They went on, however, to question the ethics and judgment of the potentially destructive payload.

Goodness me, the brain-rotted slop fans suddenly care about ethics?

New goal: nine fives of uptime

Obviously yes, one image is too many. But companies only care about money, and if their money is going to evaporate because of their stupid technology, they’ll figure out a way to shut it off before it costs them.

The alternative is the status quo, which is that there are no consequences so there are no changes. Or maybe you make the fine ten quadrillion dollars for the first image generated, which is never gonna fly.

Let’s say a user generates one image per minute. If they do that for an hour, that’s $30M. If they did that once a day for a month, that’s almost a billion dollars.

These services have hundreds of millions of users. Collectively, if they don’t stop, the fines will be total-world-GDP levels in days or weeks.

These things are nonconsensual sexual image machine guns, dude.

Less expensive: yep

Actually fun colors: yep

Windows is worse than ever: yep

It would have been surprising if this thing wasn’t a hit.

I built my own (custom) version of this sort of thing too, but beware: if you’re traveling in or to the US, TSA can get very cranky about pills not in their original containers. If you’re about to go on a long trip and you have drugs you absolutely cannot miss doses of, just use the original bottles.

In a period of unbelievable growth, having an operations guy at the helm was probably the right call. But he overstayed his welcome and bent the knee to Trump.

And they’re gonna have an engineer make the big decisions now. Hell yeah.

Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)

The entire “AI” industry feels built on the premise that you never have to get permission for things.

I’m annoyed at the state of Apple’s app ecosystem. MacOS is worse this year than it’s been in a long time and I’m not updating on Macs that I control.

But have you used a windows pc recently? It’s like banging rocks together. Somehow, they keep finding ways to make it worse every year. Or month. So yeah, I’m using a Mac because it’s the less terrible option.

(And good luck getting your IT people at work letting you put Linux on your laptop.)

We have been complaining about this shit for YEARS.

Using speakerphone in public is acceptable in one scenario: your phone’s normal speaker/mic is broken, you don’t have headphones, and a loved one is calling you as they’re dying.

You should try yelling “money” again, that’ll definitely convince people. Of. Well, whatever it is you’re trying to convince us of.

There is nothing as hilarious as someone trying to use fancy words but missing pretty basic concepts of the language.

You’re trying to sound smart. It’s making you sound dumber.

“I am so smart, the answer is obvious. So I won’t tell you. If you don’t get it, you’re not as smart as me.”

People have been begging for big tech companies that rely on open source software to support development. Netflix finally did the dang thing.

More, please!

Nobody actually posted the link to the poll?

Here ya go.

I am once again begging people not to post a headline that starts with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.
