- Comment on Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes 2 days ago:
Tbf, I didn’t read the article. But the title mentions “controversy.” Also are people so lazy they can’t make up their own fake quotes? Was AI really needed here?

- Comment on Is spreading. 1 week ago:
This is funny. You’re getting heavily downvoted because it’s criticizing Linux. I don’t actually agree with the sentiment. Though I get how people might have that perception. Still, this is funny.

It’s happening right now in this thread. Which I pretty much expected as soon as I saw the OP pic.
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 1 week ago:
Was going to add “Gee Whiz” which comes before that one? Like it got shorter, then it got longer again?

And that’s what they innovated. Anyone can make a website that sells shit. They innovated the supply chain, storage, shipping and delivery.

The intermediate step is “Jeez.”
- Comment on Meta Employee Deleted 9TB of Torrented Files, Adult Film Producers Claim 1 week ago:
From the article, the 9tb are related to the other case, which is about book data.
Meta’s response that this is personal use is actually a pretty good argument. This case mentions something like 157 downloads over the last seven years. That does sound like it could be random employees. Plausibly.
But wouldn’t their IT infrastructure block random employees from running torrents on the network? If it was company directed, wouldn’t they use like a VPN from some regular common VPN provider so that this all looked like some random Joe downloading porn rather than Meta? It does mention they allegedly have some “secret” IPs on AWS, which is also funny to me.

I like to lick them. It’s not like a huge must, but if my face happens to be in that area and the arm happens to be raised to allow access, eh why not.

- Comment on Until further notice: archive.today/archive.is/archive.ph/... is banned from this community for apparently being a Russian DDOS tool - Lemmy.World 1 week ago:
I’m with you on this, but let’s be careful here.
We all know Russia sucks in a litany of ways, but one way it doesn’t suck is that it is one of the few countries left that has really thrown all caution to the wind and absolutely said “fuck it” in terms of respecting the international Big Copyright norms as promoted by and deeply influenced by the USA copyright cabal (RIAA/MPAA).
I once made a YouTube video which somehow included a clip from some RT Russian TV bullshit show. (The show was in fact a direct ripoff of Gordon Ramsey’s Hell Kitchen, for which I’m sure they did not get license for.)
Some fucking Russian troll bots then DMCA’d my YouTube video, for using their clip, even though it was clearly “fair use” in US jurisdiction, and YouTube happily sucked their russian dicks and flagged and removed my video.
And my video had probably 15 views, like it wasn’t a big thing.
So they aren’t exactly the Robin Hood of free speech.

Maybe some of them just show up in masks with their mallninjashit, and they’re not on the payroll and no one asks if they did the two week training.
- Comment on Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich 1 week ago:
Even when I was a kid, in the 80s and 90s, I spent plenty of time playing NES, computer and watching TV. This was of course long before social media.
I don’t see how you could possibly limit a kid to 1.5 hr screen time per week. How do we define screen time? If it’s only social media on phones or tablets, then that’s probably okay. But if you are including console, computer gaming, tv, then I don’t see how that’s even possible. (And of course now most games have an online component, so the line gets blurry there.)
It’s the shitty “social” aspect of online that is harming children, not the concept of a screen.

It’s sad, but I don’t think there’s much else that can be done. I guess it’s all running how the CCP wants it now? (Or are there still protests we just don’t hear about?)
