I consider it the best Android app. No qualifiers.

Fallacy fallacy.

(If I even made those, which I doubt.)

Yawn indeed.

“I’ve never won the lottery so clearly nobody does, and news reports about it are fake. You want me to believe it? Then you spend time and money to play and win it, then show me exactly how you won.”
Nevermind that “winning” in this case means dying.

Rare does not mean never. It’s happened enough to be a serious problem already and this is just one more case.

And no, I will not chat with those psychotic machines for you.

This isn’t even remotely the first time LLMs have done this to people. Sure it would be nice to see the full log, but disbelieving it on sight is a weird reaction at this point.

Well yeah, of course. More relevantly, I even heard their insurance approval rate shifted positive… For a few months anyway. But If it’s not back down already I assume it will be eventually. The profit pressure is still there.

As a commenter in a different post put it: Remember when Brian Thompson was killed and UnitedHealthcare suddenly dissolved?

So I notice one bit of missing information: where is that place?

Besides curiosity, there’s also the practical question of whether it’s the right one to sign up for:
Say I encounter one named “Springfield” - how would I know which of the 93 (in the US alone) it is?

I propose having a map on the About page showing the area covered, with the ability to zoom out and see which state/province/etc, which country, and which continent.

Yup. After 9/11 for a while it seemed every week or two the news would report that “The leader of Al Qaeda” had just been killed or captured. Not a false statement, yet it happened again the next week.

In pop culture since the late 1940s, but the idea of disc shaped spacecraft is older. (Source)

Basically just host a blog and on it say outrageous things about something obscure (such as yourself) and wait for it to be picked up.

My Lemmy client shows a page summary (guess it’s in the header or something):

I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I’m not the only one.

My immediate response is: Yes of course, just ask it questions.

The actual article is interesting though. They mean poisoning the data it scrapes intentionally and super easily.

Looks like studies are inconclusive on that and even when they show an effect it is a small increase of a low base rate. Also your proposed mechanism doesn’t make sense because the increase if it exists is for prostate cancer, not testicular.

Oh. Maybe freeze some, then snip.

Or just rely on condoms, abortion, etc.

I’m no expert, but my guess is no because they likely have the same chemicals on the surface as any other of your own cells, so there’s nothing to target.

Why not a vasectomy? Mine was easy and mostly covered by normal insurance (in the USA).

That would only hold if the law were consistent. This very obviously only goes this single direction.

What is he going to do after 19.19?

I’m guessing it’s because they can’t compete with store brands and other cheap competition. My family buys this stuff, and we never pay the premium for the brand name.

It is very clearly written so individuals won’t be able to buy a printer without this junk in the firmware. Afterwards maybe they can fix it, but according to the article it includes a provision that 3D printers (or CNC, etc) can’t even be bought online in NY.

That somehow doesn’t surprise me

That’s true, and I should have been less absolute in my language. However all of those activities were niche and actively scary sounding to the ‘normies’ (and to a lesser extent still are)

I actually did find “warez” on BBSs before I had Internet access. But I really think even finding BBS numbers in the back of a magazine and trying them out put me outside most computer users of the time.
