Northern Ireland is more Catholic than Protestant tbh

I feel like this is a shitpost because they’re all weird or anachronistic in some way

I think they are referring to camera-blinding IR lights

I feel like filled and topped donuts are actually normal but they did it wrong

The point is to remove day/month ambiguity that would be present in numerals. Also, that French is always present, c’est toujours très important. The machine readable one is YYMMDD or YYYYMMDD

Love it when a man holds my stomach

Why is American butter in a stick rather than a block?

I understand the mass differential is ¼ lb vs ¼ kg, but why the shape?

height restrictions

I don’t think that’s going to help…

program captures keystrokes, clicks, mouse movements and periodic screenshots […] to train AI agents capable (?) of mimicking human workflows

Question mark added. Adding insult to injury, they’ve been training their “replacements”. Can’t wait to see the whole enterprise go down in flames.

Tracking Pokémons not pokes

Sicss?

Some places will slap like a 1.4 in a bun and act like their job here is done, and you’re like wha

Only went to 9, everything after that is shitpost

“When I think about what’s going to lead to intergenerational prosperity in Utah, it is not a data center, it’s the beautify of our landscapes”

This is what’s going to kill us as a species. Because a data center doesn’t do anything. Nothing worth this horrific environmental damage.

At every turn, there’s another terrible consequence to wildlife, more pollution… when did we forget we are animals, too?

Wouldn’t it be great if someone could invent some kind of technology to distribute the compute so it wasn’t so terrifyingly concentrated /s

I’d say the spectrum goes from local ML, that seems fine, to recordings being made, leaving the device and being potentially seen by other humans (even “anonymised”), that’s much more problematic.

Sounds great for watching videos, reading, music. Can’t wait.

Everyone’s losing their shit over an additional sensor. Does everyone think their phone is constantly recording video because it has a camera on it, the same with the microphone? Laptops?

Maybe if it was Meta? I don’t think Apple’s business model incentivises personally identifiable spying or keeping any recordings outside of their standard analytics and “improvements” model.

They have been caught being pretty ham fisted with using third parties to process this data (eg. Siri recordings), so I wouldn’t put it past them for any of these anonymised recordings to fall into anyone’s hands really, but that’s why you can now turn them off.

Which I would immediately do. I would never buy these anyway, and it sounds like a terrible idea, but some of this freaking out is giving them way too much credit.

Whatever makes you feel big and strong!

Even if it had existed and replied with an answer, we all know it would be a giant fucking gamble. To rely on it you have to be a giant fucking moron, although who else sings “I am genius” to themselves
