It's not as extreme but they have managed to normalise a President being involved in open corruption, so I wouldn't rule it out.

I wonder, did they have to do this when search engines became a thing 🤔

Feels like so much of the AI hype is smoke and mirrors to get investor money, give it another year everyone will be wondering how the bubble got so big and popped and how no one saw it coming.

That being said I don't think it's going away either, just that a lot of investor money is going to be lost chasing shadows.

Especially when you see some of the tech being rocked in Asian cities

The reality of funding is probably going to mean that open source is off the table.

I'm with you, Elon Musk is a life lesson into why key services such as internet or brain computer interfaces should not be in the hands on the few. Path seems set unfortunately as too much money is on the table.

Is there an open source equivalent then?

 

Should that work in this new community?

 

So I was at a seaside arcade over the past week. Spent some time spamming the 2p slots machines and tickets are firing out of this thing. Go to exchange these at the kiosk and notice that you can get quite a few domestic appliances on the back shelf (13,000 tickets for a toaster, £5 of 2p slots got me 80 tickets).

Are people actually skillful enough to game the system and win these over just going to Argos? Or do gambling addicts just collect tickets over time to exchange for a toaster after a few months as a consolation prize?

 

As a hypothetical, say it became easy to grab water from objects in space and then move it places that needed (Africa / the gulf). What would the end results be for the global climate over time? Would you just end up with a flooded earth? Would temperatures rise or fall as time goes on?
