It is a work of fiction… If a solid premise means it must adhere to every real world realistic standard, you are going to find every single work of fiction lacking.

Presumably the brain network was performing more than the task of simulation. I.E performing processing tasks for the machines. More humans = more brains = more processing headroom (ha, clever) for more machines.

On windows, ctrl+shift+esc brings up the task manager and not the menu most people click the task manager in.

Shift delete bypasses the recycle bin and deletes the selected files directly.

It looks more like a bed post to be.

You should be doing that anyways

Just like, do it though… It’s not gay to pleasure yourself anally. It’s also really amazing to have a partner brave enough to do it for you. Normalize pleasure. Destigmatize exploring your body.

I had a forklift certification and got a job at an ewaste recycling facility moving pallets of equipment meant for refurbishment and resale. That job had a lot of down time so when I wasn’t moving the equipment I took up working on the computers, then the laptops, then the servers. I got so good at it that they gave me an ITAD client to handle. It was military servers that had been decommissioned. My job was to identify and sanitize/destroy any data storage before refurbishing the equipment to be resold at a profit share with the organizations I was working with.

IT is a super broad field. Many IT jobs just want you to have some certification level to get into (no degree required) or some number of years in similar work. My first “IT” adjacent position, I secured because I had a forklift license. Some IT positions want you to have bachelor’s or higher in a specific IT niche.

I like to tell some of my clients, that I’m like a general physician, I can tell you what’s wrong, fix quite a few things, prescribe fixes for the bigger issues, and refer you to specialists for things I have no business touching.

The dollar generally went further than the four years after he left office and that was his entire campaign selling point for the vast majority of Americans. “Remember when things were affordable right before the pandemic? And then Joe Biden took office and things were more expensive?”

But obviously the affordability of day to day life had very little to do with Biden’s policy and more to do with global trajectory and many of Biden’s policies did slow the approach to today’s economy. And Trump really just strapped a rocket engine to the economy in the direction of late stage capitalism once he was back in office.

Almost like he just sorta, lied to them… Like he always has…

The goal is to evenly distribute the wealth such that everyone has what they need to survive and then if you still have enough wealth left over (if the wealthy class were dismantled we would), you make sure everyone has enough to be comfortable. You take the business assets and you share ownership with the people working in those businesses. You establish democratic structures inside those businesses such that the workers choose who is in charge and what everyone is paid. Any amount of money an individual makes is supplemental to basic income that pays for your needs. Establish a wealth cap such that if your income exceeds it, the funds are distributed back down to the needs of society. Things like education and medicine could be entirely funded through excess earnings and a proper tax structure. A wealth cap means that oppressive amounts of liquid funds can’t be used to control people or lobby governments.

These are very very basic ideas. Not at all difficult to wrap your head around. And people are angry because we are constantly being told by the boots on our necks that it won’t work and that’s why we won’t even try. But in reality, the reason we won’t try is because the wealthy will lose their massive wealth. Wealth that most of them lucked into. This has nothing to do with how hard you work or how smart you are. It has everything to do with who is in control and who is not.

Might be able to sandbox those in android VMs. I can run my banking app in WSL surprisingly. It’s useless there but it does run.

PostmarketOS is an Alpine distro packaged as a mobile OS. Full phat Linux on a smart phone.

It’s not a strawman unless you can prove that there is no single person that believes chatgpt would wonder what happened to them.

Far and away, business is the primary use case for PCs, education second, art and design art likely third, and gaming (while always growing) is still niche use case for PCs worldwide.

At best, gaming has over taken media consumption as a PC task but I think that has more to do with media becoming primarily, a mobile device activity in the last decade.

Maybe. That’s certainly not my field of experience. But LLMs will never produce thought the way a human brain does. Certainly not without substantial change in how the tech functions fundamentally.

Large language models are not intelligent. They are predictive text applications with massive dictionaries of circumstantial sentence structures to choose from. Nothing more. They do not feel and do not think for themselves. The only time they do anything is when the API calls them to produce more text with an updated context string.
