And almost no one writes it for fun.

You’re right, on top of the other problems I mentioned, it also has poor quality control.

The Cybertruck. It’s dangerous, wasteful, impractical, and sold by a Nazi, but I actually like the appearance.

I’ve seen some sentiment (artificial, I’m sure) that artificial diamonds are “too perfect,” but I don’t think it’s really catching on. It definitely seems like Gen X is the last generation to really care about expensive diamonds, which is good.

Diamonds are as artificially inflated as stocks. NFTs are no longer artificially inflated, they’re correctly recognized as worthless.

Robocop’s intelligence is natural, it’s the rest of him that’s artificial.

Fair enough. I wish them well in the effort. It would be nice if Nvidia threw them a bone, though, what with all the AI money and their GPUs being used in so many Linux supercomputers and servers.

I’m not sure if the closed-source drivers have social media garbage on them at the moment, but I’m very sure that I don’t trust Nvidia not to add it.

You don’t want to, though. They’re horrible. There’s an insane amount of effort that would be required to reverse-engineer drivers since Nvidia is at best negligent. AMD and Intel are much better about OSS.

They won’t always admit it, but they definitely imply it.

They have three categories: “biological woman,” which is a fertile cis woman with XX chromosomes and a vulva; “biological man,” which is a fertile or formerly fertile cis man with XY chromosomes; and undesirables, who are everyone else and are referred to by whichever terminology is convenient for them at any given point.
