Can you fault them though? Everywhere you turn you're being asked to tip or donate. Influencers and corporations constantly astroturf social media. The rise of LLMs has made it necessary to question every interaction that occurs virtually.

Honestly, I worry for the people who aren't cynical and how they're going to be deceived, manipulated, or straight up scammed.

I'll absolutely watch it, and if they tell a compelling story I will smile and shrug and not let it affect my enjoyment.

Ditto.

The Dune timeline in the books covers something like 20,000 from the beginning of interstellar space travel up to and through the Atreides dynasty and all it kicks off.

I believe Frank Herbert took the stance that once technology gets to that level, it remains static as there is little else to discover/develop.

Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

It's funny how hard it is for providers to get this concept. I feel we're about to enter the cycle where we see an uptick in mainstream piracy because the price is starting to outweigh the convenience and legality.

The healthcare industry has as much incentive as the financial industry to maintain a high security environment. Fines for exposing PHI can be astronomical if a large number of records are compromised.

This is a new cold war that we've been in for a while now. Government backed hacker groups from foreign nations are constantly targeting high profile organizations. Healthcare, Finance, and Government are three of the top targets.

Agreed. The form factor is right. AR technology will only reach the possibility of mass adoption when it can fit in/on the existing eye-glasses form factor.

This is still news worthy, but not "Front page" news worthy. Back in the newspaper days this would be sent to the back of the paper.

The person making billions is struggling to pay the officials off that enabled them to continue to make billions.

All who have tried to play the same "outrage" game as the Cheeto overlord have failed spectacularly.

I was thinking the same thing!
