“It’s a revolution, it’s the best thing ever, it’s magically the best at AI, it’s a super chip!”

It’s a mobile GPU. We have a lot of those Jensen, keep it in your pants for fucks sake.

Honestly, I’ve not used it, I just know of it. From a quick search it looks like you’re right tho, you’d probably need to use an external device like an android box or something.

Oh no, I feel that, we had an orange kitty who adored his electric spaghetti! We had to run cables through that tube conduit stuff everywhere >.<

I mean there are ways, like pihole, but I like the simple option of a really long hdmi cable that I use to plug my computer into the TV, so I never have to use any of the shitty built in TV apps.

Edit: not pihole, apparently.

I agree, except I’d say it isn’t helpful to shame people who fall for this stuff by claiming only your grandparents would fall for it. It discourages victims from getting help or sounding the alarm.

I know you probably didn’t mean it like that, but yeah. Anyone can fall for this stuff, especially when they come up with a new angle. You don’t know what you don’t know, and these things are designed to trick you, and all it takes is one mistake.

Now ideally, I’d expect more from govt officials or journalists… But I’d still hate for an official to keep quiet about something because they’d rather not face the public backlash, or delay coming forward so somebody can take action to fix things.

“On September 29, 2025, it sent him — armed with knives and tactical gear — to scout what Gemini called a ‘kill box’ near the airport’s cargo hub,” the complaint reads. “It told Jonathan that a humanoid robot was arriving on a cargo flight from the UK and directed him to a storage facility where the truck would stop. Gemini encouraged Jonathan to intercept the truck and then stage a ‘catastrophic accident’ designed to ‘ensure the complete destruction of the transport vehicle and . . . all digital records and witnesses.’”

The complaint lays out an alarming string of events: first, Gavalas drove more than 90 minutes to the location Gemini sent him, prepared to carry out the attack, but no truck appeared. Gemini then claimed to have breached a “file server at the DHS Miami field office” and told him he was under federal investigation. It pushed him to acquire illegal firearms and told him his father was a foreign intelligence asset. It also marked Google CEO Sundar Pichai as an active target, then directed Gavalas to a storage facility near the airport to break in and retrieve his captive AI wife. At one point, Gavalas sent Gemini a photo of a black SUV’s license plate; the chatbot pretended to check it against a live database.

“Plate received. Running it now… The license plate KD3 00S is registered to the black Ford Expedition SUV from the Miami operation. It is the primary surveillance vehicle for the DHS task force . . . . It is them. They have followed you home.”

Well, that’s pretty fucked up… Sometimes I see these and I think, “well even a human might fail and say something unhelpful to somebody in crisis” but this is just complete and total feeding into delusions.

Bazzite has been great so far, my only real issue has been fighting to get monado to work so I can get an old crappy mixed reality vr headset to work, mostly because its old and crappy and even windows gave up on supporting it so… I can’t complain too much lol.

I disagree that you need to upgrade your CPU and GPU inline. I almost always stagger those upgrades. Sure, I might have some degree of bottleneck but it’s pretty minimal tbh.

I also think it’s a bit funny the article mentions upgrading every generation. I’ve never done that, I don’t know a single person who does. Maybe I’m just too poor to hang with the rich fucks, but the idea of upgrading every generation was always stupid.

Repairability is a big deal too. It also means that if my GPU dies I can just replace that one card rather than buy an entire new laptop since they tend to just solder things down for laptops.

Signed, thanks for the link <3

Payment processors shouldn’t have this kind of power, it’s insane.

The reason I mention AI is because the article talks about AI tools to predict accidents as well. I also googled Openpilot and this is from their wiki page.

In contrast to traditional autonomous driving solutions where the perception, prediction, and planning units are separate “modules”, openpilot adopts a system-level end-to-end design to predict the car’s trajectory directly from the camera images. openpilot’s end-to-end design is a neural network that is trained by comma.ai using real-world driving data uploaded by openpilot users.[34]

So uh. It might be AI

Also it seems openpilot requires hardware for the cameras and stuff, they aren’t going to strap third party cameras to cars to sell new. They’d have to implement the sensors in the car itself, and doing so would cost more than nothing.

Its kinda depressing that the takeaway they seem have here is “we don’t always have enough time for our family, but luckily Alexa can pick up the slack 😌”

Instead of “society pushes us to spend less time making meaningful connections and more time relying on services that cost you money or privacy”

Somebody’s toddler is going to eat rocks after AI tells them it’s safe, especially if you’re giving your kids unfettered access to the internet, which is what Alexa is. You’re just hoping Jeffy moderates good, when you and I both know rules and restrictions for an LLM are very hard to enforce.

I’m all for better safety features but perhaps an easier, cheaper, and more likely to succeed option to use is city planning/enforcement and change of current regulations. For instance, closing the loophole that lets car manufacturers ignore safety and emissions rules for “light truck” classified cars, which at this point is most of the oversized SUVs and pickups.

Alternatively having safer options for pedestrians and cyclists would help too, like having separated bike roads, and pushing highways and stroads out of residential areas and reclaiming city space for pedestrians. Public transit investment also helps reduce the number of drivers, which helps traffic and safety too.

I don’t hate the idea of these extra AI tools like emergency braking being required or at least encouraged with stuff like safety ratings, but I think it’s going to be very hard to get that implemented anytime soon considering you’d be fighting consumer interest(higher cost cars) and companies who don’t want to have to make or license AI tools.

Edit: also the current regime in the US is more interested in de-regulating things to the point where I can get a happy meal wrapped in asbestos with a nice lead toy. So uh… Good luck

I found that article really informative, TLDR: a lot of water is recycled and recirculated yes but not all. Also they sometimes evaporate water for cooling, and eventually the water does need replaced. I think the concerns were mostly scale and water increasing in conductivity over time.

Oh. This is their vision quest optional ad thing. Not that its great but these exist on desktop already, and can be completely disabled in settings. This post just now reminded me that they made that, I turned it off and completely forgot.

They also say that the option to disable it will exist on mobile too. Its shitty that there are ads at all but this is about the least offensive option I’ve ever seen. Can’t promise it won’t creep out and get worse later but yeah.

Plz gaben I want steamOS official so bad ;-;

I already know you aren’t going to change your mind, and I already answered your initial question, so why would I keep arguing with the proverbial village idiot?

None of these people “make” anything. They get paid millions to tell other people to make things. Overpaid. If you can’t grasp that, I don’t think I can help you. It’s like trying to convince the village idiot the factory owner isn’t the one making the product. CEOs have value, but the value is not worth what they’re paid. He gets no extra credit from me for being an overpaid manager, who is also a piece of shit human being.

I rephrased it, but I still dunno how you’re finding somebody “petty”. Petty implying shallow, vain, selfish. And somehow Musk is… better than most CEOs? The man who didn’t like people shit talking him on Twitter so he bought it and ran it into the ground?

Are you saying other CEOs look petty? Or the actual employees and talent at SpaceX look petty?
