Just going to leave this here with proof that Elmo said cars would be fully driving themselves by 2018: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/autonomous-driving/timeline-of-tesla-self-driving-aspirations-a9686689375/

It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as "rigged".

Yeah, Tesla made this claim about the model X being full self driving in 5 years and being able to become an autonomous taxi while you weren't using it. Still waiting on that one...

I promise you there are older and weirder people in the world who can still find love and fulfillment. Yeah it might be harder, but it is still possible. The most important step is to take care of yourself first. Seriously, look into therapy or support groups. You are not alone in this struggle.

I mean this in the kindest way possible: I think you need some mental health support. Failure isn't something you are, it's merely something that happens and it happens to the best of us. You can always change, but it takes some effort and the will to change. Having more self-esteem will really help you find the type of sexual relationship you seem to be seeking.

They're too late, there's going to be way too much AI generated garbage in their data and so many social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter have already taken measures to curb scrapers.

My new rule of social media: Unless I know and trust the person or the organization making a post, I assume it's worthless unless I double check it against a person or organization I trust. Opinions are also included in this rule.

The post mentioned a wireless mesh network, so it sounds like the ISP/provider already has a bunch of wireless access points set up to cover the whole building. One of the problems with high-density living spaces is that there are only a limited number of communication channels WiFi can use, so if everyone living there also runs their own wireless networks they use up all the available channels and have to cross-talk over eachother, leading to everything slowing down.

Before Elon acquired Twitter, the platform enforced an one-sided policy of censoring right-wing points of view. It even started actively shielding the left from any criticism, such as when the Hunter Biden Laptop story was blatantly censored so as to not affect Joe Biden's presidential campaign negatively.

What's funny is that there are a slew of articles from 2019 to 2022, before Musk's takeover, talking about a study that found Twitter's algorithm actually had a right wing bias because conservative opinions generated higher engagement (both positive and negative) so it boosted them more than liberal ones.

Also Elon has censored many news stories about himself and his companies since his acquisition. He hasn't stopped censorship, he merely took control of it.

To make it the same as Pascal's Wager. Many religions have a "reward" in the afterlife that strictly includes believing in the deity. It doesn't matter if you follow every other rule and are an amazingly good person, sorry, but if you were an atheist or believed in another deity then you will be punished eternally just because of that. I guess all-powerful, all-knowing beings have incredibly fragile egos and AI wouldn't be different. 🤷

Unfortunately advertising doesn't work on the majority of their users who are bots. 🤷

When a company takes on shareholders, whatever goals, mission, or ethos they had is erased. They now exist as a vehicle to make as much money as possible at literally any cost. That's it. Was nice while it lasted.
