Which perfectly exposes the problems of showing AI slob to people who try to learn and extend their horizons.

On one hand that’s catastrophic and an insult to the art world and art history. On the other hand it’s unsurprising. Does anyone expect google to show relevant top results in this day and age?

I can’t think of a way for this to be legal in the EU by any capacity. I really don’t. They’re essentially claiming they own your likeness just by using their app and I really doubt it’s that simple. It’s kind of like asking for your first born in a readme.txt of a github script. Just because you write something ridiculous doesn’t mean it’s legal.

Not “if” but “when”. They have you and million others on the hook and already plan their next step to extract more money from you.

The article could be from 2022 and I’d be as unsurprised as I am now.

I got premium

Don’t expect things to improve after happily paying consecutive ransoms.

Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.

Nobody wants it and if amazon/google/microsoft/facebook would be honest about what it really does, the overwhelming majority would decline it in a heartbeat. But corporations do what corporations do best and consumers take it with a shrug. And I kind of get it. Life is too short to learn about everything and make the most informed choice on everything. Often you just shrug it off and never really use it.

I like the free stretchies I get from Ctrl+Z on the DE layout.

What happened in 1997 to make that cut anyway? There are several definitions with their own reasoning. For example the popular one I always use just makes every recent generation last 15 years and makes cuts that are easy to remember. It defines GenX to be born until 1980, Millennials until 1995 and GenZ until 2010. If you’re born in one of those split years, you’re basically part of two generations, though you’re free to feel more attached to one generation over the other. Not that it matters too much anyway. In the end of the day it’s just a time frame to quickly phrase what age group you’re roughly talking about.

You would think they know how to use a browser but in reality they only use apps. TikTok being their preferred search engine speaks volumes.

I’ve lost to faith in several self proclaimed leftists over this that I have followed (not on Twitter) for years. They cannot let go of what they have “built for themselves” there and refuse to accept their own actions have consequences when they wear their blue checkmark with pride like storm troops wore their swastikas back in the 1930s. Everything is a class struggle except when it would impact them. Then it conveniently becomes a mere transaction between them and a provider and you shouldn’t think too much about it because it benefits them. And if it benefits them, it benefits the cause, right? Right???

Welp, it was ‘fun’ while it lasted. Time for everyone to adjust their expectations to much more humble levels than what was promised and move on to the next sceme. After Metaverse, NFTs and ‘Don’t become a programmer, AI will steal your job literally next week!11’, I’m eager to see what they come up with next. And with eager I mean I’m tired. I’m really tired and hope the economy just takes a damn break from breaking things.

I mean I like the idea of magnetic buttons because buttoning up can be a bit of a hassle and this sounds like a decent-enough solution. Don’t care about changing sleeve lengths and the like either.

They’re merely raking in slightly less massive profits compared to last year. They could probably make up for it by simply not paying out massive bonuses for higher ups, but we all know they’ll cut jobs instead unless they get that sweet tax payer money. Greedy scumbags.

Interesting idea but I fear magnets might have unintended side effects to phones and wearable electronics like headphones.

Huh. I never realized the absolute irony of this statement until now.

Tanzania and Zambia about to join the “going to find out about Chinese colonialism the hard way” club. Corruption is cancer to any society.

No one is completely living outside the US. No one. Especially big elections concern everyone on the globe to some degree. It’s also simply interesting, although sometimes in a morbid way.

That being said, if you’re into politics in the first place, the one in your own country should have the higher priority in my opinion. I’m saying this because I know non-Americans who concern themselves more with American politics (it’s flashier and social media is so full of it, it’s easy to fall down that rabbit hole) than those of their own country. I think that’s a problem because it distracts them from problems they face in their own backyards that they might not even be aware of.

None of what you said is even related to the one trillion (and rising) debt in any way. Why don’t you stay focused on the argument but instead dump random facts into the discussion?

By the way you literally just have to type “china highspeed rail debt” in any search engine of your choice and get bombarded with facts about it. Why didn’t you even try?
