I love that you didn’t feel the confidence in keeping this comment.
I still know what it said though, so I’m going to respond to it anyway.
Yeah, you’re absolutely right. One of the advantages not been in American it is I get to view everything from the outside. All your politicians lately have been absolute trash, but at least biden probably wouldn’t have plunged the world into uncertainty over Russian interference.
Part of the problem is a lack of information. It’s out there if you go digging for it but only if you go digging for it.
You need to introduce some media laws that restrict people from using the word “News” is any case but actual journalism. Also anyone who uses the phrase “alternative facts” should be executed, there are no such things as alternative facts, they’re called “lies”.
I have to imagine that Trump will probably insist that he’s interred in a glass case or something rather like Stalin. We won’t even have to do any embalming either because I imagine the bronzer will probably prevent decomposition.
And then the conservatives wouldn’t shut up about it for about 12 years. I got so sick of hearing them go on about that note.
Oh that’s good that means that when Trump is dead they can move one of them and then they have a spare.
There’s a lot of talk about whether or not there should be some age limit on a president and they’re probably should be, but I think that also needs to be a maturity test. Trump has a level of pettiness normally reserved for teenage girls in badly written YA novels. Imagine being the person that had to make those plaques and then put them up, you’d feel like a prat.
The US has absolutely mad road to traffic laws. Zero concept of lane discipline, you driving whatever lane you feel like. Don’t understand roundabouts even though it’s just a curved road, it’s really not that hard. Still don’t have standardised pedestrian crossings even when other countries had them back in the 1920s. A red traffic light only means stop sometimes, but sometimes you can go if you’re turning right. No one obeys the speed limit, people regularly exceed it, and see no problem with that. And of course no one has separate indicator lights and brake lights because when would you ever slow down and go around a corner, definitely no need to engineer for that eventuality.
Yeah the sentence should really be rewritten as “to capture knowledge already accessible on the internet, and repackage it into an utterly pointless hallucinating RAM guzzling money pit”
What aspect of any of this makes you think she’s a gold digger the article never says virtually anything about her except she wants to divorce.
It’s not that quick, the nearest river is about a 25 minute walk from me, I wouldn’t call that convenient. Also it’s raining , so I can’t go now or I’ll get wet.
I haven’t down voted them but I was strongly inclined to do so.
It’s an argumentative comment that adds nothing to the conversation. Of course we should protect vulnerable people, but we actually already do do that. At some point someone has to take responsibility for their own susceptibility to manipulation, such as recognise you can no longer make sound financial decisions and give power of attorney to someone else. Otherwise it is their fault they’re getting manipulated.
Just because of victim is over the age of 40 doesn’t mean that they’re mentally infeebled. This attitude ignores the underlying issue which is that quite a lot of people are just quite stupid.
We do protect the vulnerable from bad actors, when anybody tries to make large transfers of money the banks are required to check the validity of the transaction but ultimately if the individual insists what’s the bank supposed to do. It’s their money.
There is only so much that it is possible to do, and beyond a certain point you have to accept that scams are either going to happen or just take people’s ability to control of their own money away from them, neither are particularly good options.
It’s kind of worrying that that’s all it took to get him to drain his bank account. The Elon Musk deep fake was probably unnecessary, he seems like the type to fall for the very obvious Nigerian Prince scam of old.
The old saying goes, it’s impossible to fool and honest man, and I don’t know if that’s necessarily true or not, but it’s definitely easier to con someone who genuinely thinks it’s posable to get something for nothing. People like that tend to not take responsibility for their own lives and think that the world owes them something. People like that are a con man’s best friend.
I feel like it’s not just being tech-savvy though. He seems to lack basic common sense.
Why would you assume that a free car giveaway would necessitate you paying transfer fees, why wouldn’t that have already been pre-arranged. After all it’s a Tesla car presumably Tesla the ones who are going to deliver it. Additionally why would the competition be exclusive to a niche Facebook group and not a national campaign. It all just seems very obviously a scam.
My parents aren’t particularly tech savvy and often send me AI garbage but they wouldn’t be easy marks because both of them have critical thinking skills, or at least my mother does. But my dad has learnt to do what he’s told.
I didn’t actually witness, this but one of these scam call centres called my bosses bosses well he was attending a cybersecurity conference. Unfortunately there’s no actual video of the event but apparently everyone involved had a good time stringing the idiot along for about 45 minutes.
I’m colour blind so there’s basically only three colours on this graph but what I’m assuming is showing is that windows is decreasing in popularity and apparently so is OS X. I’m assuming the other colour is Linux or Chrome but no idea which is which.
For future reference, when making graphs make them in black and white first and if they are visually distinct then you can add whatever colours you want.
Oh good. AI is collapsing and it’s taking Oracle with it.
I’m not sure how it’s an arms race given the fact that it can’t do anything remotely useful.
