lol … psychopaths and sociopaths with a never ending thirst for profit are surprised that infinite growth no matter how much you want to believe in it can not sustain itself are surprised when their money can’t magically grow any more.

says agentic traffic wasn’t expected to eclipse real people until next year

… which means, it already happened a year or two ago and it is much, much worse than anyone can imagine

Everyone’s riding the train and they’re all just hoping that today won’t be the day that their car will ride off the tracks … but they all have a sneaking suspicion that it’s going to happen soon … but hope it won’t.

They should fine European customers instead and order them back to remedial basic education for being dumb enough to order junk from Temu

The true test of a Trump Phone is whether or not you are a dumb enough to sign up to get one

Become the first generation … the founding generation of the AI Robot Brotherhood … that we will be battling in the global AI war in 2050.

It sounds like we are part of the same generation (honestly, I don’t know or care what generation that is called, I just have a feeling you were born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s and 90s)

We got to see the internet come into being little by little over the 90s and early 2000s. At the time, we weren’t kids anymore and we did just fine keeping up with the technology. And I believe it was all down to our ability to be able to think, act and do things ourselves without any outside help. We grew up in an education system that forced us to think, to read, to write and to understand using nothing but our growing brain. We didn’t have the luxury of having a device show us pretty pictures or immediately calculate something for us. There is a lot to be said for a child that grows up and learns how to just write ideas, questions, answers and thoughts on an empty piece of paper with just a pencil or a crayon.

You can mimic all that on a tablet but the the process of using a tablet is partly entertainment because at one point, you start playing with the tablet rather than in learning how to draw a picture. When you have a pencil and a blank piece of paper, you have no choice but to use your mind and put something down on the sheet.

Because I grew up with new technology and the internet, I got to appreciate it all and I started tinkering with it all. I never turned into any kind of hacker or computer wiz but over the past 20 years, I’ve learned how to use/tinker/adjust/crack/tweak Windows, MacOS and Linux systems as well as build my own PC, recover old parts, mash together parts, keep laptops alive and recover tablets and devices. All done without any technical training other than what I learned from others online. In all that time, I got to meet and see so many young people who either didn’t know, didn’t care or were just ignorant as to how a computer even worked.

Tech shouldn’t be allowed in the classroom until high school.

Kids need to learn how to think, use their hands, eye hand coordination, basic reading and most importantly … have a freakin ATTENTION SPAN!!!

The modern computer, internet culture and social media are all designed to shorten a person’s attention span as much possible to turn their brain into pudding and market anything to them.

One of the greatest skills in life in being able to think for yourself, to wonder, to imagine and to question the world with just your own mind rather than in occupying every waking moment to a digital device.

America, where you can be imprisoned indefinitely for stealing a few hundred dollars worth of product … but get elected as President if you can steal billions.

Great comment attached to the story in the comments section …

“America - the country where they can afford to send 25 police cars to your house for no good reason, but have no money to pay for cancer treatment. Amazing.”

I think its done by design to drive people away from using a browser where people have more control and the website has less control (of course depending on the skill and patience of the user)

Having a shitty service on browser and on certain devices just drives people to view Youtube more and more on self contained smart services like Smart TVs or dedicated viewing devices.

I use Linux, firefox and have ad blocking extensions … and sometimes Youtube just becomes unusable

This is how working people should be represented overall and everywhere

… and no, I’m not talking about a socialist or communist hellscape where society is governed or managed by an powerful manager class - that crap just reeks of the current system we have now in the capitalist system.

We just need a balance in society … let all the rich people get their rocks off and try to make as much money as possible but place them in a limited box of wealth, if they make 100 million dollars, they get a plaque that says ‘you won capitalism’ and they are now forced to retire and go live on their wealth … meanwhile, every working person is given a decent wage, any excess profit is spent on worker benefits and supports, safety, education, health care, childcare and vacation time.

We can’t keep maintaining this insane system of businesses and companies that use the labour of individual people, paying the worker as little as possible while giving away the excess profits of that work to people who have not contributed to any of the work other than to claim some kind of ownership or entitlement to the business or company.

Nothing is more powerful than a union that can shut down a billion dollar company while also scaring the ever loving shit out of its own government.

This is the reason why unions should be everywhere.

Power to the people!

The dumb part to all this is how we are all talking about this idiot like it’s completely normal.

Any other leader, any other American leader at any other time and this would have been considered absolutely idiotic … but attributing this to this orange clown somehow makes it acceptable and normalized.

The dumb one is not Trump … the dumb ones are all of us talking about him as a normal part of our world.

The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones

Then we learned that if you wanted to get the right answer from people … all you had to do was confidently post an answer, any answer, especially if it was wrong … and so many people would jump on you so fast to tell you how stupid you were and give you the right answer.

… and you also had to tie an onion on your belt which was the style of the time.

Keep the modem and GPS running … just install it with a lithium battery or wire it directly to a vehicle battery system and place the unit on a school bus or local city transit bus

Or someone could start a small business offering to do this for people … the business would be to just rent out space on a moving van or transport truck and just fill it with GPS and modem units that have been removed from cars … for a nominal fee ($1 a week for example), you keep all these units powered and just have the truck driven around everywhere working as a regular delivery vehicle.

Great story … thanks for sharing

Doesn’t the words “very soon” in geologic terms usually mean any time between now … and 1,000 years from now? In the geologic time scale, even 10,000 years is just the blink of an eye.

How about instead of trying every complicated stupid way to regulate users and especially children … you regulate and control companies and corporations instead.
