At the meeting:

"The AI could just crawl documents etc?"

"Don't be silly.. most people's documents are cloud based now.. and not necessarily with us"

"We could scan the text while they Edge?"

"I've told you about saying that that way.."

"Ok. we could scan the text while they use Edge to browse?"

"Use Edge? What planet are you on. Even I use Firefox. Simple truth is we have no visibility of what used spend 90% of their time doing "

"..."

"..."

"You know.. we could just take a screenshot at regular intervals?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"You know that's such a ridiculously shit idea it might just work.."

who just wiggle their mouse every so often to keep the monitor on or whatever people do to pretend to be busy

Just use powershell to make a down cursor keypress every few minutes and put the screen on a long work-related webpage article like a normal programmer under surveillance...

Soon on Amazon..

Do anyone else wonder why Kim was open to being embarrassed this way? Hardly helps his fiction of North Korea being amazing.

This is the correct answer.

I don't think what they said is actually a problem, it's just a back-justification for the original trope. Daisy chaining them and strictly sticking to only the few appliances that would fit in one extension strip is fine. But that's complicated to explain, it's better to just tell people not to do it rather than expect them to understand what's going on

A couple things that can happen...

• plugging in too many appliances over several daisy chained power strips trips the circuit breaker because too much current is being drawn
• if the country you live in has lax electrical safety standards then, yes, perhaps you can overload the daisy chain without tripping the main circuit which would lead to overheating

Two friends of mine met getting in opposite sides of the same taxi during the chaos of the 2005 London tube bombings. They decided to share the ride and it was love at first site. Got married etc.

Don't know anyone else where it happened like in a movie like that.

Closest is one other friend, having just met and spoken to a girl for about twenty minutes, was just astonished at her take on life and general outlook and said (only half joking) to her "are you my wife?". He later told friends "I just met my wife". It was kinda funny because she was a very intelligent and sorted go getter and he was a bit of a bum. But he sorted himself out over the next 3 years and they did in fact end up getting married. Sorry I guess that is kinda like a movie lol..

This is just the early versions we'll look back on and laugh at even when the successful versions have taken over EVERYTHING.

so VR equipment is getting lightweight and powerful enough for high realism. AI is just about generating compelling reality on the fly. Augmented realty is just about working smoothly thanks to modern hardware.

Now give everything another 10 years development.

We'll be tapping up compelling 3d 'personal shoppers' and 'personal customer service agents' that feel more like butlers and servants because they ARE. And they'll be 100% generated and pretty easy to talk to, especially compared to waiting on the phone or trying to type chat.

Perhaps Zucks metaverse dream will be located in there somewhere. What if in that time we nail 3d video chat - perhaps a dose of AI and VR 'learning you' so it gives you realistic micro gestures without having to scan your face aggressively.

I can see it all becoming a lot more believable. And chatting to company AI services like you would a person becoming the norm.

And someone will be like "ha, remember the 'metaverse' back in 2023/4?" and someone else will point out all the technology they're using right then and there is owned by meta. In fact I bet there'll be a TIL post about it in 2035...

Almost any "pop" news / science / gossip / chat / lifestyle article site with ad and pop-up blockers off. Just. Jesus Christ. What the fuck. The fact that some people browse the internet like this... AND the fact some people actually made it in the first place..

I wouldn't mind it being legal but oh my god I can't stand the smell of weed

IF they had pulled it off well we wouldn't all be here making fun of it. It would have been cool Well... by cool I mean let's say for argumnets sake they absolutely nailed the virtual hangout, so you got something that felt holographic it was so real. It would be cool to hang out with your friends that way (if being together wasn't an option) and it would be more bearable than zoom for a work meeting. At least it might have made non-verbal cues flow better and making virtual converstaion less of a ballache. If it had been flawless then it might have galvinised the movement to make working remotely the new default

Unforunately they didn't pull it off. But it was worth trying is all i'm saying..

There's always been frauds and dipshits. I had a front row seat to the dot com boom and bust and it was not dissimilar to the bollocks going on now. Except the richest people made OS/hardware (Gates, Allen, Dell) or were traditional investors (Buffet)..

Better check the TOS doesn't include acceptance of various concentrations of piss..

Dogmatic adherence to mealtimes is racist

for god's sake..

I guess that's the one clear advantage Ukraine has. Russia's expatriated intelligentsia and educated liberals ain't coming back..

Instead of Chat how about 'Utterance' or just 'Speech'?

Also the other characters response shouldn't be a different object should it but a different type? Perhaps you should have CharacterSpeech and NPCSpeech inheriting from Speech? And Dialog holds a collection of these?

Another failure of anyone with any kind of responsibility to have a spine

I take it you're not planning on becoming a domiciliary nurse?
