7 Billion? That's a 20 year old figure. There are now over 8 billion. A handful live high on the hog while most are starving.

Using this AI to cheat on tests will fail. All the answers will be wrong. AI halucinations.

How could anyone view Reddit stock as a worthy investment? A place where people use ad blockers and take offense to the ads that sneak through will never buy those products. Stock in social media is a scam to rip off the gamblers at the wall street casino, nothing more.

AI breaks everything it touches. It is a shame executives in the government and private sector are so blown away by buzzwords. The word "cloud" is still wowing them like it was magic. Everything that is hosted in the cloud is slower and less reliable than when it was locally hosted by a wide margin. Once everything we search for at work is junked up with AI slop, all work will slow to a crawl, but executives who don't understand technology will blame the people. AI is just the latest boondoggle that billions will be wasted on. It is a mistake.

Like all ideas driven purely by corporate greed, this is a terrible idea. Netxgen TV is hard to pick up. My Sony TV has a tuner for it, but half of the antennas I have tried either don't get it at all, or drop the picture frequently. I frequently give up on it and just watch the ATSC 1.0 channels instead. Another problem is that several manufacturers have dropped Nextgen tuners because of licensing fees. No one wants a separate tuner box. We want to use our TV for TV. Use of Nextgen needs to remain optional.

In most juristictions I am aware of, trademark law does not stop anyone from using their own real name in business. That is why Hershey's Chocolate and Hershey's Ice Cream, not affiliated and never were, co-exist. It is the same for Snyder's of Hanover and Snyder of Berlin. They have the founder's real name, not a made up one.

Instead of an elective for the .5% who will understand it, teach computer literacy to everyone. They can't tell a mouse from a cat and will all be useless in any kind of office job as a result. We don't need any more career burger flippers.

Say that UFOs are alien visitors and no one bats an eye. Say they are Russian and Chinese drones and everyone loses their minds!

Daylight savings is play pretend time. Noon is when the sun is at its highest point. Pretending otherise is silly. When Franklin "proposed" it he was joking. The same article, with tongue in cheek, proposed firing cannons at dawn to make people wake up, and banning curtains on the sunrise side of homes to make people wake up. Play pretend time should go away forever, but there are too many stupid people for that to ever happen.

Purity of essence!

The way some prospective sperm donors are accepted and others are rejected is nothing shy of eugenics.

The Thinkpad may be the one and only example of that in all of tech. Usually they are so obsessed with the theory of constant improvement that they throw away the good while grasping for the perfect, and end up making a mess. While Lenovo seems to struggle with quality control, at least they have an understanding of what is good. My wife and I each own a current Thinkpad.

Hollywood has been out of ideas since the talkies replaced silent films, but when you boil it all down, everything is derivative of something. That has been true since the second cave drawing.

Everything TIkTok is doing, so is Facebook and every other social media site. The reason TikTok is getting crucified while Facebook gets a free pass is the connection to China. Bytedance divesting would change absolutely nothing.
