When I said I liked Cyberpunk 2077 I didn’t mean I wanted the human rights violations

[AmGroot]

The fact they are using AI, a piece of technology infamous for hallucinating and being confidently wrong, to decide if people should get unemployment benefits is absolutely crazy

[CanIGoHomeNowPlease]

I feel like they missed the bleep on "asshole" just enough that they actually bleeped "poor". I think that is insightful commentary on modern society. It is more acceptable to be an asshole than to be poor. Nicely done techlinked, nicely done.

Nevada using Ai for employment benefits is dystopian

Google has become trash for looking anything up since about 2016 when they started feeding you ads more than search results.

How much patch could a windows patch unpatch if a windows patch could unpatch patch?

[HarmonicDuality]

Gee, I wonder if the reason why a bunch of security flaws got introduced is because the developers are pushing out daily updates without testing them...

There are entire generations out there who will never know the pain of trying to re-fold a paper map.

I haven't ever "upgraded" from Windows 10. This week, an update installed Copilot, and pinned it to my task bar. I'm glad I was allowed to uninstall it!

AIs choosing who gets care and who doesn't is one of many reasons that health insurance is absolutely broken. You have to file normally covered claims 3-4 times before they get approved because the AI keeps rejecting them under irrelevant reasons.

And nobody is surprised by Microsoft's incompetence...

8:10 what do they mean “Figure out what happened?” They built a nuclear power plant on a fault line, and then the first natural disaster sank it. After that happened, they kinda denied responsibility and just let it all sink and irradiate the ocean.

The nuance of multidepth removed consequences that depend on the social network of humans is literally something AI is the worst at.

The US is hard going backwards when it comes to human rights and actually caring for its citizens.

When we went through radiological worker training, they told us “ya know if you take an acute dose of radiation, you don’t get super powers or a third arm or glow in the dark or anything cool like that…. You just die… painfully and slowly.”

Sooo jokes are fun but… reality kinda sucks. Time distance and shielding … remember them. Time around it. Distance from it. Put something in the way if you can :)

$2.8k for a tri-folding phone is pretty crazy but it does look cool

[Danominator]

I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft allowed this on purpose to make people think Windows 10 is unsafe, thus scaring them into upgrading to 11.
Don't even start saying that's impossible in this age, you know that's not true.

"It worked and we learned a lot that we're going to apply to OTHER cases" is a lot of words to say that the underwater servers were not worth it.

That SpongeBob laugh was eeriely accurate
