Seconded. I miss that internet. This is stuff you’d stumble upon and marvel at. Now there are entire subreddits full of it.

You could do the same thing with a painting and a dim light. Just wouldn’t move. Assuming there are ”fake window” screen saver things for projectors.

True, but it booted Win 7 next, so it’s not like I was leaving windows.

Really? Got any previous images with such as spot or cover-up?

It’s still not the kid’s fault if they were brought up to tolerate and play emotional games against family members.

Having kids myself and listening to them describe their fellow students’ situations at home, or even how we observe acquaintance’s kids act and how it mirrors parental behaviors, you can bet your ass that they learn from how their parents are acting and what they’re allowed to get away with.

Autocorrect seems to have gotten worse? i remember it working better, but now I find it happily inserts incorrect words and leads to a false sense of security. I turned it off and just look for the red underlines to tell me I screwed up.

Sounds like a recipe for Unpredictable Rewards and messing with loyalty systems. Hook people on a loyalty program, slowly jack up the price, then throw in some real deals to keep them gambling for more. Don’t think an AI is necessary to do this, but corporate loves AI.

Bunch of conservatives here should head on over. Russia really is their end state.

The radio signals were essentially point source, so they’ll still dissipate. I’m not going to do the math, but like you said, others would need to be listening with the right gear at the right time to catch a signal and need a really impressive array to catch it. Yeah, the Dark Forest concept would be darkly funny.

What are these games? Steam is littered with these and waifu porno stuff… Not kink shaming here but what’s the attraction?

Vanity. No other reason.

When the person in charge puts people in those positions to hand the power to him. It’s not willfully ceding at that point, it’s a concerted effort.

Supposedly our 200-ish year old bubble of lightspeed radio signals now encompasses 75 star systems. Unfortunately the signal gets diminished over distance thanks to the inverse square rule, so they’d maybe receive a signal but not be able to distinguish it from the CMB.

Liberty for them to do to others what they want.

Their vindictive and selfish “justice”.

The discovery is that people will accept any discovery without knowing how the discovery was made, then use another fallible LLM to verify it.

Lol, dude’s trying not to vomit.

(Only a trend like the cinnamon challenge, something awful with the taste of regret)

The Segway of trucks. Lots of hype, overpriced, and generally impractical for the vast majority of people.

ah, no idea what workarounds are available to that situation. Guess if it’s only been packaged and never shipped it might be ok? Not desirable, but not unsafe.

I don’t know how that’s possible with shelf life considerations, but I guess it could happen? Usually the rules are it has to be thrown out.

Adulterating consumable foods has been a thing for a really long time. From tea having poisonous weeds mixed in the 1600s to milk having chalk or other toxic stuff in it. Commercial interests put profit first and “cut” the product to extend profitability.

Good thing they’re cutting oversight like the FDA in the US. That’ll work out great.
