Always have been, apparently

kat_angstrom ,

Great deal. Thanks, marketing!

kat_angstrom ,

Yeah, this has definitely happened before, we just don't hear about it in the news. I am personally aware of a Canadian non-profit whose Google accounts were nuked with no notice or explanation last year, leading to massive disruptions for 150 staff and even more clients. They never found out why, and had to restore from backups onto a brand new Google business account

This helps nobody, and whoever thinks it's a good idea needs better time management skills.

Most of the VPs in my local Corpo are all politicians. They speak in buzzwords and value hearing themselves speak over hearing any feedback from people lower than them in the hierarchy. The disconnection between upper management and everyone else is greater than it's ever been and it's only getting worse.

If it's like a lot of other tech companies, likely this was posted in a questions thread during a large meeting, and while everyone can see the questions being posed, Execs pick and choose which questions they're interested in answering, ignoring the ones they don't like. It's a good way of determining employee morale while avoiding all accountability.

But what percentage of fake birds are real fake birds?

I've never heard of anyone screaming because they had to scan their own groceries at a self-checkout. Is this a common thing?

What if that food is extremely well-balanced in terms of nutrients?

For consumers, "enshitification" is a reminder of how things get worse. For companies, apparently it's a delightfully new lower bar to aspire to. This is some Darkest Timeline kinda BS

kat_angstrom ,

Ewwwwwwww

kat_angstrom ,

It's simple, then:

We ban ads. All ads, everywhere.

Kids + Culture aren't always a good combination, I know my brother and I hated the cultural things we were told and taught up until our early teens when we started to understand it's important.

Might have to wait a few more years before she'll actually start to understand why it's important to you.

kat_angstrom ,

I have never seen this before, until meow

kat_angstrom ,

See, it's intellectually dishonest conversations like these that make me completely uninterested in engaging with anyone's LLM for any reason.

kat_angstrom ,

Sooooo stupid

kat_angstrom ,

You are succeeding

As someone who's been learning the flute since October, I resemble this remark.

ALSO, for those who think transactionally and can't understand why, I tout the brain benefits of learning musical instruments, especially as The Brain ages

Google suspends Gemini from making AI images of people after a backlash complaining it was 'woke' (www.businessinsider.com)

Google suspends Gemini from making AI images of people after a backlash complaining it was 'woke'::After users complained Google's Gemini had gone "woke," the company said it will pause the image-generating feature of people while working on fixes.

Corporations like Google are literally unjust power structures, and when they do DEI, they update the aesthetics of the corporation such that they can get credit for being inclusive but without addressing the problem itself.

Absolutely, 100% on the nose. And this needs to be a conversation on a civilizational level before income inequality spirals further out of control and our society devolves into chaos. Corpos like Google are so busy pretending that they're addressing problems that the larger issues affecting people aren't being talked about at all.

kat_angstrom ,

Op, are you trying to imply that only peasants wash their hands after using the bathroom? I'm so confused.

kat_angstrom ,

When outrage is the prime driver of engagement it's going to push some people right off the platform entirely, and the ones who stay are psychologically worse off for it.

kat_angstrom ,

Worth it for them, for short term profits. Good thing nobody is considering the net effect this has on society or political discourse.
