Locking up young people might make you feel safer but it doesn’t work, now or in the long term

    'Boneless' pizza can have bones, US court rules
  • iirc this article is referencing a court decision where "boneless" wings can have a certain amount of bone in them because the de-boning technology can't be expected to be perfect. It's real, but it's also being taken wildly out of context.

    This company sells real human skulls. It claims all of its skulls are ethically sourced. How do you ethically source a human skull for sale to a random buyer?
  • Thank you kind sir and/or madame for providing a great deal more education on the human skull trade than I had ever intended to pursue!

    This company sells real human skulls. It claims all of its skulls are ethically sourced. How do you ethically source a human skull for sale to a random buyer?
  • Anyway… how can you ethically source a skull and then sell it on the open market?

    You pay an intern in your marketing department to write "ethically sourced" on all your customer facing surfaces.

    Chat GPT appears to hallucinate or outright lie about everything
  • I wonder if you can get it to say anything bad about any specific person. Might just be that they nuked the ability entirely to avoid lawsuits.

    Copilot AI calls journalist a child abuser, Microsoft tries to launder responsibility
  • Also, I’m shockingly infuriated that the tech workers that would end up being the ones replaced the soonest are so busy licking boots rather than throwing their shoes into the machinery.

    Just because you aren't hearing about us, doesn't mean we don't exist. ;)

    Copilot AI calls journalist a child abuser, Microsoft tries to launder responsibility
  • The really fucking dumb part of it, you can believe me or not, is that this appears to all circle back to ancient misunderstandings about the nature of man, and attempts to create automatons which behave like men but are perfectly obedient. There is a subset of the population which tries this exact same bullshit with every new technology we create.

    Copilot AI calls journalist a child abuser, Microsoft tries to launder responsibility
  • To be blunt, LLMs are one of the stupider ways to try and use AI. There is incredible potential in many other applications which don't attempt to interface with something as irrational and unpredictable as people.

  • so this is actually the best the AI researchers can do

    Highly unlikely. This is what corporation's public facing products can do.

    How do i convince my brother privacy is important?
  • Some time ago, concerned with toxicity on their World of Warcraft forums, Blizzard Entertainment decided to implement a "RealID" system which would attach the customer's real name from their records to their forum post. In a sort of "self immolation" protest to show Blizzard how absolutely terrible the idea was, myself and a few others posted our own names willingly before the new system was implemented. It was predictably bad as you might imagine and the plans were scrapped entirely.

    Anyone else like to fall asleep when they're extremely tired?
  • I can't enjoy a good night's sleep unless I have to force my consciousness into submission with a cocktail of 1937 Glenfiddich, Nyquil, and whatever I managed to steal from the hooker I just kicked out. Waiting until you're tired is for pussies.
