Certainly interesting that the "wildlife" monitoring tool relies on a quirk of *human* vision for its efficacy.

I could give some examples, but you would have had to have actually heard of the countries concerned. Twat.

What investors haven't noticed is that they've spent five years panicking that people not working in offices screws up the revenue from their massive commercial real estate portfolios, but the promise of AI is a future of no one working in an office, stamping in their face forever.

a man in a hat looks at a golden egg
Alt: “a man in a hat looks at a golden egg” was the suggested alt text, which is so utterly wrong and inadequate that I had to leave it intact. (It’s Indiana Jones letting sand run through his fingers as he assesses the weight of the golden idol)

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin". www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Adobe users: it’s the most beautiful time of the year, where you can threaten to cancel your plan and get the price cut down from $59.99 to $29.99 for the next 12 months ✨ Manage plan-> cancel my plan -> continue and then you get this offer: (more)
The second step in Adobe’s “cancel my plan” workflow, where they roll over and give you everything for half price, $29.99 vs the rack $59.99 cost

Such a stupid take. Even if true, so what? The whole point of OSINT is you bring the receipts. Anyone can check them.

Eight years ago we were helping my mum set up her TV. It asked the sort of question that stays with you.
A programming message on the set-up screen of a TV. It reads "Yesterday does not exist. Would you like to remove it?' With two option buttons: OK and Cancel.

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up. Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

Perhaps it was a mistake for them to have proudly and publicly declared they didn’t need American writers / actors because they could just use people in other countries for less
