I fucking hate Discord. Probably gonna get a lot worse if they do go with the indexing plans.

That said, Discord is the place I had previously gotten stuff from that I couldn’t get anywhere else, and in a neat all-in-one installer package, too.

Don’t wanna dox myself, but yea, but only technically and marginally. I had lead a less healthy lifestyle a few years ago, which, when thought back of, really feels like an older age due to lower body inflexibilities and back pain.

Leave two bullshitters in a room and they come up with this lol

There’s no way “Paddy” explains the disastrous results to Patel, who’s gonna be real mad at the end of these 24 months, if not sooner, wondering where all the money went and where’s the ROI.

Truly the rule of dumb.

Discomfort can be so great for you! Or maybe it’s too much comfort leading to greater downsides - not sure.

A while ago, I was stuck in a situation where I had to use a backless chair for a week or so. I found myself switching positions and stretching and taking breaks more often, and how it actually led to less fatigue at the end of the day, both mental and physical. Then I tried expanding it to another experiment I had tried years back: floor-sitting, but not with my back towards a wall or a heavy piece of furtniture, with something in-between for comfort - I just set up my laptop where it was most convenient and relied on my back and legs to do the support, still taking breaks and stretching. In no time, I noticed a lot more flexibility in my legs and spine, and the morning back pain was just gone, like it was never there! Of course, initially there was discomfort, and there still is if I don’t listen my body, but overall, I feel so much healthier and lighter and more capable than my peers - especially those going to the gym and buying ergonomic PC/gaming/office chairs and such.

So I’m probably very biased towards that headline.

I’m still rocking a Pascal GPU from Nvidia. Shit’s not even officially supported driver-wise anymore, but it’s only getting more dear to me, especially with all the news.

“The data we share is navigational data used to make sidewalks safer for all users,” the Coco spokesperson continued. “For example, we provide real-time sidewalk hazard information to BlindSquare, a navigation app built for people who are blind or have low vision. …"

It’s always for someone’s safety, for fuck’s sake, even if doesn’t make any sense. Always some vile argument that, when refuted, makes you the inconsiderate person who doesn’t think of others’ safety.

Very surprised to read about blind people being the excuse this time, not children.

If you can’t make the decision for yourself, especially such a inconsequential one, probably just rolle the dice or something. It can even be fun when you define multiple criteria and roll of each, ending up doing something that you already might have anyway, because it’s in your pool, but there’s still kind of discovery here, like you stumble upon something from your own collection.

The senile presidents, ministers, MPs and other officials are salivating so hard right now.

What you’re describing is exactly what I’m wondering. Maybe I’m just not too deep into the topic, but it seems so arbitrary to me that they went with the whole isolation thing in the first place for no reason that I can see, other than the “oh no, it’s hacking stuff!” narrative being pre-planned and orchestrated for.

In other words, I am siding with the accusations of this whole wave of “AI” suddenly hacking into stuff, with different models from different companies wondrously doing the same thing one after another, being a publicity stunt that one company started and others, as they do, copying just to stay relevant.

Although I feel like maybe I’m going Chuck McGill here because I am very biased.

Am I just stupid for not believing that any of the models actually did any of that on their own? I feel like the companies behind them start claiming crazy shit like this every time people start questioning “AI” more and/or losing interest. Isn’t that how OpenAI dropped Sora amidst the dwindling hype to keep the investors hooked? Now it’s back to scary stories about “AI” being so good and advanced that it’s about to hack everything and what, actually think for itself?

There is no X big enough for me to press to doubt this enough.

I really like the last sentence. The implication that he’s not firing everyone regardless is hilarious!
