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…

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…

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