this just has me wishing that reporters would start asking him basic cognitive test questions in their press conferences. what year is it? how many animals can you name in a minute? draw an analog clock at 10:20

Pixels have been affected by higher battery drain since the March 2026 update. Google has acknowledged the issue. No fix has yet been made.

I honestly didn’t think we had a CDC anymore

rtfa. they’re doing a trial at distribution centers. this is mostly training for the AI at this point. there’s no way they’re putting these things to work in stores yet. one Flipper Zero incident away from losing a half a million dollars.

my favorite part of this is that after decades of sci-fi dystopias based on fear of evil AI overlords that destroy the Earth, in reality we’re creating a dystopia where we destroy the Earth to build a bunch of shitty plagiarism bots and treat them like they’re AI overlords.

Admittedly this was 4 years ago, but the lack of documentation was frustrating. I don’t know if remote streaming or transcoding was even a thing back then, but I could find little to nothing about much of anything. Now I just don’t have the time. I switched to Stremio + plugins for TV and movies, and I’m content to keep using Plexamp for my vinyl rips until it stops working.

I was thinking about this yesterday. Even in the implausible world of tomorrow scenario where AI and robots are doing all the work, how does money retain value? Capital is created by exploitation.

truly fantastic backpedaling

A kind of Terry Pratchett, Good Omens version, absolutely. “We don’t actually have to make new plagues, we just convince enough people that the natural plagues they’ve already got don’t exist, or the causes aren’t what they’ve been told, or that the treatments do greater harm than the disease. In fact, we don’t even have to deceive that many. A handful of posts to alternative medicine, conspiracy, and mom’s net forums, and human nature will do the rest.”

child exploitation and hate speech, cool cool cool. any mention of a loose-knit global movement against fascism that has existed for decades, that’s dangerous. priorities!
