It has been interesting to me to hear tech professionals talk about giving AI Agents access to their desktops, and I suppose it’s just the next step after people gave everything over to voice assistants.

I’ve just heard way too many stories of GenAI and LLM products screwing things up in a major way to ever be comfortable with that and never really got into smart home technology on the assumption (now proven correct) that the devices snoop on their users. I have a smart phone but generally keep it in a faraday bag.

Not at all.

I did not vote for Donald, but if it makes you feel better to presume, go for it. It doesn’t matter so you may as well find a coping mechanism.

I see you’re determined to not give Joe Biden credit for his record.

And that’s okay. It’s much easier to ignore his support for genocide than to acknowledge you voted for it.

Totally, man.

Thank you for your commentary. Have a great day!

But the motherfuckers at FB had the time and wherewithal to identify people trying to coordinate for out-of-state abortions of Facebook and then report them to the state and federal authorities, of course, just not human traffickers.

That’s not terribly accurate, but okay, don’t read the article.

A more fair summation would be: “Blue-collar politician wins hearts by answering tough questions, being authentic with people, and explaining his past.”

But there’s no bigger turnoff to the median Democratic partisan than authenticity.

Yeah. :(

I was in that position until March 2020. It’s awful and I wish we had the power to change it.

That’s an oversimplification, I think. There are a hundred material differences between the two. Further, if Platner were another Fetterman, he certainly wouldn’t be running as a progressive, because that sets him against both parties even if he is calling himself a Democrat.

As for being a Nazi, I don’t think that’s accurate either. One can’t really know for sure outside Platner’s own mind, but it’s probably more fair to say he was a bit of an edgy douche when he was younger. After all, it’s easier to get elected as a Nazi in America than it is to get elected as a progressive.

Yes and no.

Occasionally I like to fall asleep to SNL or a football game in the fall, but my bedroom is also haunted and the ghost likes to turn the TV on at weird times, so I leave it unplugged the vast majority of the time.

So sick of seeing confidently incorrect people opining, using historical examples, when they have never before cracked open a history book and have no idea of the context.

Always appreciate the Catholics: quick to moralize on any subject except their own church’s sanctioning of child rape.

He’s not wrong this time though.

Donald is such a pussy ass bitch.

Really hope he wins. I wish I could vote for him.

One more independent vote in the Senate is one more vote towards actual change.

Canadian law is also why there’s no Fox News in Canada.

Be that as it may, I wish there were a law on the books holding the AI agent and its operators accountable. Sounds like a massive fucking retail scam to me, and we don’t blame the victim when it’s a human con artist stealing their money, so it makes no sense to me to blame the victim when it happens digitally.

Yeah, it’s nothing particularly special IMHO. The best feature I’ve found in using it is that, for Microsoft products in particular, it can tell me capabilities of certain things I didn’t know previously when I present it with a problem.

Search engines used to do that before they got enshittified.

Really wed be at war with iran? Wed be blowing up random boats and killing people in the caribean? We would have snatched up other country leaders?

Israel would be, and therefore, we would be too. Yes.

We would have completely desgrpyed world trade by tarrifing every other country on the planet?

You’ll recall that Biden actually kept many of the Donald tariffs, so yes, it’s likely we’d be okay with disrupting trade to some extent.

We wpuld have all but destroyed the NATO aliance by starting said iran war and also threatening to violently invade greenland and canada?

Not Canada or Greenland specifically, but considering Obama was at war in 7 countries when he left office (that we’re able to confirm, at least. Could be many more.), and Biden was bombing several countries as well as aiding and abetting genocide and a manufactured famine in Palestine, it’s hard to argue that we wouldn’t be doing stupid shit militarily regardless. That’s especially true given the bloodlust of Israel and the Democrats’ insistence that we continue to hand them WMD’s on demand.

Do you need a prescription for this severoty of blindness

Thank you for the suggestion. You need to stop pretending that the Democrats are meaningfully different from Republicans, especially considering the Democrats also ran a candidate with publicly-evident brain damage.

The closest facsimile I have in my work is occasionally running an Excel formula I’ve written through Copilot in order to find a formatting error or to help fix an Access query, but If fundamentally understand what I’m doing, can validate that the produced result is correct, and can fix it if I have to somewhere down the line.

It’s good you’ve found some simple ways to use it, but in the vast majority of work I do, it would take longer if I used AI because everything produced using an LLM has to be human-validated regardless, so I might as well not skip the important step of learning and understanding it.

I never use it to ideate and never use it for anything that isn’t eminently simple, like creating a sheet with x number of columns and rows or something like that. I hate the idea of the environmental impact and that helps me avoid it.

Yes.

Hate turning mine on and having to reset the input every single time because they’re trying to annoy me into connecting it to wireless.
