Well, these guys aren’t working, as far as I’m concerned, if they can do it without bringing out a mouse and real keyboard and probably a second monitor. (My laptop bag is pretty heavy.) They can at best be checking emails.

Definitely finding a cafe with a plug. I don’t want to be outside.

Co-pilot slowed down my work machine to near unusable, and they make it pretty hard to get rid of. I’m not anti-AI at all and I hate co-pilot because of how it was deployed. Windows in general got in the habit of hiding options from users and installing things like security that bogs down the computer more than helps but can’t be easily turned off.

Well, I think you’re wrong about the soil being very special, but my plan was a bad one for a completely different reason. I was supposing they were mostly after the people and the wealth that left China when Tiwan broke away from China during the civil war and many of the richer people moved there, sort of like when all the rich people left Cuba to live in Miami when the communists took over there.

The bigger reason not to abandon Taiwan is that it is a strategic point where china can menace the pacific islands and Guam a little easier. As it is they are pushing around the Philippine fishermen and encroaching into their area, taking over reefs that would belong to the Philippines or other countries and trying to make little base islands and Taiwan would be a better staging area.

How big is Taiwan? The US should give Taiwan a section of California about that big to be the new Taiwan. Then empty the country out, burn everything and salt the fields and give the useless island to China.

I remember when mice were a neat new peripheral for use with graphical interfaces instead of typing in a command line.

I think they are worried because this comic proved that AI is actually pretty good at making comics. The last frame being the best frame.

you’re unhinged

When a company makes a product completely by hand, but uses AI for a few translations it gets the same label as a game pumped out of Grok and uploaded untouched. That label is misleading and punitive, not informative.

It’s just reality. Selecting a bunch of textures nobody has seen before through AI but hand crafting the rest of the game would force them to wear the scarlet letters on their front, and open them up to brigading by the brainwashed NeoLuddite mob. That move by steam to appease the pitchfork masses is pretty heavy handed.

What an insanely non-issue to clutch one’s pearls at… Between Luddites and Trumpites, this is the worst timeline…

I fought hard against that for years. I still only use ‘app’ for phone programs, but I stopped correcting people every time they used the term for anything else. It isn’t technically wrong, but it grates on my nerves for some reason.
