AI image generation is going to royally fuck up the body image for a lot of people. We’re going to get to a point where we can no longer discern between reality or fantasy.

People will get a handle on voice generation AI so that they can make the person they secretly obsess over, tell them all sorts of things without their knowledge. It can also be used to impersonate a relative or friend for phone scams.

AI glasses are going to do facial recognition on people without their knowledge, and some creepy motherfuckers are going to use it to stalk women. The AI will give you info on some historic building, while simultaneously making you a surveillance tool for the state.

AI bots are already flooding every platform and being used to spread propaganda. They are the employees that never sleep. We all know how widespread they are on Reddit.

This is a window into the future with AI in the hands of sociopaths and corporations. They are going to doom us to a world that is devoid of a soul or human connection.

There’s also the massive tax breaks rich folks receive for donations.

Get a rice cooker with a timer.

This! My wife and I got a fancy Japanese rice cooker that will keep rice warm for hours. Comes out perfect every time and it’s a vehicle for all kinds of delicious things. Eggs, tofu, chicken, all sorts of veggies and sauces.

It can’t self-correct, write new curriculum, etc. It’s an abyss for errors and it does not understand when you correct it. I’ve tried and watched it give me the same alternating 2 answers that I told it were both wrong. If it’s wrong, you basically have no idea. You’re putting trust in a navigator that is simply reading instructions and understanding none of them.

I’ve been in tech professionally for around 18 years and have lived through trends and changes. This is by far the worst one and the most haphazard. I’m not anti-AI (I use Copilot at work and it’s constantly wrong), but what is happening now with this AI wave is just reckless. They’re throwing it at everything because shareholders love shiny new things that make line go up.

>claims to care deeply about its employees

>replaces some employees with bots

Duolingo is talking out of both sides of their mouth.

That’s part of why the AirReps community formed on Reddit. To vet and report back on various ones.

The US thrives on negativity 24/7. Its tiresome.

At least we got some wild videos out of that I guess? Peak internet days.

I have a Rove camera I got a few years ago. I want to get a second one for the back (I guess they sell a dual kit now).

All I can say is invest in 4k vehicle cameras. Get one facing one and one facing the rear. CYA for when these self-driving Teslas start crashing into everything.

The fuck are you on about?

“You are required to let me fuck you over! You are not allowed to resist it or find alternative means!” 🖕

OpenAI is like a zombie stumbling around trying to infect everything. We shove it away because it’s fuckin’ gross and we want nothing to do with it, while the bosses that reanimated it are like “well fuck, we made this thing, we have to use it for something.”

It made me mad too which is why I quit and moved on.

I used to work for a company that made most of its money from shitty ad pages you get if you type a url wrong and you’d be shocked to see their monthly Google revenue. It’s in the millions.

I chose to stop supporting a fascist wannabe with my wallet and moved all of my sites to Render. Vercel shouldn’t be blocked with such a reckless move and LaLiga is wrong, but I’ve washed my hands of letting the other stuff slide.

Ah my hero. Thanks!

How do you find spaces/communities to join?

Here’s the CEO of Vercel kissing Trump’s ass.

Maybe he can ask daddy Trump to help fix things (actually, Trump would probably revoke his citizenship and deport him).

Yeah, my dad was a carpenter and always picked a van over a truck any day.
