I don’t think the Apple one at least is any kind of AI/LLM, just a message that plays asking you to state who you are and your reason for calling, then it shows a transcript on the phone ringing alert for you to decide if you want to answer or not.

Even if you had wires on both ends of the pole, nothing would go into the person because the path of least resistance would be the pole. You would have to energize the pole and directly connect the person to the other wire in order to complete the circuit. Then the resistance of the human body becomes an issue, and using this paper as a reference, the worst case scenario of internal body resistance is ~300 ohm, and the threshold for immediate cardiac symptoms is ~100 mA.
Then, 12V / 300 ohm = 40 mA. So closer than I’d like, but probably not fatal even in the absolute worst case scenario where there is no electrical resistance provided by the skin and a direct electrical path through the heart.

The image is a poorly executed FDM 3D print stylized version of the image Wikipedia image I posted, and metal 3D printing costs much more than the few cents quoted in the tweet.
Even if you were to 3D print the nut in metal, it wouldn’t be as strong as the machined original due to porosity and such, and being as that is the nut that holds the helicopter rotors to the helicopter, making it weaker would be very ill advised.

It’s not necessarily the case with everyone. If it smells fine, who cares? Some days I get a little sweaty and only get one wear. Other days not so much, so I can get a few days.
- Comment on Price gouging 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but this has been posted a couple times before, and people always act like it’s real. Instead of responding to any of the folks here, I figured I’d just make my own comment.

12 V is not enough to pass through unbroken skin, yes. But 12V has plenty to pass through some bolts and heat up enough to burn your house down.
You may be interested in StyroPyro’s video where he wired 100 car batteries in parallel. Still 12V, but huge current capacity.
- Comment on It's a "patience" building exercise? 3 weeks ago:
Most likely contacting their state’s department of labor and filing a complaint. However, I don’t know what kind of timeline they run on or how likely they are to actually sort the issue state-by-state.

Stevens-Johnson isn’t specific to nsaids, it’s been linked to lots of drugs, but more commonly certain antibiotic or anticonvulsant classes. Extremely rare though, around 5 cases in a million person-years.

Oh, you know, I didn’t even realize you replied to yourself.

Okay, so you’re saying that although the editor made a mistake or was biased, but unlike a lot of other resources, they have to show their sources, so if you care to look, you can see if it is true?
If so, I think that makes sense.

How is it not? Genuine question, I use wiki a lot, and generally trust the articles, though I have seen some inaccuracies before.

I simply don’t pick them up. They seems to like it on the ground.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 2 months ago:
I agree it has a bad taste because of the historical power structure, but it’s honestly similar to this. Some languages just look funny to English speakers since they are partially mutually intelligible.
- Comment on Identifying a robbery suspect 2 months ago:
Yeah I really hope we figure out some metadata, chain of custody, or something cool like this structured lighting idea to clearly identify real and fake images and video soon.
- Comment on Identifying a robbery suspect 2 months ago:
I thought the same, but it’s definitely Sora-generated
- Comment on Identifying a robbery suspect 2 months ago:
Yeah, a pretty common prompt it looks like. I gotta be more on the lookout for this crap.
