You can sell consoles with advertisement and marketing. The product is a secondary concern.

And with AI + bunch of privately owned mass media, you can saturate the brains of the next generation of gamers with endless targeted ads.

Fully expect Discord to begin vomiting ad spam into random chat streams like Reddit channels are getting bombarded with Crypto Casino promotions.

What does someone in Maine get out of this?

Well, if you’re a fascist…

Get armed. Rice and beans, and generally about 2 weeks of food and water.

Maine lugging around a record number of “Fell For It Again” awards with that POS senator.

But better still is anyone who believed the “You need 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate” line we’ve been swallowing since Clinton.

Can a slide rule?

When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal

I’m not holding my breath.

We’ve been hearing about an AI crash practically since the hype train started.

Flagship smartphone chipmaker Qualcomm is warning that companies will build fewer phones, period — and that remaining phones will be more expensive. CEO Cristiano Amon says a big dip in its smartphone business will be “100 percent” because of the memory shortage. Here are some choice quotes from Amon on the company’s February 4th earnings call:

“Unfortunately, I think that the whole sector is impacted by memory.”
“Industry-wide memory shortage and price increases are likely to define the overall scale of the handset industry through the fiscal year.”
“OEMs are very likely to prioritize premium and high-tier, how they have done in the past.”
“We just wish there was more memory.”
CFO Akash Palkhiwala also said: “We’ve seen several OEMs, especially in China, take actions to reduce their handset build plans and channel inventory.”

How much more might you pay? Hard to say, but IDC points out that memory represents 15–20 percent of the materials cost of a midrange phone, and about 10–15 percent of a high-end flagship phone.

MAGA voters are not as numerous as anyone thinks they are.

The way liberals phrase it, MAGA is everyone who doesn’t vote straight ticket Dem after every election

I’m sure a few of them hate watched it.

Although, a big part of Talarico’s appeal is his method of seizing on conservative tulpas and twisting them to progressive ends.

If Talarico has a shot at the general, it’s going to be thanks to some number of MAGA voters buying into left populism. A bunch of the interview is just Talarico sayings he’s Christian and asking WWJD about education, health care, and immigration.

It’s the “Oops, Everything Is Facebook Now” Act. Squeezing out competition through threats of litigation.

I mean, he was double-dealing for the O&G industry right alongside Cheney. He was just the face of the operation while Cheney did all the backroom dealing.

But the idea that the Bush Family wasn’t flagrantly profiteering? Give me a fucking break. Family members and friends got lucrative jobs in senior administrative positions. Lobbyists got promoted to executive board rooms. Portfolios rapidly outpaced the market growth rates.

Just ask how Michael Brown, a guy in the boutique thoroughbred horse business, ended up heading FEMA, ffs. Why do you think The Ashcroft Group landed Oracle and AT&T as clients?

10 Years After SCOTUS Gutted Voting Rights Act, Alabama Turnout Gap Is Worse

Apart from 2018, the white-Black turnout gap increased each year from 2012 through 2022. During last year’s election, the white-Black gap was 9 points — triple the size of the gap only a decade ago. Put differently, some 90,000 more Black voters would have participated in Alabama last year if Black turnout had reached parity with white turnout. The white-nonwhite turnout gap remained at 13 percentage points, the same as in 2020 — translating to roughly 150,000 ballots uncast by people of color.

I don’t believe you. Begin firing on my signal.

Hindenburg was a hiccup in history relative to the fallout from an AI bust.

We’re solving the Reddit bot problem the same way we solved the Twitter bot problem.

Is there any aspect of the police state that libs won’t support?

They seem pretty reticent about pursuing white collar crimes, particularly when they intersect with sex trafficking of under-aged girls.
