We still remember how to do things without AI, I mean, it's been maybe 3-4 years now?
I asked chatgpt how long it has been part of culture, and it confidently said it's been 26 wonderful years.
Whatever they pay you is too much.
A bit of kindness would not go to waste.
We MUST be able to inspect and age verify every AI slop porn image to protect the fictional children!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.
I keep telling people this, and they keep saying I'm wrong, something about it not being an actual accepted or useful definition of insanity, just a meme that caught on at some point. Their refusal to see the truth is driving me f'ing crazy!
If you read the article carefully, they are talking about lenses THINNER than a hair. I see several of the posts here thinking the width/radius of the lenses is this small, a reasonable mistake given the way this was written. Having a radius that small would severely reduce their light gathering ability, requiring very bright light or very dim images or very long exposure times.

Corporate Vice President and head of Windows, said that voice will emerge as a primary input
Translation: In the same manner that Windows came up with a narrative about why screenshotting user activity is "good for the user", they're now coming up with a narrative about why listening/storing all audio at all times is "good for the user".
Whereas to me, this means windows machines now officially join the ranks of other machines-- like Alexa -- that I refuse to allow in my house EVER. It's arguable I could/should have gotten there even prior to this; let's call this the straw that will finally motivate me to go to the mattress about the issue with other people I live with.
The WSJ is actually read by influential people in most industries and there's been a problem with the lack of pushback against those promoting AI.
I read that Luigi Mangione was motivated by his conversations with an AI. I wonder if that'd get through to them?
(It was, btw, an AI that told me that.)
The Escobar Phone Scam Saga Has Finally Come To an End
It was actually a bar phone sold by Esco. Easy mistake to make.
