There’s only one in my country AFAIK and he’s not even from here, just registered here for tax purposes.

Regardless, i would recognize him in the street. And I wouldn’t be the only one.

Haha holy shit it evolved!

I liked the sound they made. People have been using them to make music for ages. Best is still imperial march played on 48 floppy drives (or thereabouts).

This is (one of) the real reason the West always acquisces to Israel, although Israel will call it a fairy tale.

Is that because it’s too old to be updated? Never had an ipad or iphone, so I genuinely have no clue.

Don’t take any wooden buckazoids!

Every so many years I fire up a King’s Quest or Space Quest.

“Study: cats indifferent to fairtrade origins of their food. Are cats secretly evil?”

It isn’t even safe today, but people still do it.

Even at the basest level of society that we might fall back to, there will be a need for stores of great value in order to make larger trades. You can’t effectively trade large scale without it. Which might not be relevant right after a full system failure, but definitely afterwards.

So much FUD and complete misinformation here. Gold, first and foremost, is a store of value and a hedge against inflation. It’s a terrible investment. That said, if you bought 10k worth of gold 5 years ago, you would now have 20k. Which is obviously a higher return than most savings products or some actual investments.

It’s a hell of a lot safer than BTC and if society does collapse, it will absolutely retain its value.

I don’t feel important enough for that. Same reason I’m not religious. People claiming a personal relationship with the goddamn creator of the universe are hella conceited.

It was a bit more involved than “advertisements”. It was a targeted psyop. Cfr Cambridge Analytica.

As long as we can’t even define sapience in biological life, where it resides and how it works, it’s pointless to try and apply those terms to AI. We don’t know how natural intelligence works, so using what little we know about it to define something completely different is counterintuitive.

Oh man, cloud to butt. I once installed that on a coworker’s computer he had left unlocked. Took him months to catch on. Also, it apparently changed “cloud” to “butt” in posts and emails as well… oops.

Respect o7

Likewise, if you receive one titled “Corona”, it’s a virus.

I’m willing to bet it had more to do with level of inebriation than suicidality.

I see one of the architects of our destruction, I upvote for visibility.

Hmm, I’ve always hated the taste unless it’s very subtle. Different strokes.
