Okay, that is genuinely amazing.

Love it, thank you for sharing and for being inspiring :-)

So, it's a drone with uncessercary baggage such life support and a pilot that can't stand the Gs well.

For some reason I am reminded of Dark Star :-)

This was an entirely predictable outcome, first with summaries/snippets, and now with the AI summaries.

It was clear that eventually someone would decide to stop these parasites like google from accessing their content.

Good for them.

Since forts are included in the USA, there are loads of Napoleonic forts missing in the UK.

Plymouth is surrounded by them.

What are we, the powerless people, supposed to do with that as we watch super yachts, private jets, and armies bomb oil storage and gas pipelines?

My office, with the window open, surrounded by trees and in the countryside, and the nearest large town being 20 miles away, shows 422ppm CO2 pretty consistently.

My oldest granddaughter found copilot on her laptop she uses for homework, and asked it "what are you" and it responded that it was her friend.

I really wish these tools, when asked what/who they are, would respond that they are just tools.

Probably simpler to brick them, forcing the owners to upgrade to a modern and supported device.

Junk media is the shoe that fits.

I'm definitely going to start calling it that when discussing it from now on.

Bad idea.

Giving children extended time in front of screens will lead to Idiocracy.

It's a giant No from me.

I'm in the south UK, live off grid, and have a bunch of solar panels, none of them are flat aside from the 640w of panels on my van, which generate almost nothing during the Winter.

Panels on the sides ot trains might be a better solution.

@ mention style built in would be fabulous, just provide an API.

As would first class mobile support.
