  • US Used Chatbot for War Planning

    Jump

  • I don't even trust these things with basic medical questions and they are using it for military operations? People are just so god damn stupid. I suppose the upside is (for them) anything at all goes wrong and they just blame the computers, and we all know how much the US military loves unaccountability.

  • Humans Have a Third Set of Teeth. New Medicine May Help Them Grow.

    Jump

  • Been waiting on these dental breakthroughs for decades now.

  • US contractors in Kuwait decry meager bunkers and pay cuts amid Iran war: ‘We’re treated as expendable’

    Jump

  • Not everyone who works at McDonalds complains that the oil is hot because they know the oil is supposed to be hot. I don't see how it's a bad analogy at all.

  • US contractors in Kuwait decry meager bunkers and pay cuts amid Iran war: ‘We’re treated as expendable’

    Jump

  • I'm curious as to what a normal day for these no doubt hard working contractors looked like before this happened. How many times a day were they jacking off exactly? Anyways, a good way to not be sent into a war zone is to not work for a defense contractor. It's part of the job is it not? I don't get it. It's like complaining the fry oil is too hot at McDonalds.

  • What's missing?

    Jump

  • Phil Collins could be an American Psycho reference perhaps, but idk why they wouldn't use Huey Louis - Sports instead.

  • BREAKING: Israel Reportedly Believes Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Has Been Killed

    Jump

  • Great, so then what? Another guy they don't fuckin like comes in. It never ends.

  • Burger King will use AI to monitor employee 'friendliness'

    Jump

  • Ba-da ba-ba-ba-bankruptcy

  • Scouts Will Abandon D.E.I. Policies Under Agreement With Pentagon, Hegseth Says

    Jump

  • I hope all these assholes end up at the bottom of a fucking landfill, graves are too good for them.

  • OpenAI is helping the US gov to mass surveil and kill people autonomously

    Jump

  • we have expresses our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

    We want to rule the world with no questions asked. If you want me to believe AI will usher in a new era of peace then why are all the people who are loving it and pushing it absolute warmongers?

  • What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger?

    Jump

  • Lol I've found myself doing this as well... "$6 FOR GUMMI WORMS ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE COUNTRY."

  • The X-Files, 1993-2002

    Jump

  • They pulled it off though. David Duchovny is so charming. I hope if aliens are out there they meet David Duchovny first.

  • Death of Fredrick Brennan, creator of 8chan forum where QAnon emerged

    Jump

  • Q: Into the Storm from HBO. Pretty good doc, interview a lot of the main persons and seem to come to a pretty good conclusion, but yeah I was curious too with this new info.

  • Why the mobile web still can’t compete with native apps, and how to fix it

    Jump

  • (Good) web developers care (or used to) about the total size of the page, to keep loading times down, making sure images are optimized, etc. App developers don't have to care about any of that, they can stuff whatever they want in their 100mb app store download. Gee why doesn't the experience compare. Ugh.

  • ISIS teaching recruits how to use AI ‘responsibly’

    Jump

  • I'm sure, it's like the perfect tool for unimaginative soulless religious zealots.

  • Boss of theatre hosting Chinese dance group Shen Yun in Sydney won’t be intimidated by ‘outrageous’ threats

    Jump

  • Dance group, cult front, potato potato.

  • Block lays off nearly half its staff because of AI. Its CEO said most companies will do the same

    Jump

  • Oh hey it's the asshole who decided to speedrun the enshittification of the internet by selling Twitter to Musk. Scott Ian called he wants his goatee back, Jackass.

  • Major Canadian study finds strong link between cannabis, anxiety and depression

    Jump

  • I don't drink (anymore at least) so it's all I got, the only real negative effect I've observed from it is you kinda stop dreaming after a while, or at least remember having dreams. Agreed though honestly it's like aspirin to me haha. It just makes everything easier and better to me so why not. Getting high and zoning out playing music is the bees knees.

  • TIL Ronald Reagan was deeply influnced by SciFi when implementing policy. He reportedly initiated cybersecurity changes within the DoD after watching the movie WarGames and asking if it was plausible.

    Jump

  • Spies Like Us skewers this quite well.

  • Major Canadian study finds strong link between cannabis, anxiety and depression

    Jump

  • I've found that link myself, I'm anxious and depressed when I'm out of cannabis.

  • Some may find this amusing and interesting: Digg doesn't seem to be as active as the Fediverse.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I suppose we shouldn't be too shocked though, Kevin Rose has been around SV long enough, I'm sure he could muster up a bit more, the site doesn't even seem to have a vision really. I suspect it will just be datamined or used as some experiment/testing ground.
