Also the supposed AI regulator which is also an AI company said its AI got out and hacked someone and all they had to do was tell it to do that and open all the doors!.

This sounds less like a new exploit or anything to do with AI and just a rewording of the age old problem of companies storing the fucking passwords in plain text and hoping no one notices.

Its kind of exemplary of the post when ‘Can we not support literal genocide’ is some kind of excessively puritanical ask though.

People were just really dumb about boiler explosions for a long time. Missisipi river boats for example had a period where maintenance was almost non-existant and they were almost always overloaded with passengers/cargo but the inevitable boiler explosions were considered to be acts of god. Huge disconnect between the people making the boilers and the people using them.

Yeh, admittedly I have a lot more experience with blender than 3DS Max, but from performance differences alone I’m pretty sure if Max released today without its massive pre-existing industry adoption it would be laughed out of the room.

Blender is an alternative to 3DS Max in the same way an actual car is an alternative to flintstoning a burnt out wreck. Even in college a lot of our very basic rendering exercises with Max got the whole grade just on demonstrating correct setup because the software is so prone to crashing or taking 20h to do what most alternatives (paid or free) can do in 20 minutes.

But it’s also incredibly fucked up that you have to censor yourself in basically all public forums (including just being outside in many places) just incase a person or bot accidentally or maliciously interprets what you said as arrest worthy. Controlling speech is the first step to controlling thought.

If the goal is no one more educated than Trump I presume they’ll have to start going after pigs, crows and dolphins at some point.

It really feels like the options are:

• Bubble bursts because it requires more money than the entire global economy not too at this point.
• Total regulatory capture and we just somehow keep it going forever to the detriment and gradual decay of literally everything else.

Aren’t microsoft products half vibe coded at this point anyway? Look at all these fires I put out, says fireman with trunk full of flares and gasoline.

This is why I occasionally send close friends obviously stupid messages with a ton of keywords, to throw some more noise into the surveillance aperatus.

• Some guy sawing off the branch of the tree he’s goddamn sitting on.

Bumped up the price sure but to 100 billion!? Its got to be the most expensive public works project on a per mile basis in human history, probably by a few orders of magnitude.

We left the door open and told our dog to go outside and it did! Look at what an amazing escape artist our dog is!

HS2 is clearly just a deliberate money pit at this point, there’s no other reason a relatively short line like that could out cost the entire EU wide rail refurbishment project by a factor of almost 2.

I’ve started using libre-wolf, I know its firefox dependant but at least if it breaks its because they didn’t sell out. Also doesn’t shove AI in my face every few days.

Yet another reason firefox is now relegated to being my second browser (a spot previously ocupied by edge)

Damn that’s around 1% of the entire global GDP…

Eh its still a win, a large scale test cast for a still fairly unproven technology is bound to provide some useful information.

Also the magic fruit seems kinda like actual sapience by todays standards? Pretty great thing to have.
