Doesnt really change the joke.

1. One of the points of the books is that the laws were inherently flawed.

2. Given that we’re talking about a Google product, you might have more success asking if they’re bound by the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition?

Don’t hate spiderman. Hate the writers roughly since 2000 that only let him have a break from misery when he’s in an alternate universe where he never became spider man.

Bing also grabs w3Schools as the top / AI result. However, the AI result also lets you swap to a Stack Overflow result.

And it has a bar across the top linking to different parts of the official website, including the landing page for the documentation.

Metro Vancouver used to be called “Greater Vancouver Area” as well.

What changed is that the mayors stood up to an idiotic public-private partnership a far right premier was trying to force through. So he replaced the greater vancouver mayoral board with a board appointed directly by the premier, which promptly green-lit the project.

And because CTV/Global/Nat.Post/Sun are all extremely pro-corporate media, they followed along in supporting the change.

Now, not two decades later the RAV line is a mess. The line is over capacity, stations are too small and cant be expanded without changing the entire line. Meanwhile the union made and publically owned Skytrain system is going on 40 years old and is working fine.

It has happened before. They just swept it under the rug and blamed the client.

A user was setting up a new laptop and synced an empty folder with google drive, intending to download accounts data to their machine. It bugged and treated the empty folder as the master and began erasing the drive contents.

After two weeks of pestering google, they relented and pulled from their backups they swore they didn’t have and didn’t exist.

Or when Google had competition so they didn’t do the crap they do now.

So, technically, the issue might be that one of the doors wasnt properly installed?

Yes, its a very loose definition of “door”.

Pictures, or lack thereof. In 2022, we were shown daily with the horrors perpetuated by the Russians. I suppose the corporate media were happy to do it because it was Russia doing it, and that means easy arms sales and no (sane) protests.

Now though, because of Israel’s genocide in Palestine, there isnt the bombardment of pictures and videos from Ukraine. It draws parallels to what Israel is doing in Gaza, and Netanyahu/Likud’s military is a multi-billion dollar “venture” by the US arms industry. One where Israel gets billions from the US gov and spends it on buying US weapons and ammo.

Edit: to be clear, showing the same videos now draws “unwelcome” comparisons to what Netanyahu and Likud are doing in Palestine. They don’t want a return to the anti-war movement that came out of media from.the Vietnam war.

I know its not chatgpt4, I never said it was?

That paragraph is on its own because it is a different topic. In this case I was using my own experience experimenting with chatgpt4 as to why I won’t be using it any time soon.

Starcraft 2, at this point, is 2 years Older than Starcraft 1 was when it was released.

The example shown is setting a timer, then copilot suggests timeright value.

Contextually, it is bad autocomplete.

In practice, chatgpt4 is incapable of producing code to my coding standards. Edit: to clarify, its incapable of doing that in a timely enough manner that it saves me any time.

Hell, starcraft created the concept of a professional gamer being a thing. To say that RTS games dont have popular appeal is just outright wrong.

3D isnt a bad thing though, C&C Generals did it fantastically.

Given that the Hindu population of India is actively trying to assassinate peaceful Sikh leaders worldwide and oppress the Sikh people, you should care.

Clippy was occasionally useful as it could offer shortcuts you didn’t necessarily know about.

This is just bad autocomplete

Its only an issue if companies / people have been greedily and immorally doing fractional reserve lending /borrowing.

Interest rates are not high.

They are still edit slightly below average compared to what they were pre 2008.

Sure, pre “trickle down” Canada crown corporations: Passenger Trains, now private(Via Rail) Oil: Imperial Oil, now Enbridge(and its insane russian doll network of shell companies) and Petro-Canada ISPs: BCTel+AlbertaTel: Telus, Ontario and Quebec: Bell Even just that subset would drastically change Canada for the absolute better.
