Yeah, when I was looking for information about Tears of the Kingdom around 90% of my search results was AI slop. I think was looking for info about how weapon durability and fusion worked and I kept getting a badly reworded version of the explanation of fusion from the gameplay teaser.

Actually.. that reminded me of another TotK search I did, I was looking for where to farm some variety of lizalfos tails and kept getting AI articles that confused BotW locations with TotK. Amusingly, I eventually tried Google's chatbot out of exasperation and it actually proved more accurate than my search results.

Even a turtle realizes when something can threaten its existence.

Hey now, don't worry. I'm sure this will all be cleared up when the bodycam footage is released and it clearly shows the police being menaced with a knife... right?

Ah... well. You know the old saying, you can't make a genocide without killing a few hostages.

Gee, we've had over a half century of computer graphics at this point. However, suddenly when a technology arises that requires obscene amount of GPU's to generate a results a GPU manufacturer is here to tell us that all computer graphics without that new technology is dead for... reasons. I cannot see any see any connections between these points.

Yikes, even Rivians are having similar issues, so this isn’t exclusive to these shitty trucks.

That being said, given the sheer number quality control problems with the Cybertruck I'm not willing to discount there being some sort of manufacturing defect contributing to tire problems. Like maybe Telsa didn't give the right specs to Goodyear, or maybe they cheaped out on the materials used, or Elon got involved and demanded that ketamine needed to be mixed into the rubber or something.

I'd also like to add she's dumb as a rock, just in case anyone missed that.

Spez is a pretty standard tech bro, so of course he wants to jam "AI" into everything he can.

That seems like a good way to get fleas.

Trump is a psychopath that should not be allowed to drive a car let alone a country.

Good news then, presidents and former presidents aren't allowed to drive themselves. So at least we won't have to deal with Trump claiming that deep state operatives switched the gas and brake peddles.

It's probably better then the days old garbage they usually scavenge. And I cut off the moldy part too.

I bought one of those vegan Spam-a-likes and I have to say I really didn't like it.

I my thought process was "Spam's so heavily processed, how much worse could it be if no meat were involved?" the answer turned out to be "A lot." I don't know how to describe it. It's like... you know how there are all beef hot dogs, but they don't taste anything like beef? It was kinda that but with Spam... but Spam isn't very meat like to begin with.

All that being said, after the plant based Spam sat in my fridge until it started to get fuzzy, I threw it out for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Despite the fact I found it to be quite unappealing, starving alley cats found it to be meat like enough to eat it... which I guess is a mark in it's favor?

I'm guessing the hype train has slowed down, the initial investment money has been pocketed uppermost management so now the middle managers have been tasked with "Make the company profitable somehow or your fired." So they're hiking prices to try and fill a massive hole in the budget and they're using AI slop production as a fig leaf to cover it up.

You could also try leaving a sprinkler watering your plants. I've managed to get tomatoes through mild (and some not so mild) freezes that way.

Don't forget the voter suppression before the election. They'll have long list of blue voters that must be purged because maybe one of them is illegally voting.

Honestly, I was expecting Christian nationalist. Especially since over the past decade Taylor's gone from the right-wings idealized "aryan goddess" to "Evil woke woman who must be degraded at every opportunity".

What would that pan even be used to cook? I'm having a hard time picturing a use for it.

<Insert Fry shocked gif here>

So wait, the registered Republican shooter was taking orders from the Democrats? Oh man, Trump's admitting that he's even lost the "deranged shooter" demographic.

Probably that and some sort of "White Replacement" conspiracy theory.

Videotaping Publishing this crime spree is the best idea we ever had!

There was a whole stupid controversy in my town when a (very stylized) statue of Athena was going to be put up. Lots of performative pearl clutching about a statue of a "pagan god" being erected. Finally the town just renamed it "Vision" or something and put it up anyway.

Ehhh....

YA novel with a movie adaptation. Never read it but from what I've gathered it's basically the Hunger Games with the sorting hat from Harry Potter putting teens into social factions rather than houses.

Even then why the fuck would you tase him?

IIRC the thought the seizure induced thrashing was him resisting arrest. Of course that begs the question, why were they trying to arrest someone having a seizure (that they'd been sent to help BTW) in the first place?

Visiting the corpse of Twitter was your first mistake

My response is usually "Sure, I can always use an alibi!"

The article that they're quoting was published on the eleventh.

Hmm... in my case the oldest game I've been playing recently is a fan translation of "Metal Max Returns" a 1995 SNES remake of a 1991 Famicom game.

I'm willing to bet he'd just call it an "official act of the president" for legal immunity and the supreme court would back him up with a 6-3 split.

“It isn’t part of a political agenda,” Ms. Mattson, 15, said. “It was to make students feel safe.”

Well there you go. The reason the Republicans are opposing it.

Because it will be reporting how often you look at 8008135

I'm not gonna lie, calling my reading of the paper "skimming" would be generous, but I don't recall seeing that.

I'm semi-expecting that before I die there will be a push for some sort of "Right to labor law", which will allow companies to involuntarily force the unemployed into their employment at prison wages (after all, we wouldn't want the unemployed to give up their dreams, right? So we need to incentivize them to go out and get a real job)

To each their own I suppose.

Okay... I tried reading the linked paper in the article linked and from this:

The projected cancer cases and deaths in 2050 were derived through demographic projections, assuming that the 2022 estimated rates remain constant. The projections were calculated every 5 years (2025, 2030, … 2050) by multiplying the 2022 age-specific rates with their corresponding population projections for the target years (2025, 2030, … 2050), with the projected population extracted from the United Nations world population prospects.

It sounds kinda like the cancer increase is mostly due population growth. It's not "The Earth's crust will be 90% carcinogens by 2050" it's "We expect a lot more people, so that means there will be a lot more old people, a lot more obese people, a lot more people who smoke and drink, and a lot more people exposed to air pollution.

I mean, the per capita cancer rate has been pretty steadily dropping in the US for the past two decades even before COVID decimated the elderly.

If you RTA actually yes, that's one of their main drivers of the predicted increase of cancer.

It's even more amusing when you consider how the Trump administration kept trying (and failing) to slash law enforcement budgets.

Honestly, I really hate glowing keyboards I go out of my way to avoid them. Same with fans and cases with a LED lightshow built in.

The problem is that it's so hard to find components that constantly don't glow all the time. Even my computer has a LED fan in it, because it was all I could find for cheap. Fortunately it's a old "metal box" type case so except for a vent on the side the glow is almost unnoticeable... but occasionally when the rooms dark I'll see the slight glow seeping out and get annoyed all over again that a tiny fraction of the power my PC is using is for lighting up a closed box.

Yeah, Musk blamed GARM for advertisers "boycotting" X so he sued them then they disbanded. Of course, Mush and Yaccarino are strutting about like roosters apparently not realizing how obvious this suit makes it that you do business with X at your own peril.
