Thanks. These paragraphs are pretty damning: "At one point, the processor rejected as fraudulent more than 80% of the deposits it was handling, a rate that far exceeded industry standards of roughly 1%. Polymarket employees quickly ra

That's true. And car commercials that get people to buy fancy new cars are really well figured out and seem to seriously work. Why fix something that isn't broken? Real estate is interesting because they seem to be really getting

I'm not sure about coders but for artists I don't think a massive number were making anime waifus, but instead were making graphic designs for advertisements, publications & websites. Currently AI is actually replacing some of

I don't belive you can patent gameplay. You can't say "I'm going to patent the idea that you all go around a board buying land and getting cash, if your player moves to someone else's land they have to pay them rent

Wow that is very very cool. Thank you very much for digging that up & sharing the link! Sometimes visuals like that really help me process information.

Definitly seeing this with video games. Especially ones that are easy to make and have generic names. I mean you could already easily clone those before, but now 10 people will easily clone them. See this amusing reddit post. https:/

It would be cool to see what these look like in a photo but I guess they're never empty of liquid. I wonder what happens to the oily water after we use it? Do we boil it until it evaporates?

I think what we might be moving towards is the idea that rings are kinda dumb. Rings make our fingers less mobile, harder to clean, get in the way of our delicate hand-tasks, scratch things our hands are manipulating, yada yada. Earings mak

Uh... and Iran and the Straight of Hormuz?? Did you forget to mention that? Is that an election issue? And who funds the Houthis? And why would they want to close the straight to us? Is it something to do with supporting Israel? No? Ok.

I'm excited to see all the nutty takes about oil prices from the same people who don't belive in vaccines. I kinda hope they bring back the old idea that oil is actually formed out of non-biological matter and so that means its ju

Twitter is far from special. So I guess you're missing out on all the friends and connections and interesting conversations you have not made on Threads, Facebook, Linkedin, instagram, tiktok, reddit, bluesky, mastodon, discord & t

Hmm. I wonder how long till we can implant little lights or color changers in our skin, like a moving tattoo that change color based on some wireless code we send, or special light we shine on them, so that you could essentially add or subt

I wonder if there's a blog or something that tells the story of how good car design went off the rails. I'm pretty sure that there was a culture of design that gradually worked out what a great car is like until somewhere in the 2

Its a fun game! The only thing I would add is the ability to see the players cry and lose their quarters after you smash their ship.

That reddit thread is worth a look. Yikes.

If you look at these AI get-rich-quick bros they haven't thought through target markets and stuff, they just push this out there and hope, and if it doesn't work they push out another thing. I'm sure some actually do get rich

Actually you need a REAL ID to board a plane now. 20% of americans don't have them. They're pointless, take a lot of time and effort to aquire and are needlessly expensive. I don't have one because I have a passport.

Actually that's what I usually eat. But its a bit more work than opening a box and pouring out the contents. I really just want to check the "morning nutrients" box without having to do a lot of bother, its something I really

Going to the store and looking for a healthy breakfast cereal that isn't loaded with added sugars is actually not easy. Sometimes they'll have a few, but last time I looked at Kroger there didn't seem to be a single box of ce

I see. And how do you you know that elon, a notably close supporter of the president didn't have anything to do with the Artemis program? I notice that Chinese electric vehicles are essentially banned in the US, but probably that had n

How is landing on the moon not a publicity stunt? What can the humans do that massively cheaper robots couldn't - besides take some awesome photos and bring back some more moon rocks? Of course there have long been plans to go back to

Starship isn't actually operational. I'll let you look at their plans for it and you can tell me if they involve doing things the goverment would pay for like landing on the moon and building space stations or not.

Humans weren't built to live in massive societies with 100s of millions of people. No wonder we love minecraft and Satisfactory and playing murder-hobos in ttrpgs. I would be in favor of restructuring society to be in smaller units, co

As I see it Musk is lobbying the goverment to give him money to do useless stuff & expensive in space like land on the moon again - basically redirecting funds away from useful stuff like the James Webb Telescope for publicity stunts. N

The polls I've seen make it seem like there's much more public distress about AI than excitement, so yeah. Honestly pushing ai into people's faces and talking non-stop about how great it is really has a negative effect on its

I can see a future coming soon where everyone has cameras in their house and voluntarily sends the data to insurance companies for lower rates. If most people agree to do it then it could basically become manditory if you want insurance. Al

Its commonly said by people who seem to love this tech that we don't get to have a right to privacy in public spaces (anywhere but shut inside our houses with the window blinds drawn) but it appears now we also don't have a right

Yes, I know many. Of course everyone has minor mental health problems but I know many who have basically cured mental health problems from depression to crippling OCD. None of them did it purely with counciling but with a vast combination o
