Not me but my friend technically made the world’s biggest chicken nugget. Turns out getting Guinness to certify it is kind of a pain though so it’s not on the books

I think most people underestimate how big of a deal it’s going to be when this tech is pervasive in things like search engines or digital assistants. There are many times when I can’t figure out the right combination of words to put into a search engine to find the results. ChatGPT is already my go to when I want to figure out a movie or song from some random combination of foggy memories. Imagine after 10 more years of cpu/gpu innovations, and chat applications that have actually been designed for information retrieval, how much that is going to transform how we interact with data and information.

Full disclosure, I didn’t watch the video. I just can’t imagine that that headline isn’t going to look silly in 30 years.

In 30 years, we’re going to look back at this headline like we look back at articles about the internet or smart phones being fads.

Great we can 3D print it when sea levels rise and it disappears! (I didn’t read the article…)

There are going to be as many opinions on this as there are women who like having sex with men. Some women like dominant men, some like submissive men, some like doms on even days and subs on odd days. Some only like doms on a full moon. Im using silly examples, but the point is human sexuality can’t come anywhere close to fitting into binaries like this. Individuals have their preferences, and no two individuals’ preferences are going to be the same.

Before I read the article, I thought northern hemisphere people were starting to weigh less and southern hemisphere people were starting to weigh more…

I don’t think they’re arguing that the ads are part of the free speech, I think they’re arguing the ads are a revenue source that allows them to fund free speech. Blocking ads in this case is more akin to sitting down at the newsstand for two hours while you read the paper, then putting the paper back without having paid for anything. Yes online advertising has become a massive breach of privacy, but they have no obligation to give away their product for free, and looking at ads is how you pay for it.

Free speech ≠ free beer.

Farmers originally used to seal their barns with a combination of linseed oil (red-ish) and iron oxide (rust, red). Then when paint came around, apparently red paint was the cheapest. https://www.bobvila.com/articles/solved-why-are-barns-painted-red/
