    I am truly about to blow a fucking valve about technology no longer working. I have an audiobook program on my Android phone. For some reason it is not compatible with the fob I used to connect my headphones to the phone, and constantly detects the fob hitting the play button, like constantly, so a single word might stop and restart five times, creating a disturbing, Max Headroom effect. 1/

    RE: https://thepit.social/@stevenbodzin/116691825746396438 What I did here is something I wish people did more often. I posted my IDEA for an image, rather than going to Mecha Hitler and struggling for a while to get the image I wanted and then posting it. I saved a lot of energy and water, and I provided all the information I needed to provide. There is a lesson here. Instead of prompting an AI and sending the output, JUST SEND THE PROMPT.

    RE: https://thepit.social/@peter/116685854809215083 Lawyers really need to get on this. The profession can protect itself against the flood of idiotic pro-se filings and the fake precedents cited in AI-written briefs. But it goes much further, because the concepts like honor, fair play and reputation come naturally to humans and do not come, even after a lot of work, to computer programs.

    You really wouldn&amp;#39;t know it from elsewhere but Waymo self driving vehicles have taken over SF. They are at least one of every 20 cars you see. I saw 4 at one intersection last night. Seeing them in life has eased some of my concerns. But now, I have a new nightmare scenario about them. 1/3

    Remember everybody: The whole NY AG case against Trump began because Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, representing Queens &amp;amp; the Bronx, asked Michael Cohen if he had ever seen the Trump Org overstate assets to one audience and understate them to another. This is what Congressional questions can do. It is a travesty that most members just rant for 5 minutes and then give witnesses 5 seconds to respond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zmgQDRU6v4

    It&#39;s worse than I thought @anildash@me.dm : &quot;I talk to young founders these days and for them, there’s no other world than the Trump world. I ask them what inspired them to go into tech and they say they read Marc Andreessen’s manifesto, they read Peter Thiel’s books, and I think, “Oh, your brain’s cooked.” They come in pre-pickled. But everyone else who could have told an alternate narrative has been hounded out of the industry.&quot; https://sf.gazetteer.co/theyve-pickled-each-other...
