I’d rather see us replacing train conductors. Why do we even need them? Why aren’t trains self driving? Trains regularly don’t drive due to personell shortages and they don’t drive in the middle of the night. Also trains are getting ridiculously expensive (in the Netherlands, due to privatisation) where self driving trains could be a solution to make trains affordable again.

That just makes job hunting suck even more. Now you need to also check whether LinkedIn gets you hired or passed on.

If IANA has all two letter domains reserved for countries, than why is there no .uk?

No that sucks too. Just use flameshot instead

Yesterday I half read a Dutch (paywalled) article about the German tech enterpeneur Peter Thiel (paypal). Who was boasting about not caring about politics much, but that it was very convenient to have your own man at the top (jd vance). He claims to not believe in democracy or death (that’s the title)

I was thinking… dafuq are people like this even doing in politics and who let’s them have a say in politics? This is such a clear cut case of moneyoracy instead of democracy, it’s almost comedic.

The article, for those who care: https://fd.nl/bedrijfsleven/1531173/techinvesteerder-achter-jd-vance-gelooft-niet-in-democratie-of-de-dood

I don’t see how that would make a difference from pre-AI? It’s just bad actors doing their best to upset the world. They will make use of all and every tool they can to help them reach their goals, no matter the consequences. That has been true since the dawn of humanity and will be true until it’s fall next week.

Well yes, social media sucks. But so does Buzzfeed

I use it all the time to spark my creativity. Something like “I need to write an email about this and that to such and such people. Give me five suggestions”

Here’s the plan. You write an extension for chrome that makes chrome think all traffic from [cryptominingcentral.com] is actually from *.google.com. Make folks install the plugin via the tried and tested methods like phishing. … profit

And again, porn is running the internet… i mean ruining… sorry for the typo

I think the cats, hedgehogs, squirels and otger frequent roadkill victims will be very happy if massively we start using flying electric cars

This sounds very reasonable and not unlike payment apps I use, like Tikkie or Klarna

“Buzzy tech” LOL

No, most phones are allready safe to leave on your charger all night.

Was there an exodus in waves? Did some people stay behind, but fewer and fewer as time passed?

So basically it is up to you to inform yourself and make a concious decision which ai service you use. Like how you can use ecosia instead of google or host your webserice in norway instead of the american east coast (renewable energy instead of coal)

How about other countries? There has been a cooking advice for my region for the past 5 days. It was lifted today, but a new cooking advice was issued for the region next to mine. The cooking advice says to boil your tap water for 3 minutes before drinking, because they found enterecococcen bacteria in the water.

Could this be a cyber attack? Like, there’s not really a bacteria in the water, but the system is made to think there is.
