Sounds like a hilarious read, like that Reddit for bots thing Moltbook
Actually it wasn’t hilarious, it was extremely boring. I looked up a game I played recently Quasimorph and it just yaps on and on for fucking ever. There is no way to verify accuracy because no human could ever possibly read 36 paragraphs of pointless meandering waffle, without even any maple syrup
Yeah this feels like a turning point. Right now for most people it’s a vague threat of privacy most people are somewhat aware of like “meh it’s probably fine”. If this goes through, it changes to a very real risk of being systematically doxxed at any time by whoever asks.
I remember my most downvoted comment was on a video of someone driving down a residential street with cars parked on both sides of the road and no visibility. They were going exactly the speed limit, and they collide with a kid that pops out between cars, as kids are wont to do, and the dad comes out and punches the car in anger and yells at the driver.
I commented that maybe you should slow down a bit when you’re in a dangerous situation like that where you can’t see pedestrians. Multiple people replied that the kid deserves to die for… being a kid? I think it was at worse than -100 votes when I checked before deleting my account. This was before A.I., but after it started becoming a toxic rage-bait machine. Everyone was in full justice boner mode for the dad and the kid being evil and stupid, and that drivers are completely within their rights to go full speed and hit any kids if they happen to appear.
It’s really a good case study on the way the average Redditor thinks / acts.

Yeah this happened to me too when I drove my ex’s car. Cars should not be jerking the wheel. The sensors are notoriously inaccurate at sunrise/sunset when the sun is glaring right in the sensors, and it causes glitches. Especially in wet conditions where the road is slippery and there’s reflected glare as well… almost spun out from that shit once when I tried to turn and the car said NOPE and jerked me back into the straight lane. This was with indicators, mind you.
I also remember one time we were driving on the freeway and the car suddenly spotted an “invisible fake ghost pedestrian”, and SLAMMED on the brakes. Like screeching halt from 80kmph (50mph) in the middle of the busy road. Dunno how on earth we didn’t cause an accident; the people behind us were locked in or something.
Never drove that car again, fuck that. My ex likes that unruly beast for some reason; though they also liked horse riding, which features vehicles that are similarly unpredictable and dangerous, so I suppose it makes sense. I’m ok with beeping, that’s fine and a sensible warning feature I can choose to ignore if it’s wrong. I’m not ok with the car wrenching control of the vehicle out of my hands
This was a very good, detailed read, including interviews with real affected people. I recommend anyone skimming the headline to read the full article.
It’s still faster than what I did before A.I.; I would spend ages Googling for something obscure and scrutinising one vague StackOverflow post over and over for insights. Also cursing iOS Safari.
Aww man you just made me realise that you could combine A.I. image generation with augmented reality to make everyone nude in real time. What a fucked up world we live in. I’m sure someone is already working on a program like this
I don’t trust A.I. code at all. If I ever do use it, I use it as a research tool like “please google for me how to do this one obscure thing because IDK what search query to use”; then I type out it’s output manually. Usually as I do so, I come across some subtle error that would cause horrible problems, and fix it as I go.
I tried to use it for a mathematical algorithm once. I might as well have just written return Math.random();
In the latest article, he suddenly flat out refuses to talk about it whatsoever and drops the case, which usually means a private settlement. We have no way of knowing how much he got, unfortunately.
And yeah it’s horrifying, because it wasn’t even like a tiny cross contamination mistake or something. There was so much lactose/nut allergens in her body, that her EpiPen and the hospital could do nothing to save her. Complete gross negligence.
You’re getting blasted for some reason lol
To add some context, GitHub’s primary strength is integrating different services. GitLab’s primary strength is being “the one thing” that you use. It really depends on your business which one makes most strategic sense. For small to medium, GitLab is great. Even large it can work amazingly.
However, I’ll put my anecdotal two cents in and say that GitHub comes out ahead for very large enterprises, or if you do collaborative, or Business 2 Business stuff, just because of it’s integrations. Integrations are king once you get to scale. If you’re using GitLab + anything else, it’s friction for each additional tool you use, rather than a force multiplier. At a certain point it restricts you.

It’s high resolution enough to take notes about your environment and answer questions with Apple intelligence. If it’s as restricted by Bluetooth bandwidth, battery, etc as you claim, it would be a useless feature. It doesn’t need to record 24/7, just take a snapshot every 5 minutes and if something interesting is happening maybe then start recording
Never heard of this company before.
Alex Atallah described his company OpenRouter as the artificial intelligence version of the payments company Stripe. Now Stripe is buying OpenRouter.
The deal, announced on Wednesday, combines Stripe’s technology, which lets companies direct payments to other businesses, with OpenRouter’s technology, which lets them direct their spending of “tokens” between different providers of A.l. models. Tokens are an atomic unit of A.l. use, roughly equivalent to a word fragment.
I still don’t really know what this company actually does. Like a token merchant or something?

Has EA really made creative games recently though? I’m looking at their recent games list and it’s mostly: Madden, EA Sports, The Sims 4 DLC, NHL, Battlefield, Plants vs Zombies, etc. Sequels and remakes basically. With notable exceptions by subsidiary companies like Split Fiction.
Like, if you’re going to buy any company, the one where you make almost the exact same game every year and everyone still buys it is probably a safe bet.
Yep. There’s been an update, actually; the widower appears to have gotten a financial settlement with NDA and dropped the case. After a 2 year fight with Disney lawyers, that’s about as good as you can hope for.
Hopefully he finds some peace, what a horrific way to lose someone.

This is a fairly interesting method of fingerprinting. Annoying too, as it hogs the audio channels as experienced by the discoverer
