Cold-war era joke, pre-suppose all us media is ‘State’ media

The term is generic, good and bad. I’m my work a consultant is someone with years of experience in a very specific field.

Two things IMO

1. Your data, more of it.

2. Using power, mostly to justify the existence of their giant machinery, the Cloud. These machines are used because they HAVE to be used. Bitcoin, nft, now ai everything.

It just means automated search, like a search engine does constantly to stay relevant. Yes ai’s do it, but also tons of websites and businesses.

I would probably do the same thing, wake up and everyone around me is freaking out, trying to kill me, also I’m a newborn, also I have a nuclear button.

Isaac Asimov’s I Robot does a fantastic job of showing how simple logical rules might not be ready for the complexities of everyday life

It’s a synthesizer! I only found out last week when my bass playing coworker corrected me.

Do you think its worth dying by nuclear annihilation because…Russia invaded Ukraine?
