Almost everything tech bros say is to boost short term share prices. Any resemblance to the truth is coincidental.

Now we just need to use the user information to check their net worth, and if it’s above a certain amount it needs to hover a quest marker above that person. I’m curious to see how long before privacy laws get stronger.

Because people get suspicious when somebody is taking pictures of every stranger they come across, but people looking at passersby while wearing glasses is normal.

Even worse, it’s completely real. It was the common situation for me before corona. Also driving an entire day for a 1 hour meeting.

That kind of stuff always reminds me of an episode from a show about rich people. They showed a rich mother organizing a birthday party for her toddler that was ridiculously fancy and having a complete meltdown because some napkins were another shade of pink. That’s the worst that life has ever given her, a different shade of napkins.

Another company I had contact with did a few layoffs. Afterwards the recruitment department had a lot more issues finding people. Experienced people would ask a premium because of that company’s reputation in the industry and the experienced people would usually stay a short time and leave. The other option was hiring fresh graduates and put effort in training them.

As long as it looks good on paper, somebody in higher management is getting a bonus for this.

“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” –James D. Nicoll

It’s pretty common that angry revolutionaries are used by another rich bastard to get into power by usurping the movement. The classic “meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

How bad of a manager can you be to not understand this?

It’s a factory owned by Musk, so power tripping, being abusive and borderline illegal behavior is baked into the business model, probably including a furious Musk visiting from time to time to shout at management he wants results by tomorrow and does not want to hear any excuses. And that’s how shit flows downstream and pressure is put onto the line workers, and the good managers shut up and find another employer to work for.

Yeah, the first app for AR should be one that identifies people that are in the list of business persons or celebrities and show their net worth over their head like it’s a reward for a game. Then watch as bespectacled grimy folks start following the rich bastards around and AR is outlawed.

AR replaces all screens, buttons and interfaces with holograms. This can be a hologram with the shiny lines you see in many sci-fi, replacing laptop screens, fiddly little interfaces for gadgets, … These things would also be great for designing stuff, teaching using proper models instead of pictures in a book.

Or it can be indistinguishable from real-life, such as having an empty paper book and have the AR glasses overlaying an e-book, such that it reads, looks, feels and smells like a classic tome. Weather predictions look like a note stuck to your door.

Then you have entertainment. That goes from table top games look like they are on the table, to running around outside casting fireballs and chain lighting.

Or it can be an ad riddled nightmare where everything you look at and your reaction is recorded and shared by corporations.

We need a scapegoat in place when the AI bubble pops, the guy is applying for the job and is a perfect fit.

fatal error: Too many errors emitted, stopping now

Although they are bad long term. Any platform reaching critical mass is invaded by the corporations, fanatics and propaganda campaigns.

Hundred years. Big difference with the 100.000 years of the current waste.

Yeah, the code can work flawlessly in test, but after a few months of production there are a lot more records or files and the code starts to have issues.

They probably tested in ideal circumstances and their stuff breaks down when even coming close to an edge case.

It’s right next to or in a high intensity lithium fire, not just a normal little flame. That should alter the equation somewhat.

Mostly, yes. Use breeder reactors to turn long term radioactive waste to sort term radioactive waste, store for short time and done. The downside: it’s more expensive to move and process the stuff so nobody wants to do that.
