I’ve had times where I was going through my code and the docs code step by step to see where they logically differed and found that I was doing all the same things, but my code didn’t work and copy-pasting their code did. Make it make sense!

Scratch was the social media site I grew up on. It’s still around.

This would be illegal in a world not run by Microsoft and companies like it.

I don’t think so, since it’s not an image. It’s just text.

This type of large-scale crawling should be considered a DDoS and the people behind it should be charged with cyber crimes and sent to prison.

That first claim makes no sense and you make no argument to back it up. The distinction is actually quite meaningful; generative AI generates new samples from an existing distribution, be it text, audio, images, or anything else. Other forms of AI solve numerous problems in different ways, such as identifying patterns we can’t or inventing novel and more optimal solutions.

Next year for people to not even immediately recognize why it might be controversial? That’d require everyone’s memories to get messed up pretty badly by something.

Hopefully, people in 60 years will be saying the same about the top picture.

Ironically, I think the original bug would fall under the category of a glitch because it would have been a hardware failure, rather than a software issue.

Sounds like Andy is missing some core components of his brain. Poor guy probably doesn’t know what emotions other than stress, hate, and greed feel like.

Why don’t people trust Signal?

Why do people suddenly have a problem with this sort of thing? Art has always used exaggerations and tropes to convey things to the viewer more effectively than being realistic would. Lasers don’t actually make solid beams of light in the air, evil people don’t generally have red eyes or maniacal laughs, and female skeletons don’t really have eyelashes and bows. Hell, most women don’t even wear bows anymore.

I never said it was a good one! I doubt they’d bother if it didn’t make it easier for them to start charging you. Plus, card providers often have virtual card services nowadays anyway, so it probably doesn’t work very well.

I believe the theory is that without unique payment information being provided each time, one could simply sign up for a new free trial every time the previous one expired.

Is it valid science if you re-test the one that had the link to see if it was a fluke?

Oh, so mobile-only.

How did you do that?

We need to make it illegal to force people to use a chatbot. It’s just a way to create the most frustrating experience possible without even having to pay an Indian call center. It’s the new version of being put on hold for an hour and then getting transferred and put on hold for another hour, someone you can barely understand picking up the phone, and then hanging up on you after you explain what you want and making you call again.

I hate that YouTube Music keeps trying to make me waste my bandwidth on videos that have worse audio quality than when it just plays the song. 0/10 smoothbrain design, probably just to sell more video ads.

What were the multiple awful visits for?
