Oh wow, didn't know about this. If the kid isn't rich they probably won't be able to get that money from him. Yeah, social media is pushing people to do crazy things and it's quite destructive for the society. We took th

Not only that but if humanoid robots were available commercially (and viable) they could be used as housemaids or for.. companionship if not more. Of course, we're entering SciFi territory but it's long been a SciFi theme.

I wasn't aware wildfires were started with fireworks, yeah, that's even worse than littering a neighborhood after a session of nuisance that could last a whole night.

I remember this came with a SoundBlaster card back in the early 90s. This was the delight of the adults back then (I was just about 10 then) who got fooled into getting hours and hours of psychotherapy sessions from Dr Sbaitso. And it kind

What happens with all the money they collected from investors? Was it all just squandered away? Pocketed?

I guess we'll have to take everything with a grain of salt from now on as any evidence can be faked with AI. I'm likely naive since I don't understand what the point of faking this was. Clout chasing? Monetizing this somehow?
