Yes. That’s what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.

My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.
But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.
Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.
“We could be in serious legal trouble.”
“Don’t worry. My billions will protect me.”
Pen and paper is great for whenever I can’t get my hands on a chisel and rock wall.
This is the way.
That’s exactly my experience, as well.
The PineTime is the best current option for a pebble enthusiast, since the Pebble.
But I still have to charge the PineTime every week or so, and that is with the screen off most of the time.
I miss the Pebble’s battery life.
I don’t see how even Amazon can try to kill the competition in a market that huge, regardless of price or convenience.
So I assume you wrote this after picking up groceries from your locally owned grocery store? Because you still have one - it didn’t collapse due to a Walmart coming to town?
Most of us have a solid example of what driving a grocery store out of business looks like, though.
“Not everyone in the union will celebrate this corporate partnership. Some members have legitimate concerns about tech giants shaping classroom priorities through financial relationships.”
When has a corporation and a Union ever not seen eye to eye?
(Please don’t answer. This is sarcasm. Otherwise RIP my inbox.)
Wow, I totally missed the part where Microsoft had a gun to your head.
Yes. Microsoft is good at hiding that part until it’s too late to do much about it.
There’s no industry pressure to be on Gamepass, yet.
Microsoft doesn’t willingly lose money on something unless they think they can make it into a market distorting rent extraction hellscape. something very profitable later.
Many firms are now slashing their number of new hires.
Yes. This sucks.
The main cause of this is artificial intelligence
Unlikely.
The main cause for a chill in hiring tends to be uncertainty about the future. And we know that folks are feeling high uncertainty about the future, right now. (Gestures broadly at current headlines in general and “Not The Onion”, in particular.)
Historically, uncertainty about the future is particularly high when the people have low confidence that existing and new laws will be applied in a predictable manner.
I’ll leave exactly what changed on that front as a thought exercise.
AI is interesting, but it is not the primary cause of the chill in hiring new graduates.
It can be hard to guess who to bribe, or how big each bribe should be?
That sounds entirely reasonable.
Immutable distros can usually be set to mutable with the correct privileged command.
It’s essentially security by obscurity. But I disagree with “no benefit”. An infection miss through dumb luck is still a miss, after all.
I remember those days, as well!
I always wonder about the people who drop off just before finishing the game.
That’s me. It used to be common for games to have a sharp ramp up in challenge at the end boss, and I often don’t have the time to get through that.
So I habitatually abandon games when I feel close to the end, and I watch the ending on a stream, instead of playing it.
I realize that minimal research could tell me which games are which, but even less research finds me a decent stream of the game ending.
Movie theaters are really expensive, so I’m not paying attention to what Hollywood is making right now.
Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?
Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..
I’m sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)
Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
I’ll wait and see if they can add some AI to it. But if they can, I’ll invest my entire life savings.
