Okay, I admit it. I don’t have friends.

I think of a tiny robot arm and sensor array that lets a human surgeon see and work on smaller parts of a patient than they could otherwise manage safely.

I guess that would be a cyborg surgeon.

The Pitt is covering this, and in an early episode from this season they had one of the doctors point out that the LLM transcription incorrectly labeled a medication.

Medicine has a very low tolerance for errors. If I ask ChatGPT what episode of Downton Abbey shows lord whatshisface vomiting blood and it tells me that episode was the Red Wedding, worst case scenario is I look dumb. If Claude tells a doctor “this patient doesn’t have any existing medications that are contraindicated for propofol,” and it’s wrong, that patient may die on the table.

If we had a functioning regulatory framework in this country there would have been a law passed somewhere around 2010 restricting the kinds of data collected and how long it could be stored. Instead we have data brokers selling data to cops outside fourth amendment protection and it’s totally fine because people “agreed” to have their data collected and sold on the open market.

The only march where you can be certain if it’s more than 5 people they’re paid protestors.

Purple Man should be labeled “billionaire elites.”

I was going to say, image macros recontextualize the original image but usually not to the point of reversing the original meaning.

You never know, you could douse her in tequila and light a match, that would make her hot.

I don’t know for certain but given the fact I’ve seen German riot cops with helmets and shields I’d bet the answer is “yes of course.”

This should be disqualifying for any elected official. Regardless of party or other ideology, the most basic function of an elected official is to serve the public who elected them transparently.

You mean “experts” who have even the slightest understanding of how software works?

“We’re selling a game. You treat it like an investment when we just want more people to play. Please, accept our invitation to go fuck yourselves.”

Cheaper than the Makhno look with the $900 pants.

If no one buys these shoes that fall apart after breaking their toes, the growth of the Shoes-That-Injure-The-Wearer industry could really take a hit!

Except there are zero contracts in place to actually build those data centers, nor is there enough power generated to run them. I really wish tech journalists would do the background to determine if what these documented liars are saying is even possible, never mind likely.

Thank you, Threads is a garbage pit.

I appreciate the TLDW because the thumbnail made me think this was about bee vomit, not a scammy browser plugin

Yeah, his photos and other content he generated may be retrievable via personal backups, but if he bought media or apps from Apple, those are unavailable if he’s not authenticated via Appleid, and if his devices can’t authenticate he is basically unable to use them for anything.

Using “ruckus” I the title and not referencing Wu Tang in the article? Straight to jail.

He couldn’t even understand the underlying message of the Lord of the Rings, you can’t expect him to understand the Bible.
