No one told him he didn’t need to both act and look like a cartoon villain.

What a sign of the times that the richest man alive is a lottery winner who’s just cribbing everything from science fiction and there’s millions of people who think he’s a genius.

Christophe Stove, a toxicologist at the University of Ghent in Belgium, argued that this predictive work could help shorten the life span of dangerous new drugs by getting them declared illegal more quickly and perhaps discouraging their production.

LIsten you dunce, that’s the problem in the first place and the article states as much earlier, as soon as one of these drugs becomes illegal something else, probably more dangerous, pops up. The only smart move is legalization, education and harm reduction because otherwise it’s just a cat and mouse game until the end of time. You will not get drugs away from people, people love drugs, always have. Animals love drugs too. It’s natural to like drugs.

Also, drug recipes have been on the internet since the Usenet days, there have been massive forums dedicated to it in the last 90s and early 2000s and probably still, the only thing that is actually NEW is the ability to move around massive amounts of money with CRYPTO, which in turn makes it very attractive to frauds and grifters.

Sorry for her loss :(

Been about the same here as well, I mean to me graphics have been good enough since like PS2 since I started with a Commodore 64, so everything else has just been icing on the cake. I never really got into online gaming either so that was never a draw. I suppose I see gaming as something like a momentary escape, so I prefer games with colorful, fantastic graphics and not necessarily photo realistic renders, so the constant push for more polygons has largely been not so important for me.

Tell you what, I’m going to start bringing an ultra powerful magnet anywhere I go when these things are live, I’ll be damned if I’m going to be killed by someone’s fucking robot security dog, I’ll brick every one I can.

Sure sure, right after the mars colony right?

I’ve got like 30 years worth of PC parts laying around, I’m sure I can cobble something together 😁 sometimes it pays to be a packrat.

I literally said to my mom yesterday “this isn’t the America that I was sold growing up.”

🙏

There’s literally enough in my PC backlog for the rest of my life probably, don’t need another new console, game or graphics card, ever.

Ah thanks :)

I don’t even know german, just think it’s hilarious how nonchalant he is.

Between this shit company and AI, I feel like it’s high time to take back the arts and humanities. Go see some local bands or something, we shouldn’t be paying multinational corporations exorbitant amounts of money that they can then use for political donations just to see our favorite band, it’s not worth it.

The problem is I’m cool with total silence all the time and not many people are into that, people seem to like to talk.

Just when I start wearing my dark rimmed glasses again these things get popular, now I have to buy new glasses, because they look too much like these and I don’t want to be mistaken for wearing them, I feel like I already have, I hate everything.

People shouldn’t wear glasses unless they need them, you don’t need a HUD for life you fucking dorks.

Seriously, if it’s in your budget go check out your local Symphony

That’s the problem with symphonys, they are priced for rich folks. No normal person is going to go pay $200 for lousy seats one night at the symphony. I wanted to go see Back to the Future with live symphony last summer and it was more than that, insane.

So they have this nice 3D card, which they had a hand in inventing and “perfecting” to render the entire 3D scene in beautiful, stunning detail, and then another card with AI instructions that totally ignores all of that just happened, takes a screenshot and puts a filter on it in real time basically. What a massive waste of power and computation.

Surely the what the world needs right now is more plastic.

Great, so then what? Another guy they don’t fuckin like comes in. It never ends.
