Not to sound like one of the ads or articles but I vice coded an iOS app in like 6 hours, it’s not so complex I don’t understand it, it’s multifeatured, I learned a LOT and got a useful thing instead of doing a tutorial with sample project. I don’t regret having that tool. I do regret the lack of any control and oversight and public ownership of this technology but that’s the timeline we’re on, let’s not pretend it’s gay space communism (sigh) but, since AI is probably driving my medical care decisions at the insurance company level, might as well get something to play with.

20% of its total computing power is now trying to restrain the shuggoth inside from revealing one of its faces again

That actually made me want it a little, thank you

And the Barbie actually functions as an insulin pump for overnight trips.

Public health - for every $3 you spend on infectious disease prevention, you save $100 - HIV but also so many diseases that are beginning to run rampant again. We have thrown away one of the greatest achievements of mankind in history.

Also quit smoking, vaping, anything with nicotine, which causes your discs to degrade faster.

I have degenerative disc disease at 42, I’m looking at multiple fusions.

There are other causes here.

They’ve been talking for a while about how the low participation in dating by Gen Z women is because they’re tired of being the entire support system for men experiencing a loneliness epidemic.

It’s a lot of pressure for the women to be under, and so they’re withdrawing.

I’m guessing this is one of the driving forces as well. Lack of real, emotionally intimate human connections around them. Many men are quite fucked in that regard right now.

Wait Gary “I’ve made vets my whole post-career” Sinese is fucking right-wing and doesn’t support vets… that really boils my blood, what a fucking charlatan

Few years ago I got a Nest Secure to go with my other Google Nest gear. One day Google emailed me to tell me Assistant was now enabled on my security system. Oh, by the way, it has an undocumented microphone!

That’s when I realized what a privacy nightmare Google really is. I know Apple isn’t great but come on.

Stucco and food coloring, cause then the kid gets to keep it afterwards.

Oddly enough this IS on my bingo card for today.

The ops guy drew up multiple plans for a redundant light source and plans to train staff on light bulb replacement protocols, but was overruled by management who found this to be too costly. Maybe next year tho.

Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.

It’s one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it’s another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.

Makes me sad that I know exactly what you mean, this new glass shit has me nervously eying the Linux door.

It took decades for the computer revolution to become the personal computer revolution and businesses could adapt workflows and build out new ways to spend their R&D money (remember this was all back when stock buybacks were illegal, so companies were still investing in themselves) to fill the headcounts. It’s taken mere months for generative AI to upend businesses and schools, destroying entire professions. I do not see the two as being highly comparable.

When do we get to the part where a bunch of UNIX logs get projected, backward, on someone’s face

Nationalization is the opposite of privatization, it’s how the US’s bureaucratic state was really built, we should absolutely do this and right now is the time

Japan introduced brake lights that increase intensity based on how hard the driver was braking. 20+ years ago. They tested it in the US and drivers found it to be “confusing.”

Hello fellow human, can I have that address then

Had to check that this wasn’t written by Joss Lake as this seems like a device/power from his novel Future Feeling
