Lol. Reminds me of a dialogue chain in Fallout 3 or 4 where one of the Brotherhood dudes finds out he’s a synth, so you kill him. Later ask his buddy if he misses him, and the dude says something like “That’s like missing a toaster. We don’t have time to mourn lost equipment.”
Now I’m going to refuse to purchase one even harder!
That’s their goal for sure, what I mean is how are they pretending to justify it?
There’s usually some on-paper benevolent veneer to wrap their hateful bullshit up with.
For example, they hate trans people, but they don’t campaign on that out loud - they justify that hated under the guise of shit like protecting bathrooms.
But this is fucking Steam - access to that bathroom is already under lock and key behind an armed guard. They can’t just pull the “think of the children!” card when the children already have a myriad of protections.
…or maybe they can, considering what just happened. We live in stupid times.
What’s even the argument here? Steam already has parental control options, age gates, and content filters… if you don’t want your kids seeing that shit on steam, then, like, don’t let em?
…meanwhile, let’s just continue shoving blatant gambling down minors’ throats in the form of lootboxes.
We’ve seen this coming ever since machine leaning has been on the public’s radar. The current davinci robot are always wired directly to Intuitive, ostensibly so that their support team can help resolve faults mid-surgery asap.
Every input the surgeon makes is recorded. Intuitive has millions of surgeries of training data.
I’d absolutely hate to put the decision making of my own surgery in the hands of the bullshit generators we call ‘AI’, but I could say the same about some of the surgeons I’ve worked with too… If I really had to choose which one I distrust the least, I’d probably just ask my anesthesiologist to load me up with ‘i don’t give a fuck’ drugs and choose whichever option is cheaper.
Converters are handy as well, i.e. https://www.madeintext.com/superscript-generator/
I use this all the time for chem shit like typing out “PaCO₂”
Think a drone could get up above it and drop something into the propeller?
…that enormous library is called “YouTube videos”.
I’ve resorted back to piracy, but mostly cuz my taste in music confuses the hell out of the algorithms: I’m a fan of symphonic metal, and seeding one of those songs as the start of a playlist on something like YT music will land you with a combination of heavy death metal and renaissance fair music.
If I ever find one that can actually distinguish sub-genres of metal, then sign me the fuck up!!
Youtube Music is pretty much just youtube with a different UI - the videos are the same. The audio quality is whatever’s uploaded, so it’ll vary a lot song to song.
"Alright, the implantation surgery was a success, now all we have to do is fire up the remote activation. Throwing the switch in three… two…
I mean, if Elon was my dad, I’d probably have some suicidal tendencies too.
This gem might need an update.
Until insurers decide they’re too expensive to cover.
Light em up!
$800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks
Cybertrucks aren’t worth the glass of the molotovs that ignite them.
Worth and cost are not synonyms.
Yeah, some employers are really stupid about it. They treat it like a crystal ball. I’m not an expert in psychology, so the best I got is second-hand insight, but one of the perks of working in a hospital is I get to routinely pick brains that are a lot smarter than mine, to include a couple of psych PhD’s: ask them about the Myers Briggs and they immediately start ranting about how it’s pseodo-science bullshit. And some doctors do rant about shit outside their scope of expertise, which pretty well puts them at the same level of idiocy as the rest of us (i.e., if your ortho doc starts raving about how vaccines cause autism, the MD on his badge carries literally zero weight: he knows the fuck out of bones, but until proven otherwise it’s best to assume he got his education on vaccines from Fox news). But when experts in psych bitch about psych stuff, I take that at face value.
It’s used widely for actual hiring decisions. If you’re qualified for a job but they want an INTJ but you’re an ENTJ according the overgrown Facebook quiz, you get a rejection letter.
It’s unethical as fuck, and absolutely rampant in corporate America.
Now, as a team building exercise or role play to get to know potential clientele, yeah no harm.
The speedometer is also predictive.
Kinda wonder what the actual cutoff is regarding the legality of those statements. Like “I want to-” and “I wish someone would-” don’t really carry any actual threat. As opposed to something like “I’m going to-” which, yeah, straight to jail.
