The only issue with doing that is selling it to a nefarious party hurts the users and not really AMD. Or at least it isn’t hurting AMD anywhere near as much as it might hurt an innocent party.

This is what AI companies are of course pushing for. They want all the profits but none of the responsibility.

I’d say that’s true. It’s easier to get strength back than it was to get it in the first place. Anecdotally I went to the gym regularly for a long time. It took weeks to add weight increases. I quit because covid, work, etc. Started going again years later and it was far more rapid weight advancement, however it was harder to hit the higher weights I’d done previously. Just getting older, I guess.

Good. Those clowns will trash the index funds that so many depend on for retirement funding if they tank. And AI certainly will, and SpaceX is dependent on the whims of a drug addicted wingnut.

That’s incredible. I hope it happens in my lifetime.

Mad Max? More like the opening scenes to Bladerunner 2049.

They are, in every area except infrastructure, range, and (in the US) affordable variety.

We now have 2 cars that use electricity to a varying degree (hybrid/phev) and it’s awesome. The fuel savings is immediate and obvious.

I travel for work overseas a lot.

The ridiculous number of EV available to the consumer outside of the US is crazy. EBRO, BYD, JAECOO, CYE, XPENG, among others as well as homegrown startups receiving government incentives to produce everything from cars to e-motorbikes and scooters.

The US is so far behind it’s laughable, the regressive cave men we have for politicians along with protectionist greed of the auto manufacturer and petroleum lobbies are wildly damaging.

By taking away any other options?

Be like google, make search so shitty and monetized the only thing left is AI results.

Why don’t these clowns go after the conservatives like Homan or Bovino?

Enormous choice? Lol, sure. Think of all the individual studios 20 years ago making games. You could buy them at multiple stores, on CD or DVD, maybe even download a patch or two from the developer online.

Today most of those individual studios have disappeared, many bought up and dismantled by the industry, and every single one of those industry titans is trying to corral you into their system via downloader or subscription, and the majority make sure you don’t actually own the game you bought. Steam is just the least evil among them, and there’s plenty of apologists that say Steam makes it possible for indy developers to get exposure. But at what price?

Ah, enshittification, my old friend. Here we go again.

It’d be great if DDG’s search was actually better rather than just an alternative. I’ve been using DDG for years and I’m still having to use other search engines because DDG’s results aren’t good or it pulls a google and gives you the same results no matter how many different ways you query.

Told to them by AI.

Maybe AI will finally negatively impact some CEO jobs.

Did it sell out to actual individuals or did scalpers buy up a bunch?

Disgusting? Lol. You completely disregarded the fact that these were knowing and willing tax dodgers deliberately and fraudulently attending schools they were not allowed to. They‘re not poor, they can afford to maintain separate residences in two states. Get your reading comprehension in gear.

Completely missed the point to white knight some unneeded righteousness. I have Zero problem with people unable to pay for education getting an education, but that‘s not what’s happening here, and I‘m well aware of how school funding works.

You’re partly right. Did you read the article? One of the chief complaints is that in fact the devices aren’t locked down and kids are using them for things like games and youtube.

You’re in a Lemmy echo-chamber for the rest of it. The average user isn’t us.

As for the rest, schools teach to the lowest common denominator. The article itself plainly shows that the people “in charge” haven’t a clue how to effectively monitor, limit, and control usage of these basic devices. So throwing more at them isn’t the solution when they can’t even manage what they’ve got.

Reading the article it isn’t a problem with tech.

Yet again it’s adult’s inability, ignorance, or unwillingness to limit access to sites and place time limits on devices. Parents don’t parent, parents don’t want to deal with taking devices away, people can’t seem to manage parental controls or learn how they work on the device or the home LAN.

It’s not the tech’s fault. It’s the adult’s fault for not adulting.

(As a side note, people on lemmy need to remember that this is the “average” user, so when you suggest some stance on tech, this is the world outside of the fediverse where people can barely manage an iphone)

Even in states where schools are funded from education slush funds which are supposed to distribute funding equally it doesn’t work well. Well-off areas get better funding, poor areas get less. Some states even do it by county, so if people live in a rural county with no industry or population to tax the schools get very little money.

Yeah, making it so things are more equitably distributed would be great, including higher teacher pay, lower administrative costs (like each district having its own admin and pay structure is ridiculous), etc.
