  • Sycophantic behavior in AI affects us all, say researchers

    Jump

  • Except that your boss just found an employee it likes more than you that doesn't cost anything. The fact that it sucks at its job isn't immediately apparent because your boss is an idiot.

  • OpenAI drops plans to release an adult chatbot

    Jump

  • Right, you can afford to do that because the company you are using is taking a loss on the product.

  • How to get good at tying knots/ropes as a beginner? Should I buy a book, watch youtube videos, or join some type of outdoorsman club?

    Jump

  • The midshipmans hitch (or the inferior scouting version called a taut-line hitch) is technically less useful in almost all cases to the Truckers Hitch you mention, but it is pretty good for tying down tarps and shit for camping, so the point that the people you are with will think you are some kind of amazing outdoors genius for whipping it out like its no big deal.

    Also for camping: Tying a tight ridge-line using a truckers hitch across the top of your site and then using it to dangle lamps or to anchor tarps or hang clothes to dry or whatever using sliding prusik knots tends to impress as well. I like prusiks for this over the alpine butterfly because you can just tie the loops ahead of time and they are easy to slide around along the ridgeline.

  • For the simple reason that is is REALLY cheap to make and monetize real porn.

    The only people using AI to make porn are people who wouldn't be able to pay for it if they charged what it costs to use.

  • Yep. I bet the reason they never actually closed the deal with Disney is that Disney discovered that shitty Sora CG cost more than their in house systems.

  • OpenAI drops plans to release an adult chatbot

  • That was probably what sunk the Disney deal.

    Disney can already make shitty CG animation for basically nothing. What Sora did was offer a way of doing it without any real expertise, but Disney already had that. It was probably impossible for Sora to actually produce lower-tier Disney content for less than Disney is already able to do it for.

  • Yeah, i think they are already doing it as a pass-through with some other company.

  • They are probably licensing some bullshit to someone else.

  • At Pentagon Christian service, Hegseth prays for violence 'against those who deserve no mercy'

    Jump

  • The point of Christianity is that if you can convince people that they shouldn't expect any rewards until they die, you get a really compliant set of workers and soldiers who will let you impoverish and mistreat them because "the meek will inherit the earth." You know, after your value has been fully extracted by the owners.

    Christianity went from a cult to a state religion REALLY fast because of this concept.

    Meta and YouTube designed addictive products that harmed young people, jury finds

    Jump

  • For the two months it takes due this to get overturned by a higher court.

  • An AI School, With No Teachers, To Open in Chicago This Fall

    Jump

  • I love that we act like creating a whole school worth of idiots who don't know how to think is a small enough risk that its worth just yoloing on something like this.

  • STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY Ends with Season 2, Wrapping Known Kurtzman-Era Productions

    Jump

  • People couldn't stop whining about this show, and yet now that its cancelled they are all gone. Probably because half that shit was just more right-wing astroturf bullshit.

  • I'm not ready for fascist Star Trek, so its probably better this way.

  • Coke Canada Bottling terminates worker injured on the job, says keeping him would be too hard on the company

    Jump

  • For Americans reading this story from Canada:

    This happens every day in America and doesn't require a "rare legal principal" because it's perfectly normal here.

  • Google tipped off authorities to illicit images in Canadian doctor's account, search warrants say

    Jump

  • Sure, until it starts flagging normal pictures with its janky AI and you get your door kicked in based on a warrant signed by Google.

  • I bet everything is a group activity with these two

    Jump

  • White cat is about three seconds from putting a paw in that bowl.

  • French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle tracked via Strava activity in OPSEC failure

    Jump

  • It depends a great deal on if you have access to a real-time satellite feed and know where to look.

  • Google told staff worried about Pentagon AI deals that the company is 'leaning more' into national security contracts

    Jump

  • Remember what we've been saying since Google started? If they aren't charging you then you aren't the customer, your the product.

    What do you think they are selling to the Pentagon?
