build and operate these AI systems, so they’re the only ones who will own and operate them. Meanwhile, 99.9% of the human population has nothing in common with billionaires. And that’s the problem — priorities. AI systems created and run by billionaires are only going to the serve the…

Exactly. They want to be the ones with the power. And if they aren’t, they don’t want anyone to have access to it, because it presents an unacceptable challenge to the status quo, ie their power and control.

It’s not about privacy. It’s not about foreign powers. It’s not about protecting democracy. It’s not about any of the things politicians say to sell the public on their decisions. It’s about power. It’s about control. Power and control of what they want people to be allowed to do, say, think, feel, know, etc, etc. The…

No, it serves the sole purpose of ensuring that they can never harm anyone ever again. People in prison don’t stop being a danger (see: Hitler) just because they’re out of your line of sight. People in prison also get *out* of prison. People in prison also recruit more people to their ‘cause.’ Or are you unaware that w…

Correction: it passed the US’s congressional clownshow....

You’re right. I don’t condone rape. But I also don’t condone indulging the impulses of horrible people just because society has fooled itself into thinking that we should be infinitely ‘patient’ and ‘understanding’ of them. I reject such willful ignorance. Some people can’t be rehabilitated. Their problems can’t be…

Nice false equivalence. Nazi’s ‘felt’ that way towards entire groups of people, for no reason at all beyond ‘because they wanted to.’

Nice false equivalence. Nazi’s ‘felt’ that way towards entire groups of people, for no reason at all beyond ‘because they wanted to.’ They *WERE* the “Tates” of their time.

You don’t reform rotting, toxic garbage. You dispose of it.

Self-inflicted gunshots are definitely among the easiest ways to hide a murder, and being part of a high-profile whistleblower case of a company that is getting absolutely hammered is more than enough reason to want him ‘gone,’ so this case deserves an extreme level of scrutiny, to be sure.

I think the biggest thing holding back the broader adoption of tech like this is still its size and weight. But the AR applications is, frankly, going to be a paradigm shift in personal and mobile computing and their uses. Like social media, the internet, the personal computer, the telephone, the camera, the radio, et…

Here’s hoping he gets thrown into a max-sec prison to spend the rest of his life as someone’s bitch — a punishment that piece of shit so richly deserves.

Let’s not forget the desire to ‘amplify the signal’ perpetrated by those who are desperate for anything to distract or entertain the masses who might otherwise decide it was time to string up their masters for their gross negligence and corruption.

Even if you buy ‘the disc’ for games these days, many of them require zero-day patches to run. At all. And of those that do ‘run’ right out of the box, many of those have serious, even crippling bugs in them. Because the ‘we’ll fix it in post’ mentality has seeped into the market.

The State of the Union is strong...just so long as you ignore the fact that roughly 1/3rd of the country is driving hard at ripping it apart. Even being so bold as to proudly proclaim it out loud. “We need a national divorce.”

Reagan’s actions were instrumental and foundational to everything that has gone to shit in American since the 80s (and that’s not hyperbole) ...in addition to being a god-awful human being, a racist, bigoted, sexist, greedy, corrupt asshole. The proverbial piece of shit floating in the political toilet bowl. So, I…
