I just upgraded to the 9 and assume it’s scraping every bit of data it can from me. I will do it this weekend.

Sorry, no way I am going back to Samsung. I had the A71 and it was a TERRIBLE smart phone. I switched to the Pixel 6 and it was night and day.

I just need to get off my ass and install Graphene.

Beth makes the best stories.

Ooh, more baseless claims of China’s technological advancement.

I’ll file this in the bullshit folder with the rest of their bullshit claims.

Google has gotten so fucking dumb. Literally incapable of performing the same function it could 4 months ago.

How the fuck am I supposed to trust Gemini!?

I am turning 50 this year and laying in bed next to a woman who just cheated on me again.

I wish so fucking hard I could turn back time.

I parked my car in the garage, rolled down my window and went to sleep. I was shocked/disappointed I woke up when the car was running out of gas.

It sucks so fucking hard that you love this person and you have given so much, but then you realize they don’t feel the same about you and then realize you don’t even know who you are anymore.

Are you even someone without this person?

Take it day by day. You need to find out who you are again.

I’m sorry you don’t have support. No one to validate how you feel, help you heal.

Please stay strong. Please keep looking.

Please find yourself again.

Datamining is the reason every fucking second of our lives is monetized.

I only want to disagree about Facebook not monetizing private data in 2008.

My wife was in politics/campaign management. They were already selling fairly sophisticated targeted ads by then.

I was shocked/terrified by how well they were targeting and it wasn’t even close to what they have today.

FUCK CORPORATIONS.

No way they would have forgotten me.

Moved on, well, that’s life sometimes, but I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try to find my way back. I’m gonna see my little girls grow up if I have to divide by zero to make it happen.

Maybe he actually likes his job?

Yeah, I’d be spending my life trying to find a way back to my kids.

I do like the premise of your question though. If I didn’t have this family, it is a fun thought experiment.

X^3 = x•x•x

X^2 = x•x

X^1 = x

X^0 = 1

X^-1 = 1/x

X^-2 = 1/(x•x)

X^-3 = 1/(x•x•x)

When the exponent is between -1 and 1, it becomes a root function:

X^(1/2) = sqrt(x)

X^(1/3) = cubic root(x)

X^-(1/2) = 1/(sqrt(x))

X^-(1/3) = 1/(cubic root(x))

I don’t think anyone is going to disagree with you that the direction IBM execs were pushing the tech was terrible. I think this is a great example of how ego and narcissism can stifle innovation.

He was an industrial psychologist. He was trying to develope and fit the technology to a specific psyche. He couldn’t get them to learn/use the new technology, so he created an interface for them, that they could/would use.

It also shows how it seems business executives attitudes haven’t changed much, when it comes to ego and narcissism.

I don’t hate this idea.

Fuck AI, but fuck finance bros too. Dude’s have monetized fucking EVERYTHING and now it’s gonna be worse.

Love those tippy taps!

He takes credit for the sponsor’s donation. So I would argue it is worse.

To your argument, Kim Kardashian has actually helped people, she has helped get innocent people exonerated and released from prison.

I would argue her charitable work is VASTLY more substantial than Mr. Beasts’.

Having said that… They are both terrible people and the world would be a better place without either one of them. They are both absolute whores for attention and could have achieved the same amount of charitable service without throwing themselves in front of a camera for it. Arguably stealing attention away from the people that did the actual work.

People sure, but all the critters out there can see you juuuust fine.

Most of them don’t want anything to do with you though, so that’s ok.

But some of them… some of them are hungry…
