That smell and sound a newspaper makes when you do the traditional *thwap when you first open it. Not many experiences like it in the world.

People these days say tablet kids and instagram parents are insufferable… but like, we had to read the back of the newspaper you were hiding behind at breakfast while screaming something about Jimmy Carter being a soft bitch.

Looking at you AWS US East-1

They shouldn’t be killing dogs either! WTF is wrong with these psychopaths?

It’s still happening. Also, claiming something is AI when it’s not and downplaying the potential invasion of Taiwan makes it sound like you’re from a Chinese bot farm.

Came here to say that you wouldn’t believe how incredibly unaware the Japanese are when they’re walking but then I saw the video. Not only did the Japanese woman shove past the mom for NO reason, she juked hard right to hip check that poor little girl.

That bitch is a shame to our country and the government should make a public example of her. My idea, a giant stage under the 3D sign in Shibuya that’s playing the viral video while she gets caned with bamboo… slowly.

By that logic, AI engineers can just say they’re an archive and steal IP from artists to “lend” it to their LLM? I’m not saying the dude was in the right, I’m saying calling yourself an archive doesn’t automatically make you immune to IP challenges. When IA started “controlled digital lending” shortly after the pandemic, they started taking fire from creators.

An archive archives things. It’s not a library, it’s not a tor host, and CDL shouldn’t have happened… but everyone was on lockdown.

I mean, we live in a capitalist society that rewards that kind of behavior but more so, as a musician he has the right to defend his art from “theft”. IA responded appropriately. Realistically, a competent digital rights lawyer should have stopped him before it became news… but I don’t see him as being a sociopath.

Can’t blame him for trying. I’m glad the IA stood up to him or it could have been the beginning of the end for the archive.

“Hey fool, we heard you like, want a license to drive and shit. Press uno if you only have one card left, hahahaha just kidding just kidding calm down. Press numero two if you want to drive. Press numero three if you’re a cabrón and have to reschedule a failed test, or press numero four if you like, wanna talk about your feeling or some shit. If you want to repeat these options press that hash homie, and thank you for calling the Washington state Department of Pendejos that get to decide that yours truly has to ride a fucking bike everywhere in the wet-ass rain. *whistles good bye”

You can’t tell by the giant frames that never fit anyone’s face and the giant circular cameras with a recording indicator? Even if you disable the indicator, I would just assume they are always recording.

Same thing came up in the 90’s with pinhole cameras. Jackass used them and they all looked like narcs.

The number of cameras you’re on every day, being surveillance by government agencies/affiliates, should be this academic’s priority. Not the AmericanTurk doing food reviews.

Ok. Let’s say this app does find the glasses, then what? More Karen’s that don’t understand what “reasonable expectation of privacy” means?

No, we have a strict code phrase policy that’s been tested several times.

Ummmm… no. I play with my kids and if I’m not, I’m doom scrolling fedi right next to them on our gigantic couch. What world did you invent? Weird.

You ever been on Roblox? I’m not going to shelter him from what’s out there. Together we’re going to learn how to outsmart and out play every kind of troll. My daughters are much stronger now after playing toxic COD Zombies lobbies a decade ago. I’m an old man with three wonderful kids who will never bully or belittle another animal, even the nasty animals online.

Edit: do you think my child is unsupervised and I would allow a pedo to chat my kids up? “Roaming around time square”? Y’all need to stop pearl clutching. If you leave your kids unsupervised, that’s on you. My children are very aware of what is and isn’t appropriate.

My kid wants to be verified on Roblox sooooooo bad so he can defend himself against trolls. It’s actually been a good lesson in ignoring those idiots like water off a ducks back.

It’s absolutely disgusting how Jeffe gained the means to run his empire, but you have to admit, going from a school teacher to a guy world leaders bow to, is a bonkers story arc.

This is the proper use of a civil defense force. I miss hearing the good stories from the National Guard and FEMA. It’s sad when the greatest hero stories from the LA fires (for example), were other countries sending us their heroes.

Th BBQ scene in Argentina is the best in the world. As a citizen it would be nice to have a free vacation. Work my way back north, and have a fat lawsuit ready to submit when I got back.

I want the LHC with a functioning rail system that can accelerate a 1x1 brick 2-3 times before it disappears into the target.

The only thing I ever used a scientific calculator for was pretending to pass math class while programming Drug Wars line by line for my entire junior year, then playing it my entire senior year. The teachers thought I was REALLY into math while also really sucking at it.

Anyone else remember when the Chick-fil-a CEO said some weird shit, put scripture on the bottom of their cups, switched CEO’s years ago, donated millions to minority/LGBTQ+ communities, and the boycott still stands? Yeah, I miss those days. Now it feels like FB will gain more users with this announcement and that’s sad.
