Intel must be kicking themselves for not using their own fabs for Arc, AND divesting from Micron, Optane, and HMC.
Apple and others must be too, for snubbing Intel and Samsung.
They would be making money hand over fist, and relieving the market at the same time.
Because the algorithm loves them.
These guys don’t pop into children’s feeds on accident.
Its just ragebait.
Trump is like an ascended internet troll.
It usually doesn’t look like that though.
Some weird or really old lenses can have effects like this though.
That’s some weird bokeh. What lens is this?

We will all either be transcendent uploaded cyber-furry collectives spread across space governed by dyson sphere gods (or some variant of that).
Or we will be dead.
The Fermi Paradox kinda points to the latter.
OA is a somewhat reasonable extrapolation, though. Its optimistic, but even then, they almost didn’t make it.
I guess people would rather eat shit than vegetables.
It’s not entirely their choice. The algorithm decides what’s presented.
Hence the meme…

I mean. Step back, and its the same either way.
But I suppose the anguish is on the “liker,” as the undecided is the one who gets to ponder their feelings and decide the fate of the date.
…So if I was being selfish, I’d want to be the “undecided.” Generous, and I’d want to be the “liker,” so the heartache would be on me instead of my date.
If I had knowledge of this cosmic situation, I guess I’d be the liker. I don’t want my date to have to sweat while I decide; I want them to have fun. And I’d classify myself as “looser than average,” so I wouldnt mind and just enjoy the time with the attractive person.
Its like no one in charge had ever seen a real video game, much less played one.
Some day, I would love to read a postmortum of where all that money went.
I hope the glasses break on their face. But:
The two customers were, in fact, recording Hinkle, and the entire exchange was turned into content for social media.
…Can people not see this is the root problem?
These asswipes make a living being asswipes because Google, Meta, or Tiktok pay them to. Thats the root incentive. Most wouldnt risk all that trouble unless it was their living.
In other words, I dont want the moral of the story to be “this wouldnt happen without Meta glasses.” The platform subsidizing those glasses is the ultimate problem.
I think the main benefit, theoretically, would be engagement with other parts of the Fediverse. It might be an introduction to many if they see an update scroll by in the feed.
What’s even creepier is that Facebook would track the snot out of anyone interacting with the ad. It would aggressively serve them more content like that.
…Don’t people have any shame, even if they’re into weird shit? What they’ve been tapping will be obvious to anyone who looks at their feed.
Nudes classification predates LLMs by decades. Its accurate, and dirt cheap, because it had to be to detect CP.
You can bet Lemmy.world uses it. Plenty of smaller companies do it. Pick any NSFW picture on CivitAI, and you can see how insanely accurate autotagging has gotten.
So, no… this was not an accident on Facebook’s part.
The Feng Shui is strong, with this one.
For a second, I thought this required creators to watch 8000 hours of videos, and felt relief.
It would at least throw up an obstacle for bot/spam accounts. They’d have to make the effort of watching a bunch of videos.
…But no.
At 25? Where I settled now.
Religion can provide a loving, peaceful philosophical framework to live by. Some of the most wholesome, kind, generous people I’ve known are devout.
People’s brains are all wired differently, and this works well for some.
It’s cultural. You can’t just throw away that huge part of someone’s background
But.
Some of the most unspeakable things in my personal life happened in the name of religion.
Ive seen it ruin families, and kick rationality out of groups and instill hate in its place. Not in news feeds; with my own two eyes.
What’s more, some religions reinforce idolization and “worship” of people, which is extremely dangerous.
So I’ve settled on this:
…I respect other people’s faith, especially in people I respect in person. People do what they do, you know? They have their own perspective of the world, and I’m not going to presume to know better.
And I keep in mind that religion is more philosophical for many. And that kind, devout people won’t push it on you.
But I am under no obligation to share it. I’m sure as hell going to push back against idol worship, anti-science thinking, bigotry, political cultism and so on, but not cross the line to their belief in God or the afterlife or whatever.
…And I have no interest in it myself. It doesn’t fit my brain.
This was a journey, though. For a long time I was an “apathetic Christian” because it felt like an obligation, even though Christianity made no sense to my systemic view of the world. I would have never dared admit I was agnostic or atheist when I was 18, not even to myself.
Is this legal?
It is. Other countries have done this.
But if you’re wondering if it smells fishy, well, there’s reasons other countries have stopped doing this as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrant_investor_programs#Controversy

Blocking someone reduces ragebait engagement, and they can’t have that, I guess…
