What a strong work of art Dune is, after all

The USA is doing all they can to discredit the USA

the US didn’t spend 1.8 trillion on infrastructure, and China didn’t spend 1.7 trillion on military

How much did they spend then?

Liking the government doesn’t imply having a democracy, though. And also thinking that you have a democratic country doesn’t mean that you do live in one

It’s not that China bad, it’s more that China is good at creating great conditions for a majority of their citizens, but this doesn’t imply that it’s heaven on earth, still

Even if I had my own, I wouldn’t carry it across country for a visit of a few days, but I did rent in such a case more than once.

It’s really more about unenforced safety rules, people sometimes drive like crazy and they always do that on the scooters they own, because rental have a speed limit

Makes sense. Also agree on the last part

Absolutely, and although they did re-invent Fogbank, it took almost 100 millions, makes me wonder what would it cost to keep the knowledge from disappearing in the first place

For me the comment is still there, weird

You totally can. But it’s better than thorn by a lot

I am left wondering if you mean human-CEO or LLM-CEO here

Probably not, but I also never seen MM used for millions, usually just M as opposed to k used for thousands

Be the change you want to see

That would make for a very unpredictable result, and even as someone who is not that much into wine, I would advise against doing that

Yeah, everyone is outraged at being a product when using free services, but then also outraged at paid ones.

I’m a bit suspicious of how they want to implement scoring, I feel like it’s either going to be gamed by users or rigged by owners, but otherwise it looks fine as an idea and as a replacement for xitter

In general, yes

In this case it’s more like if everyone is selling eggs $1/egg, but the tag shows the price based on the last transaction, so when someone buys an egg for $10 you suddenly increase everyone’s worth ten times. If they start selling the price may collaps faster than they can sell

Maybe it was some kind of sarcastic jab, but I don’t really understand the point either

Or the pigeon can be the drone itself, what a wonderful world it is

I like his art, and have been reading his comics before AI flood, but one thing I find very annoying now that I didn’t notice before: AI slop tends to draw characters staring intently at nothing, completely missing an object they are supposed to look at, so now it irks me whenever I see that even if it’s a human made art. Edit: and to be fair, here the character looks at a parrot instead of painting, which is valid but feels off at a first glance, maybe I just need to go touch some dry grass left. end edit

Same thing to a lesser extent for when a character does an action like chopping a PC monitor with an axe, but it looks like a slap instead, which I also have seen made by humans. I get it, action poses are hard, it’s just now I’m more sensitive to those because of all the slop 😩

Frankly, it looks like nobody making decisions is doing that based on numbers anymore, and if that’s a case, it is definitely happening based on vibes.

Or not, if something new and shiny captures their attention before that.

That makes sense, but this might also take a long time
