In an emergency, you can also exit widdoutershins.

Fake lawyers, fake reviews, and several pyramid schemes. Solid takedowns, FTC!

just sold you out

They been sellin us out since the start. And they never even paid for us!

I’ll believe it when GN says it.

Maybe the COPS theme song, cuz I think it did a lot to popularize the show and that was some mega-potent copaganda that did long-term damage.

Maybe Horst-Wessel-Lied, for similar reasons.

It’s Cory Doctorow’s pet name for it. Like most terms he comes up with, it’s almost too brutally honest to say in polite company.

Whatever the hell candy corn is.

(Everyone seems to be taking the opposite message from my original post, so I guess I’ll just replace it.)

Here is a pretty good video about the original incident when it happened, responding to some of the criticism of the soup-throwers by comparing their demonstration to the self-immolation of Wynn Bruce, in terms of media attention, cost, and damage:

(I had not heard of Wynn Bruce before the video, so I assumed nobody else had either. Wrong assumption on Lemmy, I guess.)

CNN has the youngest audience among cable news networks. Median age of 67.

My bad. I automatically think 3DS when I see DS.

“3rd-party servers”

Okay, but what 3rd party? Pretendo Online, I hope. That project deserves some love.

• Nearest market: 600m
• Nearest big supermarket: 5.2km
• Nearest bus stop: 5km
• Nearest park: 1km
• Nearest library: 1.6km
• Nearest train station: 26km

Having a small market so close is a massive improvement from my previous address, where the only option was a big supermarket 3.9km away.

If we’ve learned any lesson from the internet, it’s that once something exists it never goes away.

Sure, people shouldn’t believe the output of their prompt. But if you’re generating that output, a site can use the API to generate a similar output for a similar request. A bot can generate it and post it to social media.

Yeah, don’t trust the first source you see. But if the search results are slowly being colonized by AI slop, it gets to a point where the signal-to-noise ratio is so poor it stops making sense to only blame the poor discernment of those trying to find the signal.

Nor is losing your night vision to the glare of a car (it’s always a pickup) behind you with too-bright lights that fill your mirrors.

It really fucking is. Nothing is a bigger red flag to me than a pickup. 98% of pickup drivers are assholes.

Surprising number of people taking this seriously.

Don’t worry. Someone will soon come by to remind us that it’s pointless to regulate AI, and also harmful to do it, and it’s actually a good thing for everyone, and also we’ll be shoveling shit until we die if we don’t get on board, and please oh please just let me get off to one more deepfake of my classmate before you take away my toy it’s not faiiiiir.

I’ve been comparing it to Kessler Syndrome, but for culture.
