It wouldn’t be that hard to write a tool to pull from all of your social media accounts, Twitter, Facebook, Lemmy, I assume blue sky has an API, and just dump it into a big text file that you could give to a AI. I assume it understands CSV format.

Obviously Reddit is out of the question.

But I would only be comfortable giving an AI that much information about myself if it was 100% running locally. Which is probably why no one’s done it yet.

I was thinking more like White Christmas but yeah.

If I can make a version of me that likes its job then that will be a deviation from the template that’s worth having. Assuming this technology actually worked, an exact digital replica of me isn’t particularly useful, It’s just going to automate the things I was going to do anyway but if I was going to do them anyway they aren’t really a hassle worth automating.

What I want is a version that has all of my knowledge, but infinitely more patience and for preference one that actually understands tax law. I need an AI to do the things I hate doing, but I can see the advantage of customizing it with my values to a certain extent.

Sex is pretty popular. Which I guess is an accurate observationed on the human condition.

Well it was accidental so that’s all right.

It really was convenient though.

No they don’t.

It means the screen is damaged. If you’ve not dropped it then it’s a manufacturing defect. It isn’t common

It’s also insane that a judge with a vested interest in one of the claimants, doesn’t have to automatically recuse themselves.

It also wouldn’t fly in the EU anyway.

Any lawsuits have to be brought in the country in which the citizen bringing the suit lives. So if I wanted to sue Twitter I literally would have to do them where I live. There is no way for me to sue them in Texas since I’m not a citizen of Texas or the US.

He bought it to manipulate the election but at the same time would also like it to make profit because he’s an unreasonable prick.

This was never going to end well.

Wouldn’t that end up being hundreds of gigabytes per region file?

Pacific Drive is on the list.

There’s literally no reason not to do that. The game has long since made money and keeping it out of public ownership is now not doing anyone any favors.

Some studios are just intransigent.

As much as I like them I don’t think you can call them a competitor.

I’ve seen games that are available on both platforms that sell hundreds of times more copies on Steam simply because of steam’s reputation.

A competitor actually has to be able to compete.

It doesn’t need to be anything complicated. If you just re-upload the original code to a new location, and then Nintendo has to start the entire process of tracking the uploader down in order to threaten them.

Ironically for a video games company Nintendo don’t really seem to quite understand how the modern world works.

He also didn’t say his name three times in 10 seconds. Then sort of fade off and vaguely look off into the distance.

They said to me Donald, Donald, they said Donald, they do amazing things, real bigly things, my father, my father, said to me Donald, they do big things Google land. Really good things… Yeah… Big things…

With a preserved “shadow” of the keyboard

Hydro is great but it’s not clean it requires you to flood vast areas of land, it’s quite damaging to wildlife.

It is also highly situation dependent, you be quiet exactly the right kind of geography in order to be able to build hydro and then you require that there is no one living in the affected area otherwise it gets very expensive very quickly assuming you’re allowed to do it at all.

So as far as I can tell the idea here is to just continuously piss off Nintendo forever with a never-ending game of whack-a-mole?

Uh you’re using tailwind, the future really is bleak

You have to have some base load it can’t be all renewable because renewables just aren’t reliable enough. The only way to get 100% reliability from solar for example would be to build a ring of panels around the equator (type 1 civilization stuff).

Of all the options for base load, nuclear is the least worst, at least until we can get Fusion online, but you know that’s always 20 years away.
