I thought it was quite funny, and very obviously a joke.

Yeah. The criminal justice system doesn’t always get it right, but it’s still a better system than anyone being able to have anyone else lynched by calling them a pedo on unsafe evidence.

I don’t think that was what they were saying. They were bemoaning the fact that “3rd world” has become a synonym for “developing” or “poor” when technically it means countries that weren’t part of the cold war, although I think they might be tilting at windmills given it’s a distinction that’s been lost for at least three decades already.

Apart from anything else, even if you keep its original meaning, it still works as a metaphor in the sense of a country losing superpower status.

You don’t want to stifle innovation by adding a bunch of regulations, do you?

If they’re in my apartment I’ve already got bigger problems.

And now Google are actively assisting a genocide, and firing employees who object.

oh wow. I knew IBM were involved, but it always seemed to be handwaved as “yeah we sold them some computers before we knew they were evil and had no control over what they did with them”. But uhh nope. They were complicit as fuck.

DeAnna, 42, suggested her husband had been misled during the military recruiting process.

Surely not. Russian military recruiters have the same dedication to truth and honesty as US military recruiters.

eh, you might have a spare day to source a completely uncompromised camera and find someone in a trusted neutral country who runs an unproblematic hosting service and configure a system to do offsite storage in a secure way, but I’ve got other stuff going on. If you can source me a reasonable alternative I’m happy to use it when it comes time to renew my subscription.

I bought a cheap Chinese security camera for a fraction of the cost of a Ring and signed up for their cloud storage system. I’m more comfortable with the Chinese government being able to access footage of my backyard, than the current US administration.

“Also, I don’t draw pictures,” Trump said on social media in response to the story.

Of course he doesn’t draw pictures. Artistic creation would require one to have a soul or some sense of joy.

So far the combined might of the Russian, Chinese, American and North Korean hacking teams have been unable to crack the post-it note on my desk.

I don’t know if I’ve got a big enough sample size, but the only guys I know who wear black nail polish are creepy Marilyn Manson types who mainly get laid with girls they met in their therapist’s waiting room

I haven’t seen inside their system but the chances of it being an LLM are close to zero, least of all because LLMs are notoriously unreliable at calculating numbers. It’s far more likely that they’re saying “AI” because shareholders, and it’s actually something closer to traditional ML.

Yeah when I started travelling on a generous business expense account I found that it was increasingly the case that I didn’t even need to charge things to it. Things just start becoming fucking free when you’ve got money.

You could be right. Corbyn in the UK had a HUGE swell of support with record numbers of people joining the Labour Party just before its leadership election just to vote for him. Didn’t translate to votes when the general election came around.

Yeah I thought the same, can’t pinpoint it exactly (the kerning on the TT is odd but just about plausible), but even if it’s not AI it’s definitely fake as fuck regardless. “Messages from Management” is one of the easiest laziest forms of bait.

And remember, billionaires didn’t get to be billionaires by spending money that they didn’t think would result in more money coming back to them.

I think this above all many other things over the last couple decades are where the Democratic Party have gone mask-off about who they really are.

They’ve lost the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and both Houses in recent years, and finally the moment they get one small chance of victory they’re just… nope, we’d rather lose yet another election than allow a left-of-center candidate to win.

A lot of people in this thread are falling for the classic weasel headline reporting trick of using the word “after” to imply a connection, when there’s zero evidence in the article body to suggest it means anything other than two different events happened a day apart.
