Of course the percentage of people who have ever used a chatbot is going to go up over time.

Yes, and crucially, it never goes down.

It’s like asking: “do you use a motor vehicle?” And then counting everyone who has ever been in a car, a truck, a bus, or potentially even a train as a yes. It plainly conflates active users with exploratory or incidental users.

The only reason to do such things is to inflate numbers because being honest about them makes it look bad.

For real though. The number of dumbass comments I see on social media of from regular people supporting billionaires because they “made it”, or “we should all strive to be so successful” is laughable. The entire class should not exist in a society functioning for more than the super rich.

Also, find me a billionaire that isn’t a nepo-baby of other rich people.

The tail continues to wag the dog. It’s worked so far. Why stop now?

Musk just got some fresh dough, probably want to check with him. I’m sure DOGE has you covered!

Yes, I watch Groundhog Day on February 2.

And then again every night until the next February 2.

Unsurprising. Newsom is an opportunistic piece of shit and California will not miss him when he terms out.

“All I can say is we have tried every approach to get the memory and also storage at a lower cost,” we were told. “Like, deepen the relationship between us and also those suppliers, like to have some deals… and I think we have done everything we can do to make out system as affordable as possible. But unfortunately, I think the situation, the result is what you see right here. So, I would say, yes, it will be a tough year for us and for the gamers.”

Ah, but see, it’s less tough if gamers simply don’t buy this product. Did the shareholders consider that?

Also, don’t put AI in the name of your product if you want it to sell to gamers. Take a look at consumer sentiment and know your market.

The heated confrontation in the European parliament came on Wednesday after lawmakers voted 418 to 218 to approve controversial measures aimed at increasing deportations of undocumented people.

418 to 218 is not a close vote by any stretch of the imagination.

People may disagree with the chants and/or the policy here, but in any event, it does appear that the writing is on the wall. It isn’t just the US which is increasingly anti-immigrant, and these sentiments do seem to be spreading across the world.

He has said the Qatari plane will eventually be donated to his future presidential library as an exhibit.

So, kinda.

The US government has also contracted planemaker Boeing to deliver two new 747-8 aircraft to serve as the presidential jet but the program has suffered delays and cost overruns.

It’s not mentioned in this article, but Trump ultimately changed directions on the actual program, which is now using 2 ex-Russian 747s which had been abandoned, as opposed to 2 new aircraft from Boeing (the original plan). Worth noting that there is technically little difference, except that the aircraft are being stripped down and rebuilt as opposed to purpose-built from the start.

It gets better when you consider that the “ground” itself, and indeed all matter, is just mostly empty space anyway.

ⓧ Doubt

Trump versus Trump is always such a flip flop. Some of us are old enough to remember when flip-flopping was bad politics.

I mean, it still is. It’s just that there’s a cult in power.

It’s also annoying linguistically, since Þ usually represents a voiceless interdental fricative, which never occurs as the th in the. English does have the voiceless one (cf. thin), just never in the.

It would be better to use the voiced version, which is a ð. But yes, neither will do anything to thwart AI training.

It’s all relative too. Even if FO4 is a decent game, I don’t think many would argue against the idea that it is objectively less good than the earlier Fallout titles. Just like Skyrim was better than Oblivion. Just like Starfield was not up to par with any earlier Bethesda release, despite the ambition.

It doesn’t mean any of them are bad games, but the relative pattern / trajectory of Bethesda is plain to see.

You’re about to have a rough few months, methinks.

Let’s not ignore the nominative hemits, shemits, and theymits.

It’s partly because there realistically is no substantial left-wing voice remaining in the US. The right and corporations do their best to label centrist positions as far left positions, and the Overton Window continually shifts to the right as a result.

It’s also really, really popular to hate on California at the moment. The facts never matter.

Definitely sad that it’s NPR in this case, though.

For those not getting the reference:

Thought to have died of indigestion arising from eating melon, though his opponents alleged he died while being sodomized by a page.

Doesn’t seem far fetched to think the indigestion was an excuse. Though to be fair, I’ve had some rough melons in my day.
