I don't want AI to create new garbage. I just want it to find what's already in my garbage pile. I want an AI search for my filesystem, that I can just tell "hey I saved a meme somewhere, it's mostly dark on the left side and says mfw browser saved in random place on it" and it'll find every match

Other languages have such great single word and short idioms, we really don't have that. We should be the first language to have a word for the emotion "dashing around madly like a cat chased by his own turd after eating a string yesterday"

Did you know that pick n pull parking lots are equipped with ecology blocks and a 2 inch ratchet strap and harbor freight deadblow will straighten out a rear ended Honda Accord in like an hour of screwing around? Now you do. Only took 4 pulls and a bit of hammer and dolly work to get it 95%.

Well that's weird, my horrific broken flexplate noise went away by itself and within a few days of the same time (not sure which happened first, I just put two and two together here) my oil pressure went *up* by over 20psi. I'm not sure it is the flexplate and I'm now very uneasy.

Well. I lasted all of 5 hours before accidentally ending up with another 4L80e core in the bed of my truck. Oops.

The supreme court literally gave Biden a blank check to ice Trump and his illegitimate justices and just call it an official act any time between July 1 and Jan 20 and he and the DNC STILL managed to flub the most important election of my entire life and just toss the keys to a blatant fascist

Y'all, if you can figure out how to do so, save this video and upload it somewhere else, remember that YouTube is owned by Google and the dbag CEO of Google (who is why search results suck ass now and they're ratholing infinite money at AI) is busy sucking up to TFG

Alright, since you know who is probably gonna take a wrecking ball to the FDA, CDC, and NSF, and there's already another possible pandemic on the horizon. Who knows some mRNA nerds? I'm not particularly smart when it comes to this shit but I'm also not looking to rely on the (see replies)

I can see the fundraising emails and change dot org petitions already. The Democrats are utterly useless for dealing with problems like this. I am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood.

Dear Tech Companies, No. We don't want "A.I." anything. We don't want A.I. social media "friends." We don't want A.I.-generated news reporters or anchors. We don't want A.I. to curate our music or make our movies. We REALLY don't want A.I. put in charge of our insurance claims or kids' education.
