Gemini simplified it to this:

“Algorithmic Sabotage” is a new idea about tech rebellion and fighting bad technology. It’s not against tech itself, but about people pushing back together. It wants to break down profit-driven power in the online world, help us do what’s right, and stop computer rules from controlling too much. This is a political stand, not just a tech one, rooted in fairness for everyone, everyone being treated the same, and people helping each other. It goes against how tech makes things unfair and gives some too much control. It’s all about groups of people managing bad tech and building a different, collective way of thinking through art and action. For example, it could mean making artificial intelligence act unexpectedly or looking at how tech is used to create misleading appearances or exert influence.

I’ve been able to turn off notifications for anything on my phone. Only the few apps I choose to allow still give me notifications.

I am fortunate to have a job that does not require a cell phone, I can leave it behind for hours at a time without affecting my work. I know this is not the case for everyone, but it should be an option.

At the very least, a phone required for work should have a separate phone number and email account, and should turn off automatically after the employee clocks out for the day. Some countries already have laws about this stuff, we should do that more.

Current smart phones will become e-waste either way. On that front, the benefit would be forcing all manufacturers to stop creating more e-waste for the future.

That would serve the same purpose without and extra light, I think they’re into something

I think a secondary light that blinks quickly would be a good signal of emergency braking. Like some aftermarket motorcycle taillights that start with a blinking pattern before they stay on, but reverse the order.

So, standard brake light comes on at the standard time, at the first touch of the brake. For stronger braking, the second light comes on. For emergency braking, the standard brake light stays lit while the second light begins blinking frantically.

Edit for consistency

A few minutes of close-up. Otherwise, medium to far shots, shots where the camera is moving enough that a few blemishes in the robot won’t show up, or the focus is on another character in the shot.

Design for movies only have to look good for a few minutes of close-up, and there are many tricks for making them look better in those few minutes.

Shudders* Yeah, humanoid robots that can do advanced human style fighting pale in comparison.

I was told when I was buying that someone else had ordered the set of rings, came in to pick it up and said “nah.” So they were way way cheaper than anything else in the store.

I don’t believe that story anymore

I think I spent 400 for engagement ring and wedding bands together. Over time, it became clear that none of the rings matched, and only one of the three is quality material.

I wish I had spent more on the engagement ring to get a setting that doesn’t stick out so much, it’s too stabby and scratchy. I’d also want to track down a lab grown diamond if I had it to do over again.

I see pixels before brush strokes. Like pixelated brush strokes

The load of getting this brick up to speed quickly so the driver can show off

Thank you for taking it in good faith and for writing up a researched response, bravo to you!

Why would good nutrients end up in poop?

It makes sense that growing a whole plant takes a lot of different things from the soil, and coating the area with a basic fertilizer that may or may not get washed away with the next rain doesn’t replenish all of what is taken makes sense.

But how would adding human poop to the soil help replenish things that humans need out of food?

Their wealth comes from the well off families, then secondarily from the art that sells well due to the artist (through their parents) being well connected to other rich people through the school that mostly filters in favor of rich people.

One job that we can happily hand over to robots

I like to look around at the cars going by, examine the infrastructure around the intersection like the nerd I am, and when the countdown starts (the crosswalk signals usually have a countdown until they switch to “GO”) I’m looking back and forth between the signal and traffic to see who’s stopping and who’s trying to beat the light.

I’m not about to trust my life to a signal when so many drivers are too busy on their phones to notice the big lights in front of them shining a different color than it did a second ago.

That’s my next question. If things are bad enough that the Internet is gone, what reliable source of power would survive the unknown scenario that got things that bad?

That power source would also need to power a separate computer or smartphone that would also need to be kept protected from whatever happened.

Is it also hardened against EPM’s?
