Sure, it’s still better to NOT click Accept all once in a hurry.

But my browser does mitigate some of that.

Where does Cthulhu have its eyes though

I used to live at the edge of a suburb, next to a stroad with a wide downhill curve. The “perfect” combo of a large supply of moped teens from said suburb and ideal racing/revving conditions. Many times have I wondered what you wrote. I mean in some ways this is clearly mating behavior, no?

You clicked “Accept all” ONCE in a real hurry, huh?

This used to give me nightmares. Then I learned to love the bomb: Clean out everything each time you close your browser.

Santa technically has a red neck I guess.

from Drupal (…) to Modern Campus

wait what? It exists! Not going to link it. Just put a .com at the end. Says nothing about excel (or Microsoft), though the site looks horrible and has all the key-, tickle- and triggerwords that make me want to puke.

Contagion

I tried towards or slightly after the end of the pandemic and I just couldn’t take it, gave up after 10 minutes. Not because it’s a bad movie (I still don’t know) but because all that crap was still way too fresh in my mind.

tbf I was being facetious. Something something ThinkPad

You mean the Normal File Format?

edit: there’s an updated version of this where the only way to get at the document is to download it from the unofficial Whatsapp group.

Chapter 2

So I got a new Cyan capsule and changed it. Now it says low on black.

tl;dr: I think I’m just going to press OK on this EULA wall of text.

You think they’re pleasuring themselves at their desktops?

It doesn’t end once you get the job. And realize that it’s an endless, mind-numbing slog, 90% of which requires no qualification at all. That “exploitation” is not just a dramatic term made up by socialists. That your social skills are getting worse, not better, because of the faceless company you and everyone around you works for.

Recently I watched a movie in a cinema (Vie privée; a well made murder mystery). Haven’t been for ages. It was almost empty; maybe a dozen people. Imagine my surprise when after the movie, the foyer was packed with people, mostly teenagers. I was so baffled that for a moment I didn’t even realize they were waiting for the next movie; anyhow, the ticket seller told me it’s “some cult movie” called Five Nights At Freddy’s 2. So, last night I watched Five Nights At Freddy’s. A fun and touching movie about 1980’s animatronics puppets, with some mild horror motives.

PS: yes, it’s part of a video game franchise. Surprisingly well made though.

And now about Vie privée, the latest Jodie Foster movie. It was a nice whodunnit with a strong psychological strain. I liked it well enough. All Paris, Jodie Foster talking mostly French with occasional American swearing. The ending was a little rushed, the resolution a little simplistic, but a nice watch somewhere between crime and drama.

Not within the USA. I don’t know the exact details, but basically all regulation of AI-related stuff is suspended for 10 years or so.
By then they will be the dominating force.
And then they cry about the EU trying to enforce their own laws.

The AI chatbot has repeatedly misidentified 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who heroically disarmed one of the shooters, and claimed the verified video of his deed was something else entirely — including that it was an old viral video of a man climbing a tree.

In the aftermath of the attack, Ahmed has been widely praised for his heroism, but some have tried to dismiss or even deny his actions. Someone even quickly whipped up a fake news site that appears to be AI-generated, with an article naming a fictitious IT professional, Edward Crabtree, as the man who disarmed the attacker. This, of course, got picked up by Grok and regurgitated on X.

But Grok also suggested that images of Ahmed were of an Israeli being held hostage by Hamas. And it claimed that video taken at the scene was actually of Currumbin Beach, Australia, during Cyclone Alfred.

It’s hallucinating, but in MAGA 🤣

US American TV, I presume?

“Yes but it could be true! That’s the point!!”
