  • When I was in Canberra I went on a day tour around the city. As part of the tour we went to the Australian War Memorial, inside I talked to the tour guide a bit and jokingly asked if they had anything about the emu war. He actually went to a lady who was working there and asked.

    I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. I'm sorry, Bob.

  • Australia: Child sex abuse doll torsos and disembodied heads being offered on China's Temu, Shein to get around laws forbidding the importation of sex abuse material

    Jump

  • I think that's down to each individual case, but I'd fear that some, if not most, users would eventually want more than just screwing a doll...

  • Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With

  • Raising unrealistic expectations is what companies like OpenAI are all about

  • Bill Gates warns AI will take over most jobs and leave humans working just two days a week

    Jump

  • Well, he too needs to stay relevant somehow. Making ragebait statements is one way.

  • What's your favorite conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • Sounds like the Paul Is Dead theory. Which is totally real btw, no doubts about it.

  • Meet Mico, Microsoft’s AI version of Clippy

    Jump

  • I'm still not sure if Microsoft just doesn't get it or if they just love making stuff nobody wants... but then again, nobody wanted clippy back then either. I'm not sure Mico will age as gracefully as Clippy did, though.

    I guess in a perfect world companies like MS or Google would get fined for wasting so many resources on shit they shut down a year later. Not saying Mico is gonna be one of those things of course, I would never!

  • What careers did the shittiest people you know personally get into?

    Jump

  • Elderly care. If I had to guess it's not because they're good at it, but more because you don't really need to be skilled to get into it. Reputation-wise it's a step above working at McDonald's in this country (which is a shame).

  • No speed limits on the Autobahn is to Germans what the second amendment is to Americans.

    And it's just as dumb if you ask me.

  • I kept saying "Gesundheit" every time someone sneezed when I was in Australia. Many looked at me confused.

  • Yeah.... Wait, what

  • I went to an anti-tech rally, where Gen Z dressed as gnomes and smashed iPhones. Here's what I learned. | Business Insider

  • So basically, getting rid of tech that spies on you and can’t be used anymore after a certain point I guess.

    There are enough people that are perfectly fine with having any phone or any device to do basic stuff like making calls. And besides, if you wanted to get rid of something there are more responsible ways to do that than "me don't like, me smash" IMO

    And that’s not getting into brainrot AI content and manipulative machinations of social media.

    It's very easy to not use social media (in a harmful way) and not consume brainrot AI content in my opinion. Sure, it's getting more difficult to differentiate I guess, but it's still not that difficult if you try even a little bit

    Comparing to book burnings is only a false equivalence

    Which is why I didn't make that comparison, I guess you wanted to reply to @Buffalox@lemmy.world

  • I have no idea what smashing perfectly functional devices is supposed to accomplish. I mean yeah, it's an anti-tech rally, but creating e-waste is kinda shitty.

    Actually, I don't think I get the point of this whole thing at all. They're not rallying against climate change or fascism, it's just "phone bad". I guess I'm just too old to get it...
