As a developer, it has mostly made me panic about the impossibility of maintaining and securing all the code being generated, and annoyed me with all the lazily vibe coded crap apps flooding every single subreddit I read. I'd gladly go back to an era of "1/10" productivity.

100% automated "I got kidnapped mom and dad, pay the ransom" kinds of scam video calls will be a steady stream of income for scammers in about five minutes. Just set up an AWS account managed by an "Agent" and have it fund itself to scale up. Have it self- A/B test the most profitable scripts. 😞

The abuse use case for unrestricted versions of these sorts of models with images of real people will be horrifying and horrifyingly popular. One wonders how HR will respond when they find out a manager exfil'd recordings of corporate meetings to train the model with the image of his direct report.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Presumably, the bearded macho special operator look gives Hegseth bad thoughts because he likes that look too much, so he's obsessed with saving everybody else from having the impure thoughts he struggles with so nobody can have a beard around him (without him getting a raging boner.)

Him going defense and saying "I presented him with text messages about him wanting to meet with people..." after refusing to actually present the witness with a copy of the text messages he could read, is certainly something. If anybody in Congress was good at improv, that would have been buttoned.

As someone who lives in LA, and is currently working on a film, I may personally benefit from this bill. But ICE murders Americans in the street without consequence and Trump acts lawlessly. Supporting Trumpists is offensive to American values. That matters.

Running old Final Cut Pro (pre-X) is getting hard these days. It's in a twilight age of too old to be current, and too recent to run on hardware that is easy to emulate it. I wasted so much time getting it installed in a PPC VM, but it doesn't actually run.

If I was on a hiring group and somebody brought up "the candidate had an iced coffee during the interview" as relevant to the hiring decision, I'd be utterly fucking baffled. It has literally never come up as a thing to even mention or make note of.

She's burning all the bridges and like "finally, I shall speak Truth to power, I am unleashed, things have gone too far!" and it's just that she was on board with political persecution, but wanted a similar approach with better optics. And she thinks this makes her look good, for some reason.

It's hilarious that Huang things not knowing his address, zip-code and phone number are a mark of how he is cognitively off-loading to technology and Klein doesn't seem to press him that what he's actually obviously doing is using the fact that he's rich to off-load onto other humans.

I genuinely feel like the bullshit of user-hated AI being rammed into every product has reached a "shit or get off the pot" inflection point. Five years ago, I never would have even contemplated something like nationalizing Google. Now I am seriously considering it the best option.

If society isn't going to break up the monopoly, then Capitalism itself is failing because there is no free market. If there is no free market left, there's literally no reason not to just seize Google and operate it as a public utility. Absent a free market "shareholder value" becomes irrelevant.

Youtube is a monopoly. Creators can't leave it because Google controls the platform with the audience. They're using that monopoly to prop up Google's AI business that users mostly hate. That should clearly be illegal. The monopoly needs to be torn apart for the sake of a functioning free market.

Weird coincidence that all this is happening the same day as the AI air control rollout. “You’re absolutely right - a forty five degree angle of approach is entirely too steep for landings, and that’s on me. Would you like me to call some local mortuaries?”

NTFS was also kind of a chokepoint. It supposedly had amazing latency, but many small file workloads in a lot of scenarios didn't benefit at all because flash was fast enough not to be the bottleneck. Linux had better filesystems, but server workload shrugged at the small drives.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Based on my on-the-ground experience during last years raids in Los Angeles, currently in Philly, I’d estimate at least 25% of ICE agents are open White Nationalists. Watch this one throw up a white power AND “heil Hitler” salute combo. This is normal for ICE. This is ICE culture, plain and simple.

In another thread Angela Collier was complaining about people overusing the term Cargo Cult. But personally I think this infographic is a good example. Make something that looks a bit like science things they've seen in passing, then imbue it with arbitrary deep meaning based on art style alone.

Fascism is always obsessed with a style and fashion of respectability, without any interest in facts and substance. So it makes perfect sense that they would doodle an arbitrary infographic-shaped thing and then complain about how it hurts their feelings.

Every once in a while I am reminded of the fact that the lead actress in The Blair Witch Project was in the most profitable film in history, and she did such good acting people thought it was real, and she won no major awards and didn't become a famous movie star even a little bit. Crazy, right?

We are entering the season where almost every single ad I see is just "Proposition X is a disaster for California. Bad policy. Bad plan. Vote no on X." And despite me seeing 500 of these ads every day, not one of them ever bothers to state what policy they are opposing. Which seems telling.

The warrior ethos is when an old general in WW1 gives a rousing speech on horseback as he confidently waves his gleaming cavalry saber at the enemy airplane flying overhead, shortly before an artillery shell arrives.
