  • So they do sync it up to make me hit every single red light if I’m running late for work in the morning and speeding! /s

    I bet it would be hard being a paranoid schizophrenic right now in this surveillance state that’s being manufactured.

    Or maybe its liberating since it would all be true “See, I told you the television was listening to our conversations! Here’s an article about it in The NYT”

    Wait until these kind of metrics of “rewardable” and “punishable” drivers shows up on your car insurance rates.

    There’s always a dollar to be made with all this data they are harvesting and this is just a small beginning of a series of steps that are playing out far faster than I had ever dreamed they would.

    Edit: you know I just thought about how it said begins rewarding drivers. That means they had to test this out for at the very least several months of getting all the data of “bad” and “good” drivers.

    I seriously wonder what else they’ve tested out like that with traffic and whatnot. Mixed in with the surveillance in new vehicles 2027 and onward and this is going to get pretty wild


  • Dude I agree with you and I’ve made this argument on here many times before but people aren’t having it.

    I think shitposting and memes is an actual use case for AI and I think people hating it just to hate on it is ridiculous. Like absolutely stupid.

    Making shitmemes with AI isn’t taking your job away. It isn’t stealing from a real artist. IT IS A SHITPOST

    People take this shit way, way too seriously.

    Now, video games or magazines or something where someone would usually be paid to produce something yes then its a problem.

    edit: saw a dude say something about because people are still using data centers to make their memes and I could understand that being part of the hate.

    For running your own local AI to churn out memes though? Who fucking cares.

    I remember when people bitched about using templates to make memes too. Ridiculous.





  • Had a guy try to sell me crack on the tram one time. I had my child and her mom with me at the time.

    Another dude I know got beat down and robbed on the tram.

    I live in a city notorious for violence but it seems people forget that not every mode of public transportation is safer than having your own.

    Edit: I find the down votes funny because its like “fuck your personal experiences” anyone who has ever ridden public transportation in Chicago or Baltimore or St Louis or any place like that will be quick to tell you to be very careful depending on which part of the city you are going to. No amount of down votes will change reality.

    For those of you that live in nice places good for you I’m glad you have a positive experience with your public transportation.





  • Lol “that one company that’s worth millions of dollars that you remember from your teen years did just fine after they left that website and bought another company that was worth millions with a name we all recognized since our early 20’s! If they can do it, why can’t you??” You also gloss over the fact that they relied on Facebook and Twitter to get the recognition they ever got in the first place.

    Come on now. Surely you understand if you’re selling wooden bowls you carve yourself or a local lawn care company and need to have the largest presence for that Facebook and twitter are virtually the only way. Sure there’s radio and building your own website but all that costs money and time. If you don’t have that you are forced to use Facebook and Twitter.

    Unless you like running a business that performs poorly compared to the competitors around you, that is. That is still an option!

    I hate twitter and Facebook and reddit and all that shit too its a privacy nightmare but everyone acting like you can do just fine with a business without that without having astronomical cost increases and headaches along the way is lying to themselves and everyone else around them.

    I want everyone to leave too but acting like a pompous ass about it and saying “you have no excuse not to succeed without the tools others around you succeeding are using!” Isn’t the way to do it.
