“The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability,” said John D. Rockefeller, “than for any other under the sun.”
BREAKING: CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, says that in the future everyone’s intelligence will be a utility like electricity or water, and people will buy it from us on a meter.
To say Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was a phenomenal movie would be an understatement. The writers did a great balance between reformatting it to film > TV, as well as keeping its original DNA. Worth the theatre experience, go watch it — Cillian Murphy didn’t let us down
As much as I want to say photos and videos should be connected to a verifiable blockchain for authentication, it seems like a step in the direction of big brother. At this rate, however, we’ll be in the age of perpetual misinformation
@PenAbdull See, here is where I'm genuinely confused. Is growing a page with a big following, a lust for fame? What if my intention is nothing more than to earn a living and spread a positive message - via reaching 10s if not 100s of thousands of people.
While the world is fixated on binary… “I’m right, you’re wrong” and “I’m good, you’re bad” … remind yourself that two truths can exist simultaneously — it is there which a meaningful dialogue can begin
@flairairlines thank you for closing your flight at 1:54pm despite your departure time being listed at 2:10pm… no announcements, no compensation, nothing. To rub salt in the wound, the lady at the final boarding desk laughed and said “call the police, it’s your problem.”
🇪🇺 Telegram sent this message to all its users in France regarding Chat Control. People must know the names of those who try to steal their freedoms:
Today, the European Union nearly banned your right to privacy. It was set to vote on a law that would force apps to scan every private message, turning everyone’s phone into a spying tool.
France led the push for this authoritarian law. Both former and current Interior Ministers, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuñez, supported it. Last March, they declared that police should see French citizens’ private messages. The Republicans and Macron’s Renaissance group voted for it.
Such measures are supposed to “fight crime”, but their real target is regular people. It wouldn’t stop criminals — they could just use VPNs or special websites to hide. Officials’ and police messages wouldn’t be scanned either, since the law conveniently exempts them from surveillance. Only YOU — ordinary citizens — would face the danger of your private messages and photos being compromised.
Today, we defended privacy: Germany’s sudden stand saved our rights. But freedoms are still threatened. While French leaders push for total access to private messages, the basic rights of French people — and all Europeans — remain in danger.
‘Single deployment solutions’ will single handedly skyrocket the unemployment rate
And this is only the beginning
Live human customer support/receptionists are a luxury most businesses won’t be able to afford
I’ve derived plenty of real meaning from my dreams, personally.
You scientifically describing what the brain does during sleep, doesn’t prove dreams don’t bare individualistic meaning.
Hate to break your heart, but there is no real meaning to dreams.
Dreams are random neural firings. Your brain makes up a story to make sense of it - using memories, experiences, fears, concerns, etc.
Dreams have functions (memory, threat simulation, etc.) but no real meaning.
Acknowledge your created-ness. Your body works for you and you have no idea what incomprehensible complexities even happen beneath the surface. Yet it (your biology) works so hard for you. Don’t be an ingrate - a disbeliever.
@bfabkilla You have 1 whole hour to captivate your audiences attention with a pilot, and the director/writer decide… “hmm how do I make this the most absolutely boring fucking piece of television I could ever create” Cope.
