Hear, not here.

You can’t just blame GM. BMW has non functioning turn signals to this day.

But also there seems to be this misconception that the “metaverse” is a real thing. Right now it’s a Mark Zuckerberg fever dream. Personally I don’t think VR is ever going to be more than a niche thing that a small percentage of people are into; I think most people actually like their entertainment to be casual and…

Nah, that’s a wild assumption you’re making. When you get enough of them together, some people are always going to act like jackasses. To get overly worked up about something like that, or to think it means more than it does, is a hard way to go through life. The reporting is about someone who had a bad experience as…

Umm, I’m sorry. This article is stupid. An AI doesn’t have feelings. Doesn’t have rights. Doesn’t care if you yell at them, send them unsolicited dick picks, or cheat on them with another AI.

New rule, how about we stop using the word “abuse” in terms of people interacting with software programs? At best, it’s idiotic, and creepy misplaced anthropomorphism, at worst, it’s actively offensive to actual humans who’ve been actually abused by other actual humans. You can’t abuse, or sexually harass, a chatbot…

The Metaverse is not a thing that exists, yet. All of this VR abuse stuff, is easy to program around. Just allow people to block users. If someone’s chasing you around “groping” you and you don’t want that, you’re not being sexually assaulted, but certainly you’re not having an enjoyable experience. But it has many,…

AI’s aren’t sentient. They’re not people. They’re just algorithms that rely on massive piles of data. Flagging a person who ‘absues’ an AI program for bad behavior is as silly as flagging the person running over pedestrians in Grand Theft Auto. It’s not the red flag you think it should be that the next James Alex…

If I wanted to associate with someone like this...

It’s not a person, it’s a thing that you buy, own and can do with as you please. Consent has nothing to do with it. Does a vibrator have to give consent? And they’re not actually intelligent, because true AI doesn’t exist.

So, you guys who know me will know I’m not trolling or anything here; this is an honest concern about something I maybe don’t understand.

If I may make one small correction?
This sentence should read:

Yeah. By gosh, why are they going to a company that makes overalls?

I can offer one possible explanation:

Respecting Kim’s wishes would be keeping her name out of her mouth. Respect would be to say, “That’s not my place to answer that.” “We worked around some absences.”

Yea, everything everyone else already said. Aprilia is the only manufacturer with concessions, meaning they can have factory riders ride when others cant, among other things.

UK news this week has been covering a British man shot dead in the US. From our point of view it looks like murder, but US police have reassured everybody that it was just a normal random shooting - some people were wandering around at night and were just firing randomly into the buildings, so it’s not a big deal, the…

I used to be all about flipping people off if they tailgated me or cut me off, etc. Now I just let things roll because in the last 30-ish years since I got my license road rage has gone from getting the bird back at you to this kind of shit. Ain’t worth it. Let the other idiot think they win - at least you can walk…

This is the society you get when you treat firearm ownership as an inalienable right, rather than a privilege with responsibilities.
