Reply to comment by ChuckChuckRazul in Welcome to the oldest part of the metaverse — Ultima Online, which just turned 25, offers a lesson in the challenges of building virtual worlds by marketrent
I would make the claim that Active Worlds is actually the oldest online metaverse platform, launched 28 years ago. It is like a very early version of Second Life, which came out several years later.

...why would you not want to follow arguably the most important technological development of our time? Get used to it honey, and stop crying. It's only going to get worse. You don't get to pick and choose what it relevant, ok?
I just wish people could grow a brain about what the technology is, and stop pretending it is sentient and shit. That's all I desire. But it's never gonna happen.

These kinds of sales are never about the object that is being sold. In otherwords, it's not that anyone thinks a iphone is worth that much. It's just a money laundering scheme, or a scam or fraud, where an iphone happens the be the surrogate item.
Infact, this article is part of the plan, as well as its being posted to reddit. 100% certain.

This is an exceptional price no doubt motivated more by sentimentality than potential earnings. Far older and more influential tech in unsealed condition doesn't go for that kind of price.
No judgement, maybe he just really, really wanted this in his collection. But he's never getting that $60k back. Maybe he doesn't want it back.

I still have mine, but if I plug it in the screen just briefly flashes every second or so. Ded.

Those relevant excerpts and similar features have been pretty detrimental to search click through rates in certain areas (they’re known as “no click” searches in the industry)… but the alternative is to block google bots entirely, which isn’t viable if you’re operating a content site since google has an effective monopoly on search. Also, those features do still link out to the content they’re showing on the SERP, whereas the chat ai doesn’t and gives the appearance that it’s the source of the information.
Your point about vocabulary is fair

For as long as the service has been free to use, why not finally add something that brings in dollars besides ad revenue. What’s the problem here?

When I was in college I used to get wicked hammered. My nickname was puke. I would chug a fifth of SoCo, sneak into a frat party, polish off a few people’s empties, some brewskies, some Jell-O shots, do some body shots off myself, pass out, wake up the next morning, puke, rally, more SoCo, head to class. Probably would have gotten expelled if I had let it affect my grades, but I aced all my courses. They called me Ace. It was totally awesome. Got straight B’s. They called me Buzz.

Probably more stressful than anything, just clicking refresh on ebay hoping that the value of that first edition Zune you have skyrockets.

Ah yes! You never know! Terrorists may want to get a hold of some bombs and would pay top dollar for them and I heard the Note 7 was pretty useful for that.

>Let's not forget you can make chatGPT tell the truth and then gaslight it into saying it is providing fake news.
Or have it tell a lie, then gaslight you about it.

Not quite. Apple's stock increase from mid 2007 (when the iPhone was released) to today is around 38x when using the "adjusted close" price from June 29, 2007 and present day. That accounts for splits and dividend payments in some fashion, and I'm not going to dive too deeply into the best prices to use (because I have no useful input into that question), but the math is pretty close whichever way you look at it.

No it doesn't. The number is 42x when including DRIP
