Someone hacked my Sonicare toothbrush and changed it from 4x30 second zones to 4x28 seconds zones and all my teeth fell out. It also used 1.5TB of bandwidth so far this month.

‘a lay-language resource‘.

IMO this misses the mark. Yes, it’s a decent attempt at simplifying cybersecurity, but if this is aimed at entry-level, non-technical people, it’s not gonna work.

One of my earliest jobs was to redesign training materials for one of the worlds largest companies. I stripped the training to its core, the true basics, and started there. The results were remarkable. I feel the urge to do the same with this document…

Approx. $2.8T spent on AI this year. This is fine.

Aliens and bigfoot too...

'This is almost certainly the largest theft of any kind in history.'

Not even close: How Britain stole $45 trillion from India ($60.4T adjusted for inflation)

Europeans care less about work and GDP, and more about living life. It should speak volumes that the historically industrious Germany is even more laid back than the US.

I legit want to know where all these highly cognitive superior women are because I have not met a single one of them.

‘Trading’

Everyone involved in this, locked in a cell, forever.

The final nail. I was an avid Redditor for the first few years but dropped off when the hive mind started taking over. Today, I just read some movie and music/feedback on there. Nothing worth making an account for.

‘Damage report!’

Reminds me of one of the internet earliest and finest rumors about Marilyn Manson: that he had a rib removed so he could fellate himself. He never denied it. He DID deny being the kid from the Wonder Years, though.

Elon's tech has been used to kill Russians and drone bomb Russian locations. Why kiss his ass?

I live in a very strict zero tolerance area, where drunk driving is dealt with harshly. No one seems to give a shit. Plenty of cars pulling away from bars at all times of day. I legit have to drive super carefully at night in case some jackass causes an accident. Half the drivers don’t use turn signals. Most people speed. Any time I see a white pickup I know to expect the worst driving known to man.

Maybe in the near future, vehicles will limit speed to what is posted, and detect intoxicated drivers and either shut down the vehicle or alert the cops. Switching lanes without using the turn signal makes your vehicle pull to the side and shut down while you’re forced to do drivers training like an asshole. I hate that this is needed but the roads are getting more dangerous.

If you’re a redneck asshole who likes to drive drunk, you’ll have a lot of walking in your future after you get out of prison.

In a note with the files, the hackers wrote, “They have our information, so it's only fair that we have theirs.”

I mean, they’re not wrong…

What the hell is the story behind this? $2500 a month for the HOA when it used to be $150? This won’t end well for the board or the developer. You mess with someone’s home then you get a nice in-person visit.

‘The sudden cost spike exposes the fragility of building businesses on subsidized API access. If your margins depend on cheap tokens, you are entirely at the mercy of the labs.’

I’m just here for the fallout. The businesses who jettisoned their talent in favor of cheap AI garbage. The ones who have seen obvious degradation in work quality and stability, but who have tried to ignore or hide it. They now have to face down CFO’s and executive management who see zero returns on the current spend and are being asked to approve extreme budget increases.

A 230% increase isn’t even a big jump. Try 1000%. That may not even be enough to cover the costs and turn a profit for AI companies.

‘24% chance Anthropic announces bankruptcy by the end of next year.’

And we haven’t even got to the part where AI consumer pricing corrects to realistic models. Once that hits, companies will drop AI like a hot potato.

If anyone believed that they could replace humans with AI bots at a fraction of the cost, they’re about to have a major wake up call.

Keep throwing money into the wishing well. This has been, since day one, either a gamble or a complete con, depending on how in touch with reality you are.

I thought this was referencing Specs, the liquor store chain.

Imagine going back in time to tell Hitler that, in 80 years, the German far-right would be led by a publicly pro-Jewish lesbian. Hell… maybe someone did, and that’s why he shot himself.

We really need to start drug testing those in charge at Sony. They’ve been at it a while. I remember making the mistake of buying one of their early digital cameras, only to find out their memory sticks were $120 for 128MB. SD cards were maybe half that. Was all downhill from there.

‘A Chinese organized crime hacked into retail giant Staples’

Very first sentence of the article. We not doing proofreading anymore?

72M children in the US. 72M shares is 1.5% of his current amount, totaling $10.5B, which is 1.16% of his wealth.

One share is worth $146. On average, it will be 9 years before these kids turn 18 and can touch the share.

In its first few months of public trading, SpaceX ranged from an intraday high of $225.64 in June to a low of $104.83 in August, before closing at $146.03 on October 16. So the future value could be substantially higher—or lower—than the value at the time of the gift.

This is Elon venturing into the ‘Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’ territory where the super rich whitewash their public profiles. I assume he received information that the Democrats are about to wipe the floor with Republicans and his influence will nosedive. It also works as a bribe of sorts, tying the success of his companies to American children. Any politician that interferes with his God complex will be taking money from their pockets.

I’ve literally never heard of W Social so it being outed as yet another social manipulation channel is a nice intro.

If I recall correctly, the last time I flew United I upgraded my ticket to allow me to choose my seat. Then when it was time to choose, there was another charge, depending on which seat. So double-dipping.

At least they admit the middle seat sucks.

Yeah, I don’t gamble. Just make a mental note that, in 2036 when there are no flying Roadsters for sale, you’re a moron.

There are no 2 people on earth that are equal. Not even identical twins.

Elon:’This is a car people will be able to own and drive’.

Someone add that to the list of bullshit he said.

19.8% of the German population are immigrants. The US is only 15% and we act like we’re being invaded. The UK sits at 19%.

When jobs are scarce and housing unaffordable, no wonder people question these things.
