We never thought that would happen here.

I keep hearing this from many people who are having the day they voted for.

Except they decreased it recently.

You just don’t do business with them. It’s that easy. Unless you live in some tiny town with ONLY a McDonald’s, there are a million identical options where you can order without any app and talk directly to a human.

This is a crazy amount of paranoia, especially from someone who is instead recommending a fucking app.

“We only want things to go fast when we’re in the lead.”

Fuck these poseurs.

LOL. Imagine having an AI subscription in the first place.

No, this is not the issue and the article expounds on that.

The tl;dr is that kids mirror their parents’ behaviors. If a parent spends multiple hours per day on their phone, the kid thinks that’s what they should do as well.

What happened with Nest?

“Set an alarm” is similarly totally fucked now. I used to use the Google assistant for simple stuff like that, but now it’s way easier to just open the clock app and set the reminder myself. Then they added a widget/shortcut to identify the song playing in the room, and now I don’t need the assistant at all.

Good luck with that.

The company is now known for producing complete drivel, so what’s a little more AI slop?

Man, this article really reads as some tech dystopia / 1984 shit. It’s full of bad faith arguments by those who approved and/or operate the flock cameras. Really scary stuff to see play out in reality.

This quote sums things up super well, highlighting the danger of what we are seeing at the national level flowing down into local governments:

The mayor has gone far beyond her lawful authority. If left unchallenged, it sets a dangerous precedent where the mayor can claim a public safety emergency any time she disagrees with the legislative branch, creating an unchecked power that echoes what is happening in Washington.

LOL. LMAO, even.

Not a great article even if it does attempt to make a relevant point.

Talks about how we didn’t get slimmed down versions of consoles while ignoring the beefed up releases like PS5 Pro.

And then they totally lost me at the still image comparison between Xbox One and XSX and related talk about how games look mostly the same across gens. Anyone who has played the pictured game (Halo Infinite) on both knows how the visual differences are huge - better resolution, higher frame rate, WAY better draw distance, texture popping reduction, etc.

This author has an agenda that they go out of their way to push, even when they don’t need to.

Boo fucking hoo

Customers would, according to the proposed rules, have to present a government ID, a physical address, a full legal name, and an existing phone number.

For a country that doesn’t like/want to provide government IDs at no cost, the US sure does like to require them.

Also, gotta have a phone (number) to get a phone. Nice closed-loop system you’re proposing there.

When offshore-sourced code gets too shitty they can hire some senior engineers to rebuild it in a way that’s compatible with the rest of their ecosystem.

In a functional US, the official app from the head of the executive branch would be trustworthy.

But that’s in a functional US.

YOU-FU-CK is the better format and this is not debatable.

Microsoft: It isn’t fair to call us that!.
Also Microsoft: breaks everything immediately after

AI boosters are no longer allowed to explain what’s good about AI using the future tense. You can no longer say “it will,” “could,” “might,” “likely,” “possible,” “estimated,” “promise,” or any other term that reviews today’s capabilities in the language of the future.
