I love how this frame captured them both so well. If you look into the candidate's eyes you see frustration. If you look into the Fox drone's eyes, you see a big smiling face on an inflatable clown punching bag that's about to tilt back to the right.

It's like the "because double dog go fuck yourself" cherry on top of the layered parfait of redistribution of wealth in the wrong direction the years have given us.

However, if someone went to a phone store with a stock graphene on display and anything else next to it, which one do you think they'll choose?

Given the past couple years I'd like to think the fraction to choose graphene would be multiple times what it would have been 5-10 years ago. But not close to a majority.

Not again!

Damn you...

“How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

Spoken like a true sales/con artist. I can almost hear the brand guidelines poking through... Always mention safety before privacy, always treat safety as a given and privacy as the buffer zone in which to find compromise.

The compromise is how far each town chooses to go above security tier 0: emergencies with immediate threat to life or property.

• tier 0 is defined as covering 100% of law enforcement requests of all agencies with jurisdiction in the covered area.

I love seeing the variety in the takes on how bad "India hot" spice level is.

My limited anecdotal experience has landed my white ass firmly in the camp of "do not fuck with the flavors of back home."

My go-to core memory on that one is going out for wings with a group of friends a long time ago. We ordered a half dozen of whatever the place's ridiculous triple-atomic or equivalent was. I want to say 500,000 scoville and they give you gloves to eat it with. I think the deal was something like White Guy eats one of the wings and Indian Guy eats the rest, after the latter had claimed in a friendly way that they wouldn't be too hot.

Long story short, Indian Guy eats all available wings and licks his fingers like it's honey BBQ. He liked them and said yeah they do have some spice. White guy ruined the entire rest of his day and suffered for his hubris!

Most of the rest of us (I think all of us were additional White Guys) tried a tiny little piece of a wing or even just a half drop of the sauce. The spot where that little bit touched my tongue was numb and tingly for the rest of the day, lol.

Some people just shrug off that capsaicin.

I love this poster.

Unfortunately I think it was just as relevant well before the AI craze of the past few years. Plenty of shitty humans were happy to create psychologically manipulative algorithms that care only about engagement.

They will literally make arguments for affirmative action and reparations as long as the beneficiary is a rich corporation instead of a human in need.

Yeah it's less like something new and more like "Thank you, ancient me, for deciding it was always a good policy to go heavy on the RAM."

Oooh excuse me, b- but did your apt just brush up against my pacman?

Oh no, I will be sure to keep an eye out for these scary vandals invading my peaceful town over these next few days!

I mean, you never know when a passionate young person needs a "thumbs up" to brighten their day and boost their confidence.

And in case any of them want to step to me, I can threaten them with all the old power tools I have in my house that they could learn to use.

If we all work together and put our moves too it, we can prove to Michael that dreams CAN come true!

Today is the first day for our school district. It's weird to start on a Thursday, but at least the kids get a quick first weekend.

I took note of this story because now is exactly the time of year I would expect to see these stories. There have been months of summer vacation in which some number of these perv glasses will make their way into the hands of minors. So we get a spike early in the school year.

Even if generated images originally could be traced to the training data, I think that maybe just maybe the shady gigacorps would have some incentive to remove or obfuscate the copyright & IP violation paper trail from their trillion-dollar toys.

My eyes almost rolled all the way out of my head reading this article. The dude is from IRAN, and this blindsided them.

To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community, and he did not deserve this. And even if he was a scumbag, we don't use secret police to deal with scumbags.

But sometimes it hurts to have the depth of some people's oblivious ignorance revealed so starkly. Some other comments have already pointed out the stupid "golly I think there might be bad people on the left AND the right!" conclusion at the end of the article. But here's another gem from in the middle:

“My husband himself, even being from Iran, supported Trump, his immigration policies, and understood he was trying to protect the American people and was praying he helped free the Iranian people,” Gardner told Newsweek.

These people look at an elderly hateful narcissist of a grifter and parasite, and hear his messages of hate and division and exclusion, and apparently the image formed in their dusty brains is Captain Fucking Planet!

Premeditated whataboutism. Because that’s a great use of resources to benefit the country.

Hello, friends in civilized lands, especially those of you who work at financial institutions...

Some of us in the states are excited to watch you do some damage to the entrenched middlemen that have been skimming from all of us for so long. Please do consider letting us sign up for the new stuff. Our money is still worth something, for now!

Notice the implied and unquestioned assumption that “life goals” means accumulating resources and not building relationships or contributing to society. In fact, it’s expected that personal relationships and societal responsibilities shall be neglected in the quest for resources.

Too bad there had to be an argument or disagreement…

…about whether the victim(s) crying over their dead dog in front of their burned down house deserved to live?

I wonder what the chances are that the fire, the dog skull, and the murder were all the same shithead.

Wow, this is really impressive y'all!

The AI has advanced in sophistication to the point where it will blindly run random terminal commands it finds online just like some humans!

I wonder if it knows how to remove the french language package.
