Google AI is a hot sticky mess. Now they're telling people to add glue to pizza, as it took a shitpost from Reddit.

@gamingonlinux it's ok, legal is all over this, and they say that just adding a small print disclaimer somewhere about "Google doesn't guarantee the safety or accuracy of these results" is all that's needed

first time using macOS' built-in VNC server/screen share capability to connect to it from Windows with a VNC viewer for a quick screenshare via Zoom ... and amazed it actually worked just fine. compared to dicking around trying to get Reflector and AirParrot to play ball - which in the end they still didn't

That Microsoft considered protecting DRM content before protecting users in their new keylogger really shouldn’t be shocking, but somehow was. Classic capitalism.

@RobW also...is there any evidence anybody actually asked for this feature? feels like a solution looking for a problem. (also, how dare they decide that my local disk space is theirs for the taking? i don't want a constantly growing storage of screenshots eating up my HD)

The 403 error "The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it" always makes me laugh as it implies the server is being belligerent.

They’re right. (So how are they still undecided?)

Undecided voters are concerned that if Donald Trump returns to the White House, he’ll never leave.

another day, another example of how utterly shit Apple Music's search is. once again, it seems that it simply ignores compilation albums when searching your local library. I'm not asking for AI or some other bullshit...just some basic string matching. C'mon Tim Apple, sort this shit out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvWiRr3-Bgw

I'm an agnostic, but I wouldn't bet against Paula Vennells, former Post Office CEO and Anglican priest, suddenly being struck down by a thunderbolt when she goes into the witness stand today.

@brucelawson so even the invisible sky friend only really cares about when people get caught and publicly called out. otherwise he'd have thunderbolted her at the time. what a hypocrite!

So an founder leaves:

Its risk team was disbanded:

After team leaders left due to safety concerns:

it's certainly ballsy for to unashamedly go for the "i'd wank to Scarlet's voice so hard!" techno-incel market

also, good job Sam Altman for disintegrating all that goodwill he received (unwarranted, in my view) when he made his damascene conversion that time warning about the "dangers of AI". clearly, it was all a bullshit facade, like most of us predicted...

@brucelawson nothing against artisanal wanking. craft wank.

As a child of the 80s who was into Transformers and had a G1 Optimus (which a friend broke – fume), I should be the target market for this kind of thing. And I probably was, right up until I discovered it costs 80 bucks. For a transforming Hot Wheels 1:64 scale toy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTHh_iXNNjs

patrick_h_lauke,
@patrick_h_lauke@mastodon.social avatar

@craiggrannell at first i thought "oh well, 80 quid sounds reasonable for the 'now in their 40s-50s with disposable income' nostalgia market" ... and then I saw the actual size of the toy. what the hell? sure, it's metal and sturdy, but that price tag is wild for what is essentially a complex fidget toy
