Right now, there's about 75 coins/pools/mining methods that are more profitable from a pure mining perspective than XMR... with just an Nvidia 3080.

Hilariously, GLadOS is ... actually much more relatable, in that she...well I hope this isn't spoilers at this point?
She was mostly kind of originally a human, and is actually at least capable of empathy, she has moments where she seems to express at least barely, a sense of concern for Chell's wellbeing.
Sort of.
lol
She also gets stuck in a potato.
SHODAN on the other hand is literally 'fuck you, pathetic worm, I am God.'
Probably yes?
I do not know as much about how strict of a theocracy Egypt was in that time period, but probably fairly substantially, yes.
Free funeral expenses, rofl
There is a whole universe of coins beyond BTC and Monero, and many of them are more profitable to mine with non ASIC hardware than Monero.
Why would a malicious malware botnet dev choose to mine a more difficult to mine, and thus less profitable crypto currency, when their botnet could instead be mining a much more profitable coin with their botnet?
I won't argue that ransomware often asks for payment in monero, because monero is actually difficult to track and deanonymize, but ransomware and a distributed mining botnet are not the same thing.
Or, arguably more frightening... her predecessor...
Ok, got that?
Now, the soundtrack to your doom.
Absolutely no disrepect to GLadOS, but you gotta respect your elders as well.
EDIT: Updated with better quality song link.
Grok literally declared itself MechaHitler and then also sexually harased the CEO of Twitter in I think the same week, CEO quit the next day.
Elon has also publically said he is altering Grok to be more in line with his worldview.
This isn't probable, its definitely actually happening.
Anyway, remember how 10 years ago Musk was really concerned about AI being able to potentially do massive harm?
And now he... is just an insane person who is doing his best to ensure this will happen?
He's an actual comic book supervillain at this point.
Probably the biggest or most remarkable difference is that we metabolize food.
And thus piss and shit.
So... shitsack, pissbag, fartboy/girl, stuff like that, would likely make a lot of sense for an entity that doesn't do that, and it is also very literally accurate.
Oh and then... having sex, gender and reproductive organs.
A machine intelligence doesn't have, or need those, beyond serving some kind of purpose to humans.
If it doesn't care to appeal to or fit in with humans, why would it bother?
Why would it even kind of give a shit about gender norms, beyond understanding them as a thing humans do, with whatever intent behind that understanding?
That word you are looking for is 'maddening'.
This is why so many Americans identify with the Joker, use terms like 'clown world', why I have an extremely dark sense of humor at this point.
Being well-adjusted to a deeply sick and dysfunctional society is not a sign of mental wellbeing.
And yeah, I would have gotten out some time ago now, but unfortunately I've been crippled by injuries, and thus, impoverished by the rest of US society... so I'm here for the long haul, untill I more fully recover both my body and my finances.. though the good news there is I am making good progress... but the bad news is it may take a while longer still.
In the mean time, ... welp, just gotta hope Trump and the Reps don't cancel the Disability Insurance part of Social Security, otherwise I'm homeless in a month or two, and then likely dead or in some kind of prison or internment camp in another couple months.
The current plan for the homeless is, as with brown skinned people, concentration camps.
Wait, the tear ducts count... but the eyesocket itself doesn't?
Huh.
I would have intuitively thought the hole the optic nerve goes through counts, but I guess thats not really a uh, topologically true hole, as its mostly just a void in your skull.
