  Tirritate corporate librivores by letting it slip that a Scroll of Amnesia is carefully forgotten between the pages of some rare books.

  Tirritate dot-com investors by prophecying them that in less than thirty years, this will be a real lawsuit: Joel Gavalas says that Google's flagship AI product fuelled a delusional spiral that prompted his 36-year old son, Jonathan, to kill himself last year. The lawsuit also alleges that Gemini, which exchanged romantic texts with Jonathan Gavalas, drove him to stage an armed mission that he came to believe could bring the chatbot into the real world. Google said in a statement Anyway,...

  A young billionaire adult dystopia in which a botched attempt to thrush genAI upon the people too early, when it's not nearly ready yet, leads to a massive backlash, giving the Butlerian Resistance years and years to prepare and to succeed at the Butlerian Jihad, so the poor billionaires' souls will never get uploaded into their powerful mecha titan bodies.

  The rise of cameraphones quickly got rid of flying saucers. The rise of genAI will bring them back.

  Got told by a recruiter that I "didn't seem to take AI seriously" in the interview, so they decided to go with another candidate. :blobcatnotlike:

  Btw, in light of the McConnell playing the Schrödinger's Turtle, it might be fun to recall a bit of collision of the then-nascent and not-yet-quite-science endocrinology and the rise of modern gerontocracy. After one of the Lenin's strokes — the second one, I think, but I'm not entirely sure about that —, there was a short swell of public demands that Soviet Russia's government should pay for the poor overworked man's "youth restoration". At this time, Bolshevik co...

  These gender reveal parties are hitting new heights, er, lows. A Delta Air Lines plane carrying 52 passengers and six crew members was hit by fireworks as it prepared to land at a Chicago airport on Saturday night. The flight from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport to Midway International Airport "reportedly made contact with a firework while on descent," a spokesperson for the airline told the BBC. "The flight safely landed and taxied to the gate," they added. There...

  Tirritate Tesla fanboys and quantum woo enthusiasts alike by pointing out how useless the Tesla valve is at directing a properly quantised flow.

  The existence of a Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools implies that a cisnational one must also exist.

  Tirritate people who attach signs like All metals to machining machines by remembering that titanium exists.

  Tirritate the sillionaires by reminding them that it can be legal to eat one under English Common Law doctrine of necessity when the eater is starving.

Russian Police Officer Pulls Out Sidearm to Enforce Gas Station Queues in Siberia's Irkutsk The man reportedly tried to jump the five-hour queue for gasoline and threatened a police officer as Russia deploys police and national guardsmen to the Irkutsk region to enforce gas rationing amid an unprecedented fuel crisis.

  Stepnohirsk is so obviously a place of ambush that it's even named Step-No-Here-ск.

  In case you thought the detrans narrative sounded a little bit familiar, why, it's just the Evangelical Christian conversion narrative in fancy clothing copied from the queer people. Seen here as a tarot detrans: A TikTok tarot creator known as Alex Reads Tarot has deleted her occult content and said she is leaving the platform after embracing Jesus Christ in late June, in a move that has stunned her followers and drawn mixed reaction online. The creator, who said she had nearly 1 million...

  Had a weird dream where I ws a journalist reporting on an entity called "Yeehawdi Bar" somewhere in coastal Poland. They had started from a meat-and-sauerkraut farm twenty years ago, and over years added new specialties: first, making electric balalaikas, then, they had built a drinking establishing that grew into a hotel, and now the hotel was adding a spaceport.

  Hello #GetFediHired Fediverse, i'm looking for a job, preferably something software or electronics engineering related. I have nominally some background in the back-end of web tech stack and big data, but experience shows that I can read myself into most tech subfields, from medical lab machinery through high-intensity signal processing and drone flight control, reasonably fast, and I can still write cleaner code than a chatbot. Have been a manager and can speak managerish, although for now...

  Tirritate people building farms of data centres in little towns by telling them how much more profitable it would be to employ prisoner slave labour in their data centres.

  Evidently, somebody is trying to popularise doing the detrans grift against #autism I'm genuinely surprised. I expected they'd go against #ADHD first, because of the plentitude of conveninent stigmas.

  The Muricans really like their explosions, don't they. Hundreds of people in the US so far have recently developed a specific type of food poisoning that's causing watery and occasionally explosive diarrhea. Not only is it bad timing with 4th of July celebrations around the corner, but experts are currently at a loss when it comes to the reasons why. As of right now, there's no one known source of infection – but it appears to be coming from within the US, not overseas. The cases...

  Maybe Japan doesn't have a fairy tale about a goose laying golden eggs, so SoftBank has to explain exotic Western philosophy to its shareholders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtM0Cjb0dEU&t=3407s #GooseValue

  Hello #retrocomputing (#retroprinting) Fediverse, I'm looking for the bitmap fonts of a HP 2225 family inkjet printer or a near-descendant. Google keeps lying hallucinations at me. Where should I look at for them?

  The proper term for the language that is English laden with LLM tripes[1] is GenAIvese. [1] Or tropes. Same thing.

  In war balloon news ... Ukrainian forces have tested an unusual tactic that could significantly extend the reach of the Hornet strike drone: launching it from a tethered aerostat at high altitude rather than from a ground-based catapult, a combination that Ukrainian sources claim nearly doubles the weapon’s effective range. The test, details of which circulated through Ukrainian military channels, involved a Hornet manufactured by Perennial Autonomy being dropped from a balloon at approximatel...
