Something like this should have more thought and intent behind it than just “let’s just ask AI to do it”

I’ve been hearing AI radio commercials more and more lately and while they don’t actually sound bad for annoying commercials I wonder what all of those voice actors will do now… Oh well.

- Comment on Dominos using AI for ads. 1 week ago:
But that plastic at least exists. You know, food artist is a real job that takes skill, prompting an AI to generate Red Blob and Yellow cylinder Pizza doesn’t really
- Comment on Dominos using AI for ads. 1 week ago:
This is going beyond the “serving suggestion” bullshit that is commonplace in ads. AI food will never look like the real thing, or vice versa, whichever you prefer.
- Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him" 4 weeks ago:
The way he looks like and handles himself it seems he is in the process of experiencing a slow and painful death, but he’s probably too high on painkillers and other drugs to really care.

Ok, that sound more like your phone is kinda iffy. I don’t mean to piss you off by saying this, but have you tried a factory reset?
- Comment on The half-assed implementations of battery charge limits... 3 months ago:
I can’t really complain… then again I probably disabled most of the features you’re talking about

OP is incorrect — macOS 26.4 didn’t set the charge limit to 80%, it didn’t set it to anything, it gave you the option to limit charge to 80, 85, 90, or 95% charge, or disable it if you’ve enabled it
You’re right, I guess I still think calling something a feature implies that you can turn it off.

I’ve never really been a Mac user primarily so I just adopted the best practices from Windows and Linux. If macOS is supper efficient that way then cool.
I still wouldn’t leave it on 24/7.
- Comment on The half-assed implementations of battery charge limits... 3 months ago:
That’s just what I do. I don’t think many people just leave their computer running 24/7.

My entire family lives thousands of miles away and Facebook is all I have to feel connected with them.
