The technological advancement of the robots is jaw dropping.
But, this is still just AI slop. Ultimately it's no more useful than generating silly meme pictures to post on Facebook. It's still worthless. It's one thing to be able to pull off pre-programmed and choreographed dances, and another to actually do something useful. When you watch any of these robots actually try to do something useful then it's clear that the companies still have a long way to go.
As impressive as these dances are, even a simple task like loading a dishwasher is going to be orders of magnitude more complicated to train.
Get off of online social networks. Online social networks are bad for your still developing brain. This is not a criticism of you, only that you are a teenager and have a teenagers brain, and that there is a lot of really good psychological evidence coming out showing that being active in online social networks is really bad for you. I recommend that you delete all of your accounts and just enjoy being a teenager. (I swear, after a few weeks you really won't miss it as much as you think you might.)
You aren't over reacting. You are a teenager dating a teenager. If he's not reacting to your texts we quickly as you like, that cool. So it's not working out. Break up with him. It's not going to get better. You really can still be friends at this point, and odds are your relationship probably wasn't going to survive the post-high school-to-college distance anyway. Shrug it off, go buy a cute shirt for yourself and just enjoy being a teenager.
There are just a few left in the GOP that are smart enough to realize that the White "Christian" state that is developing isn't going to put them on top like they thought it would...
After WW2 there was a real, not a joke I swear, proposal to construct a giant dam across the Straight of Gibraltar and dewater the Mediterranean. The thought was that such an endeavor would open up countless square kilometers of new developable land and require so many resources from Europe that the nations wouldn't be able to afford to go to war again.
Synopsis: Social media is really bad for kids. Especially girls. But bad for boys too. Delay your kid's exposure to social media for as long as possible.
I jump between social networks every few years. My social network path has gone from AOL chat groups, to Yahoo News groups, to Facebook for a few years, to Twitter, to Mastodon, to Reddit.
Last week I decided to test Lemmy out. Best thing I can say about it is that it's not any worse than all the others. Which is a pretty good compliment really, considering the resources and network advantages that all the others have.
NATO is one of those instances where I generally agree with Trump on the issue at hand, and then strongly disagree with him on the solutions to the issue.
Like going back to his first administration, I actually agreed with Trump that NATO is a bad deal for America, and also even a bad deal for the other NATO nations. But the solution back then should have been a slow 10-15 year dissolution of NATO. Give Europe time to reorganize themselves, and then end the cold war era alliance. If we has started that process in 2016, Europe would be ten years further along in their own self reliance.
(Where Trump got everything wrong was that instead of actually developing a realistic plan for the dissolution of NATO, he just used the threat of America immediately pulling out to extort our friends.)
This is, in fact, the opposite of a stable regulatory environment.
