Perhaps not; but who else do you want to be in charge of keeping track of the reasons companies lay people off en masse?

Great, so now there will be useless AI generated video slop next to the useless photoshopped product images - and I'm certain Amazon will heavily promote these trash AI videos to try and justify the expense. 90% of product videos on Amazon are already completely useless for learning anything about a product and this will just bring that up to 99%. Guess it's time to make a uBlock filter to hide all videos on Amazon.

I'm actually surprised they didn't go for AI-gen product photos first. Think of the thousands of man-hours that could be saved by having a computer create all those shitty counterfeit product photos.

So they scraped the internet, gobbling up educational materials in the process.

Then they told their AI to write educational materials based on the educational materials they scraped up.

THEN they had humans edit those new educational materials to, presumably, be more like the original educational materials.

And we spent insane amounts of electricity and water to do this?

And before vaccines we had chicken pox parties and measles parties. Doesn't mean that was at all a good idea, it was just the ONLY thing we had.

Hands-free installations for your phone exist. Use 'em if you want to use your phone for a GPS.

Drive when you're driving. Don't have one hand occupied with a probably expensive piece of tech that you're reluctant to simply drop on the floor when you suddenly need both hands on the wheel RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

And to expand on it, even personality could be different.

Maybe the dog's formative couple of years was spent in a house with a yard, where he met the mailman every day and developed a general interest in meeting strangers. But now OP lives in an apartment, and here the mailman is just another weird noise outside the front door - probably something dangerous to chase away.

Blood Red Panther, then.

So the OP was correct; you don't know anyone who is a school teacher; you knew someone twenty years ago.

Depending on what you want to happen in that porn movie beyond simple missionary it might be a lot cheaper to get the AI.

And how many unwanted immigrants from other countries along the American continents did the US get in that same time period?

The problem is you cannot donate to Firefox directly - only to the Mozilla Foundation. If they let people vote with their (donation) dollars, it would be much more clear to them where people want them to expend their efforts.

As an optional (or even promoted) extension, Pocket was a great idea. Integrating it into the browser was pretty dumb. Fakespot as a website is pretty cool and I used it a number of times over the years. Mozilla buying it was incredibly stupid.

If I knew my donation had been wasted on either of these, I'd be pissed enough to never donate again.

Rather than saying "Don't use this" I'd appreciate a suggestion for what to actually realistically use if you want to have a phone that can, you know, interface with your bank and stuff like that.

I'm not sure if you're being serious, or making a tongue-in-cheek example of the PROBLEM on Reddit by coming here expecting every reply to be antagonistic rather than conversational.

I'm sorry that you've never experienced conversations that start on one subject and eventually spread into others. I didn't mean 'join the sub to post this', I meant that there could, for example, be a thread about a specific game on the C64, that eventually evolves into a discussion about the sequels, the spinoffs, the inspiration for another genre etc., and in a side comment you mention that you actually enjoyed the version on the ... I dunno, on the SNES more than the original on the C64. That is enough to set some people off and ban you from the entire sub forever because that was their favorite game ever.

Imagine your hobby is getting old C64 machines to do things they were never intended to do, like still work in 2025 and things like that.

Then you get banned from the subreddit for C64 enthusiasts where you used to brainstorm ideas and solutions with other likeminded individuals, all because a mod couldn't handle being told that fun as the C64 was, newer machines are just more fun to play with.

You are now out of that hobby. There's really nowhere else to go to find those same enthusiasts. There's no one to answer your questions if you hit a dead end on something you're doing. You are, for all intents and purposes, discommunicated forever.
