#AI investment by companies is currently projected by Gartner to top $1.5 TRILLION this year, 2 next. Where is that sort of revenue going to come from to pay it off?
Microsoft only pulls in $45 *billion* on office software, and they're the biggest player in the game. The math doesn't add up for this to be a tool for consumers.
Someone on LinkedIn pointed out that selling that data for surveillance is the MOST likely way that the bills get paid.
Keep this in mind before you use these tools.

I guess they put "AI" in Google Sheets now. It keeps suggesting that I sort and filter the sheet that I'm working on in different ways.
Motherfucker, I think I know what I want to do with the data I'm looking at. I don't need you to suggest random shit.
Clippy-tier piece of shit.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post, likely Twitter, with a dark blue background. At the top left is a circular profile picture of a person with dark hair, wearing a dark jacket. Below that is text arranged in three separate sections, each attributed to a different entity.
The first section, attributed to "Them", reads: "People are so lazy, there's jobs available everywhere." The second section, attributed to "Advertisement", reads: "How would you like to work for us? The job is six days a week and you'll still be poor." The final section, attributed to "The working class", simply states: "No". The post is attributed to a user named "Comrade Hammer" with the handle "[@]JoshWiniecke".

Costco quietly made a major benefit change - TheStreet
I think the most interesting thing in the article is the cash back offer on fuel, considering that EV charging is in there, something I haven't seen before, and I wonder if'n that means anything like Costco adding charging to its warehouses.

A screenshot of a social media post is presented. The post features a circular profile picture of a person with dark hair and a red background. Below the profile picture, the username "[@]IsicaLynn" is displayed, accompanied by a red checkmark icon. The post consists of two paragraphs of text.
The first paragraph reads: "I find that a lot of anti-socialist sentiment boils down to a basic belief that people are lazy and wonβt do good in the world or work hard unless they are suffering." The second paragraph reads: βI believe the opposite. I think most people would do amazing things if they werenβt in dire straits constantly.β

If a device is recording you and everyone around you,
And is sharing all this data with a corporation outside of your control,
It is not a "smart" device,
It is a spying device.
At the very least, you are ethically required to not inflict this surveillance upon others without prior explicit consent.

Smartphone is a computer that can phone, smart TV is a computer on which you can watch TV, smart car is a computer on which one's built a car, and so on.
@hardtech
You've miss the point. Thing is, you're both right but your post is dismissive, as if your truth negates the other. "Smart" devices that pull personal data, often without our knowledge, are unethical & we're all being opted in.

A group of people are standing on a grassy lawn, holding signs in a protest setting. Three people in the foreground are dressed as characters from βThe Wizard of Ozβ: one is wearing a plaid shirt and a straw hat, one is fully covered in a brown bear costume, and one is wearing a silver metallic costume representing the Tin Man. Behind them, other people can be seen holding additional signs. The signs in the foreground read: βTRUMP Has No Brainβ, βGOICE Has No Courageβ, and a red heart-shaped sign. The scene appears to be outdoors on a sunny day, with foliage visible in the background.

The image depicts text on a dark background. The text is presented as dialogue, seemingly between two people.
The first line of dialogue reads: βWhere did you find the whipped cream?β
The second line of dialogue is attributed to a person named Jack and reads: βYou had milk, I had science.β
Following this, a longer sentence is presented: βItβs amazing how much culinary achievement can be summarized by that sentence.β
The final sentence reads: βCheese making, for example. The perfect intersection of milk, science, and foolish disregard for the laws of nature.β The text is written in a simple, sans-serif font and is the primary focus of the image.

Here's an alt-text description of the image:
This is a political cartoon divided into two sections labeled "Peaceful Protesters" on the left and "Violent Insurrectionists" on the right, with a banner at the top reading "A Field to Civil Unrest" and a smaller label stating "2nd Edition." The left section depicts four individuals. The first is wearing a camouflage hat and holding a sign reading "HANG PENCE," while the second is wearing a horned fur hat and carrying a spear. The third is wearing a red bandanna and carrying a rifle and the fourth is wearing a camouflage jacket. The right section depicts three individuals. The first is wearing a suit and holding a sign reading "IMMIGRANTS are HUMANS," the second is wearing a pink shirt and holding a sign reading "END ICE" and the third is a young person wearing a red shirt. There is a dome-shaped building, resembling the US Capitol, in the background behind the "Peaceful Protesters" section, with smoke visible.

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into Fscist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

"The No Kings demonstrations ran the gamut from hundreds of thousands of protesters in large, blue cities, to smaller crowds in small towns in Republican-dominated states. Together, they demonstrate that the administrationβs claims to popularity are a lie."

in reply to π΄ Seph π πΎ • • •The image is a split screen comparison of two portraits, one on the left and one on the right. The portrait on the left shows a middle-aged person with short dark hair, wearing a dark red collared shirt and a yellow tie. The person is looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. The portrait on the right features a middle-aged person with blonde hair and a dark suit and blue tie. This person is also looking directly at the camera with their fingers crossed. Above the portraits is text that reads: "Seems fair that if ex Philippine President Duterte can be arrested & held in The Hague for murdering suspected drug dealers - Trump can be arrested & held in The Hague for murdering suspected drug dealers".

in reply to π΄ Seph π πΎ • • •Only problem with that is that The Philipines WERE a signatory to the ICC treaty/ charter granting the ICC jurisdiction over crimes committed there.
The Philipines withdrew their signatory status in 2019.
Dutarte is being held in The Hague for crimes committed from when he took office (2016) and when the Philipine's rescinded its membership in the ICC (2019).
The United States has never been a signatory/ member of the ICC therefore Trump will not be spending one night jail over there.
