Maybe during electronic countermeasures? Only way to transmit information is through sound when the EM bandwidth is being disrupted.

Is this a bit? Are you channeling your inner Jeff Albertson? I don’t feel like this is even real. Almost like a response from Gemini itself to give a parody anecdote about itself.

I had a similar experience trying out Gemini early this year where it would always say it couldn't do the thing I asked but could provide resources and/or walk me through doing the thing myself.

I sort of get it I guess.

Struggle builds character or whatever.

The things I enjoy aren’t because I’m the best at them. I don’t care that software could crush me at reading or playing games. Or a robot can lift more weight than I can or hike a trail faster than me. A robot could surely crush me at laying out on the beach and snorkeling.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Enjoy what you want without thinking about how much worse you are than someone or something else.

Cook because you like it or have to do it for financial reasons. Write because you enjoy it (or have to for financial reasons). You get the point.


Tech is special! Think about the margins, the gains, the $$$!

I bet on greed. It always wins.


Elysium here we come! Humans for the rich and robots for the poors.


That seems backwards? Robot-assisted surgery costs more and has better outcomes right now. Given how hesitant people are, these aren't going to gain a lot of traction until similar outcomes can be expected. And a rich person is going to want the better, more expensive option.


Robotic assisted surgery is only helpful in some types of operations like colon surgery, pelvic surgery, gall bladder surgery. It’s not been found helpful in things like vascular surgery, cardiac surgery, or plastic surgery.


I would've fully imagined it the other way around, a robot with much steadier hands, greater precision movements, and 100x better eye sight than a person would surely be used for rich people?


By Elysium level tech a surgery could mean simply swapping an organ with artificially grown clone, so perhaps surgeries won't be that complicated anyway...


I get your point, but wouldn't it be worse to have surgery for the rich and no surgery for the poors?


I’m not sure. Is Elysium style healthcare an inevitable eventuality? Maybe.

I suppose humanless healthcare is better than nothing for the poors.

But as a HENRY - I want a human with AI and robotic assist, not just some LLM driving a scalpel and claw around.


Are you shadow banned? I can only upvote and comment on this single edited comment from you.

Are edited comments unflagged somehow? Weird.


Is that from the protocols? What would you know about society and empire? You’re just some dork on the internet too much.


I think sir, you need to “touch grass” as the kid’s say.



What does this have to do with childhood dental outcomes?

For example: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6169031/pdf/10.1177...

Which finds that fluoridated water likely conservatively prevents about 30% of childhood dental caries.


The country’s citizens who aren’t part of the two personality cults are becoming violently opposed to the extra legally acting billionaire who is high on ketamine cutting up the 80 year old system that made him extraordinarily wealthy?

Greed brings Americans together. That’s what makes America great. Only a small market correction and no official Q1 data and swing suburbia is starting to notice. Any further erosion of wealth or actual recession and Republicans are fucked.


Under Joe Biden, people who wanted to complain about the economy often mistook their own feelings for “recession”. If you asked them to point to two consecutive quarters of negative growth, they’d look at you like you’re changing the subject. I expect we’re going to see a lot more Sharpies used in econometrics if the same decisions and personalities are still involved in Q3.


In fact, April 30 at 8:30 AM, we’ll see which definition of GDP they promote. Lutwick hints that he’d like the sum of all domestic transactions except for those with the government on one or both sides.


Analogous to Brexit, possibly more destructive.


Which is the second personality cult, out of curiosity? There's nobody in the world that democrats would treat like Trump, for so many reasons.


Trump/Musk.

Trump is a catastrophic disaster. Just wait for Q1 and Q2, little boy. Go watch some YouTube.
