- Comment on Apple urged to axe AI feature after creating false headline claiming that Lugi shot himself 8 hours ago:
And at this point, we can safely assume these business leaders will use it for their own personal enrichment at the expense of the rest of humanity, and for that reason alone I’m happy to avoid it wherever possible. Don’t feed the beast as it were.

“A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.”

It’s a mistake to think they even consider the people dying by their decisions. It doesn’t cross their minds, their only focus is the money they’re making.

7200’ here, I’ll keep my furnace as well. I usually only keep it at 62°, unless I want a $600 gas bill. But, that the tradeoff of having mild awesome summers.

You could resort to what Will Ferrell and John C Reilly did in Stepbrothers
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 3 weeks ago:
Maybe for a front yard fence, but not a backyard. Plus if both neighbors put up s fence against each other, you’d have no way to nail/screw the slats to the frame.
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 4 weeks ago:
Probably the exception to the rule. I did as well, and constantly find myself at a loss for how it simply doesn’t occur to most people to stop and think about something for a split second as opposed to just impulsively doing whatever.

Not stupid, just too many years on the internet. I thought the same thing at first glance.
- Comment on Period tracking app refuses to disclose data to American authorities 5 weeks ago:
Be careful with that, it could make you a target for a visit
- Comment on Period tracking app refuses to disclose data to American authorities 5 weeks ago:
Or they could just store the data locally on the user’s device and not transmit it back to a central server, such that the company never even has possession of the data nor any way to retrieve it?

- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 1 month ago:
The DNC does not have the peoples’ best interests in mind. Not to say they aren’t the same as the GOP (not by a wide margin), but they are the political extension of their corporate donors. This is the reason why they don’t push forward with universal healthcare, why they’re cowards regarding Israel, and why not much meaningful legislation makes it through the gamut that puts the populace first. This is what conservative voters are done with, and many Democrats are fed up with as well. The GOP, for all their evil faults, actually do execute on the issues that their base cares about, though those action tend to be reprehensible.
Any mainstream Democrat candidate will NOT put forth or affirmatively vote for legislation or policy that goes against their donors’ wishes. The GOP are the same way, but at least they’re up front about it. But it hasn’t been just this election cycle, they’ve been this way for a long time. This is why many call them spineless, but it’s not about that; they aren’t paid to represent the people, they paid to pretend to care while preserving the status quo (their corporate “donations” far outweigh their salaries for the “right” politicians). Everyone and their mom has been screaming corporate greed for the last four years, yet not a single political committee has put forth an honest effort to go after corporations for price gouging, because they’d lose their campaign donations, similar to how any candidate that goes against Israel would get financially throttled.
