Well not anymore

androogee ,

I'd be beside myself.

androogee ,

It's horror fanfiction in a shared universe.

It's just as mediocre and uneven as you might expect from that description, but the Internet acts like it's amazing as a joke or something I guess? Like the Star Wars prequels.

Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp (www.reuters.com)

Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company's plans.

Make it three, call it The Ellipsis

It's absolutely true, my friend. Only takes a minute.

Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser (www.windowslatest.com)

Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....

How many ai "improvements" do you think are based on ideas generated by ai at this point?

The answer is definitely not zero. Which is pretty fuckin weird, the more I think about it.

androogee ,

Like after the holocaust?

androogee ,

Pretrol can still get you pregnant

androogee ,

Playing hide and seek with kids when you just want a moments peace, picking up a throw pillow off the couch and looking under that, "gosh I just can't find a single kid and I'm looking so hard"

Hammer is a no-holds-barred private investigator whose love for his secretary Velda is outweighed only by his willingness to kill a killer.

When the blurb writer from the back of the books realizes he can just edit directly to Wikipedia lmao

Oh I just watched an episode of fuckin Columbo where the titular detective encouraged a beat cop to make an illegal search, and if it was a problem he would "get a warrant later."

And that's every single cop show. That's so much scarier to me. That the common, every day, "likeable" "good guy" cop characters are constantly violating suspects' rights, and it's always presented as justified.

It's so common and consistent that I think a lot of people just think of it as being part of a cop's job, and that "rights" are in opposition to justice rather than a part of it. Including a lot of cops. It's really fucked.

You know who was never ever called r-??? The kids with learning disabilities.

The x key on my keyboard just flew off into the sun, I pressed it so hard.

I've heard that some versions of the Blockchain are not based on computing power and therefore are not nearly as awful re: emissions. But I don't really know much about it so I decided to look into Odysee.

Instead I found out all about how the company that created the protocol was blasted out of existence by the SEC for selling unregistered securities & the website is full of Nazis because they don't do anything about fucking Nazis.

Never did reach a conclusion about the blockchain thing. Kinda stopped caring. Sounds like a clusterfuck.

androogee ,

Just pretend like the anti-consumer and anti-creator criticisms aren't there. They can't hurt you if you just don't acknowledge that they exist.

I said ooh girl! //
I'm dancing like an electric fool //
Baby girl //
Turn me on with your electric rool

The swedish chef falling off a cliff

androogee ,

Dave is making money. Don’t blame him.

Tf kinda brain dead excuse is this?

Acting immorally is okay if you're making money?

This is truly mind-obliterating stupidity.

androogee ,

Did you miss the defederated part?

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

androogee ,

No no they've got a point. Everyone knows that the invisible hand of the free market and the invisible hand of the replenishing water table just reach out, shake hands, and agree to work it all out.

androogee ,

Look my wife is gonna dispute that charge.

androogee ,

Look I'm a millennial; if I'm gonna drink fast food lemonade it's gonna be the stuff from Panera that might kill me, and that's (hopefully) final

androogee ,

Uncle Ben can help

Those weirdos, I thought everyone knew by now that she's Alanis Morrisette

androogee , (edited )

How many people got in early, made some money, lost it all getting scammed or just making bad choices, and will spend the rest of their lives chasing that dragon? How many drunks are at some bar right now talking about how much money they could have made if they had waited to sell, or how much their nft portfolio is gonna be worth when the market rebounds?

androogee ,

Cheetos Puffs Souffle?

The fuck?

androogee ,

I appreciate the info, but it's too late. I've got a baking atrocity to commit.

androogee , (edited )

Read the article, that's literally the first thing they explain

Besides which, it's very obviously a train if you just look at it. It's a small monorail train specifically designed for this purpose using existing infrastructure.

People are never fucking happy.

androogee ,

"good"

androogee ,

Or preferably, don't.

androogee ,

"boobs big tits heavy chesticles smothering me to death"

Nice

androogee ,

Next quarter doesn't exist right now, so Meta truly doesn't give a shit.

androogee ,

Completely agree with your broader points, and I know it's kinda nitpicky but

an American Dream success story

Dis lady hella British.

Gotta get to 99 so we can all play Tetris

androogee ,

Okay but what if that can of beans can suck its own dick?

androogee ,

If you consider how Florida actually enforces its laws, I think what you’ll find its actually really awful.

And like everything that a Republican does, despite claims to "protect children" or "uphold family values" or want "small government", the only actual effect will be massive government overreach into private homes and lives.

androogee ,

For those who actually don't understand: Trump openly started that he's gonna build internment camps for them.

So that's cool.

Just a little concentration camp as a snack.

androogee ,

Either way you're at a party with Stalin

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I've enjoyed Mark Rober's videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn't sitting right with me...

androogee ,

Oh, great! What are the terms of your guarantee?

androogee ,

We don't even know if it won lmao

androogee ,

Oh I'm not a fan.

It just seems a bit early to declare Skynet a fulfilled prediction haha.

androogee ,

You're the only one acting upset

androogee ,

Only you're allowed to do that, huh?

androogee ,

It hurt itself in its confusion

androogee ,

The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland
