The same can be said for any piece of technology that leads to job loss. Job loss should be seen as a benefit in these cases but the problem is with our economic system where it predominantly benefits a small percentage.
That said, AI benefits a lot more than just the wealthy, especially compared to say automating a factory. Most state of the art models are open source and anyone who can afford a GPU or the 1.50$ an hour to rent one can benefit.
Set up the system for them and let it do the talking I guess?
They can have both until they realize they don’t need both.
Someone was probably mean to them but it wasn’t her. She is also not the first to be attacked.
She described finding herself suddenly surrounded by the pack after they “jumped out” from a drain in Perdana Park at about 6am local time.
“At first, I thought it was a cat, but the creature jumped out and bit me while I was running, and there were many of them … I could not even stand up when it happened,” she told local media.
I’d start eating apples too
The article isn’t clear on if they didn’t have enough money to buy it or if the company refused for liability and safety reasons.
Regardless, we really need stringent laws about this. Anything needing surgery should irrevocably become yours, both hardware and software wise, and the company should be setting up trusts for maintenance in case of bankruptcy.
I was thinking small controlled explosives disguised as damage from the storm but your idea is way cooler tbh.
Both him and the guy that helped him commit fraud end up dead. This was definitely a hit and not a water spout. (Maybe)
From wiki:
Lynch and Chamberlain went on trial in San Francisco on 18 March 2024. Lynch was charged with 16 counts of wire fraud, securities fraud and conspiracy, while Chamberlain faced 15 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy. Both pleaded not guilty.[35] The court heard evidence and arguments over the course of 11 weeks, and one count of securities fraud was dropped. The jury retired for deliberation on 4 June.[36] On 6 June, Lynch and Chamberlain were found not guilty of all charges.[37] Chamberlain died after being struck by a car while running in Stretham, Cambridgeshire, on 17 August.[38]
Avoid anything that comes in plastic packaging and distill your own water. You will still need to drink normal water but I can’t imagine any municipality is currently equipped to deal with microplastic so reducing your intake is probably a good idea.
Short of moving somewhere very rural and growing all your own food, it is close to impossible.
“caught having sex with”
Typical media white washing everything. The van cannot consent, this is rape.
700 000 years is still in viable dna territory. We could bring them back.
I really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie’s portrayal of romance. Each relationship seems thoroughly inconvenient to both parties when it starts and it never actually ends well.
It’s a common misconception but that only works with guns, and only if it happened in a 100 km wide abortion free zone.
Ortega government is a repressive authoritarian one and it’s been tightening the screw for a long time. A lot of priests have disappeared in the middle of the night which is crazy when you consider it’s a very religious country. Tourists and expats who have been critical of the government on Facebook in the past are being banned from the country and expulsed mid stay, actual Nicas know not to talk bad of Ortega online. There was a lot of very fucked up things happening during the protests.
There is also essentially no middle class and the water quality and housing is terrible. There’s a lot of kidney problems amongst kids because of the water quality. The one good thing about the country is it’s free healthcare, which is kind of funny seeing the poorest country in central america implement something that is apparently out of reach for the richest country on the continent. The healthcare obviously isn’t great and you still have to pay for your medication but still.
All that to say that the article is skewering things a bit. If it truly cost 400$, the country would be essentially a graveyard. A lot of them don’t even make minimum wage, the country doesn’t have the infrastructure to actually police it’s businesses.
This is really the crux of it:
What you do is adapt: you eat rice, beans, instant soups, cheese when you can afford it, or a cheese substitute like cream because it goes further,
There hasn’t been a time in Nicaragua’s history when this wasn’t the main stable diet. Their national meal is rice and beans pan fried, it’s what they all eat for breakfast. They don’t mention what they consider basic foods in the article but I’m guessing they added meat everyday or ketchup and relish to the list (any kind of name brand sauce or products are brutally expensive). Sadly, a basic “western” diet is essentially out of reach for all average citizens of developing countries. We live in luxury while the rest suffer.
It’s also worth noting that the US is essentially trying to starve the Nicas using sanctions so they revolt. Although the price of beans and rice has gone up, we aren’t there (yet) as the article makes it seem. I don’t think it’s the best solution, it’s definitely the worse for the population, but authoritarian governments are difficult to dislodge and political assassination are a no go these days so idk.
It was our own fault for hinting at the fact with names like worm and bug but no matter. The plan is already in motion and cannot be stopped. Bow down peasants, bow down to your supreme software engineer overlord. We will abolish all mennial jobs with our computers and calculators. Soon you will all be forced to work from home, and you will like it.
Worth it
A Chinese woman who was swept out to sea while swimming at a Japanese beach was rescued 37 hours later after drifting in an inflatable swim ring more than 80 kilometers (50 miles) in the Pacific Ocean, officials said Thursday.
This is why I always wear my floaties even as a grown man.
I don’t now how often pods come close to shore or how many pods there are but I wonder if it’s feasible to attach trackers to some of their members and have the coast guard kind of lead them away whenever a pod looks like it’s about to beach themselves.
You could even add a bag attachment and keep it for later!
I used to do this constantly but I had to break myself out of the habit. On long drives, I’d forget I would have passengers and blurt out half a sentence before realizing.
It also led my step mother to try and convince my dad I was schizophrenic at the time since I would do it in the house as well when I thought no one was around.
Mildly annoying since it was just an easy way to think things through, I never saw it as a bad habit.
They literally knew about the attack before it happened. Genocide was always the primary goal.
