Cardinal Scum: Lord Google! Our Premium service is only making 8.5 Billion net profit per year, a miserable increase of 25% from last year!
Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!
Agreed. Most American polls are still done by phone, so it only counts people who answer unknown calls, and then answer a series of questions about their beliefs. Which just gets more unbelievable every day.
Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish state via Sweden’s Transport Agency after striking postal workers in the Scandinavian country stopped delivering license plates for new vehicles manufactured by the Texas-based automaker
If you're on Xitter, I don't know what to tell you. Except, get off.
Has no one made the standard "how to move to Mastodon and take all your twitter followers with you" yet? If they have I havent' seen it, but that's the missing link here.
It's the same situation, just writ large. Dumb human decisions to put AI where it shouldn't be. Heck, you can put it in charge of the nuclear missles now if you want to. Don't. Though. That'd be really, really stupid.
Part of my knee-jerk dislike of the AI hype is that it's glorified text completion. It doesn't know shit. It only knows the % chance of your saying the next word. AGI is not happening anytime soon and all this is techbro theatre for the sake of money.
Anyone who reads a wall of bland generated text and thinks we're about to talk to god is seriously mistaken.

I remember when Malcolm passed and Brian was talking about him as the architect of their sound. He said he wasn't always big on talking but once in awhile after a song Brian would look over at him and he'd have a grin on that said "Yeah. That's it."
No app better defines the changing nature of social media than Instagram. The app started as a digital scrapbook — a place to keep up with real-world connections, close friends, and family. While other networks had more users (Facebook) or generated more news (Twitter), Instagram seemed to define the ideal form of this era of social media. Instagram became a verb, an aesthetic, and a generational signifier.

I hear you. But - and this is a "for what it's worth" - she's been pretty strident in her support of Ukraine and the reasons for. Which, is a lot better than the Qanon addled republiQans in the US.
2014 was like a different planet. Should we all have gone to war with Russia then? Maybe. I doubt there's a very good answer. It would certainly be different.
Love it. I was wondering the other day when we'd see a return to "simple" games like pool. Can you imagine the graphics power of today's games applied to "just" pool? Instead of 1000 things exploding, you could have a true ambient scene that was ever-changing and create different locales etc. Someday?
