Not a straightjacket. More like a shitty shirt made from fabric you can’t tear to strangle yourself with. The real problem could be the conditions of suicide watch. Those can be torture and drive you insane, depending on the place.

Wrong link? Didn’t see any Star Trek there.

Steamed hams, when the roast burned

Looks like the old guard is losing. Not exactly a win for humanity in my book.

Well, inside that text generator lies useful information, as well as misinformation of course, because it has been trained on exactly that. Does it make shit up? Absolutely. But so do and did a lot of google or bing search results, even prior to the AI-slop-content farm era.

And besides that, it is a fancy text generator that can use tools, such as searching bing (in case of ChatGPT) and summarizing search results. While not 100% accurate the summaries are usually fairly good.

In my experience the combination of information in the LLM, web search and asking follow up questions and looking at the sources gives better and much faster results than sifting though search results manually.

As long as you don’t take the first reply as gospel truth (as you should not do with the first google or bing result either) and you apply the appropriate amount of scrutiny based on the importance of your questions (as you should always do), ChatGPT is far superior to a classic web search. Which is, of course, where media literacy matters.

No. Learn to become media literate. Just like looking at the preview of the first google result is not enough blindly trusting LLMs is a bad idea. And given how shitty google has become lately ChatGPT might be the lesser of two evils.

Not very much with my slow connection.

Journey. You can get it on PlayStation, iOS, steam (on sale for $5 atm) and epic. It is 2-3 hours short and not very challenging, but it does look absolutely stunning and has a very beautiful gameplay mechanic that you better find out for yourself. IMO it is one of the best games of all time and one that really demonstrates what the medium is capable of.

If you want to snoop you don’t cut the cable so people come to repair it where you installed your snoopy device. Also, if there is no data on the cable because it has been cut there is no data to snoop.

Raw milk or pasteurized? The latter is most likely ok.

A bit of roundup and horse paste, the MAGA cure-all.

Ah yes, vitamins, the secret cure-all that has been kept from us all those years without brainworms at the helm.

exploiting systems used for lawful wiretaps

I’m not the kind of person to say atoadaso, but you know what? Atoadaso! I fucking atoadaso!

Its 100€ if you can not prove that any harm was done. It could be more with proof (ie spam call logs etc)

You are right, but why rely on a single method of protection? Vaccinations are good, but not perfect.

Think of it as using a condom despite being on birth control pills: you are not just unlikely, but really really unlikely to get pregnant and it also protects from stds.

Your honor, it’s not a lottery, it’s just a scam.

What a dipshit.

Sometimes it’s easier to check ChatGPT’s answers, ask follow up questions, look at the sources it provides and live with the occasional hallucinations than to sift through the garbage pile that google search has become.

New shoe smell masks the foot smell

So THAT is why some of the McDonald’s bathrooms are so disgusting.
