  • OpenAI Says ChatGPT's Random Suggestion to Shop at Target Is Not an Ad

    Jump

  • This always seemed like the ultimate goal of a chatgpt or a Gemini.

    Attract: make a service that magically gives answers, killing the old ways to find or research information.

    Extract: once everyone trusts AI implicitly, weave in advertising without anyone's knowledge, allowing for extremely subtle and effective brainwashing.

    What's the hardest addiction you've tried to break or are trying to break?

  • I don't think they are supposed to taste bad. They are just an alternative to nicotine gum. You can get them at pharmacies. I don't like the gum because it's bright yellow and leaves little stains in my teeth so I got the lozenges this time instead.

    They do taste absolutely terrible though. And yeah, cigarettes smell awful but for whatever reason, I like the taste of them. I quit those a long time ago specifically for the bad smell though.

  • Just quit nicotine again for the 3rd total time. Sucks a lot. And I feel like the nicotine pouches are significantly more addictive than cigarettes or tobacco ever were.

    My secret this time was nicotine lozenges. They taste so terrible that it even overcame the positive association I have with nicotine. Good luck out there!

  • Older people (30+) online, what would you advise younger generations in regards to life?

    Jump

  • Best advice, dont break 2 laws at once. If you are going to drink alcohol underage, dont drive. If you are going to smoke weed, dont do it while you are trespassing somewhere etc etc.

  • The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing"

    Jump

  • Measles, theocratic government, phrenology: everything old is new again.

  • I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.

    Jump

  • Use a napkin or suffer a minor finger burn. Worth it for the outcome.

  • You put mustard on top and then spin the hotdog do the mustard is applied 360° and doesnt get all over you while you eat it.

  • What's your guilty pleasure movie genre?

    Jump

  • Japanese monster fighting movies. Godzillas especially but it needs to be guys in rubber suits doing stunts shot in slow motion. If you have that, I'm there. No matter how bad the acting no matter how bad the story, no matter how horrendous the dub. Give me big rubber monsters fighting and I'm there.

  • Turn for the Worse: My experience with a friend

    Jump

  • I hate to hear that and it shows how insidious propaganda can be. On the brighter side, I have actually been seeing the opposite happen with a few people I know. I'm jn a deep red area and, mostly because of the Epstein files and how hard farmers as being jerked around, I have seen some people finally stop, think critically, and reassess their views.

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

    Jump

  • I would say most of the customers of Framework are the kinds of people who espouse the kind of antifascist ideology that that guy that started the thread does.

    I don't think that the fascist sympathizer circle and the "willing to pay more money for an ethical laptop that isn't beholden to a big corporation for repair" circles have much overlap.

    This is easy, "Framework doesn't support fascism or racism in any form. We support open source software and right to repair. Due to concerns with ideology in some of the projects we sponsor we are reviewing the projects we sponsor to make sure that they align with our values as a company."

    The fact that they aren't willing to say so says plenty.
