As a dirty American, we just borrow schadenfreude from German usually in my experience.

There are English phrases that approximate it - like “taking enjoyment in another’s misery” but not really a word, at least one I can think of.

Nah bruh it’s cool just run the same prompt again and again and again, surely sooner or later it will be right. In no way is it going to do the opposite and just keep degrading with each output reading from the last one.

Semi related - You know, honestly, all AI is showing me is how absolute bullshit so many jobs are that we have in the corpo world. Like, at some point we’re gonna have an AI write a thing for an AI to read and file and there will be a little loop and then what the hell is the point of the job in the first place if it’s just machines sending things back and forth that’s just business class white noise.

There’s nothing in the article about a call though.

That’s why I figured they probably were just walking their normal beat and ran across the snowball fight but hell if I know. It’s just, there’s so much shit going on all the time I doubt the NYPD would even dispatch cops to a call about a snowball fight.

Usually they just will be a part of it, it sounds like maybe there were some people being a little too aggressive or violent towards the cops but I mean also ACAB so maybe the cops are just being butthurt.

Honestly of all the places I’ve visited or lived I felt like the NYPD were the most professional and helpful cops. Which is pretty sad but the bar is real low.

You’re a silly person, aren’t ya.

Yeah fuck me for acknowledging AR glasses or other AR tech could be very useful but it’s being limited by our privacy concerns that are basically theater at this point.

Truly I am so cowardly Mr big internet man.

I’m just being realistic about the future. You already are carrying around a machine that’s listening and watching. You’re walking into and out of stores where you’re on camera. Hell you’re driving past however many cameras in your car or walking past them on the street, every business, every office, every space has cameras now.

Thus, I think eventually more and more augmented reality devices will be seen because people will come to appreciate their uses outside of just being recording devices once that concern is overcome. In other words, wearing AR glasses won’t get you default labeled as some perverted weirdo.

You don’t need to bend the knee but we’re past the point where there should be any expectation of privacy in public spaces. I’m not saying I like it, I’m saying I expect our society to continue to move towards a surveillance model where privacy simply cannot be expected in any public space.

Do I think it’s dystopian and bad, yes, yes I do. I also think we need strong privacy protections for our private domiciles. That doesn’t mean my opinion is aligned with what actually is going to happen in our world.

I don’t want it but it’s what is going to happen and has been happening.

It’s Washington Square Park, it’s possible that nobody called them - cops are just normally around there.

The truth is that we already are living in the surveillance state and people are just going to have to “get over” being recorded in public by anyone that walks by.

I don’t like it either. But that’s the reality we’re entering into, where privacy isn’t a right but a privilege and that privilege does not exist save for some very select (if any at this point) places like your home … Maybe.

Literally all the ordering for stores uses the internet now; we’d be absolutely fucked for a good while if the internet actually went down in the USA.

Ok … So you’re mad I said you’re not a Libertarian and now you’re just explaining how you’re not a Libertarian?

Yeah … I know someone else already said this but you’re absolutely not a Libertarian. So, good news, you can throw that box out and realign your language.

Also, I get that it’s a talking point but I think everyone believes in a fiscally responsible government. It’s just some weird right wing double think trick people say to imply the other side does not want that when in reality the Dems (if we’re framing this through an American lens) want fiscal responsibility just as much as any other party or persons.

Sucks for glasses wearers who are about to be having a lot of blurry conversations when everyone starts to tell everyone to take off their glasses before they talk.

I didn’t say they were going to save the world, no more than the USA did or any nation state turned empire.

I do think China will eclipse America when it comes to being in a position of strong global leadership and the hegemonic power on the world stage. The USA seems to be shirking our duties, reshaping and destroying our society’s moral fabric, racing towards worse and worse education results and hellbent on making sure our healthcare is broken and our people are fat and dumb.

It’s not a winning recipe, even with a military that can dominate.

Every country has its problems and its demons, China is no different and certainly their problems are complex and grand. As far as greater or lesser evils - I’d put the USA and China about on par for all the fucked up stuff we have done the past hundred years and keep doing now.

I’d love to at least visit China sometime - honestly there’s so much fascinating history and getting to see a different approach to community building and infrastructure planning would be neat.

This is the dawn of the new Chinese century. I have no doubt in 20 more years China will be in an even stronger position as the USA continues to decline.

We, the USA, could do all the stuff that would make us competitive. That would require more socialism, more taxing of billionaires, more spending in green energy, education, transportation, healthcare becoming affordable and an actual human right for all in our borders, a real plan to transition off fossil fuels and shore up our domestic energy production and electric grid.

Idk more than that of course but that’s the elevator pitch.

We won’t do it though because corrupt capitalism and the oligarchy.

Maybe we will if at some point enough of us are struggling but we’re pretty fat and have plenty of entertainment to distract us even if we are being fucked. So … Yeah … Desperately hoping I’m wrong about most of my predictions, devastated as I keep seeing them come true.

Having gone from 10 to 11 - it’s pretty much windows 10, at least to an average user like myself … I’m tech savvy enough for Linux but I prefer windows for gaming.

Have to say so far I’m pretty happy with windows 11 but I’m just a random guy who uses it to play video games and that’s about it on that PC so if you’re doing anything crazy under the hood I’m sure there’s some noticeable differences.

And somehow this thread thinks that’s harsh or petty?

Is literally any person complaining about this guy setting reasonable boundaries paying him money to do this work?

No they’re a bunch of entitled assholes who need a fucking wake up call.

just gather up some hydrogen/helium from space and transmute it into whatever you need. food, fuel, structures, etc.

Tea, earl gray, hot.

Your comment was on top for me in my app, so I was like “oh how bad could it be.”. Holy shit you’re not wrong, there’s some disgusting comments that are getting voted up.

I’m low-key disappointed and appalled by these community members who believe these women “deserve” it for … Trying to help each other be safer?

If by “personal information” you mean sharing their experiences with certain people … Yeah I guess.

They weren’t sharing addresses and social security numbers or drivers license numbers or other things that would lead to identity theft.

How can you not have sympathy for these women getting doxxed because they wanted to help create a safer space for one another and to help each other out? That’s wild.

This is far from turnabout, this is abuse.
