  • Whoops: ‘AI’ Toy Company Leaks Chat Logs, Personal Data Of 50,000 Toddlers

  • Companies are rushing to install age verification in everything "to protect children," and yet here we have a prime example of a company failing the most basic of tests, clearly demonstrating that they can't be trusted to handle any data, much less PII.

  • The US is busy violating people's rights and executing civil dissidents. They'll get to it when they grow bored of terrorizing everyone.

  • I usually just roll my eyes when I see that corpospeak, but now I'm going to translate it as "payday." Thanks!

  • CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant

  • Yes, I know. I'm not looking back at the entire timeline of history. I'm looking at the most recent example, because while the idea is not new, it is not an idea that lasts on its own; people wise up over time, which is why the idea gets rehashed by different figures at different points in history.

  • Sure, but why it exists today in the US is a direct result of the robber barons' influence in the early 1900s. The core idea isn't new, but this instance is.

  • I know you don't necessarily mean it this way, but there's a very interesting (and infuriating) history to why the US reveres the wealthy. The short version is that the ultra wealthy were pissed about the New Deal, so they used fundamentalist Christianity to tie the idea of wealth to holy favor from Yahweh.

    We will have to overcome that idea if we hope to gain real class consciousness.

  • which I could have played many more hours, just because I didn't have the patience to get past a level/battle/boss, whatever

    I appreciate your feelings, but I need to point out that you don't actually know that you would have continued playing that game. Let's say you had this tool to help you clear a boss (and we're being very generous in assuming it can). Most games ramp up in difficulty, and many bosses or hurdles act as skill checks. What do you suppose would happen when you got to the next difficult spot? It almost certainly wouldn't be easier than before.

    I get that there's difficult games out there that are hard for the sake of being hard (Fromsoft has some of the most egregious examples), but that might just be a sign that those games aren't actually your cup of tea, and that's okay, even if it's from a flaw in the game design. If you're not having fun with a game anymore, you should give yourself permission to walk away.

    If you drop a game for any reason, you are never required to pick it back up, and this idea that we all need to "work through our backlog" is making what's supposed to be a fun hobby into a chore.

  • Scientists say quantum tech has reached its transistor moment

  • Wake me when they make the contemporary analog to the Apple 2e. Otherwise, this just sounds like a bunch of giant corporations that continue peacocking around in an effort to get VC money.

    I applaud the scientists, however, who do this kind of stuff for the love of discovery. Good luck to all of them.

  • I sometimes remember that there's gamers out there who have disabilities...

    And then I remember my friend who has to use a mouth controller to play games, and I'm certain they wouldn't want this shit anywhere near them. What a demoralizing feeling to have a computer play the game for you. Yuck.

  • 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI

    Jump

  • Sorry, I can't hear you over all the Linux on my computers since last year. Did you say "promises to shit on the OS and super push AI?" Yeah, sounds about right for Microslop.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"

  • Playnite is the better choice if you're on Windows, but either way, don't let Tim's dumb store stop you from ruining his day by generating a bunch of metrics that show you're only playing freebies!

  • TikTok claimed bugs blocked anti-ICE videos, Epstein mentions; experts call BS

  • You're not, but as counterintuitive as it may seem, there are people who use the Fediverse and big platforms like TikTok, Xitter, etc. My words are for them.

  • TikTok claimed bugs blocked anti-ICE videos, Epstein mentions; experts call BS

    Jump

  • Maybe—and I'm going out on a limb here—just maybe, using centralized media to document State-sponsored domestic terrorism is a fucking stupid idea. Especially since the very same platform is co-owned by the State.

    Y'all, we already went through this with Xitter. Sorry you fell for it again, but this won't be the last time if you continue to cling to platforms owned by the very people who want to censor you.

  • Google won’t stop replacing our news headlines with terrible AI | It now says AI headlines are a ‘feature,’ not an experiment.

  • Yes, and I passed that research paper onto someone who works with researchers who think LLMs are the best new invention for technical writing. It's going to be a constant battle, even amongst people who should know better.
