@bruces fake, doesnt have feathers.

@mhoye @theverge the LLM fuckers want Chrome, because its a legal way to train their world eating shit on everything any user lets it display.

@hellomiakoda uff. That makes this repair.. Interesting.

@hellomiakoda thats hard to do :(
How much is a working ps3 with ps2 compatibility worth these days?

@hellomiakoda why do they inevitably overheat? Is there anything in there that ages badly?

@cstross @Remittancegirl @logomancer @jzillw i have been thinking about this:
Has anyone heard people talk about how to prevent this thing happening again?

What would need to be changed to prevent a future takeover in this fashion?

Is it just too early for people to consider this?

And

Would credible measures to prevent this restore faith?

@gamingonlinux i think you can sort all of humanity in those 2 categories.

@siege check out the children drinks aisle. You'll find something there if you stay clear of anything that says "bio" on it.

@bruces 1) holy cow, that's scary.
2) customers are needed because AI don't have money.

@graydon the Euro can be the new reserve currency.
I'm sure we (europe) would appreciate this very much if it comes with all the perks the dollar enjoyed so far. :)

@ErikUden übermittlungssperre?
Interessant, wie geht das?
Zufällig ein link zur Hand?

@fribbledom told you so.
(Well, not you specifically, but everyone who would listen, not to buy a bambu)

@nikunashi @pluralistic
4) i imensely enjoy listening to narration by wil Wheaton
5) i want wil Wheaton to continue to narrate audiobooks.

@sinituulia i can offer you the hand sewing task of modifying the pockets of 2 pairs of trousers so the phone doesnt fall out every damn time i sit down.
The fashion war on trouser pockets seems to have reached menswear now.

(Disclaimer: not really offering the task, I'm looking forward to doing it myself, this has just been an opportunity to complain about dumb pocket designs.)

@sinituulia i actually almost always wear vest-like jacketpulloverthing (i like to be able to just open the zipper for optimal temperature management :) ) but having a phone in its pocket is annoying, modern phones are just too large and solid to carry in a pocket that can "flap about".

I have to admit It's nice to have a computer in your pocket at all times, but fashion needs to go with the times and offer phone pockets, like the small pockets that evolved in suits to carry pocket watches.

@Alon @Radaghaz @mekkaokereke would you trust a random exit poll worker enough to tell them your. *secret by design* choice of vote, if there could be actual physical/monetary/social harm for you if it came out?
I certainly wouldn't.

@foone do you have a Geiger counter?
Maybe check it, just to be sure.... :D

@kevinrns @StillIRise1963 I would suggest instead of "if you use AI" to write "if you pay for AI"
Because every time you use some AI feature and don't pay for it, it costs the criminals money.
And eventually they will run out (and more importantly, look like idiots)

@GossiTheDog wait wait wait...
Did I just read a press release from a ransomware group written in corporate speak?

@mcc "oh no, I'm not pirating movies! In just using them as training data for my organic LLM in my head."
Someone should try that in court.
