I actually kinda like those things.

Hammond had one on his car in the new Prime special Sand Job.

American companies avoiding taxes by apparently existing entirely in foreign PO Boxes.

SinningStromgald ,

I guess those who just have to be on the bleeding edge of tech trust AI to some degree.

Never trusted it myself, lived through enough bubbles to see one forming and AI is a bubble.

SinningStromgald ,

Sucks to be an iOS developer. Apple will never give up it's 30% of your money. EVER.

SinningStromgald ,

Haven't some instances started blocking VPN traffic after the CSAM incident(s)?

SinningStromgald ,

Apple will never live down the case wheels. Ever.

It is one of the driving forces behind RTO. There is no small amount of worry over a total collapse of the commercial real estate market. When large companies announce RTO it helps keep the commercial real estate market going.

Counter point to that is that companies that force RTO end up loosing the good employees who actually liked remote work. So the real estate is "saved" and they get a "free" layoff with no severance payouts but the company gets a brain drain.

Companies, currently, are viewing this as a net positive.

Fanfiction Community Rocked By Etsy Sellers Turning Their Work Into Bound Books (www.404media.co)

Etsy sellers are turning free fanfiction into printed and bound physical books, and listing them for sale on online marketplaces for more than $100 per book. It’s a problem that’s rattling the authors of those fanfics, as well as their fans and readers....

Better yet get her to sign a copy of
The Legend of Rah and the Muggles

It's what some say Rowling openly stole the entire idea for Harry Potter from.

Yes and he has no intention of upsetting police unions or intelligence agencies. The pipe dream shall live on.

And from what I understand they haven't even gotten close to what third party apps had done for mod tools or accessibility.

    Alabama IVF ruling: Embryo shipping services to halt business in Alabama after ruling deems embryos ‘children’, three fertility clinics pause services in state (www.theguardian.com)

    Alabama IVF ruling: Embryo shipping services to halt business in Alabama after ruling deems embryos ‘children’, three fertility clinics pause services in state::Nationwide services say they will cease transporting embryos in and out of state following court decision deeming them ‘children’

    SinningStromgald ,

    Certainly seems like Alabama just killed any IVF industry they had in the state. No one is gonna run a business on a handshake or a wink.

    Korea slaps $327,067 fine on Twitch for suspending service (www.koreatimes.co.kr)

    Korea slaps $327,067 fine on Twitch for suspending service::The Korean telecommunications watchdog said Friday it has slapped a fine of 435 million won ($327,067) on the U.S. live video streaming platform Twitch, which suspended its video-on-demand (VOD) service in the country last year.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Yes they are. Confirms such at the end of the article.

    SinningStromgald ,

    To the shame corner with them!

    SinningStromgald ,

    Don't need a study for anyone with a brain to know this.

    SinningStromgald ,

    I hope they short it into oblivion and make all the tendies in the world.

    Didn't the president of the UAW say Tesla workers were on his list to unionize?

    SinningStromgald ,

    Sounds like something a cat would say.

    Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' (www.404media.co)

    Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early...

    SinningStromgald ,

    “we are in the early stages of monetizing our user base,”

    If anyone on Reddit reads that and stays there willingly they are an idiot. Not they weren't idiots for staying after the API changes but now they are even bigger idiots.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Weirdly it comes up with a picture of me. Strange.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Money, it is all about money.

    SinningStromgald ,

    And nowadays there is no "the best" because no phone on the market has all the best features so many users want.

    SinningStromgald ,

    OR they could just scrape info from the "aska____" subreddits and hope and pray it's all good. Plus that is like 1/100th the work.

    The racism, homophobia and conspiracy levels of AI are going to rise significantly scraping Reddit.

    SinningStromgald ,

    All the policies I have seen provide X amount of time per year for parental/maternal leave not per child.

    SinningStromgald ,

    But then the headline would have to say "Scientists Develop Optical Disc with measly 125TB's of Storage"

    SinningStromgald ,

    Garbage in, garbage out.

    SinningStromgald ,

    All RTO mandates have stealth layoffs as a key positive reason to do them.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Guess they don't think their readership is smart enough to know what a "sock puppet" or "puppet" account is.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Good thing I'm not on that shitty platform anymore.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Like what? A customer management system? Accounting?

    Are there any genuine benefits to AI?

    I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting,, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something...

    SinningStromgald ,

    No no you found the actual "use" for AI as far as businesses go. They don't care about the human cost of adopting AI and firing large swaths of workers just profits.

    Which is why governments should be quickly moving to highly regulate AI and it's uses. But governments are slow plodding things full of old people who get confused with toasters.

    As always capitalism kills.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Satanic reptile shapshifters ruling the earth confirmed.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Nope just a beautiful sturdy dome clearly. Nothing bubble like about this at all.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Dude couldn't even afford a good password with his $90k in fake money. What a mook.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Wow, even Nature is becoming a corporate shill monkey. Seriously sad times we live in.

    SinningStromgald ,

    They will add someone who's job it is to click okay to every decision the AI makes. Therefore the AI isn't making a decision the human always clicking okay is.

    SinningStromgald ,

    Please God no.

    SinningStromgald ,

    The traded one fake currency for another then realized that was a really dumb idea. Like betting your life savings every day on black or red at the roulette table as a retirement plan. So of course they are butthurt.

    SinningStromgald ,

    What's the alternative? Lottery tickets? Stuff cash under your mattress? Its a ll fake and sucks.

    SinningStromgald ,

    A religion is a good way to make money. Good thinking!

    SinningStromgald ,

    Oh no...anyways...

    SinningStromgald ,

    You probably need to get in line, at least behind me because if anyone gets to get off this carnival ride from hell early it's me.

    SinningStromgald ,

    At the very least a PR person.

    SinningStromgald ,

    So, lawsuit against Bloomberg incoming?

    SinningStromgald ,

    Recently had a "incident" when I found out one of my doctors didn't have email and I needed to get a form to them to complete and send back before another different doctors appointment. Normally I'd just sigh and drive back but this doctors office would have been another 1hr round trip.

    Ended up signing up for a free efax trial then worrying all day as I didn't get the form back. Call in the morning and they had decided to just fax it to the other doctor for me, and did so shortly after they received the form, but didn't think it important to tell me. Murder definitely crossed my mind a few times that day.

    Or the wonderful story Harlan Ellison "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream".
