LOL.

There’s some “objective facts” in that guys memoirs aparently:

As Martin Cooper reveals in his new memoir Cutting the Cord: The Creator of the Cell Phone Speaks Out, cellular technology was actually being developed in the late ’50s and through the ’60s. By the time Star Trek debuted in 1966, Cooper and his team at Motorola were practically in the home stretch; in 1973, they debuted the first-ever handheld mobile telephone, the brick-like DynaTAC. Cooper himself made the first cell phone call on October 17, 1973—to his chief competitor at AT&T, with whom he’d been in a bit of a cellular space race, as revealed in the book

The article goes on to explain coopers role in the star trek myth.

Very obviously, handheld devices were inevitable and predictable in the 60s when ToS was written. That was my original point.

Did my guy p-stews just deliver this blessing on his way out the door?

Oh sorry, it’s just that you seemed to be saying that star trek changed the world by introducing the first concepts of tech we used today.

LOL. They’re just going to do the same thing in a different way once the commentary has died down.

Because Americans don’t care about this. Yes, fediverse users like posting “but what about the epstein files”, but I mean… there’s dozens of us. Everyone knows Trump is a child rapist harvesting the wealth of the US and no one cares. You can’t even agree to vote for an alternative.

Hey I love star trek as much as the next guy but this is a bit of an overstatement.

They didn’t invent anything, it’s just a portrayal of what the future might look like.

Some of it is very obvious and not much of a prediction: like a hand held device with sensors - but they did get the form factor and use cases completely wrong.

Most of it is obviously remains fictional, like transporters.

Sorry if you want to say trek predicted the future you have to ignore the majority of the show which they got completely wrong.

LOL. “Commitment to the rule of law”. I think that was ended a while back.

Sorry I just don’t have any faith that the dems will do that or that courts will apply the law.

Its so pathetic. All these cunts are the same. Real politicians just concede with grace.

They need to be declined use of the site and forced to pay for revegetation.

I think that’s the point. For Google billions is the cost of doing business. For the contractors it could be criminal negligence which means personal liability.

Some people do, and certainly those people are poorly informed.

Most people talking about the AI bubble are focussed on the gargantuan amounts of money being invested to build out datacentres, relying on the future value of inference.

As in, right now n inference tokens is worth $y.

Investment is occurring on the basis that in the future everyone will need n^x tokens.

The actual amount of x is the problem. If it’s less than investors are hoping, and it almost certainly is, then the bubble will pop and suddenly all that investment money is lost.

A catastrophic economic outcome.

However, you’re correct that the chatbots of today will survive the coming economic storm.

I’ve been using Redlib as a front end on a daily basis for the last year or so but it has stopped working because of the recent changes.

Although I spent a lot of time reading posts and comments there I haven’t missed it as much as I thought I would.

I’m not necessarily convinced that it was malicious by everyone involved, but certainly some.

Basically every single person in the chain just slow walked it, with the exception of Jack Smith who was focused on doing a thorough unimpeachable job as a priority over a quick result.

Every other link was slow.

In this bizarre reality where stories like this fall flat, I guess you can just run the story again right before an election to motivate a few voters.

LOL.

Users. As soon as there’s enough MAUs to be worth manipulating, everyone will defederate, because we have not protection against this threat.

Hello Canadians! Australian here. Our shit is also fucked.

Its those fucking seppos.

Folders for things I use daily. For everything else I just search.

You might be overstating things.

They might lose some seats but not enough to put Trump in trouble.

Here we are in Australia looking down the barrel at another interest rate rise. Fuck this cunt.
