Trump is almost 1:1 a character straight from Transmetropolitan.

Then you have people like Elon that are straight from any cyberpunk media corporate heads.

The parallels between the themes of a cyberpunk dystopia and the present are drawing pretty close.

We just don’t get any of the cool shit like cybernetic implants.

No not Pee-wee :(

Big Adventure is an absolute classic. It should be revered on the same level as Princess Bride imo.

That’s because the government has had tech way beyond even what we have today. They just peace-meal it out to us bro. They’ve been coordinating mass propaganda against us 1984 style since like. Before 1984.

Also. The government is so incompetent they can’t provide health care better than private insurance companies. Obviously.

I noticed that too. It’s not even a good logo to steal, it’s always felt old.

Lol. Just for shits and giggles I want to entertain this for a second.

You’d probably want to pay hackers in a country that isn’t friendly with the US to do this. Russia, North Korea, China, Iran.

Three of those countries are heavily sanctioned right now. I wouldn’t want sketchy money flowing to Russia at the moment even if it didn’t technically fall under sanctions since money flow is being scrutinized. Same with NK and Iran.

So that would leave China. I think you could get away with it there pretty easily.

And lo and behold….

:tinfoilhat:

With that said though. Getting that info leaked out would be extremely damaging and totally not worth the risk.

I thought Teams was more of a curse than a competitor.

Kidding aside. It’d be nice if we stopped these massive corporations from hoovering up other businesses BEFORE antitrust complaints are needed. But that’ll never happen.

I’m not surprised they used Reddit data to train. I am shocked a bit at how fucking lazy and haphazard they were with the data.

There’s only logical arguments for anonymizing the data which it looks like they didn’t do. It’s such a massive privacy risk not to. It also puts the company at legal risk. Who knows what other bizarre info it’ll leak.

I purposely bought the base dash on my Focus ST. Screen is smaller than a phone like 4 inches at most, has no apps. It Bluetooth syncs my phone for music and calls. There’s no touchscreen, all interactions are dedicated knobs and buttons.

For GPS I just use my phone and audio directions, my smart watch has the upcoming direction as well. If I really don’t know where I’m going I have a dash mount for my phone if I need it. But that’s not often.

It’s great honestly and the dash doesn’t blind me driving at night.

I was also looking at a Mazda before I got this car and their dash is absolutely horrendous. It’s like they just took a Alibaba knock off iPad and welded it on top of the dash. It’s literally in your view of the road causing a small blind spot.

Sorry I have to laugh at this. If you have to write a script for it even if the script is easy there’s no way I can consider it “not hard”. Not hard is just being able buy it like anything else.

I get what you’re saying though.
