  Hate to break it to you but that is not what Amazon AI is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Curious if you don’t mind explaining why? I can completely understamd not wanting Amazon Spyware in your home, but if you already have it and use it, what about this upgrade becomes a turnoff? Alexa was always a frustratingly dumb hands free AI. The upgrade seems like it should have happened a long time ago and at least brings a little bit more intelligence to the conversation and better natural language processing. I’m curious why people wouldn’t want that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[meme] choochoo⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, it’s great to dream. In your dream are cars just completely gone? If so that’s a pretty extreme stretch of a dream. If you are going to have any cars why wouldn’t you want them to be self driving?

  Here is a clue. Jensen Huang is a billionaire.

  That’s a cool project thank you. Will check this out further

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just got a colonoscopy and the doc said she found some copilot in there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Deflock.me is absolutely depressing to see the amount of surveillance present.

  Would be great to have a navigation app that could map routes that avoid or minimize the number of surveillance points.

  Currently I just try to be diligent about marking any police or ice activity in waze but a FOSS option would be great.

  Seems like this has some teeth at least. Elon usually doesn’t budge at these sorts of legislation changes but this cleary has him a little nervous at least.

  You clearly don’t motorcycle.

  Careful what you wish for. The silent ones can be worse.

  My palms hurt just reading this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL: Parental controls aren't for parents – Beast Hacker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Executing them effectively is extraordinarily difficult though. They are a gimmick in the sens most of the time they give a false sense of security. Trying to get the working in a way that allows kids to use devices effectively but blocks what you want them to block is a very hard line to walk. When you finally feel like you are close there’s a new app or something changes and it’s like you are starting all over again. Apple perhaps has the most usable and consistent ecosystem for this, but it’s still not all that good and the cost of the relative simplicity is a lack of granular control when you want it.

  I’m not claiming to have the answer, but I can understand why people are scared and frustrated with the current state of parental controls.

  Where the fuck do you get this optism from and can I buy some?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most bizarre tech announced so far at CES 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well don’t be so hyperbolic. Only a three way switch would compromise a network sophisticated enough to be considered AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How about a free gun at the end of life of any product?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This AI-Powered Drink Machine Slops You Up Some Generative Booze⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s my mood tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That time Apple sent everyone a U2 album: 'I DONT WANT YOU.'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s not many places I feel safe saying this, but I’m going to go ahead and say it here. I don’t really like U2s music. There I said it. I genuinely don’t understand their massive popularity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨News: There Were BGP Anomalies During The Venezuela Blackout⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bad actors as in the US gov? Suggesting they were using bgp to spy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live on stage during hacker conference⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This implies they could have done it earlier…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Farmer was a pretty bad example. American farmers have it coming to them and do deserve a punch in the face for overwhelmingly voting Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha! It’s 2026 now. Those problems can easily be ignored as they are all in the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Trump phone just missed another release date⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ROLL A TATTY!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They really should stop hiding them. We all deserve to have access to these secret books that were made up by AI since we all contributed to the training data used to write these secret books.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ‘doorman fallacy’: why careless adoption of AI backfires so easily⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I go to plenty of places don’t have doormen and prefer the experience. Did you read the description of the fallacy? The doorman fallacy is based on c suite execs making a decision that they don’t have personal experience with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ‘doorman fallacy’: why careless adoption of AI backfires so easily⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. But that’s another person I can happily do without

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. I almost feel like many are hungry for something new and different. So much so, that you give them something completely useless like an Ai widget, and they are willing to accept it to scratch an innovation itch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve been really holding back until now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨using a binder clip as a spring instead of 3d printing one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of 3d printing something? What are you the 3d printing antichrist?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ‘doorman fallacy’: why careless adoption of AI backfires so easily⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with the message here, but man does this anology fail with me. Hotel door men are just another pressure point for tipping for service I really don’t want / need 99% of the time. An automatic door and a smart luggage cart that follows me to my room would be much preferred.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a large demand for Teslas in China believe it or not. Very possible this is just motivated by trying to favor Chinese automakers more so than out of genuine safety concerns.
