  • IIRC George Jetson was canonically born in 2022.

    So... we ARE living in the Jetsons timeline... you and I were just born in the Jetsons slums.

  • A chatbot entirely powered by humans, not artificial intelligence? This Chilean community shows why

    Jump

  • It still bugs me how our vocabulary just immediately goes out the window to market this shit.

    • NOTHING is powered by AI. And unless some poor fucker's cranking away on a standing bicycle turbine or something, it's not powered by humans either. It's powered by whatever's giving their grid power - solar, wind, nuclear, dinosaur juice, that shit.
    • Humans grouped up for the purpose of taking and processing client requests isn't a fucking 'chat bot', it's a call center. This concept isn't new or novel in any way.
    • Even "AI" itself has become synonymous with 'computer generated'. Intelligence that's artificial still only exists in science fiction/fantasy. We've been misusing this term well before shit like LLMs existed - calling shit like NPC pathing in a videogame "AI" which is also stupid... but lately we'll slap an "AI" sticker on anything with an algorithm. We even moved the goal posts on this one with the new term "AGI" but I guarantee that one will be marketed into meaninglessness in the near future too.

    This post is powered by my phone's battery and last night's dinner.

  • xFire, please.

  • Save as PDF

    Jump

  • I mean, fucking with a PDF isn't exactly arcane knowledge, even after it's been signed. It's just cumbersome and tedious and requires counterintuitive actions like pressing Ctrl+P instead of Ctrl+S.

    If their purpose is to be secure, they're shit at their job.

  • Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds

    Jump

  • Chipmunks, 5 year olds, salt/pepper shakers, and paint thinner, also all make terrible doctors.

    Follow me for more studies on 'shit you already know because it's self-evident immediately upon observation'.

  • Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face

    Jump

  • Anyone remember xFire? It was better 15 years ago than Discord ever was or will be.

    ...damn I miss that shit. They were litigated out of existence by a frivolous lawsuit from Yahoo. This is why we can't have nice things.

  • Save as PDF

    Jump

  • Tech muggle here.

    Could we just get rid of PDFs and switch to word docs and spread sheets instead? I know this will likely cause a slurry of consequences, especially in professional circles, but have you considered: fuck it.?

    K thx bye.

  • What's the minimum number of food items you can survive on exclusively and what are they?

    Jump

  • I'd be worried about purines. A diet of pure steak would likely lead to an insane case of gout, which is a buildup of uric acid crystals in your joints... which ranks pretty high on the list of excruciatingly painful things you can be diagnosed with.

  • Monster's not terrible if you buy it in bulk. You can get it for around a dollar per can from places like Costco.

    Redbull idk - that stuff tastes like ass imo, so l never paid much attention to price. ...for the record, most Monster tastes like shit too, but there's a few gems in the Ultra line.

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • Just containing some chemical doesn't mean it will have same effect as it does in a different product.

    Chocolate, milk, butter, cheese, and papayas are each a chemically distinct environment, so what this acid does to chocolate may be mitigated or completely offset by the chemical makeup of those other environments.

    A more appropriate comparison to chocolate with butyric would be to chocolate without it, and between those two, the difference is a subtle acrid flavor reminiscent of vomit. If you don't personally pick up on that flavor, you should count yourself as lucky - once you notice it, it really does ruin the experience.

  • Taste the flavor

    Jump

  • Feeling the heat comes from your capsaicin receptors, which are fortunately distinct from taste. It's more of a pain receptor.

  • Taste the flavor

    Jump

  • ...I'm actually quite thankful my anus doesn't have taste buds.

  • YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They contain vitamin C, improve blood pressure, and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. Radishes contain almost no calories

  • Any favorite recipes?

  • Poll: The US president’s attempted Greenland grab has succeeded in turning Europeans solidly against his country

    Jump

  • ...yea there's no way I can accept that's in good faith. I'll leave you with: 'gestures broadly at the last decade'

    If you want to argue that he is somehow benefiting the US at the rest of the world's expense, then go ahead and knock yourself out, but the frequency at which he damages our country speaks for itself.

  • Good distinction. They too are enemies of the US, by which I mean the common person and the combined potential of US citizens.

    ...we're way fuckin overdue for guillotine day.
