Looks like they originally animated him eating a sandwich but decided to put in a slice of deep dish pizza at the last minute.

Once the bubble pops, we can go back to letting AI do what it’s actually good at—pattern recognition, summarization, translation, natural language processing—and stop trying to shoehorn it into every single thing.

That’s probably a good read on it.

Interesting. Some of them are just dip switches, too. I hadn’t heard about needing a cable, that’s an interesting wrinkle.

I don’t have any specific recommendations for you, but I will say that

• pretty much every modern Chromebook will be able to have Linux installed over ChromeOS. You might have to open it up and remove a write-protect screw.

• Linux is a surprisingly good platform for games these days, actually. Steam has done a lot of work to get it there.

• If you’re wanting lightweight specs, you’re probably going to find the best bang for your buck in an old Chromebook; however, I don’t know if you’ll see as many of those coming on the market, and you’ll want to watch out for old school devices. Those things get worked over pretty hard.

they’ll still be around

Hope not. As far as I’m concerned anyone who aided or abetted him is a traitor.

Heh, yeah, I’m fresh out of hazmat suits, so I’m going to stay away from that particular site.

Yeah, I know it’s never going to be something that Musk sees (even though he’s weirdly, like, the most chronically-online billionaire ever). But maybe normalizing it here means that more people will do it in places where he can see it? I dunno.

I’m not the creator, but I assume it’s pointing out the absurd juxtaposition of living in a crumbling civilization on a warming planet, yet being forced to continue doing such banal things as buying food in order to survive.

Yes. Joking aside, he absolutely should be punished. But fascism wilts in the face of ridicule; the one thing they cannot abide is people not taking them seriously. The only time the Harris campaign ever made any headway was when Walz was calling the GOP “weird,” and the repeated attacks & threats against late night show hosts prove that they just can’t handle it.

In this case, I got the idea (and even some of the language) from a video content creator who goes by “mrs.frazzled.” Her stuff points out how profoundly unserious these people are, even though their actions have serious consequences and they desperately need to feel important.

I know I’m not exactly writing Uncle Tom’s Cabin here, and I wouldn’t claim that this is some meaningful resistance. Just wanted to explain.

I think there’s argument about whether or not even that’s enough.

Hey hey hey. Elon. 1-2-3-eyes on me. Ok? Listen little man. You have to put away all the toys you already got out before you start getting any more toys out. You made a big mess out there in low Earth orbit already, you need to help clean it up before you start any more games. Got-it got-it?

Yes, I know you don’t want to, but sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to. Yes, even if you took all of the play money for yourself.

Yes, I know your daddy owned an emerald mine. That doesn’t mean you don’t have a responsibility to help keep this whole place usable.

Also, while you’re doing your cleanup, there’s still a hole you dug in Las Vegas that you forgot about, and you also need to apologize to the rest of the class for breaking the government services they all enjoyed, and help everyone put them back together.

I know it’s not going to be easy to fix them. That’s why we don’t break things, right? That’s right. Especially when…? When we don’t know what they’re for, right. But you can do hard things, especially if you have help.

I know you fed it into a wood chipper, Elon. We all watched you do it. No, I don’t think it’s funny or epic.

Ok. Well if you aren’t going to help clean up, I think we might need to have a consequence, ok? …no, the consequence can not be going to Mars.

Technologies? No. But the oceans are 42x better at sequestering carbon than the surface, and there are some pretty interesting ideas around promoting phytoplankton blooms and kicking the ocean currents up, that sort of thing.

But trees are rad. We should absolutely have more of them. Besides, they’re proven, as you noted.

Actually it says “Ocean Blindness.” And apparently it’s a real fake thing. Home-grown human-made photo fakery.

Definitely possible, but I’ve seen Apple release weirder bugs. Especially when they brought this functionality over to FaceTime.

Looks like it delegates to Meet, for me.

Yeah, honestly, spam reporting is good. Call screen is amazing. I would be loath to give it up.

“Because he can?”

I just looked, and you’re absolutely right. I had no idea that the Messages app wasn’t part of the AOSP. Very interesting (and not in a good way)

A lot of us dream of using a submarine to attack our enemies. This isn’t exactly what I meant.

While Apple’s code isn’t open-source, I believe they’ve subjected their code to third-party audit in the past for confirmation that the data isn’t being sent off-device.

So kind of, but not entirely.

On Android devices, the apps are auditable as part of the AOSP. If they were exfiltrating data, a security researcher would already have flagged it.
