When did this happen? Citation, please.

You are aware that Joe Biden, while seemingly a nice enough guy, was wildly unpopular as a leader, including among the left? It was the Democrats, after all, who convinced him not to run for a second term.

What's being alleged here is closer to price fixing, which is also an antitrust violation. Hypothetically, let's say four major automakers got together and said, "We all know we have access to the latest in brake technology, but we collectively agree not to deploy it until two years from now," presumably for business reasons. That kind of collusion is illegal.

Everybody seems to be complaining ... although that's nothing new. Some people hate Gnome, others hate KDE.

So I ask you (everybody): Is anything good? Cuz we ain't gonna have the Year of the Linux Desktop without a UI. Do we all switch to Enlightenment?

Your comment is pants.

Surely you know that's an absurdly dismissive opinion? North Korea has the capacity to gain access to anything anyone else does, especially if it comes from China.

So you believe North Korea is using carefully trained models with guardrails and the instruction, never become Skynet?

Browser mode would remove all non browser features with a single setting

Wow, they sure have been putting in work adding features, I almost hate to ask for one more. But it really needs it. Can we get a browser mode?

It's not.

The iron hand is always wrong, No matter whose the ruling song. When Trump holds court or 'bama sat, The principle remains just that. In scarlet state or sapphire land, The same hard fist, the same command. So stop the quarrel, left or right, And stand against the tyrantâ(TM)s might.

That's just one of the ways it lies. Another is that a job building an AI data center is not a job, it's a gig. Also: "initial effects look positive" doesn't support the title, even if it were true, the job numbers are all jobs, not ai, it's one jobs report, not ai jobs, it's building on job statistics that carefully count people who have given up but would gladly return to the labor market if jobs were out there as not looking, ignores underemployment and undesirable gig work, layoffs "due to AI" are a lie as firms use the latest excuse, job listings are not jobs, and the economy is way bigger than this small number of openings. Money covers many blushes.

As a Californian, I definitely would NOT have voted for this had I been given the opportunity.

And yeah, we LITERALLY have campaign ads running now to the extent of, "Pedophile murderers are being released to the streets ... and Candidate X voted for it THREE TIMES!!!!"

Its an age bracket now. In three years the owned media will start pushing "accurate age information would have prevented this", in 10 years it will be a left vs right thing. In 15 it will pass, shoved into the back of a budget omnubus. This is the VERY OBVIOUS thin edge of a wedge. When identity infrastructure is standardized and normalized thats when the screws will start to tighten.

That one was yet another case of Ridley having a script, deciding it was good enough to start building sets and working on effects, and then constantly changing the script all the way up through editing. Whole subplots got dropped, characters who appeared in promo material just never showed up in the movie, character motivations stopped making sense, plot points were retroactively changed, etc. Prometheus suffered from the same problem, if not to an even greater degree. It's like those movies where everybody cries "studio interference!" ... only in Ridley's case, he's the one who interferes constantly with his own movies.
