The word “terrorist” has an incredible power to shut off people’s brains.

Copilot seemed to be a bit better tuned, but I’ve now confused it by misspelling strawberry. Such fun.

One time they told me I had 3 days left to enjoy YouTube with my ad blocker, and then I would have to buy premium, or they would just lock me out of the site. I was like “welp, it had a good run, I guess that’s it for ol’ YouTube.”

But then the 3 days went buy and nothing ever came of it.

That tactic probably did get them some preemptive subscriptions though, unfortunately.

Yeh, if I ever see my TV’s OS I’m like “fuck off! HDMI4!”

The consequences of dangerous driving should be borne by the people driving dangerously, and no one else.

I’ve always been a nerd, always enjoyed cool new technology, but the industry has become so drenched in assholery that this “grimy residue” has become its main feature.

I’m sure they’ll find something even more problematic to dump money into sooner or later.

Of course it’s not only ai, but the article’s subhead: “Statistics raise concerns that rise in demand for data processing driven by AI could derail climate targets”

Can we just cancel the whole “ai” thing? It was fun for a bit, now it’s just problems.

It’s not just remote places that can get evacuated.

I don’t live in the north, don’t own a car, and don’t worry about it, but if something catastrophic were to happen here, I hope there would be options for the many non-car-having people.

This reminds me of watching a Vietnamese YouTuber talking about getting through a major typhoon. I don’t think they explained how the buses were organized, but there were buses.

I almost have the proper gear for this… I’m sure I could make it work in an emergency. A good contingency idea. I think I’ve done about 80k in a day before, and it wasn’t particularly strenuous… you can cover a lot of ground on a bike if you just keep going.

What do people who don’t own cars do in this scenario?

This makes me think of movies, the scenes when like Godzilla or the stay puft marshmallow man or something shows up and everyone just gets out of their cars and runs away on foot. Movies are silly but in a panic scenario the car could easily become more of a hindrance than anything.

“factual accuracy in large language models remains an area of active research”

This really says a lot.

Liberté, égalité, centimètres.

The only way to fix billionaires is revolution.

Have you been listening to the Falun Gong? This comment is bananas.

Believe it or not, sometimes real people actually disagree with you. It must be difficult to imagine independent thoughts that don’t align with the narrative you follow, but they exist.

Yup 🙃

That propaganda must be tasty, they sure do gulp it down.
