It all boils down to claws scratching skin and clothes.

Just make 'em ungendered.

This reads like SPAM.
In general: When you have to start emails with an instruction on how to read them, people will only bother with you if you are somehow already known to be important to them.

I watched the Mad Max movies. This looks absolutely not like anything in them.

Yeah, not everyone can afford to just buy a Thai girl to take care of that.

Asmongold trolling all sides never gets old.

Nice to see that at least in the hardware market, competition still works. It is normal for companies who don’t offer competitive value for the money to just fail. This is how market economies are meant to work.

It takes a long time to fully deplete the male population of a country like Ukraine. They are Slavs and fight till the end (literally to the last Ukrainian). The US just needs to keep Starlink available and keep feeding targeting info. Ukraine does the rest. Sure, they will eventually run out of men. But they will then send the women too and keep the fight going for another few years.
Ukraine is the best-possible proxy ever. That war will keep going with or without further western funding.

It’s always the time and always has been.
But the actual problem to be solved is not the system, but the minority of people who always rise to the top in any system and ruin it for everyone else. There are always positions of power and people happy to exploit them. That is something, no system so far was able to solve.

The answer to “copyright” overreach is just piracy. I can play pirated games, watch pirated movies, listen to pirated music… Of course, I will be able to just use a pirated model locally. Or I can just use a Chinese or Russian one - they can speak English just fine.

Russia is occupied with Ukraine for the next ten years.

Actually a good point. Being regime changed by the US is the #1 cause of death of socialist governments. They usually become either religious dictatorships or drug lord monarchies afterward.

It’s totally fine to just use industrial premade stuff and keep the creative part to adding the spice of your choice to it.
Just remember that you need quite a list of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids - and a surprising amounts of protein for the body to function properly. So if you really like instant ramen a lot, you might need to supplement what’s missing.

Can’t he see all that porn traffic?
The porn sites are usually blocklisted by AI companies because they don’t want their LLMs and image gens to generate porn.

“ASMR” makes it only return the wholesome pages.

Yeah, that is how you make sure that you stay a quasi monopoly and can keep taking that massive middle man cut.
It makes no economic sense for a corporation to play fair and allow competition to rise.

I take the gold. I like shiny gold and dollar bills would look stupid in my hoard.

No shit, Sherlock.
And people would actually happily get addicted to an AI assistant which is reliable, safe, capable, kind, and fast.
They really should try making a great product. Then they don’t need any tricks. People love great products.

Valve is one of the less evil ones. But GOG didn’t need to be forced by court to have a no-questions-asked 30 days return policy.

Gamers can buy wherever they want. But game devs either sell on Steam or they basically don’t sell at all.
It’s not a full monopoly. He just has a quasi monopoly. And there are rumors that devs who sell cheaper on other platforms risk not being shown to buyers on Steam…
With great power comes great opportunity for abusing that power to take more middle man tax.
