  I got about a quarter way through the article before realizing that I don’t care in the slightest.

  Granted, it’s only Tuesday, but this is a contender for the most fucked up thing I’ll read this week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you need a back brace to stand up straight, buddy? Because at this point, I am certain you haven’t got a single vertebra.

  Just want to make sure this line gets the attention it deserves.

  Don’t take it personally. There are a million reasons he might not want to use facebook trash anymore. Plus, there was no way for him to be sure that it was really you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ‘doorman fallacy’: why careless adoption of AI backfires so easily⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “doorman fallacy” is a major complaint I’ve had about past managers. I’d say things like “they let Excel manage the business. If there’s a cost without a painfully obvious benefit, it’ll be mindlessly cut. They put zero thought into intangible benefits. That’s why I’m always suspicious of new managers.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve been told for generations that the Democrats are “left”, so many people have accepted it as truth. Repetition is powerful, especially when it’s been going on since before you were born, and your parents and grandparents believe it, too.

  Not enough of us realize that Democrats aren’t “left”; they’re just not as obviously, painfully “right” as Republicans.

  I hate our two-party system.

  I saw one of these things (or something like it) on an episode of Parks and Recreation. I thought the props department had made it. I didn’t realize it actually existed!

  This is something you make for either a close friend or dire enemy. There is no in between.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen too much news involving cowardice and hypocrisy. It’s nice to see someone take a principled stand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like that it’s basing its behaviors on the laws of physics. No messy human language, no opinions, slants, or agendas. AI just isn’t ready (or, possibly, will never be ready) to handle that shit. Plus, it’s not stealing work created by humans under the guise of “training”.

  I assume it still relies on datacenters, which are themselves ethically questionable. Still, this seems to be the “flavor” of AI that I hate the least.

  Was Best Buy paying her a retainer? No? Then she’s gonna go where the work is.

  I haven’t seen the movie, and don’t remember what was said about it. What did the AI get wrong?

  I sleep in an old t-shirt and boxers. Is that 2, 3, or 4?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does EA own any other companies/brands that we should be aware of?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Friday spending raises eyebrows over US economy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have any personal experience, and the story doesn’t go into detail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Friday spending raises eyebrows over US economy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  …consumers shopped at encouraging levels…

  I love the euphemism, but hate the system that makes it necessary.

  Tracy Schuchart, a senior economist at NinjaTrader, called BNPL [Buy Now, Pay Later] the "elephant in the room" of consumer spending, noting high levels of usage among high earners for discretionary purchases and among lower-income groups for essential items.

  PEOPLE SHOULDN’T NEED TO FINANCE ESSENTIAL ITEMS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, Lemmy users generally seem to be more mature (with significant exceptions), but “mature” certainly isn’t a synonym for “smarter”.

  Plus, reddit is SO EASY to make fun of. They might as well reward people with terrible ideas and their most obnoxious users. Spez, for example.

  Hammerhead sharks are unironically one of the coolest animals in existence

  Doctors are trained in using them safely, and in a way that benefits the public. That could make a difference.
