Micromanagement. If you go “AFK” in just 2 minutes… your boss might start asking questions. Where did you go? Why weren’t you working? All sorts of bullshit every bad manager would pull out. In a misguided attempt to try to ensure you give “110%” performance!

I had a manager years ago, she tried to enforce phone codes. She would then compile a report. Trying to determine when you were on break, when you went to use the bathroom, how much time you weren’t in the phone queue, etc. She was eventually demoted from her position for basically making enemies of everyone she managed. And that report didn’t help any meaningful metric.

Perhaps its different there, Europe has far better general consumer protection policies. But in the US, generally, if someone gets your debit card info, they can drain your account and the bank won’t do anything. The money is gone.

If you can, I’d suggest switching to a credit card and just pay it off every month. The general lack of consumer protection on debit cards is frightening. So many companies put minimum effort in protecting your data.

You don’t need specialized equipment. It’s easy enough to be done at home.

What, how’d you get my IP! You haxxor!?

So really the list should show all the subsidaries. Because there’s probably a decent number of people that don’t know.

Fine, call the necromancers!

They’re not 90%, yet… But just raise the prices and pass the blame has been in fashion pretty hard for the last 6 years.

I tried reading it, but I got lost…

Or, hear me out. You go for a bigger baby… just target the shit out of Trump and Vance.

Elon will just do what he needs to do to silence the posts and posters. But if the platform is making deepfakes of Trump… that’ll cause more tension between them. Have deepfakes of Trump bragging about getting away with the Epstein files, scamming over his mindless followers, etc. (Lets be honest, they’d be fake videos of things that actually happened.) Just flood it. And make all of them click bait as hell.

As someone who works on Windows daily… this is so true. One of the things that really annoys me with Windows is being able to reliably do updates. Running any of the update stuff, seems more like a suggestion and if Windows deems your request worthy, it might SLOWLY do something.

Who else is going to have access to it when you keep laying off all the people?

I never wanted AI on my phone, period. I don’t care which one. The Google Assistant was more than enough, if not too much. Never got asked if I wanted any of this shit, it was just forcefully added into every fucking thing.

My old ass phone, Google pushed out AI. (I plan to swap to GrapheneOS soon). It’s less useful than Assistant. And features are disappearing.

My Windows 10 PC… fucking AI added. To be honest, never opened it.

Because I use Android Auto when driving, technically, thanks to Google, I have AI there too. And as stated, it’s less functional than the original assistant.

Drive-thru… AI. It’s slower and less accurate than a person. Only upside, because it doesn’t have a budget mic from the 1980’s it’s clearer than a person.

Work… AI. Co-Pilot for VSCode, as a tool, it’s fine, get’s a lot wrong. But I had some upper manager claim they recreated DoorDash in like 5 minutes with AI (clearly they didn’t). We just had a recent wave of layoffs (I survived). But they are monitoring AI usage to ensure we use enough per month…

News?.. AI. Both good or bad news about it, I’m just so fucking sick of the exact same things. Trump, AI, Trump, AI, Trump, AI… that’s all it is, all the time. Just how both are fucking everyone.

Why? Because YT’s automation process is so regularly crap I assume it might work.

I can’t speak to guidelines, as I don’t regularly read those. But the “crying girl” AI that’s drop shipping things, or the AI girl talking about sex (in a non educational space), (and there’s more) and they all have links to external pages… feels like at best right now it’s exploiting a gray area. Some are just AI where they create situations for views, which, meh. But they’re not clearly labeled as “this is AI, this is fake, this is for entertainment only”. Not to use a slipper slope argument, but once it gets to the point it’s hard for people to quickly see it’s AI, this could easily (and pretty sure it’s already happened) be used to fake situations and get people riled up about literally nothing. Like we could start seeing videos of fake police violence. Which does nobody any good.

I would love to know how AI, which just steals and shares info doesn’t violate HIPPA. Do they just append “and please don’t share this data.” and hope it works?

I report those. I hope the automated systems just takes those channels down.

I mean true in some cases maybe. But literally every company is looking to find ways to make the imaginary number in the stock market go up. Which means outsourcing jobs to places like India or Southeast Asia (and exploiting them), for ‘contractors,’ and then probably equipping them with AI so they can actually do something.

How McDonald’s spent who knows how much money to put in different drive-thru speakers. They’ve tried multiple times to use call centers out of India so they don’t have to pay someone local. I’ve lost count of how many different drive-throughs I’ve gone through and just got an AI agent taking my order. They will literally use AI so they don’t have to pay somebody minimum wage.

Is the question why is it moving engine? Where’s the question why is unreal engine 6 coming out?

That game will never live up to the hype.

Kind of like Epic to be honest. They pay out the nose for exclusive rights, thinking shit today works like it did 20 years ago.
