Aw, that's the best part. I love paying with my ridiculous smart watch that I didn't need.

Most self checkouts use cameras and AI where I am.
Honestly I don't know. It's really more the sentiment that I'm expressing. I'm aware that the wealthy are very good at playing shell games. No measures would catch everything.
Musk openly stated that he spoke directly with Putin after the Ukraine invasion had started. The super wealthy have no loyalties and will sell anyone and anything to the highest bidder. I've said it before, every penny after $1 billion needs to be taxed at 100%. Time to reign in the oligarchs.
I agree, but also a tragic day. This does nothing to reduce the polarization or convince his misguided followers of anything. Trump might go away but his voters won't. We have decades of this to look forward to. It's a step in the right direction at least...
Who makes someone get rid of a gaming console?
Success is mainly about sucking up to the right people. No matter how good you are at your job, you have to know how to play work politics. Most bosses don't know how to evaluate actual ability, and they're much less objective than they think. Usually they favor more likeable employees over capable ones if forced to choose. Human life is a popularity contest, always has been, always will be. That's the side effect of being a highly social species...
I'm just going to go out on a limb and say, maybe it shouldn't be possible for one person to have enough wealth to singlehandedly buy and destroy important social institutions.
Also, maybe smart people shouldn't be putting all their eggs into one privately owned basket.
I just spent several seconds trying to figure out if "kobe" is some imaginary alien word I'm supposed to know from Star Trek or something.
It was a stupid impulse buy, yes...
