Ha, eat that China! Now you need to pay millions to American oligarchs for all our user data!

USA!

It’d be very easy to take some LLM text about some product, run it through a text to speech converter then quietly expose the phone to it (like put a earbud up to the mic). This way you could easily create a blind or a double blind test, you don’t know what product that this set up has been rambling about into the phone for the past twelve hours and you have to pick it out from the ads you’re served.

Searching the internet for information about… well anything has become infuriating. I’m glad that most search engines have a time range setting.

They were repeatedly being selected for the people who could handle a slightly colder environment, so by the time the population reached the polar regions, all that was left was people with traits to handle the cold. Any remotely beneficial recessive gene would quickly replace dominant alleles in the population.

Although I’m sure there was some genetic adaptation, I’d argue it was more technological advancement. The northernmost tribe discovers a better make of clothing, or a better housing structure and suddenly the colder winters farther north are now tolerable so people settle there. The new northern tribe refines their technology and knowledge and now that they know how to… ice fish or something they have a winter food source, and now their descendants can settle even farther north.

Just be aware that the Gemini is rather limited in the logic department, even as chat bots go.

Had A beer. One. Within 30 to 45 minutes I was throwing up everything I had eaten since I was 12. Was sick for 3 days.

Turns out, my liver doesn’t have the enzymes to correctly process alcohol.

Wow, I’ve never heard of that before.

It wasn’t “Stab it VR” right?

Okay, hypothetically let’s imagine someone who is a Bitcoin trading god. Every peak he’s there unloading his bags, every dip and he’s buying hundreds of Bitcoins. This guy turns thousands into millions and millions into billions. Huge success story right?

But here’s the rub, where is all this money coming from? The money isn’t coming out of thin air, it’s not coming from the crypto exchanges, otherwise they’d go bankrupt, it’s not coming from the value of any goods or services produced. The answer is that all that money is coming from other people. Someone has to be buying at the peak thinking it’ll go “To the moon” and getting burned, or maybe the need to pay off some hackers cryptolocker. The same for the dip maybe someone needs real money right now and must sell despite the loss, or maybe someone is panic selling thinking the price will go lower. Our hypothetical trading god hasn’t really created any money or anything of value at all, they’ve just moved money from the losers in the Bitcoin to his own wallet.

This makes you the equivalent to one of the spokespeople from near the top of a pyramid scheme taking about how this is one of the legit pyramid schemes, because you’ve earned so much money! Ignoring of course that all of their money means that someone somewhere needed to lose that money first.

However, I suppose at the end of the day, you did take twenty four thousand dollars from crypto morons, so I suppose that’s kinda noble in a way.

Wow, that’s bad. I thought it would be more of a “confusing a sentence for a similar sounding one” type thing but from the above and the article it’s just generating semi-believable text and sticking them into the transcriptions.

Well most of human management can’t be held accountable (unless they step on the toes of someone above them) so honestly, what would be the difference?

I was thinking about that a while back. There’s got to be some sort of upper limit to collecting data being useful. I mean at some point it becomes more economical to just buy the data from one other thousands of companies data mining phones rather then going to all the trouble of building and maintaining your own data mining app.

It’s probably better then the days old garbage they usually scavenge. And I cut off the moldy part too.

I bought one of those vegan Spam-a-likes and I have to say I really didn’t like it.

I my thought process was “Spam’s so heavily processed, how much worse could it be if no meat were involved?” the answer turned out to be “A lot.” I don’t know how to describe it. It’s like… you know how there are all beef hot dogs, but they don’t taste anything like beef? It was kinda that but with Spam… but Spam isn’t very meat like to begin with.

All that being said, after the plant based Spam sat in my fridge until it started to get fuzzy, I threw it out for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Despite the fact I found it to be quite unappealing, starving alley cats found it to be meat like enough to eat it… which I guess is a mark in it’s favor?

That’d make sense.

Any idea what the binary tat is supposed to say? I get “Poeira” from a binary to ASCII converter, which is apparently “Dust” in Portuguese. But that seems kinda an odd choice to have tattooed on yourself in binary.

Visiting the corpse of Twitter was your first mistake

My response is usually “Sure, I can always use an alibi!”

That’s what gets me about that episode, sure the “Warp 10 turns you into a giant salamander” is weird and the whole “Canonically Janeway and Paris have had freaky salamander sex” is kinda strange.

However, when the crew of the Voyager discover that maybe sentient salamanders that are descended from humans have just been introduced into a alien planet they just go “Huh, weird.” and just leave them. They just introduced a species that is not only foreign to the planet but the whole freaking universe. They could track down Salamander Janeway and Paris from orbit, maybe they should spend a week or two trying to capture the sala-babies instead of going, “Welp they crawled into a pool they’re gone forever now”

Honestly, I really hate glowing keyboards I go out of my way to avoid them. Same with fans and cases with a LED lightshow built in.

The problem is that it’s so hard to find components that constantly don’t glow all the time. Even my computer has a LED fan in it, because it was all I could find for cheap. Fortunately it’s a old “metal box” type case so except for a vent on the side the glow is almost unnoticeable… but occasionally when the rooms dark I’ll see the slight glow seeping out and get annoyed all over again that a tiny fraction of the power my PC is using is for lighting up a closed box.
