So much of our infrastructure uses the internet now that if it goes down I wouldn’t be shocked if electric grids, healthcare, shopping, public transport, etc also shit the bed.

So he’s politicising child abuse material now, and associating it with the political right. He’s not entirely incorrect, but it seems like he needs to think before he opens his idiot mouth.

I think it was the verge. . . But a quick search yields mixed results. I dunno, honestly!

If it’s true, it seems like a crazy idea. Whether you like office or not, it’s a known brand and people have been using it for a long time. Throwing away that name recognition has to be a bad idea, especially as many people are increasingly resentful at having AI shit forced down their throats.

Edit - apparently it’s not true.

No, really it was a large slug. And TBF Mortimer is a great name for a slug.

I’m trying to imagine intel vs AMD celebrity death match.

Hey! I’ll have you know that 100% of steam users * are using linux.

* sample size : me

Yeah, pencil and paper is back!

You’re saying I should take the jumper cables off the - uh, the guests in my basement? TBF the screams are aggravating, and my electricity bills don’t seem any lower.

Given the state of my teeth, I’m not far from that anyway.

I’ve had several times a cat has run out in the road in front of my car, and would have gone under if I hadn’t stopped quickly. Happily I’ve not hit one, few close calls though.

Are there enough users here to make that worthwhile?

TBF the penguin is kinda hot.

Ah gotcha thanks.

Amazon eliminated side loading? I’ve been using calibre to convert books to azw and transfer to my Kindle. Always worked fine for me. Unless they pushed out an update to break this?

I had a song intermittently stuck in my head for over a decade, couldn’t remember the artist, song name, or any of the lyrics. I only had the genre, language it was in, and a vague, memory-degraded description of a music video. Over the years I’d tried to find it on search engines a bunch of times to no avail, using every prompt I could think of. ChatGPT got it in one. So yeah, it’s very useful for stuff like that. Was a great feeling to scratch that itch after so long. But I wouldn’t trust an LLM with anything important.

I’m surprised no-one has asked an LLM to produce a plausible version and just released that, claiming it’s a leak.

TBF it requires minimum effort from the ai. Efficient.

Nah, nothing’s enough.

Yeah, ppl say ‘if it’s free, you’re the product.’ and that sentiment feels like it applies here.
