That’s true, it’s not as bad as I was originally thinking. However, there’s probably a reason traditional power plants never use jet engines for power production. According to this article, “But repurposed aircraft turbines tend to be less efficient and more polluting than engines designed for conventional gas-burning plants.”

That would be nice, but I meant an alternative to Signal. Sorry I wasn’t very clear.

Some crypto was designed to be useful, and some was designed to be an investment scam. But everyone is investing in all crypto so none of it makes sense.

Like a dimentia patient, “no mom’s not dead, she’s just at the store.” Whatever it takes to prevent him from bombing an ally.

AI can make decisions and micromanage. What’s stopping the higher ups from replacing lower management now?

I don’t like the phone number requirement either, but is there a better alternative?

Hadn’t heard of immich, I already run a plex server so shouldn’t be too bad to set up. That just leaves the big problem of switching all my existing accounts off gmail.

Good info for those of us who still have an iPhone. A pixel with grapheme OS still seems like the best option for a smartphone so I think I’ll switch to that for my next phone.

I’m sure it’s a tactic to make the schools allow AI, but I hope they can resist. Google does not need a stranglehold on every person in every market. Google search has gotten worse anyway, so even duck duck go would be fine. Maybe even use this as an opportunity to teach kids about data privacy.

Yes but it only comes with a metal claw

Wow this can’t be efficient. Jet engines are primarily designed to produce thrust. But looks like Musk got special permission from the state to pollute more, so all’s good!

Ugh it’s going to be a pain to stop using Google, but it’s time. Long gone are the days of “don’t be evil”

Hmmm maybe all the ghosts want to haunt somewhere less crowded so they can become famous.

Not your fault. Companies only care about money so they get rid of employees as soon as they can. Sorry that happened though. Hopefully you got decent severance, and don’t forget to claim unemployment benefits.

Yes!! I think Microsoft wants the same thing since that’s when support for windows 10 ends.

That, plus the fact that they hand over data to cops with no warrant, and now this… I made a Tuta account until I can figure out self hosted email. Proton was supposes to be the good version of Google.

Apple says the detection is done on-device, but it’s closed source and I can’t think of a way to test it so I wouldn’t trust it

It’s hard for me to believe AI might take care of us when its intent is to replace us, but it’s possible. If that happens humans are resilient and adaptable enough I don’t think we are going anywhere unless something causes another extinction event, like global warming. Slaves and serfs kept their will to live thousands of years ago so people today will too. If we manage to stay alive and AI sticks around for 10,000+ years then yes I think we will evolve to depend on AI somehow, but that either means humans will still be smart enough to fix and improve AI, or AI will become self-sufficient and it won’t need to keep us around. Any way I look at it is bleak.
