Literally not what people are talking about. It’s the “AI” part of the task that doesn’t leave the device (unless it prompts to ask chat gpt). Not that it can magically gleam live info without making any request to the web…

Jeeze, fucking… get your shit straight, making me defend Apple… Fucking do better.

"All of them. Ideally.

… Oh shit, I said that second part oht loud, didn’t I?"

• Every “AI” CEO ever…

I agree, that’s why I said, “… they simply don’t use the units enough.”

I know imperial VERY well, but that’s because I lift weights listed in lbs and craft things all the time, which takes measuring. I also do 3d printing in metric, so I have a solid feel for millimeters, centimeters, and decimeters, but less so full meters because I seldom work on that scale.

Considering I had an intuition for lbs as a child, though… I don’t really buy that people suck at their native units as adults. If they do, they’re simply not paying attention.

Ehhhhh… measurements aren’t that hard to learn. They’re still measuring the same kinds of things. All measurements are still arbitrary to a human.

Basically the ONLY thing the metric system has over imperial is it matches our number system by being base-10. I know I know, it’s a BIG difference for a lot of calculations to not have to throw in non-matching unit conversions, and the metric system is ultimately based on absolute values pulled from the universe. At least by definition, as meaningless as that fact is to humans just looking at a length and going, “yup, that’s about 1 1/2 meters.”.

Anyone who failed to build an intuition simply didn’t use units enough. A lot of US carpenters like imperial units for a similar reason most like the metric system: The ratios match up to what they work with. Most people work with base-10 numbers A LOT more than base 8, 12, or 16. Though for woodworkers, when boards come in feet, blades are clean fractions of inches in size, and buildings are sized 8’ tall, etc, etc, it all lines up nicely to reduce a worker’s mental load.

I still think metric is superior, but imperial very much is not “senseless”. The biggest reason we’ll never switch is because so many industries have their ratios set for imperial units or interact with other American construction based on those ratios. Not to mention maintenance on things already built. It’d be a huge headache of a transition for many industries.

Same… and a strong urge to seppuku.

nono, think stupider, then it won’t make literal sense but speak profoundly to you about motivation.

You too can earn billions of dollars without a small loan from DaddyBucks if you simply … try (read: magically overcome every external factor that makes it nigh impossible)

The problem wasn’t having a problem. The problem was “fixing” the problem by introducing more problems.

“… by the way, we’ve already sold that feature I made up to two customers, so …”

That doesn’t mean it’s magically OK to be so irresponsible that you put others in danger.

No, that sounds more like you have a sleep issue you are neglecting and now you’re making it everyone else’s problem…

Grow up and fix yourself before you start being proud about being broken, ffs. If it’s remotely a problem to stay awake after sleep and caffeine, you should be talking to doctors.

Nuhuh, AIs are definitely intelligent!! It’s just making a joke and totally not instantly “confused” over “urine” having strong weights to kidney stones! Nonono, it knows what it’s saying, totally!!

I mean, brain worms were never just a joke.

Oh don’t worry, you won’t have to try to break the wifi.

When reaching out to politicians, a MUCH better angle might be devices that get the same treatment, and then just make sure video games and other software get included.

Example: Fitbit and other purpose-built devices. A TON of functionality goes down when they shutter their servers. To the point where some devices immediately become e-waste.

These companies are literally producing toxic garbage.

Not all of the internet. Just the weird places you might end up when looking for weird content.

It was better then, with more places to go to.

Aren’t there several subreddits for exactly that? I haven’t been in ages so I forgot the name(s), but either wholesome or disturbing, few inbetween. lol point is to gamble with the clicks.

I found Terrifier and its sequel to be pretty good for what it is. A violent modern take on the classic slasher movies. It’s schlocky, but that’s because slasher movies are a bit schlocky.

The actor does a great job hamming it up and making it all a bit more than a classic slasher, too, entertainment wise. If he tried to play it more serious scary clown style, it’d probably have faceplanted for me.

Like I said, assume they’re ALL just dumb greedy suits at your own peril.

It does affect tgem. Why do you think companies insist on enshittification? They’re not ALL just greedy fucking suits.

They get burned by making shitty decisions, so why are you deciding to turn down the heat? Fucking pathetic.

Oh, it VERY much will hurt their sales, just not this quarter. Though in ten years when Nintendo is wondering why they’re struggling to grow a new fan base, they might remember all the people they pissed off who now are not introducing their children to Nintendo.
