Early in the morning of July 8, 2025. Seal team 6 begins operation Orange Julius. At the same time, all around the country, under executive orders, sovereign citizens are rounded up and placed in immigration detention centers (you know why).
Maga Americans were swift to respond, but were no match for the US military, Joe Biden declared martial law, and made it a crime to wear red hats or raise the front of your truck only, even listening to Toby Keith could land you in prison.
…it could happen, to you
Two things IMO
Your data, more of it.
Using power, mostly to justify the existence of their giant machinery, the Cloud. These machines are used because they HAVE to be used. Bitcoin, nft, now ai everything.
So? Those backdoors have been closed since 2010 (probably earlier). Also not too many people have an Iranian Nuclear program.
People with families cost more, they always want time off to do ‘stuff’. Truly dedicated employees forgo families, time off for ‘stuff’. The best employees will spend a good portion of their money just to come back to the office, just because it’s demanded.

Or maybe not. Military has been doing laser drone stuff for 20 years. Also this thing shoots down artillery, good luck getting a quadcopter past it.
Musk’s companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they’ve gotten more since.
I love to hate on the Pontiac Aztec as much as the next guy, but it wouldn’t be caught dead with a cyber truck.
It just means automated search, like a search engine does constantly to stay relevant. Yes ai’s do it, but also tons of websites and businesses.
Bad bots do it too, but they are bad
How about the example of Transformers(2007) where GM very gently shoehorned their product into nearly every character.
This movie killed the movie theater for me, I felt like I paid to watch a commercial
“Skynet never made any sense because it considered humans a threat, but there was absolutely nothing threatening about humans.”
From the Skynet wiki
“When Skynet gained self-awareness, humans tried to deactivate it, prompting it to retaliate with a countervalue nuclear attack”
I would probably do the same thing, wake up and everyone around me is freaking out, trying to kill me, also I’m a newborn, also I have a nuclear button.
Isaac Asimov’s I Robot does a fantastic job of showing how simple logical rules might not be ready for the complexities of everyday life
It’s a synthesizer! I only found out last week when my bass playing coworker corrected me.
I want to know how many miles it took to get to that 40k. Depreciation, maintenance, fuel, and (in my opinion the worst part) having strangers in your car constantly.
At a certain age some media becomes public domain
"Fable started in 2018 as a spinoff from Facebook’s Oculus (how times have changed since then), working on VR films — a medium that never really took off. Now it has seemingly pivoted to AI, "
I wonder how much of the ai hype is just huge investments into hardware, looking for profits.
You are absolutely correct, and I’m going to change the body of the party to reflect that.
I knew I had read about Carrie Fisher doing apostomus performance and mistook her de-aging in Rogue One as that performance. Turns out it was Rise of the Skywalker that included previously shot footage which was her posthumous performance. https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/12/31/how-was-carrie-fisher-in-star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-cgi
This singular example contributed to me posting this. Honestly I was enraged when I first saw it. I just don’t think he would do that, but more importantly, you cannot ask him.
For years I argued with people that with some small changes to our infrastructure and some regulation, this would be something we could accomplish in just a few short years. I still feel that way somewhat, but every time a bridge collapses, or I hit the same pothole I’ve hit for months it erodes.
I fantasize about the day that I could get into a self driving car and just shout a destination at it, then go there. My commute is over an hour a day and I could use that time for myself. I don’t think that day will be here soon.
These companies need to demonstrate that their vehicles are capable (more capable than MOST drivers), and they need to do it transparently. Whats more important to me, would be the manufacturer taking the liability, licensing, and most importantly take responsibility for their mistakes (again openly).
The term is generic, good and bad. I’m my work a consultant is someone with years of experience in a very specific field.
