It would be a shame if someone posted the article about David Zaslav that GQ magazine apparently pulled shortly after publication this morning
It’d be a shame if someone provided context to this so it made sense.

you mentioned the name of the movie as an issue; to be clear, you didn’t take the article title to mean the movie is named “Jewface”, did you?

Cruise robotaxi collides with fire truck in San Francisco, leaving one injured
I’ve had my entire career working within industrial automation and I see the value AI and automated efforts being to the world.
I do not see the value in allowing private companies to playtest autonomous driving with human life as a potential collateral.
The argument keeps getting made — “how many humans make that same mistake daily?” — and it’s not equivocal; if autonomous vehicles cannot reach a 100% safety and accuracy feature, they should not be allowed to risk human lives.

Lemmy.world Hexbear Statement
Not a big fan of cherry-picking posts and comments to pre-emptively defederate because of opposing ideals.
This opinion comes from knowing nothing at all about hexbear prior to this post.

Most of My Instagram Ads Are for Drugs, Stolen Credit Cards, Hacked Accounts, Counterfeit Money, and Weapons
Similarly, my YouTube shorts are filled with gambling videos and “get rich quick scheme” videos. Seems as though “do not recommend channel” blocks the channel but assumes you have some growing interest in the topic.
I just want to watch woodworking shorts and plumbing videos T_T

‘I Like Turtles’ Zombie Kid Is Brought Back From The Dead After 16 Years By Paramount To Promote Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
Well no wonder the studios can’t afford to pay their writers, necromancy is extremely expensive.

Politics was my first blocked community on Lemmy. Then every other US politics community that has sprung up. They’re either echo chambers or flame wars and it’s irritating to use the internet as an escapism and run into arguments daily.

Reddit demands moderators remove NSFW labels, or else

I didn’t remove myself as a moderator for the two subs I mod, but I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo shut down. I use my phone a heck of a lot less these days lol

I’m dying with the lack of baseball communication. The biggest Baseball and Atlanta Braves communities are pretty much dead and I really miss talking ball.

Human connection takes effort, regardless of if it’s a romantic relationship or a friendship. Part of growth as a person is identifying and establishing boundaries, learning respect and attention to others without self-sacrifice, and being aware of your own choices and actions and the impact it has on others.
It’s always worth it for people, but people aren’t always willing to put in the work on themselves to be able to create thriving and healthy relationships, so they turn to some easy button or they take the route that relations “just aren’t worth it”.

ULPT: Using Teams and want to stop your status from going Idle? Start a meeting using “Meet now” on teams and change your status to Available.
Not a great tip; as managers, we can see the activity of direct reports, and being in long meetings with no attendees is a dead giveaway.

Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later.
thats the thing I hate about ChatGPT. I asked it last night to name me all inventors named Albert born in the 1800’s. It listed Albert Einstein (inventor isn’t the correct description) and Albert King. I asked what Albert King invented and it responded “Albert King did not invent anything, but he founded the King Radio Company”.
When I asked why it listed Albert King as an inventor in the previous response, if he had no inventions, it responded telling me that based on the criteria I am now providing, it wouldn’t have listed him.
Fucking gaslighting me.

Lemmy.world: why not focus on stability instead of growth?
From my understanding, the stability issues drive from repeated DDoS attacks. I’m not sure locking new membership solves that problem but does run the risk of starving new members from joining and risking a shrinkage of content.
I’m sure the admins are focused on more than one thing at a time and closing the site doesn’t seem like it makes a whole lot of sense.

How to find moderators for a community?
Typically, especially in early communities, you just open a public post asking for moderators and come up with some level of criteria for selection. Ask them to submit an “application” through DM or publicly with their previous experience, engagement with the community (for example, if it’s a local community for a town, ask them if they live in the town, how long they have lived there, etc.), and their availability to moderate (1hr a day? Always online? Every couple days?)
In the infancy of a community, it’s more likely you’ll find people who are engaged as hobbyists or passionate about the thing, then as time goes on you run the risk of new applicants being “power hungry”.

Tonight I decided to try jack-in-the-box for the first time...
I mean, it’s not great, but it’s not that awful. Pretty good for ending a night out and it’s cheap.
Is Wendy’s better? Yes, but go to a Wendy’s at 2am trying to gullet a Dave’s Double and you’re going to be sick. Jack has burgers that won’t upset your stomach and don’t sit as heavy.

Haha, that’s great.
Coincidentally, if they did a Bradley Cooper movie named “Jewface”, people would be angrier about the title than they are his appearance.

What are some great hobbies for an introvert?
Woodworking is a nice hobby if you have the space for it. You can just chill out listening to tunes, drilling and planing, with no real involvement with others.

RaspberryPi NAS problems be like
I’ve never relayed to a meme more. I moved my UPS to my work computer after that one failed and three days later, I lost power. Spent five hours fixing a corrupted SD card then reconfiguring my Pi-Hole and HomeBridge.
