These are not controlled experiments. They are merely reprocessing of existing cases with simplified data sources that happen to correlate with the outcomes.

Anyone can make a diagnosis, even without looking at a patient. Do it enough times, argue the failures were anomalies or unfair comparisons or just don't mention them, hype up the successes. Post on TikTok.

(and for the experts: always look at who is paying for a reasonable looking study, and list all the biases you can think of up front)

I did that too. Had the Samsung VR headset, enjoyed it regularly until it was discontinued, bought an Oculus on the assumption it was the same, only better hardware. Used it 3 times ever. After a year, I threw it in the trash.

Software quality matters, when Meta purchased Oculus, the balance moved into negative territory.

lol, I accept the correction!

Babies are everywhere. Even album covers!

Israel was the instigator of this crisis. It is a theocracy with a veneer of democracy, that has been unable to live peacefully with its neighbours for 3 generations, mostly due to a Chosen People complex as big as the Orthodox population. As an experiment in relocation after WWII, they have been showing the world what not to do.

Once the islamic regime in Iran falls

Right now the only thing that's certain is that the US Navy is scared of entering the Straight of Hormuz. HTH.

Also, Bill Gates is a friend of Epstein.

It sounds like they're both sleazeballs. Do you have a point?

Expect hackers to install hidden background daemons who relay AI prompts from strangers over the Internet, at only half the per token price.

Just ask an AI to check the source for you.

(sorry, I'm kidding)

Well, Elon is a sleazeball because he can't be bothered to pay his share for the support of several children he fathered. That's a deadbeat right there.

Whereas Altman looks like some kid from That 70s show, minus the afro.... You just know he's up to something.

And whose motorcycle is this?

It's much, much worse than that. Amazon books since 2023 are often AI generated slop. Garbage through and through, maskerading as anything interesting. The company simply don't even do the simplest checks about what they accept in their inventory.

I never buy books post 2022 any more. The only exception is if I know the author. New authors? Sorry, you can blame the tech bros.

I do however still buy a lot of older books. I've seen the near future, and the information pollution is going to get worse before it gets better.

Thank you! This is why I still come back to slashdot, those little tidbits are worth putting up with the slop.

Now can someone please start a Unix PC emulator and compile a media player with libcaca on it, so we can watch Cobra on one of those puppies?

Now if only someone could use that standard with the US presidency!
