If you’re in any western democracy you should worry about propaganda bots from Iran, DPRK, Russia, and China. They have well known active operations of helping fuel the flames of political division by amplifying both sides of extremely divi

It wouldn’t be any different if it said “made from imagination with photoshop”. Using fake images is lame whether they are AI or not.

Depends on the work? Software salaries in the US are so far beyond anywhere else in the world that it puts you in a significantly different lifestyle. One year of a kafkaesque process to make $500k/year instead of 70k Euros is a trade

Have you been… not traveling since COVID? Marriott and Hilton cut daily housekeeping during that period and then kept that by default at many properties (at least in the western US). You have to request it special and some properties still

“Burned crust” is not what people want. If it’s burnt it went too far. The fact that you are equivocating the two makes me think you haven’t ever had properly cooked meat or are very confused about what “burned” means. https://ww

This is not faster. If you cut chicken into bite sized pieces you can cook it in a pan in less than 25 minutes.

Yes, you are out of touch with what has happened with embedded. Companies love internet connected things, especially big industrial things. It’s absolutely terrible for security but remote visibility into how your 100 ton haul truck is oper

What was their revenue and what was profit as a percentage of that? If the profit percentage hasn’t increased, “record profits” is meaningless drivel that just means it kept up with inflation.

Yeah, pretty terrible outcome from prohibition designed to curtail alcohol consumption. It’s pretty the worst example to go for if you’re trying to convince people that state stores are good.

11-13 isn’t anywhere near 60. Anyone who has shopped a state run vs regular liquor store knows how much worse the gov version is unless your goal is higher prices, worse service, and worse selection.

This is incorrect. Internet connections and 3rd party integrations have changed this view of “the software doesn’t need to change once it leaves the factory”. John Deere, Caterpillar, etc are leaning heavily into the “connected industrial e
