@zackwhittaker@mastodon.social so does this mean that everyone that works for a shitty company that requires them to use AI is now also going to have to give a third party private information or lose their job?
Hooray for the surveillance state!

@h2onolan@infosec.exchange I swear, you fall asleep in a McDonald's playing Mario Kart DS on their free Wi-Fi *ONE TIME* in 2006 and they start putting signs up...
Went to the park today. It was nice.

@dallo@pouet.chapril.org didn't these guys get busted on price fixing just a few years ago?
I don't know... A 66 year old making a movie that's marketing itself as "kids why you no sex?" feels a little creepy.
Maybe kids these days are turned off by sex because they associate it with selling beer more than fulfilling personal relationships? Maybe using sex to sell everything has reduced them to seeing it as just another cynical transaction.
Look at services like OnlyFans. Sex and relationships are just more content to be sold. Providers and consumers. This is love under capitalism.

@veronica@explains.social you know, you present a very convincing case. It's strange that they're so closely associated with Disco when they really don't sound much like disco at all? A lot of guitar and piano driven stuff, not as much focus on the rhythm section.
I never really noticed it before. I always just accepted them as presented by the zeitgeist.

@mahryekuh@hachyderm.io @remixtures@tldr.nettime.org I can't help but also be reminded of their "free" 411 phone number lookup service they offered like 20 years ago. But at least back then they were pretty transparent that they were only offering the service so they could get data to train their voice recognition.
It's just impossible for me to not jump to the most cynical outcome these days. It's exhausting 😮💨

@remixtures@tldr.nettime.org the stupid internet rotted part of my brain instantly thinks "are they doing this so they can get a data set to help their genAI get better at rendering hands?" 😅
I will never shit on someone rolling two handing at the bowling alley... but... I don't think that shit will ever stop looking silly to me.
Even watching pros just bowl dominating games, it still looks too much like rolling it from between the legs Granny style to me 😂
That all said, I can guarantee that anyone that took the time to do it properly will most like wash me head to head. So the moral here is don't worry about impressing me. I don't know dick 🤷♀️
All the lamps in my room are operated by IR remote which is super awesome and handy... until I misplaced the remote. 😑
