Yea, and just like Trump said, he’s just “doing the Red Cross”. Yes, that’s right. It’s not that he belongs to the Red Cross or is supporting the organization known as the Red Cross, he is “doing the Red Cross”. You know, the famous medical procedure? He’s performing it in this image.

I don’t even think they can be called performatively better than google. Has google personally gifted Trump tacky golden shit? Feels like apple has kissed the ring a lot more.

It’s interesting to watch tech companies in recent years. The brands that used to be overpriced and over hyped are suddenly becoming the most affordable and highest quality. Not because they’ve necessarily improved, but simply because they haven’t embraced enshittification yet.

I agree there are still good independent reporters. But the point is that they don’t fall under the category of “Every major news outlet”. Even when independent reporters make in-depth reports on what should be bombshell topics, major news outlets won’t even mention it. They have all been captured and corrupted.

“Every major news outlet” is fucking meaningless these days. Mainstream media has fallen so far that their articles are, at best, misleading and a distraction; outright lies and propaganda at worst. They don’t give a shit about verifying the truth anymore and will kill stories the moment it inconveniences anyone in power. The fourth branch is fucking dead. They have been defanged, declawed, and sold off to billionaires who keep them around like trained gimps.

And yes, random tweets are not better; but if you still think any major news outlet still has even a shred of credibility left, you haven’t been paying attention.

Why is the word “causation” photoshopped on? What word was there originally that would have changed the meaning enough to warrant pasting a different word there?

My point is that essentially ALL elections these days have blatant abuse. So saying “well if it wasn’t for the blatant abuse…” is pointless because it’s pretty much guaranteed to be present. It doesn’t really matter how close or popular someone gets because the powers that be have their thumb on the scale.

“Almost” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Light Paywall. Article is unlocked, but requires a sign in.

Yea, and the internet will never go mainstream. I also heard Apple developed this new product called the iPhone, what a stupid idea that no one will buy, people will just stick with regular cell phones when given the choice. Now excuse me while I ride off on my horse that will never, ever, be replaced by these new au-to-mo-biles.

See, I can do it too.

People who are vehemently against any form of AI will be left behind. That may be difficult to hear, and even more difficult to accept, but that is the cold, hard, truth.

Its a tool, and just like any tool it has uses. It can be used inappropriately, and it’s valid to criticize those instances. But if you are plugging your ears and going “Lalala!” when people talk about actual valid use cases, or stubbornly pretending that it has none, you will be left behind.

You will be like office employees from the 80’s and 90’s who refused to use a computer and then suddenly found themselves without a job. It’s your choice if you use it or not. It’s also every company’s choice to not hire you because of your unwillingness to adapt.

If you haven’t learned it yet, this is your warning and your wake-up call: Learn how to use AI now, or find a different career. It’s not going away, no matter how much you may bitch and moan. There will soon be two classes of people, those who learned how to use this emerging technology, and those who refused. Things will be much harder for that second group.

I don’t say this to be snarky or smug. I hate AI myself, but I also recognize how fucking stupid I’d have to be to refuse to use it. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s also the truth.

Going to guess this is Number 1 in the past week, or 24 hours, or Number 1 downloaded recently, or some other limited metric because there is no fucking way the average user cares enough for MapQuest to unseat google or apple maps.

Which hey, that’s still great. But considering people don’t go to the app store to download Google/apple maps since it typically becomes pre-installed, I can’t help but feel this headline is misleading.

I’ve seen the story many times that the company never intended for the star to mean you won a free sucker, but I have yet to see an explanation for why the star is there on some, but not on others.

I love the ml users immediately rushing to China’s defense and ignoring their absolutely absurd claim that only 16 people are dead like we didn’t all see videos.

That’s not how AI works. The people claiming that AI models have to be trained on CP to make CP have a fundamental misunderstanding of how image generation models work.

If I ask an AI model to make an image of a sexy air fryer fucking a sexy, anthropomorphic, ear of corn, it will produce said image. I promise it was not trained on sexy images of air fryers fucking sexy anthropomorphic ears of corn.

That’s what makes AI so dangerous and difficult to regulate. We are not ready for this technology to be in the hands of everyone.

I’m still not following. Most non-tub showers look exactly like OP’s picture except they have a sliding/swinging door.

What do you mean by elevated threshold? You mean that small ~3inch lip that is also present in OP’s picture?

The thing everyone forgets is that there is practically nothing that will move the working class. There is this idea that if everyone just banded together and fought for better rights, everything would be better. But that’s about as feasible as all cows banding together for better rights. It’s just not something that is going to happen. There is nothing that will mobilize the working class. Nothing.

Individual humans can be intelligent, insightful, and can be convinced to take up a cause and work towards something greater than themselves. Humans as a large group though? Idiots. Fucking idiots. Literally no better than crabs in a bucket.

That’s the problem. Any plan for change that involves the working class rising up and seizing control is a plan that is doomed to failure. Because the working class will never rise up and seize control. Ever. People have to be dragged kicking and screaming toward change, or tricked into accepting it. Those that think mobilization of the working class is a possibility have a fundamental failure in the understanding of human sociology.

MAGA melts down

Fuck off. No they didn’t. I very much doubt that 95% of MAGA even saw this interview, and the remaining 5% made their own conclusions.

Why do we allow Daily Beast here? They are nothing but click-bait of the worst kind.
