And those ‘blossom-thingies’ are called … flowers.

Citing Xitter posts as sources. Indefensible.

And once they do that then they are basically admitting that AI is overvalued and they overinvested in it and wildly overspent.

Their own terms of service state that AI is “for entertainment purposes only”. They’ve really over-invested in and over-committed to something that just an entertainment novelty.

Not all horse girls have ‘daddy’s money’.

Sometimes, that’s what they’re looking for from you.

6 years and counting since I last could abbreviate Brennan Lee Mulligan without causing mild confusion.

Just wait until you hear about the Bureau of Land Management.

Bet your commanding officer is starting to look pretty tasty right about now…

This might just be for you.

Google personalizes search results based on what it knows about you. And if it knows you’re on the fediverse, then it might be more likely to show you more fediverse results when you search for something.

Try it from a public library computer or some other computer you’ve never used before, and I doubt you’ll see as many fediverse results, if any.

Their user agreements and disclaimers shouldn’t be able to so easily shield them from any and all liability. (And they probably already can’t, if existing law was enforced fairly.)

How the fuck do you get from ‘it needs to be civilly liable for what it does’ to “they need a corporate-owned centralized government controlling any information they may speak or receive”?

You’re hearing the extremist BS you want to hear, and you’re arguing with that, not with what anyone is actually saying.

AI doesn’t need to be banned.

It just needs to be civilly liable for medical malpractice and practicing medicine without a license.

1312 is getting pretty close in some circles, though.

It achieves invading customer privacy.

Oh, and selling a lot of their scanner-ball hardware things. Because now anybody who ever buys tickets to any concert or any other live event will now also need to buy one of those little fuckers.

Ah, I see. Socialism is when the market operates fairly…

It sounds absurd, sure…

But you know, for a vanlife car-camping sort of vehicle, it could actually be a really good space-saving feature.

remain Trump supporters

So they think he staged an assassination attempt on himself (which resulted in the death of an innocent bystander, by the way), and they still support him?

That begs the question, though – why hasn’t the person behind it tried again since then?

Someone with the motivation and the resources to do this once could try it again.

Doing a shot like that reliably would be beyond the capability of any marksman.

There are, perhaps, some out there who could do it most of the time, but I don’t think there’s a single one ever who could count on it as a 100% thing.

Modern web designers: “Nope. Best I can do is ‘You must enable Javascript to view this webpage.’”

When one of your political grift buddies owns a business that builds roundabouts…

Or just keep voting against whatever justice Trump nominates, until time runs out.

This one? Nope.

This one? Nope.

This one? Nope.

This one? Nope.

This one? Nope.

And just repeat that until Trump is out of office and no longer able to nominate justices.
