I think that's his point.

Again, that's not forcing anything. That's even less so - you have to deliberately go to an AI application in that case.

Nobody's forcing you to use it. I didn't even know it was there until this article pointed it out, and when I tried it in Notepad it turned out to need an Office 365 subscription that I don't have. So by default I can't use it even if I want to use it.

Ooh, now's their opportunity to come back as a Fediverse instance!

I think the monkey's paw isn't done with Putin on this one yet, though. Trump's antics are cratering oil prices, which Russia absolutely depends on for survival. A drop in oil prices is one of the precipitating events for the end of the Soviet Union.

And just generally, Trump is random chaos, a monster that lots of people thought they could control but turns out to be unmanageable. He bites everyone around him eventually. Helping Trump get elected may have wrecked America but that's not going to save Russia.

I don't know of any "men only" instances, the fact that it's gender-specific is niche rather than the specific gender.

That conundrum already exists with the current system, though.

All well and good until my mom's wifi printer stops working again and I need to fix it over the phone. I'd rather like to have an AI agent figure that out for her and fix it itself.

Google recently opened their ecosystem up to find-my-device tags like this, they're available from providers like Chipolo. Last I heard they weren't very good yet because despite there being tons of Android phones around for them to work with they'd put some restrictions on them that made them ping less frequently.

They're also not GPS tags, they ping nearby Android phones via Bluetooth and the Android phones report their location to Google. But if you're worried about a bag being stolen (as opposed to, for example, being located if you're lost in the wilderness) then that might be enough.

Yeah. It's disheartening when obvious jokes like that are missed by so many.

No, he didn't. He said, effectively, that "second amendment freaks are Walking Dead fans." That does not imply the reverse, that "Walking Dead fans are second amendment freaks."

All pines are trees. Are all trees pines?
