Man walking out of a destroyed public toilet: I will no longer use public toilets.

And touch grass like some kind of freak?? You’ll have to fight me 🔪

Does that make it dangerous to log in persistently anywhere, period, in case you click on a shady link? I legitimately don’t know much and trust common sense prevention (run sites through virus total if I’m not familiar with them) and built in protection to do most of it, and I haven’t had any known password thefts from anything other than servers getting hacked. I do have an authenticator app and use it on really important stuff (government, school) but that’s about it.

The Wired article linked by the OP article mentions visiting multiple banks in a week as suspicious behavior that gets flagged… if we had a car (assuming it needs a license plate to attach to you and look up info), that would have pinged my spouse last week. Stupid fucks live in such ivory towers that they’ve never had a bank run out of quarters for the washing machine.

Can you elaborate on this?

Lmfao, .corn sounds like an instance someone would spin up to compete with lemmy.beans

Instead of typing a prompt and getting a response, Dazzle has users snap a photo as the starting point and lets the agent point to what it thinks the next course of action should be. “Snap a picture of a purchase you’ve been thinking about, a flat tire, or fridge ingredients, and Dazzle buys on approval, schedules repairs, or suggests recipes,” the company says.

Finally, what we really needed: ChatGPT for people too lazy to type a prompt

Because they were trespassed

Maybe you can stop repeating this now that the PD is contradicting your claims?

The family told officers the game was over and they were leaving. Police described the family as cooperative and said officers provided an event number at the family’s request.

The department characterized the incident as a civil matter, not a criminal one.

“No one was arrested, trespassed, or forced to leave the park,” the department said.

Sounds like you wasted a valuable opportunity to teach your kid they can get what they want by calling the cops on anyone who hurts their feelings.

You have been reading much longer haikus than I have 😜

MISSISSIPPI. GODDAM.

USA, so kind of a mixed bag. We got rapid data center build up, but the backlash to it has been strong. Almost every state has at least one city/county level government banning new construction, and many states are looking at bans as well.

Seems like people are doing pretty well on action where I am, given how many states have banned/put a moratorium on data center construction.

Oh damn now that you mention it I guess people that live near data centers do deserve to live in an environment full of pollution for that.

Anyone that was against combine harvesters because they would lead to massive deforestation and environmental pollution would have been on the money, though. Modern agribusiness is a nightmare.

Even with those problems, making more food inherently has more value than “I can spend less time on office emails”.

I’m against AI for two main reasons: it’s a giant plagiarism machine built on the theft of the labor of millions, and it has disastrous environmental consequences in the form of rapid, giant data center deployment. (No, I am not impressed by whining about how all the internet uses data centers, build out and energy consumption remained modest until about 4 years ago). These are fundamental problems with the current implementation of the technology and I see no realistic way to change that, so I don’t see myself ever using it even if I did find it useful, which I don’t.

The only thing I’ve ever cared to have an “AI” do for me is answer incredibly niche questions that would take ages to figure out on my own, or require tracking down really obscure books, etc. But the nature of LLMs being ‘guess the next statistically most likely word’ means that it’s never going to be good for that. I can read on my own, I can write my own emails, and since I’m not a programmer I’m not stupid enough to fuck with code I don’t understand to do something a solution probably already exists for, if all the unmaintained vibe coded garbage hasn’t drowned it out. I don’t want a machine deciding what search results to show me, so I don’t use it as a search engine. I guess if I did more work with data it could maybe format it for me when I needed to make changes, but that would require trusting it not to randomly change parts of the data (which I don’t). So yeah, useless for me.

Truly deranged mid-80s wear on display, thanks for the link!

I’m not arguing that it was fine to vote Trump, that’s a side issue. I’m saying if they did vote Trump, why wouldn’t you want them to regret it? How is it better that 90%+ of the boomer Trump voters don’t regret it? Regret is going to affect the voting of at least some of them down the line, and not regretting it changes nothing.

If you’ve never made a vote you regretted at 18-25 I’m happy for you. Isn’t it better that they regret their vote than not regret it?

The youngest Zs were 4 during the first Trump term. And couldn’t vote in 2024, but there are plenty of people who would have been children in his first term and then came of age under Biden. So less short term memory and more ‘I was too young to be politically conscious’.
