I don’t give a flying fuck how they try to explain it. I don’t want AI driven anything.

Let people opt in to that crap. They have an app store, out it’s there.

The first comment in this chain is a (paraphrased) Barenaked Ladies quote from three song “If I had a million dollars”

Which fits this thread far better than a lecture on healthy eating.

I was working in a photo lab when it came out as well. The movie accurately portrayed (imo) how uncomfortably close to how involved one could feel when dealing with long time customers, even in a high volume lab where we rarely dealt with the customer. We’d see first dates engagements, weddings, kids being born, and so forth. Plenty of stories of ‘I saw Customer at the mall, had to stop myself from waving and saying hello and asking after Event’.

It’s not really much different from today’s social media and how involved some get in the lives of people they’ve never met or don’t even know they exist.

It made me double take on Robin Williams. I’d always seen him as Mork from his early career. I expected him to be over the top and funny, so watching him be serious and frankly disturbing was as confronting as the movie itself.

Turning the Stream shader feature of was the only way I could get Dune to run without a shader error crash. Good Enough is always problematic.

I was in danger of having sympathy for a lawyer, then this brought me back.

Way to take a serious matter and make it comical.

Fair enough. The creative modes are definitely worth considering, you can set build cost to zero, eliminating the waiting and farming. Survival aspects can also be tuned, so you can stand in storms and feel like a god.

Why not?

(It’s not really something I’ve ever thought about since I started using the term. It kinda just is.)

I prefer Neo-Luddite. There’s a few aspects of modern tech I eschew - AI/LLM bring one of them.

With vaping, and self mixing your own juice, you can control the nicotine content. I found it very useful in weaning myself off cigarettes, primarily the nicotine. I also found it helpful in not eating sweet junk food. Was well on my way to also ditching vaping when the Australian gov’t decided to blanket ban Vaping. I’m back at square one, craving sugar and nicotine. sigh

I did agree with some of the controls put in - not in public/shared spaces, not for kids, etc. But a total ban? That only creates a black market and a shiny for kids who want to rebel.

No where. There’s only so many times I can be ignored and be okay with it, or have my hand slapped when I reach out.

I learned to type on one of these. I still can’t unlearn the habit of having to use actual force to type - my neighbours can hear my typing on my mechanical keyboard. :D

I did unlearn the two spaces after a ‘.’ so that’s a win at least.

Zeeeero!

Spoken to someone who might work 60 minutes a week.

He can get fucked by his 60 hour work week. Sideways.

A piece of shit in a suit is still a piece of shit.

Origami and handmade cards are very thoughtful. :)

Keep trying with the folds, one day you’ll forget to check the videoguide!

I have, many times, and nothing changes, always an excuse, they forgot or were distracted by something more important. Hence why I have completely given up trying to plan anything. Like talking to a brick wall. Things only happen when I take the initiative. Special days, house repairs, appointments…

Dud. After years of having to remind, plan and remind the other half again and again, I gave up and said nothing last year. Nothing happened. Nothing happened again this year. Next up - Mother’s Day, which I expect to be equally nothing, just like last year.

I can’t wait for the complaints that I planned nothing for birthdays or Father’s Day.
