TIL washers now have WiFi connectivity. Inching ever closer to the dystopic cyberpunk era where you really can hack everything in sight.

I’m on v7 and it’s also removed in that version. I blame it on Google’s efforts to enforce apps having that new Play store integrity bullshit.

They haven’t verified that they’re old enough for those.

I think there’s actually five, haha

I hope rising sea levels swallows their bullshit island.

Yeah, I deleted my comment right after I sent it because I had realized I’d misremembered it being Resources instead of Services. Didn’t think anyone would’ve seen it that quickly, haha

Just one of many studies that raise concerns. Yes, they pump rats full of a fuckton of these chemicals that no normal human being will ingest. You could say the same thing about tons of other chemicals that have turned out to be carcinogenic. We don’t have the funds to give rats/animals normal doses over the course of a normal human lifespan, so pumping high amounts to shorten the duration is the next best thing.

Narrator: It didn’t.

Edit: and yes, the Vice article was removed because Vice’s ownership bitched out over covering Collective Shout.

Wow, holy shit. How fucking far Vice has fallen. There was a time they would go the extra mile to cover wild shit that no one else was doing. Greed and the wealthy’s critical need to have control over the media ruins everything.

It’s mostly just 2 or 3 MAGA zealots trying to pretend to be a, “disinterested third-party denizen that doesn’t believe the mainstream, so they can’t make a solid judgment on Trump or his actions until they have a dinner conversation with him in private.”

I’m so very tired of shills and cultists.

Bypassed it for me

That really sucks, man. I fully empathize with getting fucked by a greedy government that protects the wealthy while abusing the working class. The world needs to unite against the elites destroying it.

Sooo… If you’re broke, does it give you low prices vs someone who is rich?

Kidding, kidding. We all know they’re going to be fucking the lower and middle income brackets hard as hell with this. As if we weren’t already being milked dry, now they want to milk the very blood out of us.

My question is: What the fuck is the endgame? This shit isn’t sustainable. Used to be that most companies were content with steady profits. The last 40+ years has shown us that simply generating a profit isn’t enough, the profits must be constantly going even higher every quarter. But again, this isn’t realistic or sustainable. So why the fuck has the entire world agreed to condone and enable this pathway that is ultimately doomed?

I log in because it keeps a history of previously watched videos as well as playlists. It’s a useful feature to give up for many folks.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. The amount of pure hatred for AI that’s already spreading is pretty unnerving when we consider future/continued research. Rather than direct the anger towards the companies misusing and/or irresponsibly hyping the tech, they direct it at the tech itself. And the C Suites will of course never accept the blame for their poor judgment so they, too, will blame the tech.

Ultimately, I think there are still lots of folks with money that understand the reality and hope to continue investing in further research. I just hope that workers across all spectrums use this as a wake up call to advocate for protections. If we have another leap like this in another 10 years, then lots of jobs really will be in trouble without proper social safety nets in place.

By having it write a quick function to do so or to sort them alphabetically within the chat? Because I’ve used GPT to write boilerplate and/or basic functions for random tasks like this numerous times without issue. But expecting it to sort a block of text for you is not what LLMs are really built for.

That being said, I agree that expecting AI to write complex and/or long-form code is a fool’s hope. It’s good for basic tasks to save time and that’s about it.

God damn, why am I not surprised that Republicans voted down a grant for counties to upgrade/improve/develop disaster response infrastructure.

Ahh, damn… Yeah, that sucks. Do you guys have HOAs, at least? I know they get a bad wrap, but properly run HOAs can be a large boon for unincorporated neighborhoods.

Have you called the police? They fucking suck, but even in legal states they still have city ordinances that don’t allow lighting off fireworks all night long. I know in the last city I lived in that allowed them, you had to stop by 2230 and they typically enforced it on every day that wasn’t the 4th of July. The city went on to eventually ban fireworks year-round except for NYE and a 2-week window around the 4th.

My point is, if your city doesn’t have these types of ordinances, you should rally local support to get them implemented. I guarantee you there are tons of people who feel the same as you about assholes lighting off big booms at 1am.
