In addition, thanks to shifting climate conditions in the Americas, we may be able to grow them easily en masse within U.S. borders. Take that tariffs!

AI users are the slave class raising their hands. Look upon them appropriately.

No, the children died because they were infected, NOT because we didnâ(TM)t have something to fight that infection.

Antibiotics are a boon to be used when needed for those who can afford it, the rest of the world needs to rely on their natural born immune system.

Quit thinking because we CAN avert some tragedies that we can avert them all. The problem begins before any scientists get involved with antibiotics.

How about instead you invest in clean living areas for the children?

What kind of crack addled moron thinks a $600 phone is a stripped down phone? That's at least a factor of 10 more than a phone should cost in the first place - smart or otherwise. Jesus Christ kids these days.

You don't need to spend a dime to not answer your phone. You don't need to spend a dime to not doom scroll whatever social site you stupidly got yourself addicted to. You don't need to spend a dime to NOT use technology.

Accept (or don't) that I'm dealing with some saltiness this morning, but you get the point.

Iâ(TM)ll let the sales numbers over a decade out do the talking on the reach and impact the game has.

Many games are groundbreaking in different ways, but thatâ(TM)s not the question being asked.

Even now publishers everywhere are hoping Rockstar hits the $100 price point with GTA 6, gamers are hoping it doesnâ(TM)t got bogged down with social and political bullcheese, and all eyes are on the upcoming release. GTA 5 did that.

I am so glad we get this news after we get a fully trustworthy, unbiased, and beyond reproach administration in place.

I am glad we can all rest easy now.

Having over three decades of experience, both hardware and software engineering support in the military, aerospace, financial and Fortune 50 companies, Iâ(TM)m always amused at the volume of humans whichb have this absurd faith in technology.

Faith in every aspect of the technological tools which fail, in both minor and catastrophic ways on a daily basis. Iâ(TM)ve watched billions in imaginary value come and go due to âoopsiesâ(TM).

Yes, we can certainly get a lot of things to work a lot of the time, but even if AI was flawless in functionality, design, and bias, only those truly foolish would delegate important decision making to it.

It can, however, excel at making cute cat videos & mindless entertainment.

I wish FanDuel would offer betting options on which companies make the most catastrophic AI decisions. That would be fantastic fun.

Those are the only two reasons I can think of which might cause me to put faith in AI.

Theyâ(TM)ll catch a lot of suckers though.

Gapping plugs and timing lights, what's not to love? :)

I'd buy that car.

I wouldn't trust others on this one, you need to go watch more porn yourself to find out.

Machine before man. Does your God approve?

The only one I have experience with is Minecraft: Story Mode thanks to my son stumbling on it. It played (from what I could tell) indentically to the PC game version of it. Plays a cutscene, gives you a timer to choose A or B or C with your TV remote, then goes on to the appropriate cutscene, until you work through the whole story. Different choices give you different cutscenes, but eventually you end up in the same place - the end of the story.

I assume they're all variations of Telltale Studios games, based on my one encounter with them.

I am not entirely sure I support this style of carbon capture mechanisms, as all they seem to do is introduce something which competes with plants without providing any of the other benefits which plants do, but introducing costs in complex manufacturing among others. This latest crystalline powder which looks like it pulls 100% of CO2 out of the air is basically a suffocation based defoliant. I'd prefer a solution which doesn't open an avenue of attack on the human food chain.

I've bought music on every format which has existed except reel to reel, and you know what. I couldn't give a donkey's fart whether or not any of it was properly licensed, or if rights holders are recognized in any way. After the performing artists are compensated, the rest can piss off.

I hope every individual on both sides of that "conflict" gets ass cancer and dies in their own shit for making me aware that profiteers are having a lovers spat.
