Until LLMs can build their own power plants and prevent humans from cutting electricity cables I’m not gonna lose sleep over that. The people running them are doing enough damage already without wanting to shut them down when they malfunction… ya know like 20-30% of the time.

It may not have been protestors. The FBI is known to send in people to protests to cause trouble so law enforcement has an excuse to escalate.

I just assume the government is behind almost all of the escalation including this kind of shit. It’s absolutely a part of their playbook whether this particular incident was them or not. They can’t be trusted and they fight dirty from a position of power.

The most important thing is to protect your mental health so you can function and be resilient.

Being informed on the chaos of the world is far behind that in the priority list. The radius you can impact is tiny compared to the rest of the world and the constant feed of atrocities you get hit with every day. And you don’t have unlimited attention to spend. Focus on what’s around you and making that better. The rest is, for the most part, noise that you have no control over whatsoever.

Neither of those things are marketed as being artificially intelligent.

Yeah . We might be the first generation that’s objectively correct when we say things used to be better.

I was just gonna go with “Who gives a shit?” but you put it better.

Have you been weezin’ da juice?

I’m an American so I don’t understand why you haven’t just put a couple 30 round mags through the wall with your AR-15?

Why do you avoid them?

I don’t use them. Or screen protectors . I take good care of my devices, and my phone gets its own pocket always, so no scratches. I’ve only broken 1 phone in my life and it was only the back glass on an iPhone 4, which slipped off my motorcycle seat because that fucking phone was frictionless.

Moved to Colorado.

I took the networking TCP/IP fundamentals class for my first MCSE in 99, and the instructor wouldn’t shut up about how IPv4 would be replaced within 5 years.

Historically speaking, about 6.6m square miles.

THAT is news, thank you! And it makes me sick. I stand by my point that the article was pointless because it never tried to make a point linking what you posted. That would have been worth reading.

Let me introduce you to the concept of discussion boards where we post our reactions to things.

I did not indict OP, I was critical of the author.

Holy shit who gives a fuck. So many things to talk about of substance in today’s politics and they wrote a multi page article about the guy turning right on a red light.

edit: I would like to clarify I am not yelling at OP for posting this, I am angry at the author of the article for wasting my time.

Microsoft marketing is the epitome of “fuck up, move up”, I’m convinced. I’m so glad I’m retired and don’t have to deal with any of that bullshit anymore.

They should work on getting it right for their own stuff, first.

Pretty good opinion, NGL.
