ICE accused of heartbreaking animal abuse after 'locking dogs in apartment for days' while deporting owner
Reply in thread
I've read the writers of John Wick introduced the dog as the plot motivator because just having his wife killed wasn't emotionally investing enough for audiences to "justify" (or buy into) the revenge rampage. The dog did a better job at immediately establishing the villians as irredeemably monstrous.
There's something about the innocence of animals that sets people off big time.

They're arresting people who just stopped and touched a piece to inspect it.
He has also designed boats, paddles and other waterproof products, and said he was curious about what materials had been used to paint the pool. The 67-year-old said he only touched the material briefly before he was told by one of the park service workers helping to clean the algae from the pool to stop.

How many Republicans does it take to change a lightbulb?
They won't just cheer, they'll insist that you cheer with them and recognize it's the brightest bulb in the brightest room anyone has seen, probably ever. If you don't agree, deported for being a satanic homosexual antifa terrorist.

‘We created a monster’: companies rein in AI usage as costs strain budgets — Amazon, Walmart and Uber are among early adopters that have introduced caps or discouraged wasteful activity
Reply in thread
I know a company that burned $100k in tokens after they they let like 50 worker bees using general AI for OCR, simply converting images and PDFs to text.
They didn't bother to create a skill, or teach the AI how to reuse a shared script so every request resulted in it writing a new python project, pulling libraries, using a frontier model rather than offloading a dumb one etc.
Basically find a business process that happens often and let em at it inefficiently, it'll happily chew through the budget.

OCR libraries have undoubtedly improved but LLMs are using the same open source libraries and tools available to anyone... there's few cases where sending the work through general models is worth it for text conversion. Employees just needed a front end to upload, run something like tesseract behind the scenes, and spit out the result. It's an egregiously stupid use of resources.

Trump Announces Plan to Convert Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Into World’s Largest Indoor Ice Rink
Political analysts noted that many enthusiastic supporters have long avoided reflective surfaces altogether.
“You can’t spend years defending every terrible decision imaginable and still enjoy looking at yourself in a mirror,” observed one commentator.
Fuckin lol, that's an amazing setup. Hope the author got themselves a pat on the back.

I appreciate the candidness. Hopefully you can understand AI presentation generally implies an AI product, and without source code to audit, it raises some flags. Clarity of where AI is used as you've done here helps.

The public site is the first impression and introduction of a product, and this one has all sorts of slop signs around it. You can see how that can make someone skeptical to the quality of application. I don't agree "computers can do it better" - I'd prefer a plain old website that gets to the point over one showing useless graphics, generated text, and non-functional interactions.

You can at least admit the marketing site is AI, yes?

Asus bombards Windows 11 with christmas.exe malware-like Christmas wreath banner
When you turn on your PC and notice that there’s a huge Christmas banner on your desktop, do not panic – your device is not compromised.
Hah, well a vendor just pushed unapproved executable to the device and ran it without consent. Under any definition or other context it's definitely compromised.
