In countries where they want boys a lot more than girls, that glass belly would dramatically increase abortions instead.

Received his order for this at Mar-a-Lago no doubt

I thought it was called Hawaii

And much of the crime fighting is blue collar crime. On general the superheroes don’t touch white collar criminals.

TL;DR: “We can’t say what exactly it does, but we’re gonna add it.”

If that isn’t the best endorsement of their new tech. Personally the only AI function I want is skipping ads and I’m pretty sure that one will not be available.

Any superhero movie is problematic. They all say that only a few special people can save the country and the world. The rest of the population just has to hold tight and let the important people do their thing. It’s just a small step by replacing powers with wealth to give the rich carte blanche to do as they please.

And McDonald’s countered with a statement Pricing Myths vs Facts where they compared 2019-2024 prices where the original study the infographic is based on compared 2014-2024 prices. A little FUD seasoning if your will to make it all look less bad.

That’s the same company that countered their wages being too low to live on by producing an example budget to show how you can survive with only a McDonald’s job. The first line in the budget is income from the first and second job. They costs are even more laughable today.

Governments are probably a bit hesitant to go that route after a few pages like that got hacked and ended up full of Russian propaganda.

Social media has a very good ratio of information spreading versus effort required. It’s also why it’s a popular thing for misinformation and influence campaigns.

In contrast, if a government agency wants to make a website for this, it probably needs a proposal, budget request, approval by a commission, a bidding process, and other bureaucatic procedures put in place by politicians that wanted to lower spending.

And the equivalent of dukes and earls traveling to Mar-a-lago to pledge fealty.

It’s the owning class. They’re always treated differently from the wiring working class. Reminds me of history in Europe where the noble families ruled. Often these families were more inbred than any Southern stereotype ever was, and intellectual faculties to match, but they were the bosses. It’s also why every fairy tale starts with a beautiful princess to let you know it was fiction as in reality most princesses were inbred horrors.

They figure ports and IP addresses that link or distribute wares can be globally blocked and that will solve their problem.

Politicians finally figured out that everything not encrypted or with a backdoor is the same as giving everything to Chinese or Russian spies in a silver platter. It’ll take very large piles of money now.

It’s worse. The industry needs to entrench LLM and other AI so that after the bubble bursts it’s so grafted info everything can’t easily be removed, so afterwards everybody still needs to go past them and pay a buck.

Basically it’s like a tick that needs to dig in deep now so you can’t get rid of it later.

Widow maker trees are a thing

Human brains also do processing of audio, video, self learning, feelings, and many more that are definitely not statistical text. There are even people without “inner monologue” that function just fine

Some research does use LLM in combination with other AI to get better results overall, but purely LLM isn’t going to work.

There are already a few papers about diminishing returns in LLM.

Within the billionaire bubble there was a lot of hype. Outside of that, not so much.

A new platform to colonize, gathering info on what people were looking at in the virtual world and selling that to advertising made their wallets go very erect.
