Eventually you’ll be able to walk around invisibly simply by not carrying a phone.

Art naturally proliferates as people have more free time. Right now we’re all overworked and overstressed, so much less art happens.

WTF that looks badass, I need to try that game

It’s from cyberpunk:

• solo = unaffiliated mercenary (presumably)
• Eddies = eurodollars
• gonk = slightly derogatory term for just some dude

Basically the guy hired a mercenary bodyguard for cheap and the bodyguard went off the rails and tore some dude’s arms off.

It’s relatable because this kind of thing happens all the time in cyberpunk - it might even be hinting a little at cyberpsychosis, where a person has so many cybernetic implants that they go crazy on the violence.

That’s why the US blew up that girls’ school, Grok just couldn’t stay away from underage children.

Now I want an RPG where you have to pack your bags with a physics simulation like this.

Have you ever seen Linus and Miku in the same room at the same time? Hmmm

Nice, maybe we should also seize any AI sites being used to generate sexual images of minors.

Oh no wait, it’s okay if you’re a trillionaire, carry on.

No doubt he’s going to be legendary

We’re in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal that will not allow in any way, shape or form nuclear weapons.

Ah yes, clearly negotiations are just about to finalize when pilots are being actively shot down.

Please, even a brief cursory search proves that Mormons aren’t the only Christians that denounce the Nicene Creed. If you aren’t even willing to do a simple Wikipedia search to verify your facts, this conversation isn’t worth continuing. Have a good day!

The Nicene Creed is NOT the definition of Christianity.

There have always (and I mean always) been sects of Christianity that reject core points in that. Even the most cursory delves into religious history makes that painfully obvious.

Mormons also own an insane amount of real estate.

You cannot pretend orthodox Christianity is all of Christianity. That’s ridiculous.

You’re twisting definitions. “Religion” is a widely applicable term, and just because somebody is doing something bad with a religion doesn’t invalidate its taxonomy.

Yes, Jesus, son of God, born to the Virgin Mary, died on the cross, resurrected. Then only AFTER his resurrection he was supposed to have visited the Americas very briefly.

It’s basically equivalent to Jesus appearing to Saul rather than his secret vacation in America.

I mean, not that there’s any evidence at all for anything in the Book of Mormon (quite the contrary) but that’s not the part that would be incompatible canonically.

I don’t think that’s quite true. (Happy to be proven wrong if somebody has better numbers than me.)

From what I can see the launch business generated $4.1 billion, but profits in that segment are negative because the $3 billion in Starship development costs are lumped in to that. The overall loss (-$600 million) would instantly turn into great profit if they decided to give up on Starship.

But for sure, xAi is a nightmare. Absolutely Elon trying to bail himself out again.

Starlink is massively profitable, look at their balance sheets. It’s very simple, their users pay them a lot of money to access the internet. Far, far more than the launch costs to maintain the constellation.

Their defense launch business is also profitable, though I haven’t checked how much.

The Starship development and stupid acquisitions (xai) have been a money pit though.

They literally are Christian, which is the belief in Jesus as the son of God. Full stop. Any other definition is intentionally designed by certain Christians to delegitimize other versions of Christianity.

The biblical canon was determined by several committees hundreds of years after Christianity was founded, and only explicitly formalized for Catholics in 1545! Heck the canon is STILL not fully agreed upon in Christian denominations. It’s clearly a terrible indicator for what defines a Christian.

Moreover, just because one religion decided to add to that canon does not inherently stop them from being Christian. It’s ALL made up, a little extra bullshit doesn’t make it any different.
