[...] that feels like the internet of old.

But this shit, this hatred, does not belong here.

Buddy I got some bad news for you about the internet of old, flame wars are some of the first things we ever got up to on the internet.

To be clear, I agree with you, fuck that noise - but I don't think this is a hill you want to get too comfortable on. It's best to just ignore them, or block them if you feel strongly about it. People have been and will continue to call each other stupid assholes on forums from the beginning until the end of the internet era.

Local speech to text has been easy to do for at least a decade and then you're just firing off a text file to HQ to add keywords to a user file. These days an AI will likely parse the text to find recommendable products, ten years ago you'd have just had a gigantic list of all your partners' brand names and desired key trigger phrases in a database and run the conversation text against the database and look for matches. Super easy to accomplish. Updating someone's ad preferences 15-30 minutes after they talk about a product may as well be considered real time.

Not since his mom died.

You can see a very tangible drop in cognition around the production and release of The Life of Pablo. Pretty sure he's been unmedicated since then.

If they're practicing proper Read Only Fridays then we won't hear about it from them

Right. So it told you objectively wrong information while the correct answer is freely available from technical documents that it ought to know how to read.

So imagine if that was something actually life threatening.

In fact it does, the sixth amendment guarantees, and I quote, "to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."

Find me a person who doesn't know who Elon Musk is, go ahead, I'll wait.

Nowadays? Yeah y'all missed the bus. The time to do something about this was several years ago, when Tesla's atrocious build quality was becoming publicly apparent and Musk was inserting himself into every news story in the worst ways possible.

"Pedo guy" comment in 2018 was the first major wake up call to most people who weren't paying attention.

Acquisition of Twitter in 2022, and the major fuckery involved with that, should have rung the bell for anyone left behind.

At either of those times you still could have sold a Tesla to a Maga chud and still come out on top. Now you're just stuck holding a bag. And my concern for said bag holders is relatively minor because people who really can't afford a car are still driving 20 year old Hondas and Toyotas and Buicks. If you bought a Tesla new (and yes, it was bought new, because a used market did not exist at the time) you have car money. Buy an $8k beater, used, like the rest of us do.

It sounds like it's a directed microwave cooker. Works on people too, just not ones behind good cover.

Edit: ah, high frequency, my bad, it's a gamma gun. Same principles apply I think, give or take the cover.

Seeing how things are going stateside and how poorly received American refugees are likely going to be anywhere, I'd consider it.

Facebook isn't there because it now comes pre-installed on nearly every phone in existence, and is often baked so hard into the core OS that it's impossible to remove without flashing a custom ROM. If you're lucky you might be able to disable Meta slop without bricking core functions of the phone. Removal is usually impossible.
