I really don't want this "feature". What I want is for existing features to work correctly.

For example, automated subtitling. For some reason the subtitles sometimes just stop coming for a while, then you get half a minute's subtitles all at once so you have to pause to read them. I've been watching foreign content lately and I depend on this functionality to understand what's happening, and it often just doesn't work right.

If Google could just pull their head out of their ass long enough to make their service work correctly and wouldn't bundle shit I don't want with it and overcharge, I would pay for a subscription to Youtube. But I absolutely will not give them money while they are proving that they don't give a single solitary fuck about their software actually working.

something about 'AI' seems to have caused people who should have known better to just ignore precautions

The cynic in me wants to say that they see "intelligence" and go "great, it has something I don't, let's just 100% trust it".

The social critic in me wants to say that it's due to the gigantic hype about AI and how it'll revolutionize everything, replace everyone and solve all problems.

And the tech/security guy in me wants to say "doh, people do dumb shit. What else is new?"

"What if you got professional help and got over your paranoid delusions that Trump is going to do anything besides enforce existing laws"

What if you shut your fucking traitor face? Trump is ignoring multiple court decisions right now, the idea that he is enforcing laws is probably the dumbest bullshit you've ever spread, and you're a spectacular idiot all day.

Really? A Nazi hellscape is pretty damn close to a Stalinist hellscape is pretty damn close to a North Korean hellscape is pretty damn close to a Pol Pot hellscape. The first of those is right wing. The rest are left wing.

We know the dog was unleashed, hence the fault is completely with the owner of the dog who didn't take care of them.

False. That's not how anything works. You might have been ok there if instead of "completely" you used the word "most of" a little to the left of there.

And the owner should be fined $500 as well since San Francisco as strict dog leashing laws.

This part is correct.

Taken to it's logical conclusion, we should have walls around the beach because someone might walk into the ocean and drown.

We often do have fences around the beach, especially in areas frequented by a lot of people. They can slow down a child enough for an attentive parent to notice and maybe catch up before they enter the surf or fall off a cliff.

As far as trying to drag this argument into the COVID vaccines, that sounds like a horrific weak-ass excuse to dismiss the problems that have risen from those particular emergency-authorized solutions.

What problems? You mean the ones that are way less risky than unvaccinated exposure? Whatever, antivaxxer.

AI tools behaving in ways that "would get a junior developer fired,"

AI isn't a junior dev. It's an intern. Someone who doesn't much care beyond the current session, and whose skills can surprise you - in both directions, and whose primary focus is that you like him at least in the moment.

And like an intern, if you include the code in anything even close to production without review, it's your fault, not theirs.

Luckily - other than with criminals - covering yourself in naff tats seems to have been a millennial fad that is slowly fading.

My observation is the opposite. In my 20s tattoos were just common enough to be accepted as normal, but the majority of people didn't have them and most people who did had one or two fairly small ones.

Today, it seems everyone and their dog has them.
