Has he actually given up on the Metaverse thing at this point?

For Lemmings from other areas, it doesn’t read like a warning, exactly, but in the context of what the Alberta government literally this minster has been doing it kind of is.

Edit: Didn’t notice this is signed Devin Dreeshen.

This government has blown up one Calgary transport plan already (they’re literally building two halves that don’t enter downtown at all now), so that may or may not be wise. Cities don’t really have constitutional protections in Canada or Alberta.

I’d have no problem if someone did me, for the record. Seems only incrementally different from mental imagery or writing a fanfic.

At this point I’m clearly in a minority, though.

These are all Eastern European software developers, per the article.

I’m picturing something like Slenderman arriving and dragging me off to the land of model failures forever.

Because if not, I feel like this could get the team in legal or at least financial hot water with investors.

Which doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, just that it’s not normal and okay.

Pretty much.

Well, that’s too far in the other direction. Zero is a very small number, and Derek Chauvin is in jail.

I think we all know the practice of that is a little hit-and-miss.

If it was identifying Lemmy users, it definitely would be. But, it’s a tool that reveals identities of a small, supposedly accountable group during real-life interactions, and we’re just mentioning it, so it seems like there’s at least an argument to allow it.

Oh how the tables have turned, lol.

My sense at this point is that grotesque flattery works on Trump, but only to a point. Trump doesn’t really like anyone, the best you can do is a slightly-better-than-neutral relationship. (And at the other end he’s willing to coexist with anyone who hasn’t personally slighted him, like Kim Jong Un)

I mean, he also paints himself orange and thinks it’s hot…

I stand corrected. It’s less clear which ones definitely need it, exactly. Wikipedia mentions that even Tc-99m generator designs can use low-enriched uranium. You don’t need large quantities in that case, either, since a little radioisotope goes a long way and there’s only so many people that need treatment.

Lol, isn’t that symbolic.

It definitely is.

OP worries about being replaced “like the programmers of old”.

I’m pretty sure this is set in the future.

I mean, most of it is enriching, by the sound of it, and they’ve been doing that far beyond any civilian application. As a negotiating tactic, to date, per America’s own intelligence.

Well, I’m mildly surprised.

The suddenness kind of reminds me of when he bombed Assad.
