They have a brain as complex as ours, they’re social, and they’re believed to be really smart.

If they’re actually dumb, very dumb, I swear to god I will buy a single non-certified dolphin-free tuna can out of spite.

This is scandalous! We were supposed to get a different kind of fraud!

They even probably worked better than real AI, the shame!

My extensive expertise tells me it depends.

This must have been terrifying for the ant.

Wow. Aren’t we Mexicans inventive?

Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it. The tariffs might give it the pretext it needed to go ahead with the idea, because the alternative would be sacrificing some of its abundant profit margins.

You joke, but Russia is a better replacement for China than Ukraine. The territory is bigger, which means more resources, and instead of giving them aid USA can buy raw material cheap because they need money.

At least that’s the strategy I’d expect from your current administration, since everything is laser-focused on very short term profit.

I would never had imagined that in my lifetime I’d see gringos reverse-smuggling game consoles from Mexico. I guess you could smuggle them from Canada too, but Mexico has always smuggled merch from USA. We even have a term for it: “fayuca”.

The lucky ones that live near the border can cross, shop switches 2 at non-orange prices, open them and smuggle the back as personal devices.

Tell me you’re young and reasonably healthy without telling me yadda yadda

There comes an age where health is not a matter of choice. You do it or you suffer whatever years you stay alive, which can be surprisingly long. If you’re healthy for your age, don’t squander it, you will regret it as early as your 50s, if not a bit sooner.

You’ve heard 30-somethings joke about bad knees and back pain? That’s nothing, chump. You’ll know it when even sleeping hurts.

Guess they will start teaching vtubing in high school then.

Tell me you’re a NRA fan without telling me you’re a NRA fan.

It was one of the jailbreaks, LLMs are just too eager to help.

Because most people are not online while pooping, right?

Right?

It’s not that great anyway. Your local toilet will surreptitiously grab and analyze your poop, dispose of it so you don’t need to flush, and have the remote toilet extrude an identical copy someone else has to flush.

TBH Apple is closed mainly because it makes them boatloads of money, not because of security. It could still be open and responsible.

The 3% was because your friend made you take a test you didn’t want to. Your vanilla power is nearly overwhelming the testing capacities of current technology.

• Alien: Why do you want to replicate things for money?
• Mothra: So I can buy the things I want!
• Alien: Can’t you replicate the things you want instead?
• Mothra: This thing can replicate admiration?!

Plot twist: every replicated replicator degrades slightly in subtle ways, like making glass less smooth, or making food taste a little bit stale. After the fourth cycle, bananas taste a bit like warm mayo.

Nah, economy would suffer and adapt, but not technology or science. Engineers still would get together and work on new designs, but not for money.

Yup, mind uploading is making a copy. If the copying process is destruct, that doesn’t make it less of a copy. Your copy would remember your decision, so it will know it’s a copy as long as it knew how the process works.
