A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.
My brain accepted this new piece of information and immediately tried to recalibrate my sense of wellbeing based on how much time I spend playing cozy games.
So there was a bizarre moment where I felt positively dandy.
Did anyone else get a mental health buff just from reading this headline?
GNOME spawning 3 new DEs every time they have a major version update
Probably have a few cards running the displays and the rest of them mining some sphere-themed memecoin
Alright, but if I end up getting stuffed in a goo-filled pod so the AI can suck my energy out through a massive plug in the back of my head, I’m gonna be pretty upset.
I think this is a good enough reason to actually put in some effort to phase out ipv4 and dhcp. There shouldn’t be a way for some random node on the network to tell my node what device to route traffic over. Stateless ipv6 for the win.
Can’t upvote this enough, made my jaw drop when I first saw it
Sucks that we live in the one timeline where AI is guaranteed to become an agent of coercion and exploitation, and do a better job than any human at optimizing the system of inequality.
Glad Apple and Google are getting the boot, but you can be certain the best interests of the consumer were not part of the consideration.
For the record, I’m not super worried about AI taking over because there’s very little an AI can do to affect the real world.
Giving them guns and telling them to shoot whoever they want changes things a bit.
I don’t think an algorithm is responsible for the fact that most sane people are generally against genocide. People being pro-Palestine in this specific situation is a humanitarian response and should not be causing any amount of concern because it is the morally correct position here.
HOWEVER, the fact that we just witnessed the fucking letter to america go viral on tiktok, wherein a soul crushing amount of people publicly stated they agree with a fucking jihadist manifesto, is cause for a massive amount of concern. Tiktok definitely needs to face consequences for letting that happen. We also can’t excuse the audience for that type of behaviour. Whether it came from a deliberate propaganda campaign, or a sketchy algorithm, or just mass stupidity, audience members need to be better. If you read the letter to america and you think bin laden was right, you’re a moron, and you’re contributing to the problem.
To be honest, I’m not sure if Black Bag is really much of a spy movie. There’s barely any action or international intrigue, it’s almost all just stuffy british dialogue. For that reason I’d call it more of a mystery/whodunnit flick that just happens to be set in a spy agency. It’s definitely no Bond film, but I think it holds up pretty well for what it is. I had a good time watching it.
