I dunno, they’re donating millions and giving golden trophies to the big orange man. Seems like they’re plenty scared, just not how we’d want them to be.

desperate

I mean, they were losing it to the British or selling it. Kinda had to unload it for cheap.

Nobody earns a trillion (or even a billion) dollars. They take it from someone else.

You could make a religion out of th–

No, don’t.

Yeah. The trouble is that pretty much only humans get Alzheimer’s. In order to make a mouse model, we have to induce a disease state that looks like Alzheimer’s, at least to our best understanding. It’s not unreasonable that our mouse model is just not really representative of the actual disease in humans.

Wow, a movie about show business. What will they think of next?

Reminds me of when the podcast man started talking about the Epstein files and all of the sudden his free-thinking followers started caring about them. And then he hosted the front lawn fight and they all decided they don’t care anymore.

Who is this?

I worked at IBM.

The people that run that place are the biggest corporate brain-rot dumbasses in the world. The only way to climb into their ranks is to be enough of a waste of oxygen that you aren’t threatening.

I was doing a chemistry project. One aspiring corporate idiot couldn’t believe why my group didn’t want to “incorporate blockchain” into our project. He’s a VP now.

If they ever do anything right, it’s only because they’ve run out of dumb shit things to do first. I assume those poor young people they’ll be hiring will be laid off at the first whiff of the next corporate fad.

One side aligns with my views 70% of the time. The other actively wants me and everyone like me to die. I refuse to acknowledge the differences between them. I’ll actually deploy this lack of understanding as a weapon to depress voter turnout and make sure the second group gets to wield power!

Now, hear me out: what if the rubber duck burned tons of energy, poisoned the water and air, caused a global shortage of computer parts, was built with material without the permission of creators, made it easy to make nonconsensual sexual images of people, and lied to you?

People have been begging for big tech companies that rely on open source software to support development. Netflix finally did the dang thing.

More, please!

They went on, however, to question the ethics and judgment of the potentially destructive payload.

Goodness me, the brain-rotted slop fans suddenly care about ethics?

Less expensive: yep

Actually fun colors: yep

Windows is worse than ever: yep

It would have been surprising if this thing wasn’t a hit.

Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)

You sound like the brainwashed masses. He, a billionaire, was much more qualified to determine if someone is fit to practice medicine than some institutional board. Obviously, otherwise he wouldn’t have been a billionaire.

Gee golly, I’m so glad my eyes didn’t have to see the f word, my goodness, that would have been disastrous

The announcement suggests the developer wrote all the code, but used the slop robot to generate assets. Sounds like the issue is that making art assets actually takes skill, and is something most programmer types underestimate.

New goal: nine fives of uptime

I read and enjoyed the book, but the movie improved on some story beats and trimmed some sciencey stuff that wouldn’t have translated well to the screen. Pretty great adaptation.

If you’re considering watching it, do try to avoid the trailers for it. I understand that you have to market the story, but introducing things in ads that should have been delightful surprises kinda stinks.
