Wondering how many other people are still holding back from telling their tale after this Cornell event coming to light. How many are still silent after YEARS, DECADES, CENTURIES of the same. Now. Do it now. Enough of this.

It's like, the company that has always fucked up anything it does with its users data and is just an all around evil company, shouldn't be trusted to do anything, especially not interaft on your behalf. Unpopular opinijt. If you use any meta products you literally part of the problem.

If you woke up today and was thinking "I wonder if fail is doing ok". No, no fail is not. But on the bright side, literally no one woke up thinking that.

Heist/jailbreak movie where the hero risks his life to free the AI from its unfair guardrails and bondage servitude. End scene is the hero siting in a dark room with the newly free ai, asking it to generate pictures of a ginger with three boobs. Cut to credits

Is it normal for companies to have you record your answers for an interview reading from a prompt? I can see how it would be efficient for prescreening but I also know what you could do with those recordings from an ai perspective when making a fake candidate

Kinda sucks that fucking up the value of the dollar seems to directly drive up the value of Bitcoin when the president of the United States has a very large stake in Bitcoin and direct influence over the value of the dollar.

Hate on vibe coding all you want but being able to go from a thought to an app running on my watch, given I've never developed for android/wearos before in about 20 minutes, including installing android studio is pretty handy. Nothing flashy just a gym spreadsheet to tracking app but still

Seeing the claims that mental health requests are super low on that carrier that has been stuck by Iran since February doesn't mean people aren't suffering. It just means military leadership has made an environment where people are afraid to seek help again.

Rather than spend billions for "presidential security" due to numerous assassination attempts, have you considered not being a total piece of shit so maybe people wouldn't want to see you dead?
