“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

I definitely pictured the future by this point as more "radiant beam of light transforms objects" and less "taking my watch off for a wank because otherwise it will somehow track it as cycling"

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

Listen, I grew up in the 80s, the era of Gummi Bears, Dogtanian, Round The Twist & Willy Fogg, which is how you should know how dead serious I am when I say that imo this is unrivalled: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P75q...

Yeah, maybe I'd hyped it up too much with my love for it, but I suppose they just didn't get any of the cues because they didn't grow up with wonky cheesy live broadcasts. It is SUPER. SO pitch perfect. Maybe it'll be re-embraced as an Analogue Horror, albeit one that was hyper modern for its time.

Kids were unmoved when I showed it to them. It might be a generational thing that it only really gets under your skin if you grew up with every single visual cue it uses you telling you 'this is a real, wonky, cheesy live BBC broadcast, and everything here will be true but also safe and fine'

Experiment successful.

The cast of TV sitcom Cheers, Cliff, Coach, Carla, Sam, Diane and Norm, but they're all been quickly faceswapped with Cher's face. The title above reads 'Chers'.
