  • A “QuitGPT” campaign is urging people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions— Backlash against ICE is fueling a broader movement against AI companies’ ties to President Trump.

    Jump

  • not just chatgpt.

    Stop using Amazon, Meta products, Netflix, Spotify, etc.

    All of these massive corporations are actively making life worse for people, and it will only get worse and worse as people continue to stay subscribed.

    The only option is to log off and find an alternative.

  • What's an objectively terrible movie that you love anyway?

    Jump

  • I definitely wouldn't class it as "objectively terrible" but I have been seeing a lot of sentiment that the tonal shift in Click made the movie awful, and if the script had been taken more seriously from the start that it could have been a great movie.

    I actually found the movie to be great, it was one of my favourites when it first came out.

  • As a QA, I raised the very real risk that should tensions with America escalate, they could effectively cut us off and our business would be kaputt.

    What happens if AWS goes down? We use Google. What happens if both go down (or cut us off)? We're fucked.

    The answer to me raising the risk was a, "Haha, yeah, true, we'd be in big trouble..." but there's no actual appetite to do anything about it. We're so tied up in AWS that I can't imagine there ever will be.

  • I'm not sure why this is getting so much hate. I find it to be quite true for many peoples perceptions.

    How many dads have been called our for hanging around a play area, when there own bloody child is on a slide?

    How many mums have been called out on social media for posting a video of their child enjoying a burger?

    I think there is truth to the comic. Is it true in every scenario? Does it capture what we all think and feel? Is it profound? No, no, maybe not. But it's still a commentary on a real divide between parents.

    I mean for goodness sake, some people describe a father looking after his children as "babysitting" and mums often have so much expectation on them to be perfect. We all benefit from societal commentary like this.

  • Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE

  • thing you just can't buy elsewhere anymore

    Yes and no. For example I had to buy double-sided tape and went into four different stores in different areas of my city and only found it in the fourth store after researching.

    I checked on Amazon after the fact, and could have had it delivered to my door same-day lol.

    I don't believe there's anything you can only buy on Amazon... but it IS so bloody convenient.

    Edit: China-owned, so it's a pick-your-poison kind of deal.

  • What's the dumbest/silliest reason you got in trouble for in school?

    Jump

  • The first thing that came to mind wasn't actually in school, it was at home, but it was when I had just got home from school so I hope it's okay.

    I was eating nutella from the jar, with a spoon. Like a goblin. I had a huge amount on my spoon. Suddenly, the front door opens and in my embarrassment for eating this large quantity of hazelnut sugar, I quickly shoved the jar away in the cupboard, and snuck by my parents with the spoon behind my back.

    Uh oh. I was planning on eating the nutella in my room, off the spoon, but I realised it was far too much nutella. Maybe I lost my appetite. Either way, the only recourse in my mind was to dump the contents of the spoon down the toilet, and stash the spoon to be returned at a later date.

    Not only did the nutella not flush, but I also didn't notice that it hadn't flushed, leaving a sight that I'm sure we can all imagine. My parents were furious, we actually had guests so they were livid that they could have seen this. They pulled me to one side, were basically yelling at me: "We're not mad you did it, we're mad you're lying to us about it."

    I didn't know what to do. I just kept telling the truth. I was eating nutella and didn't want to get into trouble for the gigantic spoonful so I tried to hide it. Resulting in a stalemate.

    Anyway, I'm not sure they actually remember this happening, but it was quite traumatic for me because I was otherwise quite a good boy.

  • What thing at work made you rage quit your job?

    Jump

  • I have rage quit two jobs.

    A long time ago I worked in a supermarket as a personal shopper. It was a pretty decent job, early start (4am) but an early finish, so it felt that I had the whole day to do whatever I wanted, though I was tired.

    Skip ahead to Christmas eve, where everybody apparently has left their huge shops until the very last minute. Not only through our online service, but also in person.

    Imagine this: You are being pushed to complete orders as quickly as possible and being called out for being slow, not only that, but every aisle is so full of people that you literally cannot push your trolley through them. I literally couldn't move or do my job. I'm fairly embarrassed to say that I walked out, didn't even tell anybody, and to my surprise I never got called out for it (I think it was too busy to notice) and the way the system worked, one of my colleagues would have just got the order and completed it without me.

    The first job I ever quit, I must have been 16 years old. I was working as a promoter for a bar in a small town, essentially walking around with a sign, hanging out flyers, etc. ironic that a 16 year old is advertising a place they wouldn't otherwise be allowed into, but it was cash in hand and pretty dodgy.

    On my first night I was promised $50 for my work, but ended up being given $25 because they said it was a trial night. Suddenly my nightly salary is $25 and as a 16 year old, I'm a bit too scared of this dodgy guy in his car that was paying me to ask for the full amount.

    Skip ahead a couple of weeks (I work maybe 3-4 nights a week, hours are like 10pm-5am) and tonight, it is pouring down with rain, I'm freezing cold, my uniform involves a t-shirt, and it is genuinely just a horrible experience.

    I go to my boss, and tell him that I'm gonna go put my coat on and he says that's not part of my uniform. I get a bit ballsy and tell him I want the extra $25 for the night before, and he said he never promised me anymore money than $25. So I walk home, in the rain, feeling hard done by but also like I learnt a valuable lesson. I never worked for less than I was worth after that.

  • Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck

    Jump

  • There is a small bit of intrigue here, imagine you get to a boss and think, 'this is impossible' but there is an ability to observe a ghost of your character taking the boss on in your gear.

    Bare in mind as well that 'AI' has existed as a word in gaming for decades and has nothing to do with LLMs, surely this is achieveable purely with the gaming definition of 'AI' simply coding the PC also as an NPC that reacts to things.

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards

  • I don't know. It's not really up to me to figure that out, either. Companies should self-report on their AI usage.

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards

  • That's fine, but they did use AI in development, so whether or not they removed the assets they should not be included in this award category.

  • You are whining about what "girls get away with" I think there is a maturity-issue here for sure, and it is your own.

  • I don't think there is any problem with using AI art as a placeholder until the real art is ready.

    I also don't think there is any problem with being disqualified from a competition that says "No AI Art" for doing so.

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards

    Jump

  • Or like they submitted a game to an award that said no AI in development, said they didn't use AI in development, when in reality they did.

  • DEI

  • Reverse racism is just racism. Not sure what the point or value of the extra semantics are.

  • Conspiracy Theories

    Jump

  • Right, but a conspiracy theory would be to go back to before climate change was a widely accepted thing and then claiming that Exxon were sitting on information that could ultimately lead to the end of human civilisation.

    Many people make such claims about things that are currently happening, and are all lumped in together as insane people that should not be trusted.

    Who are you to say there "are a handful" of legitimate conspiracy theories? Have you yourself looked into them yourself, or are you just saying what the majority would?

    Just with the Trump administration itself, I would say there are hundreds of conspiracies going on there. Whilst many of them are out in the open, there are others we can theorise on.
