Not to detract from your point but Y2K was a very real threat - albeit likely not to things like nuclear weapons or planes as was often reported, but to every day software that was beginning to run the world - and it was only not a problem bc thousands of engineers worked like hell to fix it ahead of time. I only like to mention it because it's somewhat hopeful, like dealing with the ozone layer. We can in fact take collective action to fix problems.

Anyway Google "2038 problem" if you wanna get in on the ground floor of grifting for the next one

This is actually probably as good as any US copyright shit can be. Wholly generated works aren't copyrightable, but an actual artist using an AI to do some generative fill or something on a photo isn't screwed out of their ownership. Time will tell how it actually gets used I guess

I had a specific sandwich the morning of an infusion, 5+ years out I genuinely can't think of that sandwich without getting nauseous and I haven't been back to that restaurant since

I think someone's original comment was actually making a joke about the gold the Swiss laundered for the Nazis - they were saying that Switzerland is bad

 

Apologies if everyone knew this and it was a sitewide bit but I did not and now I feel kinda gross for having used it

EDIT: Converted to an archive link out of concerns about direct linking to reactionary site, mea culpa

To clarify: this is NOT the silly letter quote, that was very real
