I’m not saying words really loudly in my head while getting coffee. I just read the plots as I normally do, and make coffee as I normally do. It feels like magic.

Hey guy it probably feels like magic because you’re completely overselling where we’re at in terms of this kind of technology and we definitely aren’t anywhere close to an AI casually reading our casual thoughts and doing research based on them.

Further, yes, yikes, this is very fucking dystopian when you consider the AIs this is meant to interface with are corporate owned, meaning corporations will have ownership over your thoughts. You don’t think they’re going to let you retains rights once a copy of is it in their servers? At the very least they will give themselves certain rights over the copy of your thoughts, and you may not even be able to easily access a copy yourself. It just feels insane to even consider to freely give my thoughts as data up to a private company.

What would this mean for someone who has issues with intrusive thoughts? Would the AI report them to authorities as a danger to themselves or others because of their thoughts? Intrusive thoughts they cannot control or stop?

Will it report you to HR because you had some mildly dirty thoughts about an attractive coworker? It just seems like such a massive risk because humans are much less in control of their thoughts than we think.

Unrelated, I like that “glitch” is a yiddish word and makes me think of an old jewish guy kvetching about his “glitching” computer.

Is this a… cat? a… dog? a catdog???

holy amorphous blob

Damn and I thought this was gonna be about people realizing French Onion Soup is bomb as fuck and onion soup soaked bread is way better than garlic bread alone. The enlightened love the onion.

I mean, I’d daresay the gaming community has a large community dedicated to both accessibility and preservation, they’re just generally frowned upon because it’s, you know, piracy. However, only through piracy can I get an original release copy of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for PlayStation, Dreamcast and Windows. You can only get re-releases, remakes, and the like, often which do not hold up to the original in terms of style and control.

People act like these businesses haven’t done the math already. They did the math and people who think like we do are in such an extreme minority that even if every single physical game user boycotts entirely, they’ll still be making more money than they were before. It’s why mobile games embraced chasing whales at the cost of the quality of experience for the casual player. Fortnite was going to be an actual paid game beyond it’s current implementation, but that got dropped entirely for the free-to-play pay-for-skins cash-cow it became. If it’s profitable, they don’t give a damn if it sucks for most people.

We are in a stage of capitalism in which all available markets are saturated, and now to continue increasing profits year on year the only way to make that happen is to cater to wealthier customers who can afford the price increase that offsets the loss of the poorer customers.

I’m not even near the fires and I’ve been cooped up inside for days because the AQI is insanely bad all over the state.

The fact that the US has turned literally everything into something you can gamble on really shows how much of a failure of a society the US truly is.

The social contract has been dead for 50 years and yet people younger than fifty still out there acting like nothings wrong, and all you need to do is “get a better job” and everything will be fine.

Man I’m not sure getting a better job is gonna help me escape climate change exacerbated wildfires, nor the gambling markets that incentivize arson.

Is this what it feels like to chew 5 gum?

I fight my demons head on thank you very much. Seems quiet selfish to release them to torture the world. I am resistant to heat and freeze damage, I can take it.

Those indeed can be fun but be aware they’re almost assuredly doing facial recognition on their users, and the whole system works by always retrieving the files themselves from a remote server, I’m fairly sure they don’t even cache on your phone (I could be wrong there, though). It’s really up to you if you think it’s all fun enough and worth having fun socializing with your friends with the risk of lack of privacy in that respect. Maybe you can keep it to a minimum of anything important being talked about? Unless you have a major reason to worry about being targeted, most people can probably safely dip in just for a handful of throwaway conversations with friends.

Sorry other folk don’t read modern slang.

I didn’t even have to pull this dusty old meme out for you to tell me.

If it does it’s honestly excellent design, even if questionable as a fashion accessory.

It’s path down the hill was algorithmically determined but it’s actually a black box so I can’t tell you why it followed the path it did at all actually.
