It’s unfortunate, but this is the burden created by machine generated art. The damage it has created will last for generations at the least.

That’s one for the fooled side.

There is no Jobs without Wozniak.

No, but I’ll go on August 3rd.

mm-dd-yyyy is sorted by size of number sets. It is no more or less arbitrary than sorting it by size of timespan.

ISO 8601 is the only measurably better format. Otherwise just use whatever you have in your area and don’t be a snob about it.

You could do just as well googling Stack Overflow back when Google wasn’t shit.

Apparently, that’s become less of an issue lately, at least on YouTube. I follow several creators that have started taking breaks for various reasons and the ones that are open about analytics don’t see a drop from it anymore.

AI psychosis is a real thing. For all that AI is really terrible at (ie most things CEOs want to replace real people for), it is excellent at feeding you what you want to hear in every situation. Especially the ones where a real person would push back on you for your own good.

I think it’s more that corporations can afford to pay enough people to set the vibe they want.

To be honest, I think the Amish might be on to something. If we could create a sect that stopped at '90s tech, I’d be tempted to convert.

You see pi every time you see a pie.

‘Modern’ always seems to boil down to ‘drain all the color’.

The rumored price point for the ps6 is going to be about the same as the steam machine. People will be able to get their fix just as easily somewhere else.

Sony does love its proprietary parts lock-in. Having a cart that doesn’t work on anything else would appeal to that urge.

Slop has always had the meaning of low effort and non-artistic meant for mass production. It alludes to the vats of gray mush that would get fed to kids for lunch on an industrial scale. Or to the random mix of pig feed.

If I were an investor, I’d be worried they aren’t listening to the wallets with legs consumers.

That’s because the ability to barf out language that sounds reasonably like a person might have written it is relatively new. It makes it easier to fool the non-technical and the idiots that it’s actually AI in the sci-fi sense. Makes for really good marketing to fools with your money.

Interestingly, serving those texts was literally free for the carriers. They used the empty space at the end of blocks of data the phones were using to stay in contact with the network. That’s why it had that very specific character limit.

SMS fees were pure profit for them.

That is absolutely bait. Nothing good can come from getting anywhere near it.

The funniest/saddest thing is hearing stories from niche youtubers that did one of his events talking about kids they meet finding out about it and immediately asking them for money. Just an instant switch from bored disinterest to excited begging.
