I mean, Facebook already requires ID in many cases. https://www.facebook.com/help/159096464162185/

You’re required to prove your age in a bunch of real life scenarios too, like buying alcohol, tobacco, or a firearm.

It is a privacy issue, but the question is on the balance is the privacy concern worse than the harms being done by youth on social media?

Given that there are literally hundreds of university studies showing how bad this shit is for kids, and leaked internal documents from the social media companies themselves, I think it’s the better choice at the moment.

The same way Australia is doing it, a big fine for companies that don’t comply and add an age verification process to sites.

Will it work 100%? No

Will it work enough? Probably

Fucking epic

It’s only not happening because companies aren’t going to do it on their own, the government needs to force it to happen, and the people need to force the government.

I automate business processes across multiple industries (not using AI currently)

My retirement fund looks crap, I’m worried about all of this too but it’s still a terrible idea to try to retain a job when it’s no longer necessary. Just tax the company a little bit less than they saved, and pay people to go enjoy their lives.

You won’t even notice when it’s done right. We’re still in early days at the moment where you can actually tell.

You have fun checking the fine print on every future game just to make sure they haven’t used it.

While we’re at it, we should also go after all the car companies for putting so many horse stables out of business. IBM for putting computers (this was a job title for humans before it was done by machine) out of jobs.

and a million other situations where technology has replaced a particular type of worker

There’s zero chance this catches on, nobody wants to get rid of a camera bump badly enough to carry around a second device.

War

Everyone should get off X, I stopped using it the moment that Muskrat bought it. It wasn’t great before, but it’s turned into an absolute dumpster fire now.

I just use Photopea https://www.photopea.com/ instead. It does everything I need, and I don’t need to install anything.

I just use Chat-GPT, I also have the capability to write my own formulas, but especially for more complex or repetitive formulas it’s faster.

Here’s one for PowerApps I asked it to extend

Patch(Timesheets, LookUp(Timesheeets, ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID), {DataString:Concatenate(TextInput1.Text, “;”,TextInput2.Text, “;”, TextInput3.Text, “;”, TextInput1_1.Text, “;”,TextInput2_1.Text, “;”, TextInput3_1.Text, “;”, TextInput1_2.Text, “;”,TextInput2_2.Text, “;”, TextInput3_2.Text, “;”, TextInput1_3.Text, “;”,TextInput2_3.Text, “;”, TextInput3_3.Text, “;”, TextInput1_4.Text, “;”,TextInput2_4.Text, “;”, TextInput3_4.Text, “;”, TextInput1_5.Text, “;”,TextInput2_5.Text, “;”, TextInput3_5.Text, “;”, TextInput1_6.Text, “;”,TextInput2_6.Text, “;”, TextInput3_6.Text, “;”)}); Refresh(‘Timesheets’);

I just gave it the first bit and two text input fields initially and then asked it to add the remainder for me instead of hitting copy paste and changing the numbers a dozen times.

Probably saved me 5 minutes, but I do this kind of thing fairly regularly so it’s probably saving me a half-hour to an hour per week on formulas alone.

I use it all the time to write Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerApps formulas. I use it to draft and re-write e-mails. I use it to come up with ideas and brainstorm.

Or it’s just to show off the joint rotational abilities the thing is capable of compared to the hydraulic limitations that were part of Atlas.

Or both…

Boston Dynamics’ videos seem to make us disbelieve a lot, but so far it’s all been real.

The word you’re looking for is adoption, not adaptation.

I will literally build my own printer before ever subscribing to this bullshit.

Go fuck yourself hp, you are not as important as you think you are.

The instance would likely just act as a regular instance and allow normal users on, you couldn’t even tell they were using it to scrape data at that point.

During testing, sure… That’s not going to be the long term value.
