Posted in: Meta AI turns pictures into videos with sound See in context
The number one reason why tech companies want things like these to happen is because of the money they can generate from it. They will sell it as if it's for improving our lives but what it really does is making creative artists obsolete and make them rely on such technologies. Thus making them future customers of the tech companies to generate more income. Most people forget that we are not anymore in the tech era of before when things were about real improvement. We are now in the new era, where it is about generating as much money as possible and manipulating people's minds. If people are not careful enough, soon they will find themselfs trapped.

Posted in: Better train etiquette in Japan: Tips for tourists to ride like a local See in context
I am a foreigner myself in Japan and I agree that many tourists just don't care about Japanese etiquette. Even though they know it they still talk loudly and do whatever they want. I can see it all too often. If you visit another country you have to adjust to the culture. These are basic rules no matter which country you visit in the world.

Posted in: Starbucks' new CEO wants to recapture coffeehouse vibe See in context
Agree with Mu-da-san. I went to a Starbucks a few days ago because a business client wanted to meet there. The coffee is terrible. The sandwiches and doughnuts were tiny and looked as if they had been in the showcase for a couple of days. And it's all very expensive.
Don't exaggerate. We get it you don't like Starbucks.
