It doesn’t seem to matter how many experts remind people…

But this is not new. People have been drinking bleach and giving themselves cyanide poisoning long before the spread of LLM chatbots. Some dare to call it “doing their own research”

A man uses the internet to poison himself. The story as old as time But if we stick the AI in the title, we can get some sweet clicks out if it.

Having a union-wide regulatory framework for soda bottle caps, or mandatory categorization of cucumbers seems a lot less like a government overreach in comparison. Thanks, I guess… 🥲

This would be cool 20 years ago. Now it’s just a stunt.

ID checks on the streets and everywhere you go in the city, except much of the city got virtualized

Except on the internet, you can still create your own street with your own rules.

I used to buy a lot of pizza and burgers with bitcoin when I did night shifts. Still use it to buy electronics at least once a month.

It’s also the best way to donate to nonprofit projects. I can just send ~ $10 of value, one time. No need to risk accidentally signing up for a monthly subscription or being bombarded by spam.

If you don’t keep 100% of your monthly budget in BTC, you don’t really care about the volatility either, because long term it always goes up.

Not really. Just a bunch of volunteers trying to get the police all over the world to do their job.

You know the old saying… The politicians don’t want children to be able to recognize a cunt.

Ever since I switched to lemmy, I constantly stumble upon people trying to guilt other people for their hobbies. That’s pretty unhealthy.

Whoever reads this, don’t feel guilty living your life. Spend time on whatever you’re passionate about. Build new things, even if they do not have a rational use case at the moment. They might play an important role in your future.

The comoanies are completely capable of doing something, but this is not a competition in doing something. Plus, aiming for a PG13 world will have consequences far worse than a text generator doing exactly what it is asked.

There. We just broke the law.

They absolutely are. It’s one thing to beg for the right to do something. It’s entirely different to be able to just do it without the permission.

Did people forget how big of a deal the printing press was?

Also turn on the electric blanket if we are out and heading towards home after 9pm

Make sure it defaults to OFF after power loss. My colleague had a close call when the smart plug with the infra panel plugged in decided to turn on after the power outage.

When I was complaining about the 10 pieces of paper, each needing a signature and a stamp, just to close one of my bank accounts, the clerk has informed me that some of their procedures has switched to an electronic signature instead. I was pumped! Until he finished the rest of the sentence. By the electronic signature he meant the squigly line, just on a touchscreen.

Some people strive to achieve the pure zen. At that moment I’ve achieved pure cringe instead.

It’s strange though, because that same bank has an excellent API and batch processing available.

Imagine being so brainwashed by the omnipresent DRM and always-online devices, you forget how podcasts work.

So people can now hire a cop to actually prevent a crime, instead of waiting for it to happen so that they can report it afterwards? Crazy times.

God hates people who abuse a security vulnerability disclosure to write a shitty clickbait article, and there’s an extra special place in hell for those who mention a name that’s cool to hate in the title to bring more clicks.

These are the founding principles of my new religion. We meet at fridays. Bring your own cookies…

The per viewer cost saving must be fractions of a penny.

For a national television, sure. For the hundreds of thousands of small influencers seeing this free advertisement on TV, it would be a major cost saving.

Imagine all the ladies from the tiktok mills not having to make funny faces on camera for hours at a time anymore.
