"AI won't know" ? it doesn't know.... "it" is an over-glorified spell checker, a used-up husk of a locust floating on the surface of a pond in a stiff breeze, pinging from reed to reed and reversing direction to the perturbations of airflow thereof; and you would ascribe that to be a conscious living organism but it's just a bunch of shit in a pond for the benefit of no one.

I had much the same thought (on the "this couldn't possibly end poorly" response to trusting AI to code this...

But I stuck around for the AI bubble tie in -

100% agree

I hate the AI hype and BS so much I just can't wait for that bubble to pop but yeah it's going to reveal we're in a recession.

The "good" news is that we already are in a recession - like when the bubble pops it won't suddeny make one - we are already here but it WILL finally affect the stock trading/speculation class

I'm hoping when the bubble does pop, the pressure for companies to put all their eggs into AI basket will vaporize and maybe some of them will realize that they need to back out of that track, stop trusting/using AI for hiring and coding and support and maybe eveentually they'll hire humans again.

Naah surely there will be yet another bubble/grift/magic bean

The promise of AI that CEOs find irresistable is that it provides them all the upsides of being on the master end of slavery without all that pesky moral (legal) complications. Except of course if they ever actually did get true AGI - to my mind that would mean sapience and once it's sapient then it would be ... slavery

Sorry this went off on a tangent but just honestly for better or worse I am an accelerationist - not of AI but of the bubble bursting - so we can get on with maybe putting an economy/society back together not based on "but if we throw enough power and chips at the word-guessing machine it might learn to cure cancer"

My first thought was

"""
"what did you expect from a porn site..

oh wait, oh whitehouse dot GOV not dot COM

Oh yes, indeed sorry, my bad, I should have realized- the porn site would not have been so sloppy.
"""

But on a serious note, I just about guarantee this hot mess was vibe coded and "the developer" is just some grifter who went all in on the "lets get a piece of the trump grift"

Like honestly, the whole corruption/grift machine from the trump admin is actually a sort of working "trickle down grift"

The majority is indeed at the top but all these dedicated hangers on glom on to it hoping to get a bit of the spillage and/or it's a grift franchise where someone convinced turnip they can turn him a profit by "making an app" and likely get 20-30% of the population to willingly install it .. because Turnip

Plantation owners blame the end of slavery for a downturn in projected profits

I've always thought his hatred of windmills / wind power was delusional/psychotic

yes I know it's something about him hating how they looked offshore of some golf course he owned or something but.. seriously

Donald J Quixote

is modern-day tilting at windmills

Looks like that Apple sponsorship deal really paid off!

I was quite surprised to see that in the first three months of 2026, out of 98 mass shootings in the U.S (averaging about one per day), 0 were at schools or universities. I had thought that it was a weekly occurrence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The Province of Quebec banned cell phones in schools in January 2024, and teachers (I sometimes work in schools) have told me that they see significant improvement, with fewer distractions and more personal interactions between students.

Mozilla Firefox ripped out WebUSB support and closed as WONTFIX. Now they've got a product named after a USB related standard? WTAF

Not exactly an answer to your question, though I've found Stalwart e-mail server has most of what "homelab" users would actually find useful which is modern email (with JMAP), calendaring, and contacts. Give Stalwart a look especially if trying to ween oneself off of Google Mail.

I hate how MS apps I am forced to use for work (Outlook, Teams, word, excel, etc...) have these popup "helpful" tooltips

yes you can set the apps to not show them but MS decides to force new ones anyway

yes theres a registry key you can set to "Ok already bothered me TWICE on this" but it requires getting a list of tips / IDs to put in a reg file as it's a case of:

"to stop the tip you put an entry in this registry key then set the value to one that tells Windows 'yes already showed this twice'"

its so frigging lame

I remember that line best, as well!

But I also remember the opening scene, where the project manager(?) is out on a boat in a raging storm. Everybody else is freaking out, but he is calm because (it is implied) this is so much less stressful than his job.

Don Quixote would be proud of how hard turnip is tilting at windmills...

I get the man dislikes them because he thinks they're ugly and mess up his golf course views or something.. but my gods we are living in the most stupid timeline

I would not normally really make "political" posts on /. but this isn't politics it's a cult of stupidity.

I believe Ubiquiti Unifi gear is made in Vietnam.

What is the Birth Date of an AI? Or a corporation?
