I have a recent newborn and I keep thinking that when he’s like 15 or so and starting to learn about world politics he’s not going to believe me that the United States was want to major world player. He is going to think I am lying to him. It would be like your parents trying to tell you that Africa was once a United country and had the largest military on the planet. Looking at it now it wouldn’t be believable.

I’d actually put good money on this not happening. Russia isn’t really geared up to deliver oil like that they’re all about the pipelines.

Also whatever tankers they do send will have to get past if fleet of pissed off European fleets. Remember countries like Estonia went through some relatively severe economic hardship in order to sanction Russia, and then the United States comes along and does a deal with Russia to save themselves from a war that they started. Perhaps maintaining good relations with the United States is no longer worth it? I could totally see an oil tanker getting bordered.

Surely if I offload work tasks onto someone else then I would achieve the same effect? I don’t think this is AI exclusive.

It’s not a copy of adobe’s code, it’s all new code that’s simply implements the same features. So Adobe releasing a new version won’t have any effect.

I’m sure that’s going to last a long time. This isn’t about solving the fuel crisis this is about giving Russia some money.

Just make sure to attack during the nations two and a half hour long lunch break.

That’s still leaves you dependent on a corporation. I prefer a world where they no longer exist because it isn’t economically viable anymore.

I’m reasonably confident that isn’t an original image

It’s the same with humans and bubble wrap.

The pretty common one is to have infrared LEDs shining on the plate. Humans can’t see the light but cameras can and it blinds them. It’s worth noting that it’s illegal, and if the police catch you doing it they’ll arrest you just for that. I’m not sure how much help that is, but then again, any technique that blocks the cameras from reading your plate is likely considered illegal.

Yeah but PJs are sexy. If she is comfortable wearing pyjamas around me that’s great in my opinion. I’m unclear about how exactly this is supposed to be something I would be turned off by, and why that is therefore “a filter”.

Yep I’ll get right on that. Sex change operation might have to wait until Monday though.

I swear some women are as clueless about men as men are about women. I’m sure huge amount of this is because schools insist that sexed is gender separated.

Why is wearing glasses and pyjamas supposed to be a turn-off?

You know when women go on about how they have to have a different dress for every party, it is literally only women the care. Men aren’t going to even notice if you’re wearing the same thing two dates in a row. The catty comments come from other women. As a man I don’t have nice clothes, I just have clothes. If we’re going on a date I’m just going to be wearing clothes, I don’t have special items that I only wear on a date so I am really not going to mind if you don’t either.

Also it’s a pretty transparent desperate attempt at some attention, and the internet’s natural response whenever anybody does something like that, is to deny it.

That’s my IKEA shopping list sorted then

The fact that Donald Trump has an MBA really should invalidate the entire qualification.

That’s because everyone’s managers are idiots it seems like you have to be an idiot before you’re allowed to be manager if you show any kind of gumption you’re automatically disqualified from applying. Every IT tech the world over has almost certainly attempted to explain to their bosses that this is an introductory offer, and Microsoft, or Anthropic or whatever AI company they were going with, will absolutely raise prices later on. Signing into a subscription you cannot afford to get out of, is an financially irresponsible decision.

They were all ignored. Of course they were ignored, managers who can barely operate a mouse always know better than their dedicated IT support teams with a combined knowledge of over a hundred years in the industry. Fact of nature.

Hopefully a bunch of businesses will now fail, people will realize that reliance solely on an AI is a bad idea, and if you insist on using an AI, relying on a subscription AI is an extra stupid double plus bad idea, and then perhaps we can move back to some kind of normality, and then I can buy a freaking graphics card.
