Have you ever seen a movie or read a book?

It’s not the bonding part with fake characters that makes this weird. It’s pretending they are in any sense real.

Not enough miniguns yet.

Question is, what is its Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF)?

Matt Mullenweg has not done anything explicitly evil, wrong, or super obviously illegal.

That’s hell of a twist at the end. I would argue he did all of that and may be looking at jail time.

I have 291 RedBoxes in my yard.

Can I take those? ;)

Virtual environments are a great thing.

No no, Google does actually have its own custom proprietary AI hardware - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_processing_unit

Apple is not there yet, its models were trained on Google hardware. Though I am surprised it wasn’t Nvidia hardware.

Thanks! Will definitely help.

How did you do that please?

And heh, no cut, dummy. They get extorted. Netflix wouldn’t agree to allow the hi-res streaming to their devices otherwise.

They could pair that with sensors / cameras for hanging things. These are already being produced and installed on tracks.

This is an already solved problem - EU did it in the past.

You’re right. This is just “SaaS”, “cloud APIs” approach turned to 11 - making some thing unavailable to everyone unless they agree to agree with any conditions you come up in the future. For example, if Github Copilot becomes genuinely and uniquely very useful, that’s bad for the software development industry over the entire world: it means that every single software dev company will have to pay “tax” to Microsoft.

Weeeell, there’s a school of though leaning towards the opinion that using VPS is still self-hosting ;)

You could also think this applies to all corporations in some degree. But no, there’s a fresh batch of bright eyed optimistic people out of school every year.

Sorry, but that’s irrelevant to “if it’s free…” implication. Those are just unrelated ways companies made suckers out of their customers.

“Let me tell you about my mother…”

In third panel those are the person’s arms ;)

There has been an improvement - and regulations - in this regard over time, so you both may be right.

Similar top-down cultural phenomenon dictated by corpos is concept of “personal carbon footprint” - as a means of shifting blame and focus from them to individuals. This is almost conspiracy level unbelievable when heard for the first time, but true nonetheless.
