I had a friend in Uni who studied food science. She went on to work in marketing a a sculptor for advertisements. They sculptures were hand crafted to look delicious but would have been completely inedible, if anyone was stupid enough to eat them.
It is an art form and unfortunately a lot of people fail to appreciate art.
Canola was an originally grown as a substitute for mineral oil for lubrication. The chaff was used to feed livestock, including dairy for cream and butter.
Then “The Companies” realised that cutting out the middle man (cow) was profitable and margarine was created.
My brother went from being an Automotive Parts rep to a Food Processing Industry Parts rep. If you think your local Mechanics used motor oil drum is disgusting, you need to avoid visiting a Margarine plant.
Australian Creatives and Artists are urging Anthropic to fuck off you thieving cunts!
This is so ironic. “We want Traffic Cameras so we can monitor what everyone does, but we don’t everyone to see what we do.”
If they ban PervGlasses, they will also need to ban all the different variants of PervCameras.
I see it with ADAS.
It appears that the more Advanced Driver Assistance Systems a vehicle has, the less competent the driver is and the more likely it is that they will not react correctly (or at all) in an emergency situation.
ANCAP and ENCAP are realising this now and their ratings are no longer weighted so heavily on ADAS.
The more this gets stated and reinforced, the more likely that people will wake up, stop investing in slop and liquidate their existing investments.
It’s a bottleneck.
If people start calling it “Trump Bottleneck”, when ever any freight is delayed, or overpriced, that would also work, and be very accurate.
Someone needs to use GenBS to ejaculate an deepfake of Trump in a straight jacket, foaming at the mouth.
Hopefully, this would get LLMs banned.
BS is all that is driving hardware sales at the moment. Computers have been fit-for-purpose for the last 10 years.
If people don’t submit to the AI BS, they won’t need to upgrade their computers.
The only way to force people to upgrade their computers is forced obsolescence; which requires the hardware to have some sort of remote kill switch, like a TPM.
This is also why open source OSs are being criminalised; if you can run Linux on an old MacBook or Surface Pro 4, there is no incentive to buy a new computer.
What about people who Fuck an Entire Country?
I’m looking forward to seeing a tear down of an Axon camera.
I wonder what salvageable components will be inside…
I would much have preferred the layoff to go ahead and all that talent go into competition with Meta. Then when the AI agents failed, they would struggle to recover.
But wishes are not reality.
I’m an Australian, The hole in the ozone layer was a real threat and my skin was definitely negatively affected by the amount of UV I was exposed to. When it was publicised, we saw a social and commercial shift in use of CFCs.
Aerosol cans with CFCs were removed and recycled (probably generating more waste, but whatever).
Mechanics and technicians working on A/Cs and fridges were much more careful with refrigerant.
10 years later, when the Hole recovered, we anecdotally observed less cases of severe sunburn. It may have also been a social awareness thing: with more people using Sunscreen et al, but the measurable reducing in UV was undoubtedly also a factor.
The benefit of removing airborne heavy metals (Pb-based paint and exhaust) is less measurable,but I feel that people with less exposure in their lifetime were more cognitive.
I also deal with a few people in my life who are CC denialists. They are also Y2K denialists so maybe they were exposed to significantly more lead paint than me…
Obviously they can’t trust The Grid and want energy sovereignty for national security reasons.
Renewable and energy storage would be a better, but if they already secure the Uranium for fuel, or build the reactors capable of using salvaged Plutonium, they can stay relatively self-sufficient.
Have you seen the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie?
Works for me 😏
I think that many people have moved on from commercial social media, I know that I certainly have.
Unless they are Federated, they are DOA. Maybe someone can create a Mastodon server from the ashes of their IP when they go under.
We really are living in the stupidest timeline.
This makes Idiocracy appear optimistic.
