Just hang on tight! There is no way in hell any of it is stopping. The politicians will be worried about other nations winning the race.

Who knows what the future will hold. I think there is hope though

Because Google’s current CEO doesn’t dare to do anything risky.

He’s just a rest n vest seat-warmer benefitting from all the easy money from advertising.

This!!! Google hasn’t come up with anything since Sundar led the company. He doesn’t dare to rock boats or drive results.

Google glasses, dead. Stadia, dead. Then there’s waymo and verily taking forever to release whatever they are working on. Got some results on quantum? Doesn’t monetize cuz scared…

Wonder why the board is so patient with Sundar that doesn’t deliver…

If that digital wall holds all the crazy US stuff from reaching us in other countries, i'd say it's a win.

So Warner doesn’t know what is a firewall, much less what it does.

You dont use chatGPT to fake out your family that you're still on facebook so they don't look for you on TikTok?

You don’t say.

who tf is talking about vr? and no it’s not hype, it’s pretty insane just not quite there yet which doesn’t mean hype

Why doesn’t google just buy chatgpt? They probably have the cash for it.

Rocketlab is the best space company on the market in my opinion, rn the stock is hot garbage but at $4 you could imagine what it would look like in 10-20 years

I fucking double dog dare them to do this. Can you even imagine the power of every hacker, hobbyist, and hat in the nation directed against the federal government? They are truly starting a fight they cannot possibly win.

Virtual reality is still hype though. No one wants to spend hours without legs.

our data

Idk why you all are cheering AI on.

If the suits can replace us with an AI they will.

I for one AM NOT OKAY with that idea.

Lol @ the contact your senators comment. Yes please do and watch them not give a fuck and reply with a cut and paste response that basically says go fuck yourself.

Repeat it with me, we are living under feudalism with extra steps. Now move along peasants.

Well, that's why we have to learn to leave with Facebook and TikTok despite their effects.

And then China is going to be angry that we copied their Great Firewall without their consent, and WW3 possibly happens. 🙄

Do you want Skynets?! Because this is how you get Skynets.

> The concorde never took off

This is technically not true

Have you tried it recently? It's improved a lot in the past few days.

i’m just replying to above comment, sure the hype might be misplaced and based on misunderstandings, but they do exist and work for what they do. Fusion likewise has had a revolutionary breakthrough as of a couple months ago that paves the way for actual implementation. All i’m trying to say it’s not the 90s anymore, where yes you kept hearing about this and nothing seemingly happened, now it’s actually becoming a reality, it’s not hype

Here's a template you can use if you can't be bothered to write your own.

Subject: Urgent: Please Oppose the Restrict Act - Protect Our Freedoms

Dear [Representative's Name],

I hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. My name is [Your Name], and I am a concerned citizen residing in [Your City/Town], [Your State]. I am writing to you today to express my deep concern regarding the Restrict Act, which is currently under consideration. I implore you not to support this legislation and to actively oppose it to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of our citizens.

The Restrict Act, as it stands, presents a number of troubling implications for our society:

Infringement on Privacy: The Act would grant extensive surveillance powers to government agencies, eroding the privacy rights of millions of Americans. This sets a dangerous precedent, as it further encroaches upon our Fourth Amendment rights.

Suppression of Free Speech: The broad scope of the legislation may lead to the suppression of free speech and expression, both online and offline. The Act's vague language could be interpreted in ways that stifle dissenting opinions and penalize lawful protest, undermining our First Amendment rights.

Disproportionate Impact on Marginalized Communities: The Restrict Act is likely to disproportionately affect marginalized communities, who have historically been subjected to greater scrutiny and surveillance. This would further perpetuate social inequity and injustice in our society.

Misallocation of Resources: The resources allocated to enforce the Restrict Act could be better spent addressing pressing issues in our state, such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. These areas are in dire need of attention and funding, and would benefit our citizens far more than the implementation of a repressive law.

I strongly urge you to take these concerns into account and to stand up for the rights and freedoms of your constituents by opposing the Restrict Act. As an elected representative, your primary duty is to protect and uphold the best interests of the people you serve. By opposing this legislation, you would be demonstrating a commitment to preserving the democratic values that make our nation great.

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Your Email Address] [Your Phone Number]

The bill allows a punishment of 20 years prison and a $250k-$1m fine for posting anything, and I mean anything the government finds unsavoury online.

By this law it’s possible that playing a video game and talking about guns/bombs could land you in jail for 20 years and all of your property is seized by the government.

Once you’re labelled a threat to national security they can search any of your computers, phones, notebooks, social media’s for anything that they deem unsavoury and take quite literally anything out of context and use it against you.

Tweeted a meme about 9/11? Jail

Called a politician an asshole? Jail

Watching YouTube videos about Islam? Believe it or not straight to jail.
