Your optimism about that is inspiring but one bad solar flare, some sea cables or a pissed off dictator/billionaire can shrink the world real quick. SneakerNETs anyone?

This is a fantastic read and a great explanation of how this can happen. You've come a long way and made it out the other side.

A slow car in the fast lane actually moved over with three cars behind him the other day. I couldn't believe it.

Fun fact about the Air Wolf helicopter. After filming the TV show, it was used for rescue operations where it later crashed and killed everyone on board in 1992. Okay, maybe not so fun fact...

The problem is where you said "as long as" because we already know companies AND the AI itself can't be trusted to not expose sensitive info inadvertently. At absolute best, it's another vector to be breached.

"The market" (stocks) has been and will continue to be divorced from reality but to play devil's advocate, Tesla and it's investors consider it "more than just a car company". It's still ridiculous, but that's the market for ya.

While odd looking to some of us, they were actually right. That's 56,000 "millions" or 56,000 x 1,000,000 = 56 billion. A mind blowing amount of cash.

Whatever the hell this song is supposed to be. The more you watch, the weirder it gets.

I just listened to the Commentary track (main cast) on the Blu-ray the other day and it was excellent. Worth a rewatch for any fans.

I've found it pretty easy to avoid with a bit of curation but I understand they're a "necessary" evil that comes with every major user migration.

Yet, annoyingly, much of the press still uses it to disseminate news.

I understand journalism is in a rough spot these days and many are there against their will but something needs to change abruptly. This slow exodus is too slow for democracy to survive '24.

World's Best doesn't either, they use a thicker, different material that cuts way down on dust. It doesn't quite clump as well as others but it's close enough for me.
