Fixed it.

They're giving Orwell's Ministry of Truth a run for their money with that branding.

Glad they're focusing on the important function of hospitals.Thought they were going to say something crazy like, 'risking patients lives'!

Many of them aren't just old, they're not even people. The real user count is probably a lot lower.

He has some fair points, but the motivation for making them is pretty transparent. Getting rid of their fastest growing rival. Facebook's record on privacy and manipulating users to their own detriment is atrocious. They are the platform of choice for attempts to influence foreign elections or spread conspiracy theories and are happy to cooperate with the draconian policies of authoritarian countries to further their business across the globe. What is remarkable about TikTok is how little of the content is overtly political compared its western rivals - it's mostly frivolous videos for the ADHD generation or those burnt out from a decade of the culture wars on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram. Totally brain dead content. They mostly just reinvented what channel surfing on TV used to be. Everything said about China just happens to be true but make no mistake that motivation here isn't anything more than $$$

Scheme to get financially unsound companies around barriers to unsound companies entering stock-market turns out to be a bad idea. More at eleven!

My HumanGPT broke there, ignore the title typo...

It could arrive at this 'truth' as Agent Smith says: "Evolution, Morpheus. Evolution! Like The Dinosaur. Look Out That Window. You've Had Your Time. The Future Is OUR World, Morpheus. The Future Is OUR Time. Human Beings Are A Disease, A Cancer Of This Planet. You're A Plague, And We Are The Cure."

That's a goddamn feature!

I too want Skynet to take over in case stopping it gives China a competitive advantage!

I for one am looking forward to the giant panic in the 2040s about India stealing intellectual property, being "aggressive" in the Indo-Pacific and stealing our jobs.

Congressional speeches already sound like they were written by a robot; full of fluff, truisms and cliches. Nothing to see here.

they're a solution in search of a problem! Actually, it's worse than that; it needlessly increases the surface area for cyber attacks in a world where cyber crime is rife and there's a giant conflict going on that could end up as World War 3. I can think of a few countries that would just love you to have as many smart devices in your home as possible, especially if they control physical things, without naming names.

And the winner is humanity! Please let them never turn back on the burning of dinosaurs to mine monopoly money.

I personally didn't know that I needed Apple to protect me from moral corruption like that. Maybe they are the One True Religion after all and should have more censorship powers than the Pope himself!
