He's a troll. It's like a bot, but lower tech.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Why would the back of your phone be made of glass? Lol, wtf?

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

RampantParanoia2365 ,

But they're actually producing good stuff lately. I've watched more Netflix originals this year than I have in the past 10.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

There's a thrift store near me called Saver's, and it's stocked by donations to Big Brother. I have no doubt this would have gone into the store if they received it.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Can confirm, it's still the top result under the sponsors. And it's an amusing read.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

...............
.............................No.

The last 3 bands I've taken a shining to - The Pretty Reckless, Coheed and Cambria, and Set it Off - all have a lot of great stuff.

She does. I really think she has one of the finest voices in a long time, especially for her age. And yeah, I saw them pretty recently. Just as good live.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Guess I'm an antisemitic jew, then. Obviously that makes no fucking sense, but here we are.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

My parents have a very reflective glass window straight ahead of their front door. Every time my dog walks in, straight to the window to bark at it.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Well you could not connect it to the internet...

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Ok, well personally, I've never seen an open network near my house, so if I cared that much, it would work for mine.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Do these show up as networks on devices, or are they kind of hidden? I've looked before and never seen any open wifi around my house, but I am near a mall and lots of shopping.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Leather doesn't melt. You put a vinyl glove in an oven.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

How is a left turn signal pointing right pretty neat?

RampantParanoia2365 ,

It's just confusing, especially with the split second decision making involved in driving 2 ton objects at high speeds. It's terrible design.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Tbf, I grew up in the 90s, and I know plenty of Nirvana. One time someone noticed my Nirvana shirt and asked my favorite song. I totally blanked on everything except Teen Spirit and....Rape Me.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Yeah, agreed. I honestly have no idea what my "favorite song" is. I think I'd have to say something like Ruby Soho if I'm being honest.

The BBC Won't Use AI to Promote Doctor Who Again After Being Yelled at by Fans (gizmodo.com)

The backlash was immediate, but it didn’t stop the BBC from using text generated by LLMs—and purportedly checked and copy-edited by a human before approval—in two marketing emails and mobile push notifications to advertise Doctor Who. But now, the corporation will stop the experimentation entirely after a wave of official...

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Backlash over marketing....emails and texts? Y'all are trolling me, right?

Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in (www.engadget.com)

If you're in the US, you might see a new shaded section at the top of your Google Search results with a summary answering your inquiry, along with links for more information. That section, generated by Google's generative AI technology, used to appear only if you've opted into the Search Generative Experience(SGE) in the Search...

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Almost every time I ask a direct question, the two AI answers almost always directly contradict each other. Yesterday I asked if vinegar cuts grease. I received explanations for both why its an excellent grease cutter, and why it doesn't because it's an acid.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

There's a comic about Chief O'Brien and the face is clearly a little too small for the head.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

I loved how Massive Talent culminated in Cage using his pistols from Face Off.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Hmm, article seems to be broken? The picture of the ad format is missing.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Why did you decide to change the title and then stop halfway through?

Amazon's Hidden Chatbot Recommends Nazi Books and Lies About Amazon Working Conditions (www.404media.co)

An Amazon chatbot that’s supposed to surface useful information from customer reviews of specific products will also recommend a variety of racist books, lie about working conditions at Amazon, and write a cover letter for a job application with entirely made up work experience when asked, 404 Media has found.

My coffee maker makes coffee that is fresh and hot. So does my local shop. It still doesn't literally melt my skin if some gets on my hand. Dumbfuck.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Of course it's healthier. Did you put 40 sugar cubes in your cup of tea? Probably not.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

I don't understand why a wooden ark would melt like sugar under any circumstances.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

What does that even mean? Is it from the future?

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Don't be ridiculous. You can't sleep in a VR headset. I can't even sleep with a watch on.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

...who gets taught how to do dishes lol. You take a dish, and place it in the logical spot. It's not advanced physics.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Do you really think we're at I, Robot levels of AI right now?

I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...

RampantParanoia2365 ,

I really don't understand why you find this surprising. We're you expecting like...42% of all that to be saved?

RampantParanoia2365 ,

That's very true. But not really by the time Android started.
