For a story like that how do you know "no one" went there? Do you read every newspaper and watch every news report? It's been debunked to death and was a rumor that was posted to F…

My guess is you can trace a lot of those publications to a handful of conglomerates that are there for ROI and nothing else.

It's also directed by one of the best directors in history.

> Most people have terrible eyes for distinguishing content. But also in the case of the fluffy train there's nothing to compare it against. The reason CGI humans look the most fak…

I'm wondering that as well but I also wonder if it's a bit like CGI where it's somewhat hit a limit on realness. I'm not saying CGI doesn't get better but is a 2024 Gollum that muc…

> But debanking happens, or has happened, to _almost_ everybody who has some assets and cash, probably from the higher middle class until the ~1% Can you back up this claim? The we…

It's funny how humans and companies have mined natural resources for theoretical progress, but we've come to a point that natural resources are being used to mine a fake resource t…

Have you seen Youtube or Reddit comments on anything? They don't reflect real-life. Youtube is probably the worst, most trollish comments of the "normal" internet and Reddit is a s…

I look at Brave as another business looking to take their cut as a middleman between users and creators. It's an ad network that takes the 30% cut like Apple does to apps making ov…

I don't have an answer to this, but why if the algorithm can manipulate people, regardless of who directed it, why are we ok with the algorithmic content of all the platforms? I'm …

I would imagine 95% of cookies are not selling data but giving your data away in exchange for the other services. 1. Because they are using GA4 feeding info to Google. 2. Because t…

Net worth $1.6B. So eating a $6M banana is a PR stunt. Edit: Also doesn't mean it can't be resold as that banana gets replaced x number of days.

I honestly like my photos more from my iPhone 3 than my current iPhone SE. The photos were blurry, noisy, and crunchy while my current photos are just flat and without character. I…

This is brilliant

It's more about people with a lot of money hoping to sell it for a greater return, while maybe also having shit taste in art. In five years it'll be at an auction and sell to some …

> Imagine creating a game by describing scenes, like the ones in the article, with a good morphing technology between scenes, so that the transitions between them are like auto-gen…

I have no idea but look at it from the perspective of the US Department of Defense. Also, companies like Google make ~$8B in profit every three months for selling ads. Is it really…

Chips are the new oil. They run everything and without them you would be outdroned in the case of a war.

Not entirely. I would buy one if there was one I liked that was in the price range I want to spend. It would be practical as in I don't want to pay $25k more than an ICE car for th…

They bought that though.

It seems a bit cultural, a bit practical, and maybe a bit political? Tesla is an American company and seems like it was selling cars. There's no one stopping them so I'm not sure t…

People who pay for a working game to play probably care. I'm not a gamer but I occassionally will try to pop something in every six months or so. Two hours later after I have to si…

I don't know anything about this comic, but word balloons going over part of a face is not a good sign for a quality book.

We probably live in different places because I haven't found people to be all that rude where I've lived (cities), but America is huge and has hundreds of different cultures so I'm…
