But in any case, I am glad I am not from the US. Windows is made in the US. I wouldn’t be surprised if they push this crap to the rest of the world too. Same with Android and IOS.

Be quiet about that, if they hear it’ll reduce their list of suspects by half!

We can’t, but LLMs can!

Facebook?

CAPITALism. It’s kind of right there in the name. Quite on the nose, I might add.

So, AIs are going to be breeding humans. And that brings us one step closer to the Matrix.

You witnessed the birth of a new word. At least show some appriciation for this privilege. Iis

A Tomahawk cruise missile is 5m tall, Printing that would take quite some time.

Only fair as they haven’t listened to us in decades.

Great that California allows us to be angry about it.

Actually a good comparison. The printing press still required people to compose the text to print. It only did away with the copying of existing texts. Ai still needs someone to compose the prompt for it to work and explaining to a computer what to do is programming. We’re only moving a level higher in the abstraction.

The Internet has also been very dumbed down.

What happend is that corporations took over. Sites like Reddit, Facebook and such have their “code of conduct” that limits what you can post and violating that results in losing your account. Both examples made this a very painfull punishment as a Facebook account uses your real name and Reddit make sure that you can’t really make a new account after being banned. The last decade it’s been very noticeable how people start to self censor with bullshit like “PDFile” or “unalive”. We’re living in a 1984 Big Brother re-enactment.

Januari last year I was banned from Reddit over nothing. I did manage to get a new account for allmost a year until I got banned again, again over nothing. But during those months I did experience a lot of selfcensoring because the thread of another ban.

It’s not so much “dumbed down” as it’s become company territory with workplace like rules and policies. And we’re being treated as unpayed personel.

Thrice is clear indicator of a learning disability.

• Ductape, if it’s loose and should be stuck
• WD-40, if it’s stuck and should be loose
• Match, if it 's dark and should be lit
• Hammer, if it’s lit and should be dark.

A friend, with a benefit.

It’s a 6700K build.

That’s hot, are you sure you hooked up the fans?

Quick! Send them the coordinates of all those datacenters so they can avoid them!

I think the discussion misses a key point. Uber avoids any responsibility for its drivers. A normal cab company would hire people for whom they know their real identity. If one of them crosses any lines, they get fired and and getting a new job isn’t as easy as making a new account.

If that was an option, I’d make an Uber account claiming to be a woman. No way I would miss out on that!

Oh Logins are horrible. For example. I have a 3D printer, it’s connected to my LAN. The software to use it, however, requires to a login to connected to this local device. This already sucks, the worst is that me and my wife both use this printer on our own computer and each time she uses it, I’m required to login again after she’s done. I hate this, because this shouldn’t be the case for a local device, secondly every service has different requirements for the password policy, thirdly the app doesn’t remember the password, fourthly, neither do I.
