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.

For me, it’s the way better warranty. Granted, most of these companies aren’t what they used to be.

This is so accurate. And, I had “friends” back in high school, who were very much into meth and very much into sharing.

But every single big meeting at work, is just about AI. it’s just a sales pitch, nothing specific. One of the senior managers emails multiple times a week about fake “wins” due to AI. How, because of AI, some random API is now 4x better! (He doesn’t know what API is…) When I teams opens up, it’s just “AI Bootcamps” plastered everywhere. The intranet homepage, 3 of the 5 things on the carousel is just AI. Multiple “demo days” have just been people showing how they’ve been fucking around in AI and not doing work.

Someone in mgmt, has made it a goal for more AI usage. Put teams on blast who weren’t “using it enough”. Fake metrics of how much good code it’s generated (with no actual examples of course). And yeah, now they’re tracking usage to ensure we get enough AI “touches” a month. They’re monitoring our badge-in (due to RTO) and now they’re monitoring AI adoption and usage.

But just ignore the massive outsourcing to India/SEA… no need to worry about that.

I’d say probably. But would be very sad in how little we ride bike now (used to be all the time, year round, rain, snow, or sunshine). But we’re not yelled at every single day! Got a good job that even teenager me would think is cool.

This looks like the same person at different ages to me. Like give a little leeway for like makeup department, lighting, and camera.

The first seems reasonable, until the reasoning is given, which reveals the whole message is batshit

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Like, expressing yourself to someone you’re dating, like “This made me uncomfortable,” generally should be ok. This proved to be the exception.

someone getting upset at being told they are lucky to be with the person they are with is kinda full of themselves and reading way too much into it

Well, what if the bartender was being a piece of shit, say someone who has cerebral palsy, saying they’re even lucky to be with someone… Would you still say that person is full of themselves? I think telling anyone they’re “lucky” to be with someone, from an outside perspective, is intentionally demeaning to one of the two people. Now, if someone in a relationship says they feel lucky to have found someone, that’s different. But clearly, it’s open to interpretation. And changes in context.

Little personal story to add, I dated a girl a while back, and ALL her friends and co-workers would say how lucky she was and how good I was for her. We all knew why, she was overweight and I wasn’t. They didn’t even just hint and maybe I read that wrong, they were BLUNT about it. I was doing home cooking for us instead of doing fast food. I worked out, did 5k races, I was in great shape. And I was exposing her to that life and she was noticeably losing weight. But the look on her face when people said “she was lucky”, was defeat.

My mom regularly got after me to make my bed. I never saw the point. I’m wasting my time to make it look neat… for no one, only for me to mess it up the following night. I didn’t see the point then, I don’t see the point now.

So my solution to not getting yelled at. I stopped sleeping under the covers. I just slept on top. For a while, she thought I was making my bed, but eventually I wore out a spot on the top of the comforter. That’s when she figured it out. Then she was made I wasn’t using the blankets for their intended use (to keep someone warm). I as a child, would rather freeze than make the damn bed.

People are way to fragile today I feel. When I was a kid, I watched this with my parents. It was perfectly fine then and it should be now.

Fucking christ, I was hoping this was a joke. Nope, fucking scalped soup on eBay. I hope scalpers stub the same toe every morning. Scalping is not a job, scalping is not part of the process, scalping just makes everything worse for everyone.
