I feel like everyone is talking about these glasses and I've never seen anyone wearing them. Not saying it's not happening but I think it's a US thing

Is it just a power of glasses with plastic lenses and a camera or do they actually have any other features, because if it's just a camera then they're really isn't any legitimate market.

We should now ask them if they have any evidence that water is wet

Requiring a grand jury for a case of vandalism is ridiculous in and of itself.

That case is way too political. Common sense has gone out of the window there.

Every time they ever move him around every cop in the area always seems to need to be involved. It's not like he's accused of slaughtering an entire precinct with nothing but his bare hands or anything, supposedly he shot one person with a gun that he obviously no longer has. I'm really not sure why they treat him as Hannibal lecter.

Why doesn't he try being less of a skid mark, I feel like that would be a good direction for him to take his personality. Far apart from anything else if you didn't constantly take the evil root he would probably make more money.

Like the metaverse thing, it could have actually worked if literally any of one other than Mark Zuckerberg had been in charge of the project.

Excellent graphics but boring story.

Yeah that's right, you can't think of any actual game can you. They don't make anything anymore except sports games and infinite Sims expansion packs.

What are you talking about perfect being the enemy of good. Yup this isn't in marginally effective solution, it's an utterly ineffective solution.

That houses on fire and your train to claim that pouring salt all over the place is going to have any effect. Not only is the fire completely ignoring your efforts but you're also getting in the way.

If you don't want AI companies downloading your data don't upload it to the internet.

It wouldn't be worth it anyway. Assuming we're trying to compete with YouTube you'd want fairly long fairly high quality videos, 25 minute video at 4k (reasonable length and resolution for 2026) would take between 12 and 13 gigabytes of storage, assuming some videos are slightly shorter or slightly low quality maybe 1080p you could personally contribute about four to five videos on your storage plan. At which point you wonder whether or not it's even worth the effort.

Even one terabyte storage drive wouldn't store enough videos to really make a competitive product.

The only reason that YouTube can make it work is because they get their storage in bulk and therefore get massive discounts.

This means that even if Google was broken up I can't see YouTube being a viable standalone product.

What a ridiculous strawman.

By all means do something but make sure that the thing you are doing is effective and isn't wasting time while simultaneously making life more difficult for other people.

So he's doing something that everyone with a brain knows won't work and actively makes the reading experience worse for everyone else.

I don't know what the Dunning Kruger version of protesting is, but he's it. Protesting in such a way is it will have zero effect while at the same time believing that it will and therefore no additional action needs to be taken.

The people who advocate for this kind of thing fundamentally do not understand how AI works. Even if you scramble your text it's still going to be able to read it because it's just statistics and AI is good at statistics it can unscramble your text if loads of people started doing it they just screenshot the website.

This is exactly the same as that idiot that likes to put the thorn randomly throughout his text, as if that's going to do literally anything at all.
