It's not like Android is especially open to drive-by contributions anyway. I don't think really changes much for the downstream consumers of the releases.

We'll go from Google sucking up all our data to another entity sucking up all our data and selling it to other people. How much funding does it take to keep Chrome running?

It used to slowly drive haters insane, hence mad haters. There was a theory Napoleon was exposed to excess levels of Arsenic over time although that might have well been background exposure. Nevertheless over time it's not good for you. Neither is lead.

Pre-cut with comedy edges as well. But the methodology seemed valid as another poster said, giving cars the same limited eyesight as us seems like under engineering for safety.

Context is king which is why even the biggest models get tied in knots when I try them on my niche coding problems. I've been playing a bit with NotebookLM which promises to be interesting with enough reference material but unfortunately when I tried to add the Vulcan specs it complained it couldn't accept them (copyright maybe?).

We have recently been given clearance to use the Gemini Pro tools with Google office at work. While we are still not using them for code generation I have found the transcription and meeting summary tools very useful and certainly a time saver.

I don't doubt the a MAGA crowd leant into the Q conspiracy and were happy to co-opt it's adherents into it's electoral base. However is there any evidence that links its genesis to the like of Banon? Most of what I heard (from across the pond, indirectly) was more traditional wedge issues like anti-DEI and anti-trans rhetoric.

A corrupted Mrs Davies?

You need to pair 1984 with Huxley's Brave New World to see where we actually ended up.

It didn't work out for Littlefinger in the end.

 

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?
