I love Kagi. It’s worth the cost to me, but I didn’t really love DuckDuckGo personally so maybe you would have a different experience?

I know you’re writing in Belter creole, but I can’t help but read it as Jar Jar Binks.

No. I’m saying we should be more thoughtful about how we use it and train it.

It’s my favorite book too. I’m conflicted. AI isn’t going back in the box.
At the same time, it’s kinda like the way Belters are treated, barely getting their needs met in favor of corporate profits. AI is doing the same thing to a lot of people looking for work and is built off stolen labor.

This not my dog but it is my photo. I took this at a local grocery store. The owner must have been inside and when I left they were gone.

I’ve been here. Not to the ocean floor but to Grand Cayman where the Stingrays are. They are so accustomed to tourists feeding them the all gather in one area where the boats go to see them .
For a period of time, boats were banned from this because predators figured out they could have a Stingray buffet.

This is what I’ve been saying. Doesn’t matter if AI/LLMs are capable of doing the job. If CEOs think it can, they will do layoffs.

- Comment on 'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN 1 month ago:
This is the real reason Nintendo is suing emulators and ROM hosts. They JUST realized there is a market for this. Took them 30+ years to figure it out.

Roblox looks cute like Minecraft so parents don’t pay attention to it.
Most games have a chat feature tacked on, but Roblox is more like a chatroom with games added on. It’s a chatroom where around 60% of the user base is under the age of 16. 40% of the users are under the age of 12.
Grooming starts on Roblox but the bad stuff happens in places like Discord private servers. Roblox doesn’t do anything to stop it because the can claim ignorance since it doesn’t happen directly in their chat.
I know a kid who went through this. I was the one that had to flag all the messages for Discord to get involved. The kid talked to me about the online groomers bc he wasn’t comfortable talking to his parents since he hadn’t told them that he was gay. I can’t imagine kids like him who deal with abuse because they don’t have anyone they feel safe to tell.
If you have kids that play these games, talk to them about online safety. Make sure you have a plan for when something bad happens. When not if. Work together with your kid to find a third party that you trust and the kid would feel comfortable talking to if something happens and they are afraid to tell you, maybe a relative or a close friend.

On top of this, some restaurants are pretty upfront about it. If I remember correctly, Sonic burger patties are part beef, part mushroom.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 months ago:
Personally, I prefer not to be Nintendo because of Nintendo’s behavior, but the price is why they still struggle to sell these.
They sold a ton right out of the gate. Everyone that really wanted one already got one. After that, they need parents and grandparents to get them for the kids and that isn’t going to happen as much.
Nintendo was basically a “toy”. You could, for the most part, safely buy a Nintendo console for your kids at a somewhat reasonable price. (I know the OG consoles were a bit pricey).
You could buy your kid a handheld console for ~$200 or less. The Switch 1 was $300, but you could still get your kid a Lite for $200.
Now, the only option is a $450 Switch 2.

Yeah I have a bad habit of never finishing games despite playing the first 1/4 of the game several times.
I need a refresher like TV shows do when they come back for a new season.
