The recording industry did.

Who pirates music anymore. Everyone has one of the streaming services for it, because they all have functionally all of the music. There’s no exclusive releases on one platform or another.

Well, maybe there is, I haven’t looked in a while. Maybe they’re enshitifying that too.

Somehow the TV/movie shit heads can’t figure the same thing out.

You’re not wrong.

Fun fact, since November 1998, there’s has always been a small number of humans that do not live on earth.

The international space station was launched November 20th, 1998, and has been continually manned during it’s entire service. So there’s always been a few humans living in space. Less than 100% of all humans that we know of, live on earth.

I would say that the majority of women that I know are more emotionally intelligent than the guys I know…

Most of the guys I know are emotionally repressed because they need to be a man.

Maybe not but default, but it integrates natively with it.

There’s a partnership there.

I work in IT, I’m not a coder. I’ve seen this stuff used for office things and the output from all that is basically trash.

It’s like having a child for an assistant who is high on LSD all the time but has a remarkable grasp on the English language despite all of that, and they speak incredibly confidently regardless of the topic.

The work basically needs to be double checked at every step and often needs to be rewritten. It doesn’t really save time, just moves your workload from producing the text to being a copy editor.

I certainly didn’t mean to imply any methods are perfect or without the opportunity to go wrong.

Hopefully nobody got that idea from what I said.

I’ll reiterate: I’m not a butcher, so my knowledge is limited. I do, however, still eat meat despite all that I know about it.

For the CEOs and shareholders, we’re all equally worthless and expendable.

Any one of them would happily leave you to die before losing any of their profits.

Yeah, I think decapitation is fine. I think this guy just cut their carotid, and hung them up to die.

Not a great way to go, honestly.

I’m familiar with some butchering methods, but I’m no butcher. I think that the most common practices in large butcher shops involve either decapitation, or a way of instantly killing the animal. Pretty sure they use a type of bolt “gun” for bovines that basically crushes their skull.

It seems like it is brutal, but their death is so instant, it is considered to be humane.

To be fair, from what I’ve seen if peacock behaviors, they’re dicks.

Animals being dicks is not a good enough reason to kill and eat them. They should also be tasty.

Is peacock tasty? I’ve never had any. Can we ask the guy in the news story?

10/10 reference. Would meme again.

I know Apple has been very open with creating their own LLM, and Microsoft isn’t exactly hiding the fact that they are too.

The one that will be hard to squash is Gemini, since it’s fairly far along in terms of development and it’s also backed by Google. Being backed by Google is either a sign that it won’t ever die, or that it will be cut in the next 18 months and end up as another item on killedbygoogle.com

Won’t anyone think of the shareholders!?

For real though, I had a job where the management team tried to motivate us by setting “shareholder expectations” or some such nonsense. Obviously this didn’t work. Also the company was small enough that pretty much everyone working there personally knew all the shareholders… Because they also ran the business. They were the managers.

The balls it must take to be a shareholder, and to be known as a shareholder then talk about shareholder expectations like those are for a different set of people that isn’t just you… Gotta be massive…

Nah, let’s privatize all the services you need to have a functional home. That way the companies can extract maximum value from the customers.

Brilliant.

Yeah, but they have backing from companies with deep pockets. Apple and Microsoft are leveraging chatGPT on their back end, so they’re not going to run out of money until that well dries up.

It’s not the first few months of the pandemic anymore?

What year is it?

Clearly. Didn’t you read the post?

Also, I’m an ancestor now. Neato.

Us ancestors are also tired. FYI.

That’s pure skill. You are amazing at converting Ambien and whiskey to felonies.

Possibly the best turnaround for this exchange I’ve seen. Congrats.

When people call me, I have a mini panic attack worrying who is dead.

Usually it’s just someone calling to remind me that I have a balance due.

I’ve been using this.

Most callers aren’t paying enough attention and just leave a message like it’s voicemail.

0/10 effectiveness.
