Most boondoggles don’t burn trillions of dollars. AI is starting to hit a wall already because there just isn’t any more money. It’s why there’s this desperate push to go public even though their financials are a dumpster fire.

You get games that are several hundred gigabytes these days - high resolution art assets are big.

Filling up a 1TB drive is easy. 100TB, yeah, that’s a lot of space.

Don’t count bytes, look at what they can store: 1TB will hold like four to eight recent AAA games.

Blockchain is a really interesting technology that has almost no actual use cases, which is kind of amazing in its own way.

You don’t really want any more battery than absolutely necessary strapped to your face. Put a power bank in your pocket for longer sessions.

Yes it’s a paid service, but that means that their customers aren’t businesses buying ads and user data. You aren’t the product, you’re the customer, so Kagi focuses on providing what you want.

Don’t want AI? Just turn it off and you’ll never see it again.

Samsung is awful at software. Samsung phones for some reason insist on replacing Google or even basic Android apps with their own worse versions.

I mean, they aren’t actually remembering reasons, they’re coming up with reasons after the fact.

Do they think gas is going to be cheaper next week?

Whisper hallucinates on silence and music (“Thanks for watching!”, or the Japanese equivalent).

I’ve had Whisper ask me to donate to anime fansubbing groups. I wonder what it was trained on?

Don’t forget all the data centres they’re on the hook for to support demand that isn’t there. As they come online, the operators are going to expect to be paid.

The slop pushers have a bunch of spending commitments that aren’t technically loans. But they’ll still come due.

It seems like they deliberately made characters that nobody would ever make porn of and it never occurred to them that bland, boring characters would be a problem.

“Do you need anything?”

“Peace and quiet.”

For some reason people laughed as though I made a joke.

There’s nothing preventing Linux from giving online services a random age. Being exempt from the law just means we don’t have to implement real age verification.

Closing the strait of Hormuz has done a lot to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles.

Not necessarily - he isn’t bright enough to be that consistent. Sometimes he does something okay like a blind man playing darts will occasionally hit the dartboard.

What about if we silently upload your files from your documents folder to OneDrive and replace them with links to the OneDrive copy, so that they stop working if you ever delete OneDrive?

Looks like a Gentoo install. Set the hard disk up ready for use, put some Gentoo files on it, switch to running from the hard disk instead of the install CD or USB stick, download more Gentoo stuff, compile and install a Linux kernel.

Assuming you’re not talking about the one with three languages and a continue button, if you don’t get that one I can’t really help you.

This. Adblock glasses were never going to come from a company that gets a lot of it’s revenue from ads.

I would have loved glasses that could detect advertising with a camera and block it out so I don’t see it, but instead we got AI nudes and stalking.

There’s a good chance they had information on him, but they got it illegally and needed to ‘accidentally’ discover the same information during a ‘random’ search and now they’re butthurt because it didn’t work.
