  • Elon Musk and Sam Altman clashed on X after Musk shared a post about a man who committed a murder-suicide following delusional conversations with ChatGPT

  • Altman already has plenty of mud on him.

  • Fair. Did not know about the nuance, but in this case it was mostly just pointing out the BBC was not being callous.

  • Does anyone outside the Brits use it though? All this tells you is they are not from the UK

  • That is just the British term for being laid off/fired.

  • Why I Quit Streaming And Got Back Into Cassettes

    Jump

  • The problem for me is the longevity. Tapes degrade faster with time and use compared to CDs or digital downloads.

  • How does the Beehaw community consume music?

    Jump

  • I was the weird holdout still using Pandora. Their radio option always seemed to work better for me than other streaming services. Thanks to this post I learned they are worse than Spotify for artists, though, so I am trying Qobuz literally starting today. So far, so good. Don't feel like any artists are missing, the quality is really good, and they pay the most of the streaming services.

  • South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage

  • advocating common sense is not victim blaming.

    You say that, but you also said this in your original statement, which is classic victim blaming:

    sometimes people really do get what they deserve 🤷‍♂️

    They did not deserve this. You can say you are advocating for common sense, but the first thing you said was that they deserved to be harmed.

    I've seen this comment, and I do not find it persuasive. For the first part, how do you know it is a sketchy neighborhood? You could easily walk into a situation you have no way to know is a bad situation through no fault of your own. What if you are there to take pictures in the neighborhood? There are a ton of reasons someone could find themselves in that situation. If you get robbed, the blame still falls on the perpetrator. The person did not deserve to be robbed.

    The car analogy does not have anything to do with this situation. You would be walking into a space where you knew you were likely to get hurt, vs this situation where you expect to NOT be hurt.

    and one should assume that at least some of the women who were patients there had one. it only takes one person to raise an alarm in situation like that.

    And if that were the case, I would assume that detail would at least be mentioned in the article since that could be it's own story. Honestly it would be a better way to frame this article. All of the little details point to this not being the case and they just mentioned the gynecologist for engagement bait.

  • South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage

    Jump

  • i’ll go out on a limb here and say that records from the lobby don’t make very good “sexploitation” material

    The article only states that a gynecologist's office camera was hacked, not that the footage was used. It sucks, but I can guarantee they put that in there for shock value.

    Later it states 1193 videos were made from 133,000 cameras that were hacked, so while nobody but the people with the data can say for sure, it is quite possible it was just a lobby camera.

    the article is about camera hacks, not cameras hidden by some peeping tom

    Yes, but your argument is that people should have gone elsewhere. People are just giving you pretty reasonable explanations as to why they might not have simply gone to another doctor. Nobody is saying "This is exactly what happened."

    “some” might not, but again, there is no indication these were purposely hidden cameras, so lot of them should.

    There is no indication that it was a visible camera in the exam room either. You just made that assumption.

    The article says nothing about the circumstances, so everything said is speculation. Assuming the camera was visible and in the exam room is just that, an assumption. Just as you made that assumption, others gave reasons why that may not be true.

    You can justify victim blaming all you want, but the fact of the matter is the blame lies solely on the perpetrator. If they did not do the bad deed, then the victim would not be a victim.

    You can, and should, have situational awareness, but that is something that comes with experience and practice. Not everyone can prepare for every situation.

  • A lot of pretty reasonable ways it could happen.

    1. It says nothing about it being in an exam room, could have been in the lobby
    2. Could have been hidden as others have said
    3. Could have simply gone unnoticed since people would not expect a camera in exam rooms

    There are a lot of people to potentially blame here, none of which are the victims

  • Introducing the INDX! Fast and affordable 8-material printing exclusively on the CORE One - Original Prusa 3D Printers

  • Typically it is different colors of the same material, but you can put different materials in each slot too. Common 3D printing filaments are PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and less so ABA.

  • My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones.

    Jump

  • Yup, there have been a lot of battery issues with electric cars. The good news is those seem to be few and far between nowadays.

    After that, I bought a Tesla. Downvote me if you want, but it was the next best option.

    I can't and I wouldn't anyway. Before we knew Elon was a fascist, they were usually a good option (provided you got one from a good run). We bought a used Tesla in 2016. It was a great car, but when someone sideswiped it and totaled it in 2020, we could not in good conscious get another one.

  • Yeah, one of the founders is from OG Tesla. Still not putting a deposit, but makes me more optimistic.

  • I feel like the Telo has more bonafides than the Aptera. At least one of the founders has shipped a car in the past (original Tesla Roadster). Slate has Amazon backing, so will probably happen, but also Amazon...

  • The all had 200-250 mile ranges. Less than 320, but fine for most folks. Now there are so many good EV options, the only downside is cost nowadays. We need a good, compact, inexpensive EV with decent charging speeds. The Bolt almost does that, bit the charging speeds are real slow

  • There were other options that just weren't well advertised/known. KIA Niro/Hyundai Kona, Chevy Bolt, and Jaguar I-Pace all existed in 2019 in addition to the 2 you mentioned.
