It’s a fundamental flaw in first-come-first-served moderation that also gets to reserve a unique name.

He seems like the sort whose pee and poo just goes straight into a collection bag of some sort.

I have brought great shame upon myself.

Since Jesus doesn’t know how to drive, you’d think he’d take one of the car’s four wheels rather than its steering wheel.

Why would you want to see a grun?

I saw some sort of PSA where they were diagramming how much a criminal could learn from these stickers, and one of the stickers was something like a picture of a gun, with the words, “Come and take them.” And the criminal commentary was, “These people have guns that we can take.”

If everyone had save states then it wouldn’t be a superpower.

Man, if I could have save states for my life and be able to reload from like any time in my life… Well, that would be one superpower that I’d like.

I don’t have a link, but I am sure I saw it on the news in the early or mid 90s. But one thing I have learned recently is that many of the “news” articles about cars are invented stories planted by other car companies.

Like one recent thing you’d have seen is stories about electric cars catching fire. It seemed that every time any electric car caught fire, it was national news, but non-electric cars catch fire frequently, as well.

So anyways, long story… less long, the story I’m remembering might have been fake, as well.

These people are better at using AI than like 99% of everybody, since they are actually critically and carefully reviewing its output.

One of the big problems with actually using AI for work is that, even for people who carefully and critically review it, sometimes, it is just too good at making slop look like something real.

I remember when cruise control first became widespread for cars. Most people didn’t use it or barely used it. Some people, like me, did a lot of testing and figured out the best ways to use it, and ended up using it more than most. But then, there were people who just assumed it would work perfectly like they imagined, and used it as if it was a full-self-driving car, which immediately had bad results.

I think the worst thing about AI is that it lures people into fully trusting it, and they don’t even realize that their cruise control car is heading off-road towards a cliff. AI can be a useful tool if you know what you’re doing, but it is such a bad idea to have it on by default. Even a lot of fairly experienced users are tricked by AI. The average person doesn’t have a chance. It’s irresponsible to expose them to it.

This is perfect for my use case. I mostly think AI results are a waste of energy, but having them on demand can be useful.

Oh shit it’s Gorignak

I’m going to say something spicy here, but for me personally, I’ve found DuckDuckGo’s AI search summaries to be quite useful. Not for the actual AI summary text, but for the links they give, which are often better than the normal search results.

That being said, I could easily do without them.

One of my favorite media personalities today is James O’Brien, who hosts a news commentary and phone-in radio show. He’s well-known, but not so much in America.

A lot of his highlights are him simply asking people to explain themselves, and in the process it becomes obvious that (1) they cannot explain themselves because they don’t understand what they’re talking about, and (2) the explanation begins to circle around, because it is obvious that it’s based in racism, but they cannot actually say it’s racism.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation young founders as "a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes,”

Which came first? Inventions or Intellectual Property laws? You obviously can’t have the one without the other.

Maybe the rest is porn.

Not a single pixel. The code, however…

As you say, tools are just tools. Even a dumb phone and CD players are “technology.” You can use a hammer to build a house, or you can use it to break into a house and kill the owner. The tool itself really doesn’t hold any sin.

Some people prefer to use older tools, though. It often gives them more of a feeling of connection, especially if we’re talking about the things they grew up with. So, there’s nothing wrong with choosing older technology just because you feel like it, either.
