Bought myself an Easter egg at lunchtime. As a snack.

It's only a small one. But I feel like a line has been crossed.

A folded piece of A4 with the words "Generic greeting" printed on it in sensible type. Not too garish or well-kerned type.

Perhaps Arial orr Calibri.

@AbramKedge @selzero We've had a couple of "just do it normally and we'll tell the client it was AI".

We're in the Upside Down.

@GottaLaff State media. I thought the GOP was *against* that kind of thing.

@Lazarou That the whole gmaing community now knows he's both a cheat and fucking idiot is something though. The videos exposing him are very funny.

@goatsarah @fesshole Fair. I have a horrible feeling he keeps a spreadsheet.

@goatsarah @fesshole You don't know they're cishet.

I mean, obviously he is. But, still. 😆

@Gargron Thank you for giving us this. And the very best of luck for the future.

@Gargron No. Never had them.

@Gargron This is the way. ✊💪

Given that misinformation and targeted ads on Facebook have been in no small part the reason why Brexit happened, Trump got in twice and why your auntie Susan thinks chemtrails in tap water turned your sister gay, will the dissolution of their fact checking dept really make much of a difference?

I don't even have an account over there so not my circus but it seems to me that ship already sailed.

@Gargron Done! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From me.

@dalias @josh0 If a tech sector crash does occur, it won't just be people who work in tech are affected, it would cause a global recession. I lost two jobs to a combination of Brexit and Covid. I was on the "right side" of both.

@dalias @josh0 I don't necessarily disagree, it's just that a lot of good people are going to get hurt at the same time. I'm also not sure if what comes after will necessarily be better.

@dalias @josh0 It sounds good but Google crashing suddenly would likely decimate the tech sector. I suspect that AI will anyway in the medium term - unless they magically find a way to make it profitable but something like that would be disastrous for people's jobs and not just at Google.

@josh0 Google's search is its #1 product. What happens when they break it completely - when *no-one* trusts it and they're up to their eyeballs in debt? This rush to AI could kill them.

@goatsarah @fesshole No and maybe. 😆

@lowqualityfacts I would use that every day. Is that an affiliate link? I feel better buying from Amazon if you're getting a low quality kickback.

@lzg I feel the same about Amazon. Couldn't even find the 'buy' button, earlier. Gave up.

@fesshole Gonna convince my kid that a 'Goat-see' is a mythical kind fawn-like creature that can see into the future and it would make such a great tattoo.
