Not once in all that time did I consider using a program with hostile default settings. Weird how hard this might be for an image viewer.

Expressing a viewpoint necessitates a downvote?

Maybe I’ll get some hate for this, but years ago when I worked at a civil engineering firm this was the default image viewer IT had mapped every image file to open with - it was a …

Could you provide some examples of what you think these hypothetical AI’s are going to give/grant/allow these hypothetical governments that warrants the usage of enough energy they…

I think “backbone” in this context is a stand-in for “integrity” and/or “honor”. I think the fact that they can “buy, sell, and eliminate people and governments as they see fit” is…

Then the propaganda has won.

Your point seems predicated upon more people being “poorer” rather than focusing on the fact that there wasn’t nearly the wealth inequality we have now (which you mention, but dism…

My understanding is their “Blackbird” model is meant to be the lower priced model, though Raptor acknowledges the whole line was never going to be mass market; rather, a well made …

Does the Talos II not fit this already?

Funny, this is what I thought as well. To be a conspiratorial…he has to have SOMETHING on all of these VCs.

This reads comically incel-ish. “Women know their value”, like a self-respecting man doesn’t? Why aren’t your male friends doing the same thing, then? Life doesn’t end at 40, for e…

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Or perhaps things have changed in the approximately 40 years since your experience.
