Comment Not all slop is equal (Score 1) 35

I've heard some pretty sad excuses for AI slop (Shunned at a Funeral) but some very clever uses for it too (Amelia). "The best thing the government did...was invent me!"

As long as they're honest about it being AI I'll decide what I want to listen to. It's hard for it to show any creativity, but creativity is sorely lacking in all current music.

I suspect you were just asked to be nice, and through a combination of spectrum OCD and insufficient cognitive therapy, you decided somehow you were being asked to do something wrong.

So you helped elect an ignorant sociopath. Congrats on that. Maybe you should have attended more of those cognitive therapy sessions.

Comment Automative and augmentive are the same (Score 1) 62

The automative vs. augmentive distinction that AI companies and the ownership class want you to believe in is nonsense meant to keep the working class calm as their job opportunities dwindle away. The only difference between them is a quantity threshold. Augmentive means multiplying the number of jobs available by a number greater than zero but less than one (as fewer people can do the same work), automative means multiplying the number of jobs available by zero. Both mean jobs are lost, the only difference is how many remain.

This could be my next phone but has two big problems I see immediately. No earpiece so you can't, you know, hold it up to your ear and make calls like on a normal phone, you either need to have a bluetooth earpiece at all times or use speakerphone. The other thing I don't like is the Blackberry-like form factor. Nothing beats or comes close to the landscape slider layout. That said if it's open-source hardware I could at least potentially mod up a landscape slider version with an earpiece.

The only people still using it are the ones that will complain about anything they can, and will never be satisfied cause they need this one special tweak that everyone else KNOWS is stupid, but fuck it, we put a VPN in there, why not support the dumbest shit for one dude on his high rocking horse. Who immediately complains about some other stupid idea. So will give him a prompt first use ...

99% of users want things to work without having to answer a bunch of stupid questions based on some developers shit head politics and need to impress his childish view points on users.

And this is why Foxbat will always be nothing better that the replacement for IE6, it will continue to be an example of why developers and their personal politics shouldn't be allowed in the git commit history.

Add another option is usually the result of not beimg able to figure out a better starting point. Its rarely solving problems, usually adding bugs, problems and complexity.

I need a browser that isnt an irrelevant PoS that has spent its entire life with "trying to be a browser" as the last thing on its list of development priorities.

XUL, email, rrs, web page editor, VPN, all sorts of political shit, literally so many options it cant help to be a slow bloated buggy pile if donkey dung.

Jesus Fucking Christ. It's 2026, Trump has been putting his boot on the necks of major networks and studios for a year and a half now. I realize you probably fell into a coma in 2016, but ten years later, the free press, regardless of what you think of it, or fair you imagine it is, is under direct assault. Fuck off with the "MSM" bullshit and grow the fuck up.

You live in a fantasy if you think hipaa protects you from data sharing.

When you agreed to medical service and signed the hipaa notice, that you didnt read, it was you agreeing to allow them to share it for business purposes, you are not allowed to opt out and get service ... then it gets mixed in with other data and sold.

You have this false fantasy that anyone cares about hipaa beyond getting you to sign the contract.

The town can simply ban that sort of surveillance. Contract can go fuck itself if the law supersedes it, yes retroactively.

This retarded idea that a company can do whatever it wants because of a weasely contract is false.

The residents control the town, not some secretly foreign run mass surveillance company these idiots keep getting bribed by.
