86M accounts in a country of 100M, that's a LOT of foreign accounts.

Heroin works, do you praise the dealers as "disruptors" and blame the victims? Not a far-fetched example, the opiod epidemic was basically that. Individuals have few resources to protect themselves from massive corporations armed

I would say the other common denominator is Weinstein, his wealth, and willingness to sue.

>Then Facebook tried really hard to make the Metaverse a thing, and for a while, but eventually Meta stopped finding it interesting and significantly reduced investment. That's a charitable description of a massive bonfire of cash a

They don't have the monopoly advantage of Google who has already stolen everything, so hard to feel outraged here. In fact it shows insidious Google's monopolistic stranglehold truly is.

I would expect an AI controlled bus makes an error somehow and drives off a cliff or stops on a train track. Less gruesome, but some agent at a badly run hedge fund could create a Bear Stearns or worse.

Great article, baffling situation, although it buries the lead. It takes 6+ paragraphs to say this is more than one tech support email calling him a zombie. Much, much more.

I hope Zuck sues him for slander, libel, breach of contract and/or defamation. This is performative virtue signalling at its most cringe.

A woke bot from a woke workforce unintentionally created a parody of wokeness. Keep 'em coming.

What should the concern be? Imaginary Iranian motherships?

Sounds like an AI trained on decades of lies.

Apple should ban them from the platform for harming users.

Where's Google's Twitter clone? It can have AI nobody wants, a bland name nobody will remember, and be quietly sunsetted when nobody uses it.

I wonder if tomb raiders and other artifact thieves are using the same methods and arriving faster.

This is incredibly, even blatantly misleading. Singapore does not execute people for marijuana possession. It has executed a handful of heroin traffickers. Maybe worry about your own failed state before spreading lies about others.

Kind of a weird name choice, not very searchable and completely unrelated. But the tech looks great.

The BBC is literally government media, run by and for elites, of course it's propaganda. What a sadly naive view.

Saw the same thing. Laziness is not the issue, it's addiction to algorhithmic content. Algophilia, if you will.
