I regularly have YouTube channels on in the background as I work. After a few auto play recommendations that I wasn’t paying attention to, I ran into a couple about astronomy and I got excited for a second, because it was talking about the discovery of Planet X and other stuff… But as I paid attention to it, I recognised some blatant falsehoods, and it began to repeat itself with different verbage. It was really weird stuff too because I enjoy watching/listening to conspiracy and paranormal stuff.

I looked at the channel description and found out it was an entirely AI content generated account/channel. I was flabbergasted.

Imagine getting written up by your supervisor because you dared to look away from your monitor take your VR headset off to give your eyes a break

Not enough apparently

If you want a good book series that explores unchecked rampant corporatocracies in the near/distant future, check out The Unincorporated Man. 10/10

My w10 machine says it doesn’t meet minimum requirements for w11. I’m safe!

That’s a good point, and you’re probably right. With how expensive it is to survive, not to mention American healthcare, I don’t think I mind the tradeoff. I’d rather die immediately than have lifelong injuries I can’t pay for nor work off.

Well shit, I thought they were talking about cockrings too.

For real. If I’m getting an EV, I’m getting it for efficiency, not luxury. I wouldn’t be traveling across the state or the country. I’d be using it to get to work and get the groceries. You can’t tell me it’s not possible to make something with an electric motor, spartan accessories, and a decent range for less than 12-15k. Seriously, I don’t want a car that drives itself. I don’t really even want automatic transmissions, although electric almost negates the need for any transmission. I just want a car that is cheap, does the job, and that I don’t have to chop my left nut off for these days.
