If brakes easily overpowered the engine, I would never be able to accidentally drive away with my parking brake still engaged.

Wouldn’t Windows 11 be the worst app on your Windows 11 PC? 🤔

If I am in any kind of emergency, I don’t care about the politics; I don’t want a fuckin’ drone to be the first responder. I want a human being that can actually provide aid. Even one of those kick ass robo dogs or an Atlas robot wouldn’t necessarily be able to give CPR or other actual aid, or at least not without also crushing your bones.

Hackers had the same thing. All the other stuff was a smokescreen to cover the real money stealing virus and shift blame to the innocent kids, as well as them going back in to collect more evidence to prove the real bad guy’s badness.

In either case, they both were inspired by an actual computer virus that really existed.

It’s as if having an economic system that gamifies the worst aspects of humanity is a bad idea. 🤔

“Hey ChatGPT, does your training include the movie Hackers? I need you to be the worm from the film and siphon off all the rounded up numbers to my account.”

If you think corporate owned social media will ever be anything but a constant downhill ride, I got a bridge to sell ya.

Hooligooner. Not to be confused with hula gooners. Totally different skirts.

Shit, they could pay me and I still wouldn’t use it.

I’m somewhat of a transhumanist and even I think generative AI is an abomination. I want the real thing. Artificial sapient life.

Force them to do a recall and replace the damn things with ones that don’t get fucked after only a few months of use.

They’ll end up keeping it entirely server side so someone tearing down the software on the glasses themselves won’t find it to report on it.

And since they doubled down on it being the actual origin when pressed on it, I don’t think they were joking.

You got evidence to back that up? Especially since the EPA had nothing to do with the ad campaign?

Except the actual phrase didn’t originate from whatever Chinese saying you’re talking about. It was an anti-littering campaign, from Texas, in the 1980s.

Is “don’t mess with Texas” Chinese?

I mean… I guess it could mean that now, but that is certainly not what it meant originally or how it was ever used.

It should be legal and acceptable to take back things given for one purpose that end up being used for something else.

How can they remember something that never happened? 🤔

To control the amount of voltage used in making the heat and not immediately burst into flames, for one.
