One Lemmy gold for you, thank you kind stranger!

We’ve finally found it - an ethical application for deepfake AI

Earlier this year, investors filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing company executives of overstating the devices’ capabilities and claiming that “Evolv does not reliably detect knives or guns.”

It’s fraud. The company knows it’s unreliable and the investors know it’s unreliable, I wonder why NYC is still going to expand the trial run? 🤔

[Mayor] Adams has touted the Massachusetts-based company since taking office in 2022.

Appreciate the info and link, but $168 for what is essentially a few dollars of SOLAS tape and a pair of IR laser safety glasses? Bruh.

Fucking van drivers man, they know ZERO CHILL

But they know that, which is why healthcare costs have consistently increased higher than inflation.

Healthcare is one of THE MOST demand inelastic commodities or services. People do not say “oooh that’s a lot of money - is there a worse doctor who is cheaper?”, instead they say “100% yes I will remortgage my home and sell assets to pay for the cancer treatment my child needs.” Nobody is at the free clinic by choice, they’re there because they cannot afford or borrow to pay for better care.

Capitalism is incompatible with ‘rational consumer purchasing choices’ that apply to clothes, food, TVs, etc. because when there’s death or life altering negative outcomes, the only rational decision is to pay WHATEVER the price demanded is. Healthcare has a demand wall, not a demand curve.

The dumpsterwedge

Because people won’t leave Xitter. Mastodon was propped up expressly as a replacement, but the bird yet lives.

Lawful- Neutral renter reporting in:

• Fresh paint and a lot of putty hide a lot of sins
• Magic erasers ARE magic
• Home improvement stores just like sell door trim, hardware, etc and they’ll color match paint
• Most post-inspectors are looking for egregious issues or evidence of a bad fix/cleanup. That’s now your threshold for quality

I fixed an entire doorframe trim and drywall after the back door got kicked in - paint and putty are your friends

Eyyyyy we’re fucked 🙃

It’s not helping. We aren’t going to get a “deus ex machina” moment on righting damage done to the environment. Yes focus on the bigger goals and pollution sources, but this is a trend in the wrong way to enlarge Elon’s money pile.

Yes, the rocket is reusable. The fuel is not, and by lowering the cost per kg of space freight, it has driven more usage of rockets. Which use non-renewable fuel at astounding rates and make huge emissions for a minor payload total.

We’re seeing extreme temperatures and unseasonal weather events already - James Webb is cool and the ISS does need service missions but Starlink is just more orbital trash waiting to happen.

What about getting fucked behind a Jimmy John’s? Asking for a friend 👀

Yes. Going from thinking “yeah, that’s a tree ofc” to talking like a paid shill to everyone I know “I CAN SEE EACH LEAF!!! ITS LIKE I’M SEEING IN HD”

Why would they pay anyone? Just turn their own AI loose to dog pile dissent

Won’t anyone think of the shareholders?!?!!

This is a very easy to flag, given the intelligence of the people working at OpenAI. Russian IP, political topic, high post frequency. But blocking them has an opportunity cost in identifiable dollar value, doing nothing only costs them a few pithy press releases and a “commitment to truthfulness and openness”.

Move fast and break things, right? As long as the money rolls in… Just this time they’re breaking the fabric of reality binding society together.

Onion News Network called it

My favorite is when you finally relent, answer the phone and they’re hyper distracted, trying to ‘fit in’ a phone call during their day

“Oh, hi Mark”

“Hey do yo- hold on” sounds of keys, phone put down, grocery bags rustling

“…”

Like bruh. You called me, because you felt this warranted 1:1 attention for a conversation. I didn’t sign up for your organic ‘hold music’ via foley session.

My wrists never truly recovered… and it was worth it

Exactly. Either risk it and have a big payoff, or insert a point behind it. Make the audience think after they laugh, or search within themselves why that was funny, or the context behind the joke.

Or if you go for the edgy or dark joke, and get called out - you rolled that die, live with it. Crying “it’s just a joke” or “comedy is cancelled” after your bit failed to land is hacky
