Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?

What are you topping these with???🤪

all i want is a super hero story where the villain is monologuing and the hero doesnt interrupt!!! like the villain is going on and on but when he looks at the hero, expecting them to have escaped or fallen asleep or some rude gag, he sees the hero listening intently, asking him to go on and telling him that its fascinating. and so this happens every time the villain captures the hero, he does his monologue and the hero actually pays attention!! and so the villain starts actually just telling the hero why hes a villain, whatever drove him to do this, he just talks. and the hero listens. and they become friends, they work through the villains issues and reintroduce himto normal life and its pure!! and nice!!! and i just want villains working through their shit with the hero yknow?? if you know any examples of something like this tell me because i l i ve for it

I explained the “x before gta6” meme to my immigrant father and he, in turn, explained to me how back in his day in Romania, they had the same type of joke, except instead of it being gta6, it was about the imminent death of a singer named Gică Petrescu, who everyone was continuously shocked by because he refused to die. Every time a momentous event happened people would say, in essence: “This happened and Gică Petrescu hasn’t even died yet?!?”

The trainer was like, think of AI as an intern, student worker, or new coworker! They can do tasks for you, but be sure to carefully check their work.

The thing is, there’s a deep cultural assumption of the importance of a category of “new on the job and bad at it” that is based around aspects of those sorts of positions that just simply should not apply to AI… and AI hypemen have gotten very good at exploiting that cultural assumption. No one actually keeps around “student workers who suck at the job” because those interns are helpful. You keep them around because there is a learning curve, and if you want the reward of having experienced employees, you must submit to the mortifying ordeal of herding newbs.
