Before smartphones people had to want to “go on the internet”, and know how to use a web browser. Now many people only know how to access “the internet” through “apps” to corporate controlled walled gardens like facebook, tiktok, etc.
On the other hand, the eternal September effect from smartphones ruined the internet. What will this ruin?
Honestly the only thing that concerns me about GM crops is allowing companies like monsanto to have patent monopolies on seeds.
Octopodes no longer die when they give birth, meaning they can teach their young and form societies.
Laundering money using soap is a little on the nose.
But the SC should never decide the president in a Democracy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_threat
The true threat doctrine was established in the 1969 Supreme Court case Watts v. United States.[3] In that case, an eighteen-year-old male was convicted in a Washington, D.C. District Court for violating a statute prohibiting persons from knowingly and willfully making threats to harm or kill the President of the United States.[3]
The conviction was based on a statement made by Watts, in which he said, “[i]f they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J.”[3] Watts appealed, leading to the Supreme Court finding the statute constitutional on its face, but reversing the conviction of Watts.
In reviewing the lower court’s analysis of the case, the Court noted that “a threat must be distinguished from what is constitutionally protected speech.”[3] The Court recognized that “uninhibited, robust, and wide open” political debate can at times be characterized by “vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.” In light of the context of Watts’ statement - and the laughter that it received from the crowd - the Court found that it was more “a kind of very crude offensive method of stating a political opposition to the President” than a “true threat.”[3]

Six dimensional termite mounds?
Or they could see in a smaller range of frequencies, so what looks like a plain white room to us is a masterpiece of modern art to them?
Technically taking human remains isn’t grave robbing, it’s body snatching. Grave robbing is taking artifacts like jewellery.

You will almost certainly regret that.
I think he’s kinda right. The market for paintings and other analogue art massively shrunk with the invention of photography and then digital art, but it still exists.
We’ll probably see something similar with “organic” digital art.
How can it be that bad?
I’ve used zoom’s ai transcriptions, for far less mission critical stuff, and it’s generally fine (I still wouldn’t trust it for medical purposes)
