The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble
  • Google Search is such an important facet for Alphabet that they must invest as many billions as they can to lead the new generative-AI search. IMO for Google it's more than just a growth opportunity, it's a necessity.

  • Twitch updates attire policy to prohibit implied nudity.
  • Humor and art are vastly different than spreading eagle with a black censor bar covering your shit, or drooling and licking a microphone ear to help the incels rub one out.

    Please don't insult artists, comedians, or any other talent with comparisons to that.

  • Third-tallest tower in Los Angeles sells for 45% less than last purchase price as remote work, interest rates drive down office values
  • Exactly. Spending 2 hours out of each day stuck in traffic for only a 20mile drive is psychotic.

    LA's transit system, hell even the idea of a central 'downtown', was never designed for effective mass transit. The metro rails that are expanding are better, but I know so many people that refuse to use it out of fear of being stabbed or mugged, the disgusting homeless encampments that are around the parking lots of the stations, etc..

  • ‘Nudify’ Apps That Use AI to ‘Undress’ Women in Photos Are Soaring in Popularity
  • But some people don't agree with you. They're not comfortable with tech that can nudify them for millions to see. So if, and that's possibly an impossible task, but if there was a way to punish services that facilitate or turn a blind eye to these things, then you bet your ass many many people would be for criminalizing it.

  • Mom fired as sex-ed teacher after being exposed as convicted prostitute, working escort
  • You're not. The majority of people feel that way, but it's mostly quietly though since saying otherwise publicly would be construed as being 'sexist/misogynistic/puritan/etc/etc'.

    Only a tiny fraction of society actively engages in social media. Remember that.

  • Robert De Niro accuses Apple of censoring awards speech
  • Ad hominem attacks are lazy logical fallacies that show the utter stupidity of people.

    The fuck does this old fart's vax position have to do with his allegation of Apple cutting out the Trump rant of his speech?

    FBI Labels Anti-Fascists and Anti-Racists as Violent Extremists
  • Your first half was good, but impugning terrorist actions on them wasn't the way to go.

    I do agree though: setting fire to courthouses, or creating an environment of lawlessness that guarantees small mom and pop businesses get looted is also not a winning cause. Protesting and counter-protesting where normal operations can continue is essential. The moment you start fucking with people's day-to-day is where you lost.

    PNY's New PCIe 5.0 SSD Has an RGB Cooler With Dual Fans

    We'll likely learn more about how efficient these drives are early next year at CES 2024 or not long after. So if you're not keen on a PCIe 5.0 drive due to fans and bulky coolers, you might not have long to wait for better options. Just don't expect them to be cheap when all signs are pointing to SSD price increases next year.
