  If you go this route, you’ll be suspect #1 if anyone else ever takes more aggressive defensive measures against the cameras.

  I’d recommend caution. No idea if these things have a built in GPS, but I wouldn’t be surprised considering how easy/cheap it is for electronics hobbyists to add GPS functionality to their projects. Take it home and fire it up and you may potentially be telling the gestapo right where you live.

  Last year, a finance officer at a Singaporean multinational paid out nearly $500,000 to scammers during what he believed was a video call with company leadership.

  My bet is that that is just his very plausible cover story. He’s the one that got the money.

  Its website says the platform will remain “impartial” to political agendas, won’t shadowban users or content, and will “uphold social responsibility.”

  I don’t feel, in this day and age, like you can be politically impartial (i.e. allow fascists to use your platform to spread their propaganda) while simultaneously upholding social responsibility (i.e. not allowing fascists to use your platform to spread their propaganda).

  but instead give us a heap of AI-generated code and say “just put this in.”

  we now have to reverse-engineer the requirements from their crappy AI code.

  It may be time for some malicious compliance.

  Don’t reverse engineer anything. Do as your told and “just put this in” and deploy it. Everything will break and management will explode, but now you’ve demonstrated that they can’t just replace you with AI.

  Now explain what you’ve been doing (reverse engineering to figure out their requirements), but that you’re not going to do that anymore. They need to either give you proper requirements so that you can write properly working code, or they give you AI slop and your just going “put it in” without a second thought. L

  You’ll need your whole team on board for this to work, but what are they going to do, fire the whole team and replace them with AI? You’ll have already demonstrated that that’s not an option.

  Predatory features should not come with a warning for young users. They should be banned for everyone.

  I didn’t say it changed their point. I said it was pedantic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just pedantic. Those other models were also either trained on human created data, or other models themselves… and those other models… etc etc etc.

  When you go back far enough, it’s all human created data. The person you responded to didn’t spell all of that out because they didn’t need to to make their point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If your interest is in useful prints, I would highly recommend learning FreeCAD and just making your own to solve your own problems.

  Nothing beats the feeling of trying to do something, wishing some tool exists to simplify the process, visualizing what that tool would look like in your own head, designing it yourself, and then watching it (a thing that, as far as you know, has never existed before) get printed into existence for the first time ever.

  …

  And then realizing that your design has some flaws and iterating over multiple versions as you make improvements. 😉

  There are lots of excellent FreeCAD tutorial videos online targeting 3D printing.

  I imagine that the bubble portion is light weight enough, one could put it on the roof of a data center, apartment building, strip mall, etc. That appears to be the piece that takes up the most space.

  Another thought. I wonder if the bubble portion could be oriented vertically, maybe inside a simple enclosure to protect it from wind.
