LLMs can be confidently incorrect - I would hope that teachers are teaching this in classrooms as much as they poo-poo'd wikipedia a decade or so ago.

"back" to piracy

Once again, and YET STILL, here is an example of "advertisers" absolutely gutting you for whatever data they can possibly get, and paying a pittance to developers. Online advertising needs to be banned full stop. They are gluttonously gorging themselves on your personal information, fuck em all.

Napster seems to be the issue here, why are they also suing Sonos? This is shady as fuck.

I can literally trace all of society's current ills to online advertising - the death of actual journalism, the rise of heinous social media, the rise of right wing authoritarianism due to the nature of sites that can stay alive due to advertising.
At least we have people willing to contribute to OSS. The internet as it was is still under that thick blanket of crap in some places.

Google's online ads are shitty for end users? Perish the thought! I was told online advertising is the backbone of the internet! Surely this glorious and wonderful panacea that allows people to post their banal thoughts and make money from selling our internet usage and mindspace (not to mention personal data) is only ever a tool for the good of mankind! Corporations only ever have our best interests at heart, surely!

There are so many hallucinations whenever I use LLMs, it's a wonder why people are pushing these. It's like they need something new to jangle in front of consumers to make themselves feel relevant. I don't need this AI, thank you.

"This why", replied Zog, gesturing vaguely

The last C in CBC is Corporation, not Company.

You do realize that more people live in the hot areas of earth than the cold areas?

The companies who are advertising to you, and you, are being stolen from, and fleeced by, the online ad "services". If you are a developer who works for these companies, it is your moral duty to sabotage online advertisements, especially the ones which are collecting vast amounts of user information. If you are not ethical in your programming you are merely an automaton, and will get replaced by AI.

You are simply a cog in the machine.

There is no security risk in a document that sits in your computer unused and unopened. It is not nefarious just because it is the Bitcoin whitepaper. It would similarly not be nefarious if instead it were a simple "Hello World".

People are saying this is an example of how you can't trust "walled gardens", and like.. Yeah, you cannot trust walled gardens but this is not an example of why.

Stop your pearl clutching and go find actual nefarious things

Essentially: one of the main reason to use ads is because people don't like them and will pay to not have them? Are all advertising cock jockeys this dense? Gobbling that advertising dingus must be scrambling their brains. Sloppily fellating advertisers is not going to get you friends like you think it will, becky.

Fuck, I am glad I have an adblocker. Fuck all those advertisers. Totally irredeemable.

Gimme a goddamn EV truck please? Why is this taking so f***ing long?

If you're serious about protecting people from infectious diseases, then you should require everyone to remain at home when they have any infectious disease.

I am 100% supportive of requiring people to stay home and not spread infection of any communicable diseases. Again, a rational corporation will recognize the value of not taking out a significant portion of their human resources.
