Sony is really desperate for more revenue. To the point they are refusing to sell their products unless they can harvest your data to sell. It’s rather sad. I wonder if they’ll have enough money for the R&D and production for the PS6 or PS5Pro.
It’s also baffling why Sony doesn’t expand PSN to other countries if they are hindered from selling products due to that.
You can only abuse them in certain ways. Like mental anguish and risk of being torn apart by monsters. But if you use transfiguration on them temporarily, that’s a no no.
No. Clearly it will be solved by men doubting women’s problems. Men are so fragile.
ITT: men who refuse to believe women. Like every time.
Imagine a prosecution or law enforcement bureau that has trained an AI from scratch on specific stimuli to enhance and clarify grainy images. Even if they all were totally on the up-and-up (they aren’t, ACAB), training a generative AI or similar on pictures of guns, drugs, masks, etc for years will lead to internal bias. And since AI makers pretend you can’t decipher the logic (I’ve literally seen compositional/generative AI that shows its work), they’ll never realize what it’s actually doing.
So then you get innocent CCTV footage this AI “clarifies” and pattern-matches every dark blurb into a gun. Black iPhone? Maybe a pistol. Black umbrella folded up at a weird angle? Clearly a rifle. And so on. I’m sure everyone else can think of far more frightening ideas like auto-completing a face based on previously searched ones or just plain-old institutional racism bias.
most people are, and have always been awful, bloodthirsty ghoulish pieces of shit
Most people are empathetic and decent. This sounds like apologia or projection. Evil people think everyone else is just as evil and that’s how they rationalize it.
If TVs would have it that would be nice. I use a PC attached to my TV and don’t have the option.
Oh I will.

Make sure you keep your money in bitcoin so when it crashes we can all laugh at you. Again.
Print and written media existed for literally thousands of years
Uh, no? If by media you mean anything that could remotely considered for the masses then absolutely not. The printing press was so revolutionary because it allowed making multiple copies of written documents without doing them each manually. Reading and writing was so expensive and rare a hobby because the written word was expensive; why would you need to read more than the basic signs if chalk boards were your limit of writing?
“News” before then was word of mouth. Town criers and the like.
As someone else said: it doesn’t replace streaming even a little. Pirating is replacing buying music directly. Streaming facilitates finding new music and trying it out. Being able to listen to anything at any time. You simply can’t do that with downloads; no one can download everything. Piracy in this case really just works for people still listening to their highschool favs and not people looking for new stuff all the time.
