I would laugh if that’s the toilet for the lemon people

From the teeny thumbnail, I can tell that’s Technology Connections, and Alex is great for deep dives into random bits of tech.

Anyone interested in pinball machines can find a 3 part series on them, and its sooooo much fun to watch

I guess I can answer this, because I work in IT and that gives me the opportunity to feel smarter than people regularly. And despite also feeling like a moron regularly, the curse of competence tells me the imposter syndrome is bullshit.

I’ve called doing dishes ‘food laundry’ on multiple occasions

The ones around me have a big old mute button and I’ve gotten into the habit of hitting that button as gas starts to flow so I don’t hear more than a second or two of whatever garbage they’re playing

It kinda looks like goatse.

If you’re not sure what that is, you have to decide if you want that cursed knowledge.

Having an office job means I can do both, since I can’t make my work machine run linux

Why learn ffmpeg when you can find the holy words that invokes the machine spirits transmutation codex and write them on your data slate to be used again later?

Oh, right there with you, it was one of many programs he continued that absolutely should have been stopped, much like the drone program. My comment was more aimed at the fact that the right cared about the gun running scandal (because they could lie by omission and blame Obama for it), but other items they couldn’t be blamed on Obama so they kept their mouths shut about it.

What a fucking sad state of affairs that Obama is one of the best presidents of my lifetime, but at this point the bar is low enough that subway tunnels have no worries about ever coming in under it. But considering the only other 2 Democrat administrations in my lifetime caused a rightward shift that wasn’t mainly based on racism (Clinton’s third way, Biden doing fuck all about the new ANP), that says so fucking little. But, finding any reason to push America towards Daddy Prescott’s vision from back in the early-mid 1900s is all they’re about.

And it tends to be a specific kind of power… white power

He was black, and dared to be president. The mustard/tan suit shit was just the racist right finding things to be upset about.

Also @Zagorath@aussie.zone, there’s your basic answer.

And let me guess, it was all Obama’s fault, no mention that it was started under dubya?

it had hoped its original safety principles “would encourage other AI companies to introduce similar policies.

This is exactly why self regulation is bullshit. Even if one company decides to do the right thing (and that’s kinda arguable here as you pointed out), plenty of other companies won’t handcuff their ability to profit, no matter the ethical implications.

How much of that profit less decade was just them reinvesting in their company as opposed to burning money like you’re trapped on Everest and need every bit of heat you can get?

I think you read way more into their comment than was written. They said nothing about transformers, only that these assistants are shit. Which, let’s admit, they are.

The underlying technology is cool, current implementations are trash and have no long term economical path to viability unless things radically change quickly.

What restrictions did they remove for trump? It already generates CSAM…

Alex Jones is everything he railed against, and all of his bullshit was performative. It’s so satisfying to hear Dan from Knowledge Fight rip his dumbass arguments apart and expose how much he lies and makes up shit.

Give it a few years, I wouldn’t be surprised

RDA was the better Colonel O’Neill

Because the employees fight to keep themselves down and guilt us into helping keep them down. Look at how many people were fighting to make tips tax free instead of just paying people more.
