    "Too many hyphens!" is definitely the dumbest insult I've ever seen for someone digging through a comment history, holy shit.

    Yes it is, it's called planning-ahead for the extremely predictable.

    I'm surprised how low suicide rates are at 2%. If I were an old sick person and steadily becoming more of a burden, there's no way in hell I would just leave it to nature to decide…

    It's a Tesla fanboy/investor website. They used to have the $TSLA stock ticker right on the front page. Commentor opinions on any other car company are even more useless than the a…

    Transplanted kidneys get rejected by the recipient's immune system eventually, you'd really need to clone the kidney from the individual's DNA to solve the rejection problem. There…

    You skipped any attempt to prove his statements wrong, this is just reddit-level sneering with zero discussion material.

    It's been like 18 months of Google saying they're putting genAI into all their services, it's 100% your fault if this is a surprise for you. "We need to push for the right to opt o…

    They took 1 step at a time instead of trying to take multiple steps at a time, how is that a bad thing. They're obviously getting things prep'd for Chrome agents and Gemini 3.

    I think if Google trained current models on private data, confidential info would leak constantly, it would be an absolute trainwreck. If Gemini leaked your Gmail and Chrome activi…

    This response is good but the more general problem is that people are in "It doesn't look like anything to me" mode like Westworld robots seeing advanced technology. If there's a w…

    I think it's just a simple case of "when times are good, people cooperate, when times are bad, they turn on each other." And right now, we're somewhere in-between, where things hav…

    Right now it's the at-risk people, who maybe were going to fall into some rabbit-hole anyway. When it's the typical/average people that start getting hooked like this, that's going…

    This is called the "Man bites dog" bias. The many people who don't commit suicide because an AI confidant helped them out are never ever gonna make the news. Meanwhile the opposite…

    If Harris was president, this letter would probably say "We proudly support the future of American scholarship and inclusion over simple-minded emotional reactions".

    If Dems put any strategy into winning elections, they would never have picked Hillary, Biden, or Harris.

    Just in time for the midterm elections? Seems like the Dems have this handed to them on a silver platter, but they're so bad at winning elections, it probably still won't matter.

    They're not going to suddenly become competent enough to implement something like that.

    Absolutely not happening. If robots get versatile enough to clean a random home, then they'll be good enough for higher-value work like being a robotic soldier or building more rob…
