  • ‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks

    Jump

  • What makes her a privileged bitch? She had a visa, she entered the country legally. In any other non-fascist country this wouldn't have happened.

  • Just say the word

    Jump

  • But surely she does something, right? I'd love the opportunity to no longer work & still be comfortable, but at the same time I know I'll get bored. I like working, I just hate that capitalism forces me.

  • Every job that I was ever trained to do and every job when I trained others was like this

    Jump

  • I usually show the correct method a couple of times for context, make sure they understand, then use the shortcut going forward. At least when they fuck up they know how to fix it properly.

  • Things ChatGPT told a mentally ill man before he murdered his mother

    Jump

  • Whilst I agree with your points, OpenAI should & must be held accountable.

    The entire industry is purposely blurring the line between AI just generating text vs it becoming the fountain of knowledge / general intelligence. It's becoming common hearing "Well ChatGPT says X" in discussions, and people generally finding it difficult to believe ChatGPT is wrong dispute the tiny warning banner at the bottom. There are people having active romantic relationships with LLMs because they believe it's sentient.

    OpenAI should have implemented safeguards. The fact it was actively fed & escalated his delusions is a significant contributing factor -- it told him he's a target & under threat. It could be argued without those escalations, it wouldn't have driven him to commit murder.

  • DirecTV screensavers will show AI-generated ads with your face in 2026

    Jump

  • I don't get how this would ever be a good idea.

    I would be extremely uncomfortable seeing my face in adverts, even for products I use. I'm already uncomfortable with adverts using personal recommendations based on tracking my web history & habits.

    I actively avoid those products in the future, and I can only see this alienating their marketing base further.

  • New 7-Zip high-severity vulnerabilities expose systems to remote attackers — users should update to version 25 ASAP

    Jump

  • Because said offline program is used to open malicious archive files from the internet.

  • Deleted

    Say that again, but slowly...

    Jump

  • Those people are too stupid to spot the irony.

    They just see an advertisement board mirroring their own racist thought process, and think how it must now be socially acceptable to spew their hatred around.

  • Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World

    Jump

  • We gain by generating counter-slop? Wtf are you on about.

    Anybody with a half a braincell can see the detrimental impact AI is having on social media & internet content generally. It's not astro turfing, it's just constantly dealing with generated nonsense that's causing the hate.

    People who are more susceptible to manipulation, which unfortunately seems to be right-leaning folks, seem to fall victim into believing & spreading it the most. They rarely do any form of fact checking.

  • New Yale Study Finds AI Has Had Essentially Zero Impact on Jobs

    Jump

  • This seems like bullshit to me. The UK sector I work in, 68,000 jobs were lost due to back in 2023. They all quoted the same rubbish as "simplifying operations using AI".

    My company has admitted this year they got it wrong and have backtracked.

  • Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe

    Jump

  • Most likely the reason, among others, they're fighting tooth & nail to remove side loading too.

  • Government Workers Say Their Out-of-Office Replies Were Forcibly Changed to Blame Democrats for Shutdown

    Jump

  • Surely the false personation laws would apply here then?

    They modified the out-of-office message to distribute a factually inaccurate statement, by using the shutdown recipient's voice & inbound mail feed.

  • Forever? You Promise?

  • The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

  • 6 in 10 Canadians say they can never trust Americans the same way again

    Jump

  • Sorry but the 35% who didn't vote, knowing the threat of Trump becoming president again was looming, are no different than those who voted Republican.

    The whole world remember his first presidential term. And we all saw the Project 2025 playbook. The US is in a mess of its own creation.

    As a Brit, I too have lost trust in Americans unless proved otherwise.

  • Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch

  • A security nightmare waiting to happen.

  • advertising and headers take up 50% of screen space

  • Estimates show we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures...

  • Trump mobilizing up to 1,700 National Guards troops in 19 states in crime crackdown

    Jump

  • Seriously question though, what is his end goal here?

    I'm assuming this is out of the Project 2025 playbook somewhere.

  • Pandemic certainly has it's uses

  • Technically only your hands need to pass the threshold. You don't need to touch anything outside, bar the package itself.

  • UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole

  • Of course not. Implies they do their jobs properly.

  • Wrote a email to my MP for this exact reason.

    The OSA needs repealing. All it's doing is either teaching people to follow poor digital hygiene practices, or forcing people to follow more risky methods of bypassing the OSA controls.

    Whole guise of child safety is laughable when they've made zero attempts to educate everyone (not just kids) on being safe online.
