Copilot seemed to be a bit better tuned, but I’ve now confused it by misspelling strawberry. Such fun.

One time they told me I had 3 days left to enjoy YouTube with my ad blocker, and then I would have to buy premium, or they would just lock me out of the site. I was like “welp, it had a good run, I guess that’s it for ol’ YouTube.”
But then the 3 days went buy and nothing ever came of it.
That tactic probably did get them some preemptive subscriptions though, unfortunately.
I had to drive a truck recently, (needed to rent a vehicle, and they only had pickups left.) It was a chevrolet Colorado, which I understand to be one of the smaller trucks available in North America, and I was so happy to get rid of it at the end of the trip. It was fine on the highway, but in the city it was just incredibly awkward. Cumbersome handling, blind spots for days…I constantly felt like I was going to hit something.
I can’t even imagine how clueless you’d be about your immediate surroundings in a monstrosity like what’s pictured here.
Yeh, if I ever see my TV’s OS I’m like “fuck off! HDMI4!”
The consequences of dangerous driving should be borne by the people driving dangerously, and no one else.
I’ve always been a nerd, always enjoyed cool new technology, but the industry has become so drenched in assholery that this “grimy residue” has become its main feature.
I’m sure they’ll find something even more problematic to dump money into sooner or later.
Of course it’s not only ai, but the article’s subhead: “Statistics raise concerns that rise in demand for data processing driven by AI could derail climate targets”
Can we just cancel the whole “ai” thing? It was fun for a bit, now it’s just problems.
It’s not just remote places that can get evacuated.
I don’t live in the north, don’t own a car, and don’t worry about it, but if something catastrophic were to happen here, I hope there would be options for the many non-car-having people.
This reminds me of watching a Vietnamese YouTuber talking about getting through a major typhoon. I don’t think they explained how the buses were organized, but there were buses.
I almost have the proper gear for this… I’m sure I could make it work in an emergency. A good contingency idea. I think I’ve done about 80k in a day before, and it wasn’t particularly strenuous… you can cover a lot of ground on a bike if you just keep going.
What do people who don’t own cars do in this scenario?
This makes me think of movies, the scenes when like Godzilla or the stay puft marshmallow man or something shows up and everyone just gets out of their cars and runs away on foot. Movies are silly but in a panic scenario the car could easily become more of a hindrance than anything.
“factual accuracy in large language models remains an area of active research”
This really says a lot.
My mom has one, and the door handles are so awkward, I really don’t think I’ll ever get used to them. From the inside, it’s easy enough, but it’s also just a button, with no physical unlatching mechanism, and the window has to go down slightly when the door opens, so I would not want to be in there if it lost power.
She does generally like the thing though.
Anyone who works nights, or an evening job that runs late like a bar or something, is currently used to having the date change in the middle of their “day”. I don’t think it’s really that big of a deal. It would be super weird at first, but kids who grew up with it would find our current system just as bananas as we would find this.
The cartoonist saw it coming.
In Canada there’s https://parkbus.ca/ which serves some parks from major cities.
When I worked for a guy who kept chickens in the back yard, the eggs came out in every shade from dark brown to white, and some had freckles. I don’t know how they get them to be just two uniform colours (brown/white) in the grocery store, but I assume the white ones must be bleached. Some are naturally brown, others may be dyed.
But I agree that we should be suspicious whenever marketing is involved.
