Nothing about OP's story sounds plausible or reasonable. The criminal gangs are magically afraid of flock cameras but not any other kind of surveillance? They had footage of the crooks but it took too long to evaluate it, and yet the cops knew exactly which gang was doing it?
yeah good post, it does nothing to support your point or answer my question, thanks for sharing.
you think you have some amazing analogy but it's utterly nonsensical. where is microsoft putting this money that is going to earn it more? are they low on cash on hand? why are they not investing every dollar they have on these magical free returns that just need more cash?
SillyTavern and the size of like Character.ai at its peak shows pretty obviously that people are doing exactly this!
Hahaha, yes. Though now I'm imagining an incredible alternative world where I only install the most enshittified pieces of software.
Great timing given I just installed SwiftKey since Microsoft has started embedding ads and dark pattern redirects to Bing!
This is quite a way to admit that you don't have any writers or artists in your social group. It has absolutely gutted jobs in these industries, and will continue to do so.
If you think 'most people are completely put off by AI slop', you're living in a blessed bubble because: most people cannot even tell that the slop is slop, and are happy to engorge themselves on it.
you're living in a fantasy world besieged by an ideology that doesn't actually exist
"modern wokeness", ah, yes. Because the show about religion as a means of control, that featured strong women throughout, was broadly about how colonialism is bad and the importance of respecting different cultures, that brute force was almost never the 'right answer' is anti-woke.
I often think about leaving gmail, but it's not clear what the better option out there is, that doesn't create a bunch of pain in terms of not having good replacements for the rest of the ecosystem.
this article is literally just an LLM regurgitation of Stoller / Musharbash's reporting and research on the topic.
this is a peak HN comment in terms of cluelessness about the realities of how the world works if you're an ordinary person.
i think they would probably shill for something more achievable than a shirt you can sometimes get once a year at costco, haha
The Register has always been a... weird 'news' source, but they've gotten significantly worse over the last year or two.
It's actually mandated by the FAA that an ashtray be present in the restrooms:
(g) Regardless of whether smoking is allowed in any other part of the airplane, lavatories must have self-contained, removable ashtrays located conspicuously on or near the entry side of each lavatory door, except that one ashtray may serve more than one lavatory door if the ashtray can be seen readily from the cabin side of each lavatory served.
And the plane literally cannot fly with an inoperable or missing ashtray.
Will they? Have you gone through that process with them? In my experience (admittedly somewhat stale) it was fairly hard to get through to them, much less to get the information required to actually report bad actors to their real hosting provider that Cloudflare is fronting.
Yes, Cloudflare has always been really shitty and automated at responding to abuse reports, and because they are the front-end connection, it is impossible to pursue the report against the 'real' host unless Cloudflare is willing to provide you with information about where that host is: which they won't typically do, even if you are a fellow infrastructure provider. It's been several years, so maybe they have gotten better, but I would be surprised.
This is a great soundbite, but it's also completely vacuous. Wanting the government to take action against a clear societal issue is not wanting the government to be God.
will nobody think of the megacorps!!!
this is ice cream = shark bites levels of critical thinking
You keep making comments making it sound like you have a better view of the world than the people you're responding to, but just making personal attacks. The person you're responding to, for that specific point, is referring to: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/us/politics/troops-iran-h...
you say this as if massive corporations with extremely well-compensated executives don't regularly employ Deloitite and other worthless consultancies to do all sorts of work ineptly?
people who don't make OS preferences their entire personality
hahaha, the conspiracy i always joke about is when the first time a starlink satellite deorbiting is going to kill someone 'accidentally'.
yeah, GP completely fails to realize that Cloudflare has always played both sides. that is their entire business model, and it was transparent from the beginning that they would absolutely do the same here.
Probably related to the reasoning behind: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-a...
Or you're using Cloudflare DNS.
yes: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/china-...
do you have any other questions?
this makes the most sense but i have never in my life seen someone abbreviate someone as SO, haha.
It's much, much closer to the X -> Bluesky, I expect.
if you truly can't clock that this is AI written, you probably need to desperately develop this skill as soon as possible, because everything outside of the first sentence is so very, very clearly slop.
