how are they in control? market demand is an outside force

Everyone will die so you can stop hoping. Also ew.

This is such a random acquisition. It’s like IMDB buying some film aficionado’s tumblr profile.

It’s like, there if you want it, but you totally don’t have to download. No pressure at all!

Maybe that’s why all their stories suck, completely unfounded in reality

The sky is huge. In theory you should be able to avoid most crashes just by separation rules which can be automated. I didn’t make this up, it’s literally a thing that exists called Big Sky Theory.

This would almost certainly rule out Linux as an option. What Linux vendor feels comfortable committing to something, anything, for 15 years?

When you never leave the shithole town you grew up in, you think the whole world is evil.

So this is the singularity that halts all AI progress.

It’s easier to use a pseudonym on Lemmy.
