Just… four quotes deep with zero added information every time. Is this what people enjoy? Someone reporting something, and then three influencers quote-posting saying “this.” or the equivalent? What garbage.

They talk more about the various ways to prep plates for a dishwasher and not the canonical question, but it’s clear that (by their definition) a dishwasher is not a robot.

The Underground Railroad was also illegal. But we obviously celebrate it today.

I refer to them as either “the LLM” or “the robot” at work and boy howdy the AI bros do not like it

Back in my day, they blamed the nintendo!

I’m only like an hour into the first one. Does the combat to cutscene ratio ever increase? I feel like I’m watching a movie. (One where the dialogue makes no goddamn sense.)

That’s the best part of science fiction. On the one hand, it’s a mirror. “See, even with all their technology, they’re still people. They’re still us. Look at what we are” But on the other hand it’s a place to play with and practice ideas. “Look at what we can become.”

The best of Star Trek, I think, is the “look at what we can become.” But if things are rough out there, it turns into “look at what we are.” And it’s rough out there.

Enterprise got pretty rough in seasons 2-3. But that was a reaction to 9/11 and yeah a lot of people kinda had their minds broken by that.

Minor conspiracy theory: they’re using those reports as training data to make slop that’s less obviously slop

Golly gee, there just aren’t enough Linux distros to choose from. I just have to go with the one by the worst people imaginable. What other choice do I have?

The voice acting makes me envy the deaf.

A lot of sats head to polar or sun-synchronous orbits, both of which benefit from being very far north or south (less west-to-east velocity to cancel out).

Rocket Lab launches into those orbits from New Zealand all the time. The ESA goes straight north from Kourou sometimes, but that site is on the equator and so is much better suited for lower-inclination orbits.

Apple Maps still shows it as its real name, although they eventually capitulated to the dumb alternate name to the Gulf of Mexico. I doubt it’ll last long.

???

Yeah, sure, let’s escalate this thing. And spread radiation across half of Europe in the process! And kill a million civilians in a slow, agonizing way!

Only one man really needs to die for this thing to end.

What a terrible headline.

Better: “Windows has such terrible security architecture that a compromised application can steal a user’s passwords, passkeys, and literally anything else.”

Sandra’s slowly morphing into late-stage Michael Jackson and it’s a huge bummer.

Like, I get it. The system wants women to be young forever or they’re trash. But she was gorgeous and I’m sure she’d just be an older version of gorgeous without all the work.

You’re not gonna include the list? Walk the plank.

My guess: fencing, swimming, rowing, target shooting

It sounds like a good strategy but I think most of the tankies we run into here are already over there (if the general time of day I get replies from .ml’s/hexbears is any indication)

I am once again begging people not to post a headline that starts with “Trump, 80,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.
