And then the rest of it is rational people discussing what would happen if trump used nukes…

That’s exactly the problem! She says crazy shit to keep herself in the news. People take Jewish Space Laser Lady seriously and discuss what she said as if she should be taken seriously. News reports on it as if it should be taken seriously. Voters take Jewish Space Laser Lady seriously. Mission Accomplished.

I’m sorry buddy, it literally doesn’t matter to me if you understand this, and I’m not going to fight you just to help you.

Feel free to be wrong about this and anything else, I won’t see it anymore

Enjoy your self imposed information silo.

And is barely mentioned in the article…

It’s in the first fucking sentence!

And I’m saying she’s just being alarmist and inflammatory to keep herself in the news cycle. People need to stop giving her the publicity she doesn’t deserve.

That’s partly how we got Trump in the first place. News outlets falling over themselves to report the insane shit he was saying and doing, at the expense of reporting on sane candidates saying sane things.

Using AI to automate tasks that could be automated with a script is awful. And if the endpoints are there for AI to trigger actions, then a simple script could use those same endpoints to do the same thing.

Using AI to help write the script? (Strong emphasis on “help”) Ok, maybe in some scenarios.

But just constantly running AI to do shit is like firing up your big diesel pickup to go down the block to visit your neighbors, except in this case the diesel truck can’t even be trusted to reliably take you to your neighbors every time you want to go there. There’s always the chance it’s going to decide to go somewhere else.

The same woman that blamed hurricanes on Jewish Space Lasers? Yeah, I’ll take anything that self serving narcissist has to say seriously in approximately never.

Yep. That’s not just a stupid headline. It’s flat out wrong.

My guess is that this law will not pass.

Reread the first 5 words of the headline.

Then maybe don’t use the term “we” if you’re not going to be participating in the risky part.

Well? What are you waiting for?

Resproxies are not inherently illegal. Some are used for evading censorship by routing internet traffic through ordinary looking residential homes. AI companies, for example, increasingly rely on resproxies to scrape data from multiple places on the internet in one go to train their AI models.

I “love” how that paragraph tries to paint AI companies use of hijacked residential TV’s to avoid being detected as they scrape the web for training data to steal as some kind of legitimate use of hijacked TV’s.

Pro tip to Zack Whittaker, the Techcrucnh author: There is NO legitimate use of someone else’s Internet connection without their knowledge and approval. Full stop.

I’m not sure, but I think you might be confusing the FCC with the FAA.

conference organizers said they have imposed a ban on “Meta-style glasses with recording capabilities.”

Dammit. I was hoping they explicitly called them “pervert glasses” like the headline suggested.

And the hope that strangers might convert outweighs any concern that they’ll conclude Christians are lunatics.

Who the fuck do they think is going to convert by being forcibly subjected to that? On the contrary. I would imagine that they’re more likely to cause other Christians to have second thoughts.

And shut-in, no-tipping undergrads from coast to coast weep.

Are you expected to tip the fucking robot?

Sure, but the source of the problem is people with Main Character Syndrome that don’t think twice about setting up camp right in the flow of traffic, all for those sweet, sweet fake internet points, or to park their shopping cart across the middle of the aisle while they ponder exactly what flavor of free range organic ketchup they want this week.

what’s behind Japan’s ‘bumping’ trend?

The author is constantly trying to make this a “gender dynamics” thing, but I knew the cause before reading the article. It’s sprinkled throughout…

while some wondered if it was wise to take photographs in the middle of a packed intersection.

as hordes of visitors hoping to capture a perfect Instagram moment descend on busy locations in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka to pause and film.

warned its citizens to keep a safe distance from others in crowded places and to avoid using their smartphones while walking

At the very end of the article, the author finally cones around to the simple answer.

She said she had been criticised and insulted online for taking photos of her daughter, who was uninjured, on a pedestrian crossing.

“I admit I may have been careless about the flow of people. But it wasn’t like I was ignoring traffic rules,” she said, adding that she had been following Chinese-language advice provided on Go Tokyo, a website run by the Tokyo Convention and Visitors Bureau, which tells visitors they “can even stand at the intersection and take a picture”.

I feel like this is a recent problem in a lot of places, and it’s not just tourists taking pictures. It seems like it’s much more common these days for people to be blocking the aisle in the grocery store with zero awareness of those around them, as just one example I’ve witnessed repeatedly. It’s almost as if COVID taught people to be self absorbed assholes and not give a shit about others.

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but I’m running SmartTube on an Nvidia Shield here. Works amazing.

even sold their homes.

LOL!!! 'Cause they’re gonna need that money in heaven. These people have absolute shit for brains.

The Qatari government said two Iranian drones hit a QatarEnergy facility and that authorities are assessing the scale of damage. The country’s LNG production accounts for roughly 20% of global supply.

So, for two drones to “halt 20% of global LNG production”, as the headline claims, they would have had to disable the entire production capacity of the entire country of Qatar, not just part of one facility.

I assume Bibi ordered them to intentionally let that one through to drum up support for continued strikes against Iran.
