No really, why is nobody caring that Anthro New England invited a dude to set up an AI spycam in conspace to photograph everyone there? Did everyone in the photos consent to being fed to an AI built using Google's stolen image sets for categorization?

my phone interrupts me writing things to ask if i want to use some AI assistant to do it. there is no option to tell it to fuck off forever, only 'okay' and 'maybe later' i would punch the person responsible for this in the teeth if i could

love the idea that facebook currently operates as some kind of elite liberal walled city and not just a place for divorced uncles to share racist screeds and nursing home bound grandmothers to get their daily dose of "jesus doing parkour" ai slop from an indian content farm

It doesn’t take a genius to see how much revenue artists and authors bring into a country, and yet here we are with a supposedly progressive government telling creatives they should let AI steal all their work 🥲

One of the things that is wild to me is that just a few years ago we PROVED that flu is containable with basic biosecurity measures and that massive yearly case peaks aren't inevitable. And then we just decided to do nothing with that information. news.sky.com/story/number...

Welp, bike lobby just killed progress by banning electric motors capable of more than 750W output--even if they still cannot go faster than 20mph. That means no e-bikes for two or more people (not enough power), and no e-bikes for delivery of heavy objects or lots of small ones (not enough power).

Lets put the poors along major roads. They don’t need trees or shade or greenspace. The big sweltering buildings will buffer the rich people. This is exactly what Canadian cities are doing too, including the one I live in. Appalling.

One of the hardest classes I took in college was Sociology of Immigration, because we had to look up all these diagrams and all the required forms, and remember what they were. It felt impossible. And that was kind of the point.

The job market has decided that using a computer like a professional is basically a given nowadays so you really have to go out of your way to differentiate yourself but that's stupid because computers have been so affected by enshitification it's becoming a nightmare for a normal person to use one

This is particularly relevant because the 2038 bug is looming and we're going to have to do all this again. In 2038, the current timestamp will become too big for 32bit fields. It's worse than Y2K, and we will likely fail because people think Y2K wasn't real and that it was a funny joke mistake.

DAMMIT NPR. I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded. Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.
