  • Agreed. They also in many cases remember when the Internet “was good.” When every single website, tool, or product wasn’t tracking every microinteraction, when your email spam was Re: Re: Re: Re: forwards, when social media was a microcosm of what it is today , and when bots didn’t make up like more than half the user traffic. So the shit purpose built to engage kids and boomers falls flat.

    And to your point about lying on the Internet, they forget (or flatly refuse to acknowledge) that like a corporation or government can and have easily create user accounts that look like normal people to convince people of things. Just because the name “John Goodbrown” sounds like a down to earth American and his picture is of him and his truck and cowboy boots doesn’t mean it’s not one of thousands of bot accounts created specifically by the FSB to cause chaos and stir opinion.






  • Ironically more people will likely read through the feature list at least because they are only there to hunt for AI Disclosure and post their rage but now otherwise have to actually know what the project does first and that it was not created with the use of AI second, so they can ignore it and move on, which may be the very reason for OPs comments and all those upvotes to begin with.

    Granted it’s a double edged sword because there are also people who are genuinely interested in most new projects but want to quickly pass on something if AI is involved.



  • The thing is, is that the reasoning is sound. If someone was forced into bestiality because they were a victim of trafficking or something they shouldn’t be disqualified from working somewhere.

    But voluntary bestiality should just be a felony, and then the fbi should not hire convicted felons rather than there being an entire senate hearing to discuss the nuances of bestiality in relation to FBI employment when there’s 1000 more pressing issues these fucks should be talking about.



  • Now, Lipps has filed a lawsuit against the city and one of its detectives over her arrest. It alleges that Detective Lucas Heck proceeded with charges despite knowing that Lipps lived in Tennessee, had never visited North Dakota, did not match the physical description of the suspect captured on surveillance footage, and had no unexplained funds linking her to the thefts.

    So the ones she’s suing. She likely can’t go after the software company because it’s very likely they just have like a confidence score and a legal thing that says “when you use this we’re just providing an estimate and possible match and you need to do your diligence.” But the fact the state/city/department has no policy that more corroborating evidence is required for an arrest / jail and that detective just blanket trusted the software without any other evidence means they should be the primary targets of the lawsuit. Additionally this is ripe for political candidates to take on, so I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten some politician using her as an example for more stringent policies in the use of facial recognition by law enforcement.



  • Well for stores of this style yeah, probably before like the 1890s or so. The store owner probably lived as part of the store, opened at sunrise, closed when it died down, but would come down for you and open up if you knocked real hard.

    But like public markets have always had pretty strict hours, often historically around church. Church is out, bell rings, market is open, ring another bell, market is closed. And a lot of that was actually in place to prevent people from getting in earlier, buying up everything, and then selling it at a premium. It was like the anti-scalper for medieval markets lol.

    The other half of that though is that while capitalism brought about more strict timekeeping you’re right, though ironically the strict hours allow for things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Closing_Association that morphed into more and more labor protection we see today
