Monkeys paw curls. History is changed to accurately reflect films.

It's why Nazis have taken control of the US.

At this point I'd prefer the Chinese government to track me over US companies. The Chinese government won't let the US government access its databases, whereas Google will.

Yeah. At this point as an American I'm way less worried about in the Chinese government tracking me than I am with the US government. The Chinese government is evil, but I don't live in China.

Definitely don't remind people to leave their phones at home or use a Faraday bag to shield their tech.

They're not just cameras. They also log nearby mobile devices. They've gone from a few hundred nationwide to over 100,000 in like 2 years.

They also love to publish stuff exclusively through Amazon so libraries won't get it.

The thing with the bubble bursting is it will still take time for it to come down, as they'll need to start manufacturering consumer RAM again. The stuff they're churning out now can't be thrown into a PC or laptop.

And they'll NEVER allow prices to drop back to reasonable levels. They've already learned people will pay a premium during a shortage, so they can still artificially control the supply to keep prices high.

If competitors ever emerge making RAM at reasonable prices, we need to boycott the current fuckwads even when they undercut the new players.

4: Kickoff, field goal, extra point, and punt.

Though kickoff is the only one where an entire legal play can occur without hands touching the ball, since the others require a deep snap from the center.

That was also when the CAFE standards changed and suddenly small trucks became effectively illegal since fuel economy standards started being based on vehicle footprint.

It's why trucks started growing in size so much. The manufacturers figured out it was easier to make cars bigger than to make them more effecient.

I had a video of a newsworthy event a while back that went viral, and I made over 5 grand on it over the course of about 2-3 years when YouTube changed its monetization policy to require like 10k subscribers or something before the creator could monetize.

The video didn't stop getting views. It had a spike in views just a few weeks ago when something similar happened in the same area. But I haven't made any money from it in like 8 years.

The US bombed a girl's school in the opening salvos against Iran because their AI fucked up.

Missiles that miss their target still hit something.

The employees and shareholders of the AI companies should be held responsible. Make RICO cases out of it.
