AI ≠ internet connection.

Google also monitors your searches, it’s to be expected that an AI lab will know all your prompts, they aren’t providing a paid service for free out the good of their heart. lol.

What hellish world we live in to have the sky polluted by manmade light

This is always such a nonsense question-answer thing, asking a person who already succeeded what they would do if they were young.

Even worse when they ask themselves.

… yeah I doubt that nowadays honestly

yikes
in the way Elon Musk rivals government power, with his ownership and absolute power over a social media platform, satellite internet much more, sure.

But it doesn’t really rival government power, given that the government would most likely crush anything that truly tries to compete.

(and if you don’t have the power to compete, do you truly rival it?)

Re:Never Argue with Your Boss (2009) on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @07:02AM (#48919008)
1. Not a great job if you truly cant argue with your boss.

2. the concept of arguing with your boss and humiliating them publicly is not the same, the word argue in the title is misused for the story the author tells

> nternet is beautiful because it's ok to be weird - this is often the opposite on twitter, fb, reddit and many discords where if you have a different opinion you get mobbed by angry comments making one feel worse about their own weirdness

which is ‘funny’ because by offline standards the average redditor will probably be seen as weird

Lol.

The old system recognized that you need an alive world to exploit, financially and through debt. The new system is hoping to rule through raw power because it’s being ran by shortsighted idiots who do not recognize they are standing on the shoulders of more tactical rulers.

Neither of them noble.
