  What’s interesting, to me, is that’s exactly how people hedge in the fringe UFO community too. The difference is this AI prediction has real data woven into it. And the UFO people have “stories” and right wing grifters in our current administration pushing the idea.

  I’m not trying to be dismissive, I just noticed that the year 2027 is popular for predictions, and has been for 4-5 years.

  Oh, and I forgot to list fusion power being cracked. There are a bunch of startups right now. Sam Altman just stepped down from the board of one of them to address conflict of interest issues. Allegedly.

  People online are predicting everything will happen in 2027.

  • Aliens are revealed
  • China invades Taiwan
  • The singularity happens
  • The Antichrist appears and or Jesus returns.
  • Trump does and JD Vance takes over

  A conspiracy minded person could tie all of these together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Company Is Secretly Turning Your Zoom Meetings into AI Podcasts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why that site was banned from Wikipedia, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone Cheering The Social Media Addiction Verdicts Against Meta Should Understand What They’re Actually Cheering For⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kids should be banned from the platforms.

  But that requires the tools to do so. And then we are back at checking on ages and identities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people call Michael's house from GTA 5 a mansion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. This is either a bot farming account history, or someone reposting for internet attention/points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel and LG Display may have beaten Apple and Qualcomm with the best laptop battery life ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People don’t understand that Apple just never chose to compete in the $500 laptop range, until, well, this year…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub hits CTRL-Z, decides it will train its AI with user data after all⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The cookie jar is too tempting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's nothing stopping an 8 year old child from just taking their parent's ID to do Age Verification...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  None of the additional measures to verify age remove the need for “parents to parent.” This isn’t an either or situation. It’s an all of the above situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linkwarden v2.14 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) 🚀⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They learned all of this from us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waymo relies on firefighters and police to bail out stuck robotaxis | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They see themselves as infrastructure, so this makes sense. They want to install themselves into our life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does YouTube’s Algorithm Reward Risky Prank Content?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think platform holders have a responsibility here to intentionally augment the algorithm.

  YouTube already does it with other content. Look into what they did years ago about videos that children upload of themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta found liable in child exploitation case⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The victims of child exploitation? Or the lawyers representing them? Or…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What service should handle it instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta found liable in child exploitation case⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you think they are conspiracies to spy on you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jury finds Meta liable in case over child sexual exploitation on its platforms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Were they part of the case? Did this trial start before that even happened?

  Your sentiment makes sense. But what you wrote is illogical when you consider the timelines.

  AFAIK, lawsuits about grok were just filed in the past few weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you can only watch so many nonsense videos. I assume I’m sadly wrong though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games just laid off over 1,000 people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, no, fewer people are having sex these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Router Models Made Outside US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Brendan Carr is such a dummy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft blocks registry trick that unlocked performance-boosting native NVMe driver on Windows 11 — workarounds still exist to enable support, however⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Such a long history of driver BS on windows. Going all the way back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia CEO Says He Gets Where The DLSS 5 Outrage Is Coming From: ‘I Don’t Love AI Slop Myself’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone should be saying even more provocative and violent things. More often in more places. It gets upvotes and views and increases time on the platform.

  Let it rip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP realizes that mandatory 15-minute support call wait times isn’t good support⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds very humane and reasonable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA confirms DLSS 5 uses a 2D frame plus motion vectors as input⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was intuitive and obvious to anyone paying attention to AI and who knows video game engines.

  Calculating each mesh or surface in the scene instead of one big collective pass would be even more demanding. And will likely beyond their capabilities for a very long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WorldCoin's newest pitch: Scan your eyeballs to prove AI agents really represent you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So the bullshit can then be blamed on the user? I doubt it. They will still blame the AI when mistakes are made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many Welps left side

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Pokémon Go’ players have been unknowingly training delivery robots⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Google voice only makes sense as a data play too, for voicemail data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how much of this comes from dieting nonsense on Reddit and blogs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They likely want to start collecting data. So the need to get something rushed out so that they can build up the pile of data they will need to build out and refine this feature in time for the launch of their next console.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Phone is an Entire Computer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Phones are computers. Phones are the most popular personal computers in the world. Many people only have a phone and no other computers.
