The people are much cooler, atmosphere chiller, less corporate food/drink options, and damned if half the stadiums are better than the disgusting piss pits large stadiums are.

Harvard Professor Warns That AI Execs Are Pushing World Toward Factory Farming of Humans

Your body can produce electricity to power the data centers to serve you misinformation and ads through your Meta Cortex Interface. "Housing" might be a generous interpretation but they will keep you alive as long as you output more energy than your body costs to keep alive. The future is bright.

[Exclusive] Google builds Korea team for full-functioning Maps service
So Palantir is a go, Google partnership is expanding...Koreans being sold out by their corrupt business lobbies. Naver and Kakao aren't any better in their designs but at least they weren't part of the global Borg of US tech.
Korea should be working to establish tech independence with their highly educated, technical economy and society, not chaining themselves to the past with Zombie America.

If you were an NPC in a game and only had one line of dialogue, what would it be?
Remember the crazy hermit in Ravenholm in HL2 who won't help you until you complete some tasks? He speaks at you over a loudspeaker and then through a slit in a door IIRC. It's a beautifully designed level.
Anyway, I'd like to tip my hat to that crochety character by being an NPC who recites the Gettysburg Address during an epic onslaught.

IIRC, rule of thumb is 90% of wine should be consumed within a year. A minority of types do benefit from aging but it's an outdated stereotype.

Those of you who have a gift or a passion that doesn’t pay enough to be financially independent and have a job to pay the bills, what does it look like?
Reply in thread
Yes, the idea that if something isn't monetized it's not worth doing is why we have 5 billion "influencers" on YouTube and the rest, though some of that is because a full time job in the Exploit Economy doesn't even pay for regular cost of living so people are working after work instead of living.

Delta Will Use AI To Cut Costs And Set A Different Ticket Price For Every Passenger—CEO Says Profits Could Rise 50%
Reply in thread
The airlines do fine; they sell miles/points to banks who actually have money. Almost all US carriers are worth little or negative but their rewards programs have large valuations.
If you pay your bills in full and don't pay interest you are beating the system, and it is "OMG free flights"/hotels/cash. You do give away tons of purchase info but you're giving that away anyway unless you're using cash.

I haven't paid for a plane ticket since 2012. Made a huge hobby of credit card churning. Probably flew 200k miles on them. Otherwise I'd be skiplagging as the next best option.

Can we ban this?
Indeed recently made it so you can no longer store your resume to attach easily to applications; it was too useful. Now they auto -move you into a "were processing this with AI" workflow so that you won't need your resume anymore (of course after you've fixed all their shit AI parsing of your resume) you'll just need Indeed.
We definitely need a new horse in the race other than indeed and LinkedIn.

Amazon is more clever than that; it's why they bought Ring 10 years ago. They can throw their own camera and network into their drones.
