He did not say it with hashtags, why has that been added?

No, we do have that. Social media is a gold mine for analysis, both for modern sociology and for future archaeology.

This is stuff that should be around for many decades

Should it? 99.99% of my email doesn't need to be around for more than a few days, let alone decades. And that number will only go up when I'm dead. Really important stuff, like ownership titles, is on file in paper here in my house and with the relevant title agency.

Sharpened sticks are now illegal.

Oh did you just make a closed fist? Those are also illegal.

Looks like it's Michael Dell and Masayoshi Son.

Investors include Intel (Pat Gelsinger, net worth ~82m), Dell (Michael Dell, ~112b), and SoftBank (Masayoshi Son, ~29b). Probably others, but I'm on my phone so getting this info is awkward.

Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan: it's free real estate

I'm joking of course. Out of those three, probably only Syria might take advantage of the situation, and only to reclaim the occupied parts of their territory. But there would be such schadenfreude to see Israel get caught with their pants down by overextending and leaving their other borders unprotected. I've played enough games like Civilization to have learned that lesson.

Yup. My parents aren't even in ill health, let alone dead, but we recently took all the old VHS tapes, including a lot of OTA recordings, and a significant number of DVDs, and dumped them. Recordings of talking with relatives got digitized, same way you'd keep family photos.

I have no expectation that people keep my junk. I'll pass on a handful of stuff like identifying photos of people and places, but nobody wants or needs the 500 photos of my cat. Even I don't want that many, but storage is cheap enough that I don't bother to delete the useless ones.

"At first I thought I was being bigoted, which is bad. Then I discovered I disagree with them, so that makes it okay."

No, he personally had material gain.

So who decides which facts should be included in the training data?

Yeah. Hosting your email is easy! Resolving being labeled as spam is not. (Filtering incoming spam is also hit or miss, but more just an annoyance than a problem.)

The most concerning part about this article is that they put one in their nine-year-old's bedroom.
