This creeping dystopia is utterly depressing. At least with the spy glasses that have a camera, I have a fair chance of noticing that someone is using them and avoiding that person. Spy glasses that only listen are not as easy to notice and

Maybe, but I do know that in my part of the US, I'd regular see a dozen or so Teslas on the road during my commute. Over the last few weeks, though, I've spotted a total of two. There appear to be a lot of people who have stopped

Even if there will be enough rain to replace it, the Felon In Chief certainly didn't know that when he decided to unilaterally waste all that water. If it ends up being OK, it's purely through luck.

That's reusing, not recycling. Reusing is also better than recycling in every way.

I don't know in general, but I don't use "IoT" devices because the risks and data exposure to companies are enormous. The little actual value IoT devices provide aren't even close to enough to make the decision a ha

I can no more prove my speculation than Dr. Bostrum can prove his, and have no more need to do so than he does. All any of us can do on this topic is speculate. We'll only know for certain what's going to happen when it happens.

I'm not bored. It's just that after a certain point, every smartphone release was worse at doing what I need. The useful stuff appears to be degraded as a consequence of so much effort being put into the things that aren't ac

The AI sector seems ideologically aligned with Twitter, so I doubt that's in the cards.

You don't need "fuck you money" to be selective. You need a spine and a willingness to suffer discomfort while you find better work. If you keep working for a company you believe is unethical or harmful just because you need

If you're caught shoplifting from a store, you will be prosecuted even if you give all the things back. The victims being made whole does not erase the fact that a crime was committed.

I'm not sure how they'll ensure the label is accurate, but this is some rare good news. The presence of AI generated crap has already greatly reduced the amount of things that are worth paying attention to. Having some sort of gui
