Didn’t they actually have people in robot costumes previously though?

Sharing this post I made 5 months ago:

I’m an IT consultant and I had a meeting with AWS yesterday. My manager asked me to give the AWS team an overview of our solution so they could see what they could use for a new program they were pitching our clients. That’s all the information I had, so I started the meeting by saying “I’m not sure what you all are proposing, so I’m going to give you a high level but please let me know where you need more details.”

After I had finished giving my overview, I tried to get more info out of them about what they were proposing to build. I shit you not, their response was that they wanted to "build an app that allowed the business to run with AI and ML (Machine Learning).”

They didn’t say, “we want to solve X and Y problems” or “enable Z functionality.” Literally their entire goal was to build something with AI. I’m glad I wasn’t on camera or in person, because I literally face-palmed.

This boy’s got the look of a future Supreme Court Justice.

I love the angry eyebrows in the last panel

I’m curious if this is a straight port or if they updated anything.

“Alright, let’s turn on the AI Mega-Thinker 3000 ^TM and see what it says about solving climate change.”

INVEST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY AND OVERTHROW THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS

“…well that can’t be right.”

I think there are a few unchecked bots that do that. Every once in a while I’ll make a post or comment and it goes to 0 immediately.

I watched The Wire way too late in life. I watched it last year and my wife couldn’t get into it because of the old technology, but fuuuuuck was it good.

And then once you finish it, you can watch Breaking Bad again. Then El Camino. Then loop back around the Better Call Saul again. And once you’re done, you can watch Breaking Bad again…

The thing that’s so great about Mr. Robot is that it ends perfectly. You can tell the show writers decided exactly what story they wanted to tell and then executed on that plan. They didn’t just meander about and eventually land on a half-assed ending once the show’s budget dried up.

I went back to Voyager, which is a shame because I really like Sync and pay for the premium version. But yeah, it’s completely unusable right now.

I wonder if they censor mentions of Lemmy or if all the people that left for Lemmy are gone and no one noticed. Like, why are people still there and putting up with more of Spez’s bullshit? Do they not know they can just leave?

I’m with you in this one (so expecting downvotes). I’ve got 5 people in my house that all watch a shit load of YouTube. Originally I used Vanced on my phone, but realized that my kids were watching YouTube on the TVs and on their personal devices. At one point, I went into my daughter’s room at night and saw there were ads playing on her device where she had fallen asleep watching YouTube.

So once Vanced shut down (I know there is ReVanced and other alternatives) I decided to start paying for YouTube Premium. The reality is, being a tech nerd is fine for me, but it wasn’t easy to scale up and protect my entire family from ads on all their devices. So I figured that a few bucks a month was worth it for me.

I’d really like that Lovense machine to boof my clacker

I’m a native English speaker and I still had to Google three words in that sentence.

Get a practice lock that you can re-pin. They’re cool so you can see what it’s like to have spools or serrated pins. I messed with one for a while and then was like “I wonder how much harder it would be to pick my front door lock instead of this cheap practice lock?” Turns out, the front door lock is ridiculously easy compared to a practice lock.

Kamala did this the during the debate and it worked much better than I expected. She was basically like “yeah everything this guy just said is bullshit. Anyway, here’s what I’m going to do.”

I went back to Voyager for the time being. It’s similar to Sync that it should do the trick until LJ hopefully sees the bug and gets a fix out.

Issue is documented here. https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/539

I’m guessing this will become more of a problem once some of the big instances like lemmy.world upgrade to Lemmy 19.5.

There are videos of people reacting to hearing Megadeth’s Holy Wars… the Punishment Due for the first time. I enjoy the song, but I first heard it when I was probably like 10 and don’t really remember the first time. Would be fun to hear it with a fresh pair of ears.

That was a really fun book to listen to. He narrates the second one as well, but it didn’t capture lightning in a bottle the same way.
