Pretty much my problem. The salesman is telling the carpenter how to do their craft. And the boss goes along with it because its more profitable to say you're using a hammer than it is to actually build and fix stuff.

It'd be deliberate corporate sabotage if I didn't believe they were so stupid.

Thousands of people needing to solve the same problem over and over is inefficient

Sure, we have a name for that: Not-invented-Here (NIH) Syndrome. AI is not solving that Inefficiency.

Or start applying proven solution

Let me know when you find them, please.

The post is real. I think they Ai slop was just a weird censorship technique.

Now, whether or not the users on Reddit are bots getting freaky on main is a different question altogether...

anyways, freeuse is kinda what it says on the tin. "Free" to "use" the person wherever, whenever. if they're relaxig in bed, while they are doing the dishes, outside gardening the plants,, while asleep. Usually has some overlap with the ignoring kink where they try to just go about their day and pretend they aren't being railed ruthlessly.

The cruelty is the point. They'll say a homeless person doesn't deserve a fee hundred bucks a month to get back on their feet, but they'll spend 100 grand a year per person to make them more miserable. It's just good job security (and satisfaction) for the police unions.

Man, I'm a laid off dev too. You really should know by now how scrutinous people are about AI anything.

You're not even getting the 100 dollar monthly payments off steam. Forget "just use google translate like pre-AI", why not just focus on one language and look into localization later if this game catches on? Now instead all languages will be scanning your game with a fine-toothed comb.

This was never a serious case to begin with. The cruelty and the process was the point, not any hope this Olympian would see serious time.

Slop implies bare bones, generic, repetitive design, and thrown together quick. Say what you want about Zelda, but it has never been any of those.

Why did we reduce our 3rd places to loud rowdy bars or religious institutions? We couldn't get a slightly louder version of a library to hang out in, with some electronics to connect to?

Really makes me miss my university library. It had 5 floors and the first 2 floors werre more social collaborative ones. Even had a Cafe. People who wanted to deeply focus go to the 4th/5th floor where it's dead quiet.

The Black Panthers did more to advance gun control laws than any "radical left hippie kumbaya" ever did. Let minorities have the same freedoms and suddenly things need to be toned down for everybody.

only became a problem because Meta made them

Anyone who remember "glassholes" knows this isn't new. Wearing a camera on your literal eyes is still a step too far in this otherwise compromised world.

But yes, I think the big issue here, as others pointed out, has to do with the nature of the company producing them. That'd be especially important for a place like DEFCON, which is all about securing your data.

for reasons I choose not to understand

TBF Dolly probably could have. Dolly doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd care about that, though. And you have to remember her husband passed less than 2 years ago at 82YO.

I'm sure Kash will get right to investigating this after releasing the Epstein files.

But yes, I get it. We'd be hearing about this for the next 2.5 years if this was Biden.

For those who do not know history; it was once a huge scandal for Clinton to be seen talking with the AG. 16 years after he was president. Those so concerned about "her emails" would know this well.

And that's not even going into "Nannygate" if you want a small rabbit hole to go down. A very tame controversy that would be cast off as a "nothing burger" today as I'm sure Trump's cabinet have had controversies every other day at this point.

This is all to say that: no, this is not normal. It is not normal for the DoJ to be so closely affiliated with the executive branch. And watch the hypocrisy when the US magically rememberes this after Trump leaves.

a video shared on social media showed him having sex with a 17-year-old girl.

Even if he just turned 18 (and there are Romeo and Juliet laws protecting that), that is such a profoundly stupid idea. It's already crass sharing it with a few friends, but you posted it online? Idiot.

I don't hate tech. But we are definitely in time of techno robber barons who have long drained any benefit of the doubt. Meta especially deserves no grace.

There's a clear disctinction these days bewteen "Tech" and "Big Tech™️". This is firmly in the latter.

He's been a shit head for so long that 90's films called it out. I'm sure I can find SNL skits older than I am taking the piss out of him.

... yup. 1988.

Google had a special deal to scrape Reddit's data right? That might carve out some special exceptions.

BTW, hello. I tried the fediverse out around 2022 through kbin (which seems to be dead?) then drifted off. Haven't had a reddit account since 2023 (and my mains were deleted around 2020), but I swore I'd force myself off Reddit when old.reddit. I guess that time is now.
