US style open corruption is illegal in the UK and the EU isn’t it?

That said I don’t trust them, I’m just saying if we want to rail against the thing, we should know exactly what the thing is.

Anecdotally, ProtonVPN’s servers have had a jump in usage percentage since this shit started, particularly in the Netherlands.

I guess the trusted processor would be the state authority that already has all your data.

That said, I think it’s a solution looking for a problem. IDC if 14 year olds jack off to Pornhub, I rather care about 54 year olds being swindled by Meta to destroy our democracy. What did we do after Cambridge Analytica?

If you like the old-school top-down GTA feel, American Fugitive is super cheap now and is a good-ish game. Same dev has The Precinct, which is top-down GTA but you’re playing a cop.

The story is not a strong point with either, but if you need that, go to a different genre.

And there is also Rustler, which is ridiculously fun.

I also loved Simpsons Hit and Run, but that’s a bit old and IDK how indie was it.

People don’t realise GTA is a British franchise

No banking apps or NFC payments.

I get you. I feel that way about most news I consume these days.

The revenue is still less than that of Clash of Clans or Candy Crush. And it is mostly coming from the companies involved in the shell game as well.

Companies, totally.

The only country it might take down is actually the US, as it might be the spark to start some shit in the current tense environment. I mean that I could see the bubble pop be Franz Ferdinand to a 2 Civil 2 War.

I agree, and the actual real implication in the article sounds just as bad as the headline, so I feel it’s a clickbait machine editor who did this.

The claim BTW is that OpenAI is alleging that random people criticising them are actually in a conspiracy with Elon Musk (the actual person involved in a lawsuit with OpenAI) to discredit them, and the court is humouring this nonsense by subpoenaing random people’s private messages.

And the reason they were actually cut is because monopolists raised prices so that inflation would drive up interest rates, killing competition and labour power, leading to consolidation of the monopolies and fewer jobs and less competition overall.

Oh, I’ve got one too, the way you pronounce SX7 as in the Suzuki model in Hungarian literally means “falls apart”, “esik szét”.

Also Tesco was selling cheap power tools for a while branded Kinzo, meaning “torturer” in Hungarian.

I stand corrected. Thanks.

Is there a way to avoid this being directly passed on to tenants?

MS hasn’t released an Office version outside 365 for 8 years.

365 is Office for them.

The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn’t be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He’d be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.

I don’t think world capitalism has seen a crisis like this one yet to be honest. Local ones, sure, the owner class is class conscious in the global sense so they pull each other up and push us down if they can. The US itself however has not seen a crisis at this level ever, and I’m not even talking about Trump, but the Reagan-Thatcher world order collapsing and the current batch of shitheads not being able to set the new one up.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

That is true, but it was a term narrowly and incoherently used by scientists. In fact, that one paper used it, and it took ten years for it to be picked up again, again by just a few academic papers. Even the academic community preferred terms like “strong AI” before the current hype.

AGI was not a term that was used to refer to a concept, it had to be explained by each and every article that mentioned it, it was not a general term that had a strict meaning attached to it. It was brought to that level by Google/Deepmind employees two years ago, and then got into the place where every second Medium article is buzzwording around with it when it became a corporate target for OpenAI/Microsoft.

AGI itself has been made up as a marketing term by LLM companies.

Let’s not forget that the official definition of AGI is that it can make 200 billion dollars.

Not saying Biden wasn’t a war criminal and a mass murderer or anything. More like, Biden had at least some shame at being one.
