I’m astounded there hasn’t been a legal case already where some AI customer service bot hallucinated and promised a customer a million dollars or something and they’re trying to claim it. Set that precedent and companies would be dropping those AI clankers right quick.

All the countries with big populations should pull out and the cup can be decided between the vatican and Andorra

Yeah I’ve seen a few things pop up over the past year indicating the election was possibly stolen to install the current fascist. Doesn’t give me much hope for the midterms

I don’t think many empires just gradually lose power without a bunch of suffering involved.

日 is sun and 本 is origin (in this case), which lines up with the western moniker for Japan as the land of the rising sun.

Also I’d say that goodbye is a decent enough translation for sayonara. I can’t remember the last time I said goodbye in English (instead of bye or see you), and seems almost as formal and final as farewell, which seems almost outdated at this point. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually used that in my entire life.

That would’ve been great. I don’t think I was aware of emulators until well after I’d stopped using floppies though. Looks like the first widespread emulator was iNES in 96 and then Nesticle in 97, though apparently someone made a very early Famicom one in 1990!

At least they call Germany “doitsu”

Still remember my friend making a copy of doom 2 for me using pkzip… I think it took about 10 disks.

I’m almost surprised pedo elon didn’t make literally everything touch screens in his death traps, right down to the brakes and steering

If only reporters had balls: “You haven’t heard about X giant thing the president did? Doesn’t that make you dogshit at your job?”

Hm, the last thread on this article went off the rails because of one person supporting genital mutilation. Let’s see how this one does

They still need to legislate against the algorithms these companies use. It’s not like adults aren’t immune to this shit. But a blanket ban for teens is way easier to do than making laws against oligarchs, so here we are.

I heard that when R Lee Ermey shouted it in Full Metal Jacket

Reasoning: “Texas don’t like no women and don’t like no queers!”

Just update it to a genre subset: steamcraft punk (or functionpunk or some such)

Picard = best

later in life will only be able to produce the ones it learned in early life

Early years for speech (and a ton of other things) are extremely important, but humans can definitely learn new sounds. People study new languages and learn to correct speech impediments all the time.

Clutch your pearls harder

Did that change directly as a result of kirk? Pretty sure colbert got canceled before that, and firings of pro Palestinian voices predated it as well. People got louder but I don’t think anything materially changed.
