And your family posted, and your friends posted.

Well that’s fun

I’m not Australian, and I don’t post on Facebook.

But my family posts on Facebook, including pictures of me. I hate that I didn’t consent to any of this, yet they’ve fed my face into their AI tools.

I was laughing so hard reading this that I had to read it to my wife and we both have been laughing historically at it

Jesus that’s realistic

They also pee constantly

I’m not his biggest fan, but good for him getting out when it felt like it was time to move on. B99 was great, he’s a very funny guy!

There’s a watched a show called The Dark Side of Comedy and SNL sounds like it can just chew up a comedian.

“Curated reality”

That’s really the problem, I’m stealing this phrase.

It seems like their trying to roll everything into the over media app and subscription

Kind of makes sense, all their other apps are pretty fragmented and crappy.

Fewer than one a month?

I guess a good heuristic is if you don’t watch one or two movies a month on Disney, you should drop Disney makes sense.

I don’t actually have any qualms with that. Power to the people!

In reality though there a planned executive order to forcing Know Your Customer rules on all US web hosts and Internet architecture, so if you’re planning on hosting a fediverse server in the US, the US government will need to know your identity.

He’s not wrong.

The US is closing the door on foreign tech by adding new KYC laws to prevent foreign countries from training AI. The obvious end game is General AI that automates most jobs with all revenue going to the US.

France is notable one of the only countries with a strong counter AI strategy.

If Trump wins the geopolitical threat to NATO is massive. His statement he’d extort NATO countries for protection money is an existential threat on its own.

The future being a continuation of the last 80 years is very far from a given.

1. This is petty and a waste of time
2. I bet this gets bipartisan support as it makes Trump look tough on crime to his fans and immature democrats will laugh at the irony without realizing they’re actually helping their opponents

This is why that last helldiver reinforce lasts so long

You don’t have to censor what it is, you can tell us what’s on sale here

That’s the entire point of an IPO.

I’m sure Steve Huffman is worried that redditors are shorting the stock as it went from $34 to $59.80 since IPO.

A rough estimate is Huffman just made at least $102M from the IPO ($136M existing stock plus $193M in options and RSUs, at plus 75% increase in value) taking his net worth to at least $575M.

He gets a $20M bonus if the stock doesn’t tank by 50% for two weeks too.

Realistically he got his shares at a much much lower price so his gains are massively outsized.

IPOs are a scam, they lower the price for banks arbitrarily then claim it as a success when the numbers pop at launch, which is clearly a market failure where the insiders get first pick and ability to cash out. The SEC should jail any bankers who work on an IPO that increases by 30% on launch day for fraud and collusion.

They can’t swipe your password if it’s wrong

They could of course enter it on the target website and see it’s wrong though, so this only works against the crappiest phishing attempts

My lawyer has advised me not to do this.

I’ve adopted a policy of always ebetering my password wrong the first time.

It started by accident.

What am I supposed to do about this?

I don’t have an excess of money I can donate to conservation. I can email my local politician but what’s that realistically going to accomplish?

I have no power to change this, but it just makes me feel shitty.
