Prompt: you are my horny waifu and we are sexting
Grok: send nudes

Kid: mom, i swear, i was asking about soccer!!!

i hate elon musk as much as the next guy, but i’ve used grok… sure it has all kinds of obvious biases, but it won’t just go off the rails unprompted

Car dependency is a ($50k + OpEx) tax you pay to the auto industry…

maybe if we frame it as a tax, people will hate it more

they have an obligation to reach as much of the populace as possible…

Then their responsibility is to broadcast important information over an open medium that doesnt require registration, and isnt owned and controlled by a foreign adversary

I have the same issues with my gov’t at all levels. So annoying.

Cyclist is a dentist riding a SirVélo

Lol… people downvoting stanford university

Lemmy is a wild place… left wing maga, i guess

but super fast.

that’s already making an “impossible” into a “possible”… and in my books, that’s a useful tool if you take all the value judgements out of it.

My parents also said the same thing about electronic music

“it’s not real music, the computer makes it!”

every new technology that lowers the barrier of entry gets derided every time. Tale as old as time.

Every new technology that enables more of the masses to participate will obviously mean more low quality stuff gets made. That doesnt mean the tool is worthless.

Is there a lot of AI slop art? Of course there is… but i hate these anti-AI extremists (especially concentrated in the fediverse) that reject ANYTHING that has even touched AI to be worthless.

“oh what a nice picture… wait what? The artist filled in one corner with AI? it’s total trash!”

I dont really consider those plastics sticks to be even “semi-protected”… they wont slow down a golf cart, nevermind a driver who’s texting and driving into the bike lane

the underground crossing has been closed and pedestrians are finally allowed to cross on the surface level

Winnipeg is one of the most carbrained places on earth

For the last 40 years pedestrians were not allowed to cross their main downtown intersection until THIS SUMMER

Which is a shame because it’s quite beautiful if it werent blighted by cars. The irony is that the city’s prosperity in the past was based on it’s strategic railway position, and they replaced all the rail and trams with cars.

Isnt the voyager doctor also part of thr holodeck who can somehow walk around outside?

Even on a computer without ad blocker (work laptop, chrome browser)

the number of times i say “nah i don’t need to see that” as soon as thes annoying ads comes up before the video…

The decline probably has very little to do with ad blockers.

Exactly…

The reason i run ad blocking at every level isnt to show that i’m too smart for marketing…

It’s because ads work on me… my brain rejects certain ads for sure, and it says “psssshhh, how can people be dumb enough to buy that shit???”… but that doesnt mean i’m too smart for advertising and that it doesnt affect my brain in subtle other ways.

Omg they are so cute!!

Or… live in a place or advocate for a place where spyware cars arent a necessity for simply existing…

When something is 100% required for life, someone WILL exploit it

The pagerank algorithm worked fine for many years in the 2000-2010s before google transitioned into a full time advertising company

And also not wanting to show up at work a sweaty, disgusting mess because you decided to do threshold intervals on the way to work

Although i’ve been told that it’s normal for dutch people to show up at work meetings in various states of wetness like rain or sweat

everyone here seems to be mad.

i’m happy that there is some barrier of entry to adding more horsepower to an already lethal machine. sure, it doesn’t affect rich assholes. but at least some won’t buy it. ideally, nobody buys the feature.

So they are admitting that they cant pilot their vehicle safely…

Remove their licenses, not the bike lanes

All the prior cases from these chatGPT lawyers should be reviewed. What other shortcuts were they taking before? Did an innocent person end up in jail because of some prior negligence?
