Tends to be as helpful as those windows saying “We are looking for a solution to your problem online”

Huh, I’m slightly older than your dad. As for “how is a 36-year-old supposed to act?” - that depends a lot from person to person. I’m a fucking hermit who works with IT and hates corporate social media. A friend of mine from high school is still one that goes to bars and parties with his wife for both to drink, eat and listen to live music, both also often post to instagram.

artificial intelligence (AI) risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.

Oh, you mean there is a risk it becomes the thing it already is? Boy, imagine that!

The really funny thing is how he says that “the benefits need to spread outside the tech sector”. Golly gee, I wonder why other sectors haven’t benefited yet! Could it be that it’s not worth the hype and it does not improve anything that typical computer systems are already working on, like managing electrical grids, keeping track of shipments, avionics, etc?

“Fires mobile carrier”

What’s the size difference when you remove the porn stuff from the torrent?

The number one skill of every nazi and fashit is pretending to be victims

They didn’t block all the porn, that’s why they didn’t riot

Humans have used other things to act as reminders of things and, more importantly, as recorders for numbers, so I really doubt “decline in brain volume” happened because of writing. Not only that, literacy was low throughout most of human history and usually confined to small groups, which rarely included the nobles, by the way - they would just have a servant that could read/write for them.

It’s deliciously ironic that we only know about those ancient greek snobs who despised writing thanks to their words being written.
