would have been more useful when you had any kind of power to get a bill passed, but thanks anyway i guess

these exist, see speed queen

the cost is going to be higher, though, because "smart" widgets can offset their initial costs through the projeted sale of the data harvested over the life of the widget

most people being ignorant to this and to the inevitable issues with corporate-built "smart" widget infrastructure, the cheapest option will generally be the most popular

my inner doctorow says that the twiddlers did this on purpose to undermine competition, especially considering the attempts to keep those widgets from being liberated

I agree, but i aint gonna stow it. Why didnt they introduce it when they were able to maybe pass it? Im not going to refrain from criticizing them just because worse people are in power.

back to reddit with this slop

werent they telling their employees to use AI for their performance reviews?

Orange harvests have been getting smaller and smaller in Florida due to citrus greening disease, which has more than likely been ignored on purpose in order to allow increased real estate development. I say this because I remember reading about how Florida is getting hit really hard but other citrus growing regions are not. I might be wrong about this.

I've never seen California bananas, but also never any Florida bananas, generally they're from central and south america. I assume they are imported from there because of exploitative labor conditions.

sick burn, hign five

you must have like 14 houses by now

why is your comment written this way?

dont blame the anti-slop crowd for the problems created by the stupid jerks destroying our only livable planet for profit

it's OUR fault that the dogshit that is getting plastered everywhere is causing a backlash?

unpopular for sure, despite its thoughtlessness, have an upvote

There will be the concept of a plan in two weeks, infrastructure week!

Why? I like how lemmy is now, why would we want to bring the people here that can't find their own way?

a common thing people with autism and adhd is auditory processing issues, so it could work auditorily for them.

i said it out loud in a few different ways and it sounded the same to me, but it could be a regional thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've heard it referred to as spicy autocomplete and also next word extruder

Who decides that the woman's life is at-risk enough to qualify as necessary? A panel of priests? The election police? A healthcare provider? The person whose life is on the line?

This seems to be the state health agencies clarifying the current rules. Not ideal, but hopefully only temporary until this law becomes unconstitutional.

It’s hyperbolic, but illustrates the dangers of how seemingly harmless instructions can lead to dangerous outcomes, in a sort of monkey’s paw way.

Is it just me, or is this proof that it's NOT hyperbolic? This is exactly the paperclip maximizer scenario.

I'm not trying to discourage you, I think projects like this should exist.

That said, there's a lot of other things that do this as well. Off the top of my head there's python -m http.server that i've used to quickly make a directory available to other machines on the lan.

ai dogshit

great job helping them destroy our planet

hopefully you'll get your reward sooner rather than later
