People will rip off the headsets if the ads are too intrusive and annoying. Which is why they’ll either be dead subtle, or they’ll offer you paid ways to avoid them.

I don’t think there’ll be mass adoption of this either way, mainly because it’s an expensive gadget coming at a time when folks on median incomes are feeling the pinch.

It’s incredible. I went to a consultation forum regarding intruding 20mph speed limits and all these conspiracy nuts just came out of the crowd like some zombie apocalypse.

It’s conspiracies all the way down.

Not just mosquitos and not just in the long term either; with the colder weather not being as harsh a lot of other critters are either making a comeback, hanging around for longer or not dying out in the colder temperatures - think Blandford flies, horseflies, tick bites...

Project Orbis is about approval (and it seems like a good idea). It isn’t about supply or cost.

Close to home think Gibraltar and Northern Ireland. Further afield - I work with people who regularly travel for tasks that require an on-site presence and who have long term health conditions.

Probably more common than you think.

It’s sad but just leave it be. What’s lost is lost and cannot be easily replaced or replicated. In another millennium or two there’ll be something else there and those of us around today won’t really have any control over that.

The pure ChatGPT output would probably be garbage. The dataset will be full of all manner of sources (together with their inherent biases) together with spin, untruths and outright parody and it’s not apparent that there is any kind of curation or quality assurance on the dataset (please correct me if I’m wrong).

I don’t think it’s a good tool for extracting factual information from. It does seem to be good at synthesising prose and helping with writing ideas.

I am quite interested in things like this where the output from a “knowledge engine” is paired with something like ChatGPT - but it would be for eg writing a science paper rather than news.

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EUROPA.

ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.

USE THEM TOGETHER.

USE THEM IN PEACE.

Exactly. The data harvest has had years in the making.

Yes; my advice was going to be to get hold of one decent cooking pot and one decent chef’s knife and learn to cook.

Prepping my own food and being able to bulk cook meals for a few days to a few weeks ahead was a big advantage. Also helped me to get to know people and make friends.

You need a decent pot. And a knife you can maintain and sharpen. And to learn to cook.

“And he brought me into a vast farmland of our own Midwest And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil One thousand, nay, a million voices full of fear And terror possessed me then And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard Tomorrow is harvest day and to them, it is the Holocaust" And I sprang from my slumber, drenched in sweat Like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!"”

I thought Domino as depicted in Deadpool 2 was pretty cool. Just lucky enough.

Will you be able to get a seat at Dorsia’s?

I mean that sounds like a curse. Endless screaming. Where others may see a cute bunny munching on some grass, or a bee buzzing around a flower, all you will hear are shrieks of pain and abject terror.

Agree. Too incompetent, and maybe too lazy to improve.

It’s got that onomatopoeic quality; I think “yeet” stays.

Yup. One of the teachers (Director Clavel) masquerades as a pupil and asks your character for help understanding what the word means.

I didn’t know.

I had to look it up.

Remember hearing it the first time. There’s a recording here.
