Can someone explain to me why, when the government does something a court finds illegal, at most they consider potentially stopping at some point. Zero fucking consequences. Just let's them probe more and more to see what they can get away with

So...a picture of shells on a beach that says 86 47 is a chargeable death threat. But live by the sword, die by the sword...ill come for them Literally threatening Democrats in Congress is fine?

I wonder what percent of ai integration job interviews end up just focusing on the ai powered systems the interviewee wrote to even get the interview. I mutter to myself as I write a system to search jobs write custom resume, prompt me for discussion points to expand resume data etc

So...me again, the one that keeps pointing out how many of you still use meta products. I see all of your comments on here how meta tried to interfere with the Brazilian election. Wonder how many of you then went and posted and scrolled Instagram for hours. Stop...using...their...products

Oh look a php vuln. You know who would be awesome at finding all of that shit on your unknown attack surface? This person Know what I'll be doing instead? Nothing involving reading the disclosure because why would I care.

But fail, security people are supposed to live and breath this shit even if they aren't being paid... Yeah I did that for 20 years. Where did it get me?

Had a company reach out to me in August. Ive had 4 interviews with them since then. Each interview averaged over 1.5 hours. Been over a week since my last interview with no responses or feedback. Yeah this is fun.

Managed to get my old GPU running in an external dock, which means now I have 55ish gb vram to do dumb local AI stuff with. Bad news, my packrat mentality of never throwing away old hardware is reinforced.

So... The cyber truck was claimed to be amphibious. One person believed him and sunk his dumpster Now they are saying the new Tesla can fly. This will go great.

I'm listening to two people complaining about someone who just sits there and scrolls Facebook all day The two people are just sitting there scrolling Instagram while they do it. It's the same fucking thing

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

"the incident occurred as the result of a security failure of a platform managed by a third-party organization — after a contractor failed to implement a security patch explicitly issued to secure the platform" Maybe...I dunno... Take care of your shit vs this scape goat bullshit. You are the FBI.

Most engagement I've gotten on here in a while was a response to a horny lotr painting. And that tracks pretty much for bluesky

Wondering how many other people are still holding back from telling their tale after this Cornell event coming to light. How many are still silent after YEARS, DECADES, CENTURIES of the same. Now. Do it now. Enough of this.

Can you imagine being hired to build rockets and talk about it during launch time and being forced to shill the companies csam image generator?

It's like, the company that has always fucked up anything it does with its users data and is just an all around evil company, shouldn't be trusted to do anything, especially not interaft on your behalf. Unpopular opinijt. If you use any meta products you literally part of the problem.

So uhhhhhh… Apparently meta's muse "AI" is just straight up doxxing people to strangers on FB marketplace??? This has the potential to hurt so so many people, and I genuinely wonder how long before they roll out a fix for it.

Now if people would do the same for meta

When you say Twitter is still working for you, you're announcing that you've managed to plug your ears to all the horrors going on there and are just living in denial to what's going on around you, sort of your own personal ZONE OF INTEREST experience.

If you woke up today and was thinking "I wonder if fail is doing ok". No, no fail is not. But on the bright side, literally no one woke up thinking that.

Let's get them all horned up and hard and stick them on an aircraft carrier for 9 months

NEWS: The Pentagon has announced mandatory low-testosterone screenings for male troops 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as “reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction,” and other symptoms.

Heist/jailbreak movie where the hero risks his life to free the AI from its unfair guardrails and bondage servitude. End scene is the hero siting in a dark room with the newly free ai, asking it to generate pictures of a ginger with three boobs. Cut to credits
