Yes, but they will also hold your bank account. Which for me would be a net positive so maybe you’re right lmao

Pretty sure all the people praising this don’t realise this, hence my comment.

Datacenters are not just for AI.

This is potentially worse than you’d immediately think. Literally everything that exists in “the cloud” is in a datacenter and is not exclusively AI. Remember when AWS went down and half the internet went down with it? Now imagine the datacenters actually got destroyed and it wasn’t just a software bug. Imagine if the datacenters went down for your bank account or healthcare provider. Sure this is only happening in the Middle East at the moment, but as we’ve been learning more and more these days, if it can happen “over there” it can happen here too. Wherever “here” may be, this can affect you.

ETA: Added some words.

I used to pay for premium a couple years ago because I still wanted to support the creators I watched, but ever since they started implementing AI everywhere and stealing peoples videos for training data I figured Google doesn’t deserve my money no matter how small. I’d much rather watch with uBlock and spend that $20 I used to spend on YouTube Premium on the various YouTubers Patreons.

The purpose of this is that right wing news media will only report what Trump said while never mentioning the rebuttal. Now they’ll do whatever they want and when they get push back they’ll say “yeah but you said we could” and all of his fans will back him up. And since Trump purged most of the senior military that opposed him the military will most likely back him up too. So now if there’s an international incident involving the illegal use of US military bases in Spain they can say it was Spain that broke the agreement.

Facts don’t matter for these people. They only care about what their dear leader says while everything else is noise or ignored entirely. Essentially, this message isn’t for us or Spain, it was for MAGA.

Bro we just wanna own the things we bought and paid for. You’re not making a good argument here, Microslop.

Been awhile since I checked out this website and only now just found out there is a new one right next to the office I work at.

Well, at least one. That we know of.

As someone that has met a lot of people that do cocaine, yeah that’s not surprising. Maybe not the seat specifically, but pretty much all of them do coke off of toilets. It’s a convenient height, it has a similar color so it’s easier to clean up, you get the privacy of the stall door, and nobody is gonna bother you while you are there.

They’re just reading the room. They’re not doing it because they think israel is bad, they’re doing it because it’s economically disastrous to do so. Within the next few years the US will be in the same position if it keeps going the way it is. We’ll be too “high risk.”

Bro, I get advertisements for sexbots and nudify apps on YouTube. All of them link to the app store.

Edit: tried to test the theory and it seems they have suddenly disappeared. Currently getting flooded with ads for TurboTax and financial advice. Will be back if I find one.

I remember last year when there was a trend of AI generated videos that depicted animals or people doing ridiculous and crazy things on doorbell cameras. Everyone was surprised at how realistic they looked but never questioned why there was enough training data of doorbell cameras to make them in the first place.

Not that relevant, but it makes it pretty clear how “private” this data was in the first place.

The entire US government is corrupt at this point. Both sides back down as soon as their money is threatened and republicans cower in fear every time they second guess their glorious leader. But to answer your question, the Supreme Court of the United States decided Trump can do whatever he wants and they will only fight him when they need to pretend they are impartial. They gave Trump the power over tariffs about a month before his “liberation day.”

At the end of the day it really comes down to the fact that nobody in the entire government of the US has the balls to tell the big baby in charge “no.” And even when they do they only do it to win political points so they look good for the next election.

I live in the mountains and they aren’t even snowcapped this year. Still feels like September and I can easily go outside in a t-shirt most days. Even when it does snow, which has only happened three times so far this season, it melts by the late afternoon.

Damn straight.

I mean, you took the first sentence out and ignored the rest of what I said. My point was that yes that is a reason, but it’s not the only reason. My point was they don’t wanna sell to consumers because Elon Musk is just gonna pre-order their entire stock for the next two years.

What’s crazy is that they aren’t just doing this because they make more money with AI. They’re doing this because these AI companies have basically pre-ordered a fuck ton of components that have not been manufactured yet to be put into computers that haven’t even been made yet for datacenters that are not even built yet all on an electrical grid that hasn’t caught up. As long as the manufacturers get paid they don’t really give a shit, but this is so unsustainable it would be hilarious if it weren’t so catastrophic for the rest of us. And as long as the line goes up as they all circle jerk their money around they’ll all be happy and can pretend the economy is good.

Google: 😉

Seriously, if you trust any corporation at this point you are an idiot. Besides, they change their Terms of Service multiple times a year and can opt you into whatever the hell they want at any time. They’ll just send an email that says “we’ve updated on terms of service” and you’ve already agreed to it unless you read through it and go through their convoluted methods for opting out. I remember when every company started doing forced arbitration and the only way to opt out was to send certified physical mail and if you failed to do so by a certain date you automatically agree to the new terms.

Don’t just say “White House Official.” It was Stephen Miller. You know, the most racist and probably most dangerous person that is under Trump.

It doesn’t take a lot of tech skill to be an exec for a tech company. My guess is they fall into the same category as those that see the AI overview on Google and think “wow this is so much better” and never second guess the results.
