It’s of course hard to tell, but I think we should not leave out the possibility of them showing their influence, without doing much actual damage.

Edit: The “Collective Shout” thing had fallen out of my memory, but I am still convinced adult games were an easy target, that would have little damage to the payment processors while flexing those “we boss” muscles.

I am convinced most humans have a bit of sadism built in, and some even a lot.

Airbus Pinto?

Sounds about rightwing

“We ain’t found shit!” Tim Russ as an unnamed Spaceball before becoming Lt. Commander Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager.

Toddlers that grab carelessly left guns and play with them I think

Yeah, this. All the charisma-free minions will probably try to do a power grab the moment Donnie snuffs it.

The IMF has kept an account of fossil fuel subsidies over the years. Explicit amount in 2024: .73b usd, 0.6% of global gdp. Implicit 6.7 trillion, 5.8% of global gdp.

Try Cockney rhyming slang

Aside from that, it’s very elaborate code and not exactly free of issues. But worry not, it’s tested with more genai.

GenAI is extremely destructive technology, so it deserves all the hate thrown at it, and the usefulness is still so-so at best.

Why did I only see this after all my typing

I would start trying it out. Download the image, get an empty usb stick of serious size (32GB or more, up from 8 should be no problem though if you can find it) and use eg Rufus Disk Imagerto install it on the usb stick. When done, restart the computer i to the bios or boot menu (look at the message when starting, f1 f2 del or enter should drop you into bios, f12 on some computers drops you straight into a boot menu).
Feom bios go to boot menu, from boot menu to usb stick and select the option “boot from usb stick”.
Note the login and password should be in the documentation close to the image.

I think - and believe me, it wouldn’t be the first time I encounter this - that OP assumes Linux is like an app in Windows or Mac. Ao, grossly oversimplifying, Windows, MacOS and Linux are today’s most popular operating systems. An Operating System or OS is software that sits all alone directly on top of the hardware; therefore, a computer has only 1 OS. These are not interchangeable either, ie you cannot run Linux as an app in Windows or vice versa. Now, what you can do is download an image of any OS online. An image is in the end just a storage device copied into a zip file with a bit of extra data, that you can “unpack” back onto a storage device that can be used to boot your computer, just like windows.

Excuse me! Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Unique Local Addresses? You too can have NAT issues on your modern addressing system!

It’s amazing that Hank can come to this conclusion since basically every genai company is hiding their resource usage. (Well, actually not that amazing as Hank has gone completely on the side (and gets sponsored by) these companies and is strongly biased).

I don’t know anything about their situation and neither do you. I’ve known parents at 16/18 who did a good job (with help of their parents), and I know adult parents who should have had a snip the moment they were born. Sure it’s going to be hard for teenagers, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to be bad.

She’s no longer an orphan so I guess yeah, she is.

You say this, but I have seen some of the movies that adults watch, and Frozen is an erudite and intellectual tour de force compared to those. And no, I am not even talking about adult movies.
