Gen Z? This bullshit has been ongoing since the early 00’s. Every fucking company wants applicants with 5+ years experience straight out of the gate, with training provided by anyone else but them, and to pay the new hire as if they rolled out of their High School grad through the front door. Look to Gen Y if you want to see what’s going to happen again (more self-service kiosks and useless chatbots). Many of the kids training for these jobs are going to completely abandon their chosen career track in favour of work that’s responsive to their needs - things like actually responding to applications and paying their fucking rent/mortgage. I’m finding to people in their early 20’s who’re already sick of this shit, without a clear understanding of what’s happened to the labour market.

Holdup, are people not skipping the AI summaries entirely because the info is fucking shit?

Relieved to find this response below the others. Why TF would you search for a site i) whose URL you know? ii) waste space on your browser by adding the website as a search bar on your browser’s menu bar? How much time do people anticipate they’ll save by avoiding typing Wikipedia.org into the address field?

Microsoft’s AI wants to be your medical middleman, but is a “Secure by Design” promise really enough for Copilot? Would you trust Microsoft with the “puzzle” of your medical records?

Short answer? No, and no.

So they’re going to knock it off with their stupid subscription model software though, right? Right?

Real talk; if someone who knows these supervillain-level lunatics could do the entire planet a solid and break their arms, I’d really appreciate it.

hands on hips “That’ll stop them.” /s

Lemme guess, hundreds-to-thousands, also the people you’re telling it to have business degrees and $100K+ salaries?

MRW someone posts about Reddit still being a shit community tolerating abuse on a downward arc from Advance Publications, to Mods (fuck Spez), to users.

“Hey guys, I heard about a poppin’ new club! The cover is only $10, but bouncers get to backhand anyone anytime they feel like it, and kick you out anytime that you advocate support for anything even slightly left of center.” /s ᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ

Forgot the /s?

Fucking. Told. You. So. Over and over again, I talk to people about this shit, but no one really seems to get the existential risk, let along the actual realtime ones. CCTV security does not need to be internet connected.

Don’t install cameras inside your homes, whether it’s facing your yard, inside your garage, and especially not inside your living/sleeping areas. These programs are not secure, your terminals are not secure, the networks which transmit the data are not secure. If you don’t want a play-by-play of your argument with your SO, kids, or other family members, let alone footage of you fucking each other or rubbing one out, don’t fucking install cameras in your home.

Years later: “We’re going to mount similar shit-security wireless camera systems on our personal vehicles to record everything around us on a second-by-second basis. What’s the worst that could happen?”

Bingo, if I were still collecting DVDs/HD DVDs like I was in the 90’s, it might be an issue. Streaming services and other online media routed through the TV can hardly buffer to keep up with play speed at 720, so what the fuck would I want with a TV that can show a higher quality of picture which it can also not display without stutter-buffering the whole of a 1:30:00 movie?

That’s it, this is my best science news for the year. Nothing is going to top finding a new moon.

A musician/celebrity with high moral standards and personal integrity, imagine that, huh?

Asking the important questions right here.

Flat-eyes: new slur for Astronauts?

Sweet baby Jesus, is this it? Is this finally the cure for cancer that everyone’s been waiting for?

Goddamn it man, not the user account password, the fucking admin account password. Did you even read the article? Every single user account’s information was compromised, not one random jerk with 123456 for their password.

Speak for yourself, I’m holding out hope that the universe is actually a little fair, and that the dolt responsible to creating that password, and subsequently fucking over millions of people has their testicles ruptured. Who are these idiots?
