My use of kickback goes back to late 90s / early 00s.
A kickback was more "formalized" than just hanging out, but smaller than a party. Same general premise of there being drinks and food at someone's house at a certain time and date, but the expectation is that it would be much more chill. Maybe 6-10 people or so, hang out, drink some beers, maybe smoke a bowl, that kind of thing.
These are absolutely going to be used to break up big fights, then small fights, then arguments, then they'll just be roaming the halls looking for any undesirable activities.
I've got a really bad memory. Ever since seeing Iron Man (I was never into the comics), I've dreamed of having a JARVIS-esque virtual assistant, something that could be omnipresent in my life to document and recall and remind and suggest and...
I'd be willing to pay for it, too. $100-$150 a month, maybe more, would be well worth it to keep my life from spiraling, like it has a tendency to do. But it would have to be my data. Never used for anything but myself. And that's just unacceptable to the Tech Bros.
With self-hosted LLMs continuing to get better and cheaper, maybe this will happen in my lifetime. 🤞
Agreed. I understand why cases go moot when things go a certain way, but god damn sometimes I wish it wasn't the case and officials still had to go through the process and explain their fuckery.
