The Frog

@michelestrider@mastodon.social The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

@jbjrkng@hachyderm.io "Some social media are dangerous and harmful for children, have really dodgy practices, cannot be trusted not to track them and are truly horrible. So we FORCE them to scan your IDs and keep hold of it"

@Remittancegirl@mstdn.social @stevendrowe@mstdn.social Indeed. The widely reported "fraud" by a Conservative funded organisation was about "family voting". That's complete bollocks. So families can't just talk about who they'll vote on the way to the voting booth? Does it means each time two married people ask each other "who you gonna vote for this year?" they're committing fraud? Ridiculous. Fuck that.

@maxleibman@beige.party Depends how much I want to read it and whether reading it would enrich my existence...

@AndrewRadev Students A: I'm going to university to develop a high level of expertise because I LOVE this subject. Student B: I don't necessarily love this subject, but the expertise is invaluable in a competitive job market. Professor: Welcome to University, the place where you develop your thinking skills. AI peddlers: Hey, we got this tool that can do your assignments for you, much better than you in fact. And will also take your job after, so you'll be unemployed when you graduate anyway.

@londondreamtime@mastodonapp.uk#SilentSunday There's another one just for you, taken a few minutes before the bird.

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com Not often I see myself as on the side of lamborghini owner.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social From the outside, it's more like "this is Murica, it can ONLY happen there"

@torgo Tells us much about those who think AI is great.

@FoxesInLove@social.neonpaws.digital Equity vs equality in a nutshell.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Holy heck, you can even buy a jumper with it on, on Etsy!!! Lol

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social What the heck am I looking at!?!? Edit: thanks for the alt text! Sort of glad it's not AI. It would not be out of place in the Museum of Bad Art...

@bazkie@beige.party @nixCraft@mastodon.social I personally blame operating systems hiding file extensions sometimes and keeping it visible other times.

@bjn@mstdn.social @tokensane@mastodon.me.uk @Remittancegirl@mstdn.social @stevendrowe@mstdn.social Ah, dog whistle. White person helping a family member struggling to read: fine. Brown person helping a family member struggling to read: fraud.

@eclectech@things.uk I suppose it a matter of class and how many second homes you have.

@mhoye As a teacher, I would have laughed my head off!

@michi@wetdry.world Like a couple of 20 something with big egos having funding for their startups refused half way into their pitch because the product is shit and there's no way in hell it will ever make a profit.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social At this point, thinking it was staged becomes rational.

@ShiitakeToast@beige.party @jalefkowit@vmst.io I laughed so hard *because* of the music!!! It does not match at all what's going on!

@superflippy I, personally, LOVE the phantom menace. But then, I'm not a Star Wars fan...

@raymaccarthy @joostvb @medieval_illuminations Idiot, i don't know. Cruel beyond measure, definitely. His treatment of the natives landed him in a Spanish jail and his name was removed from history until restored centuries later. And that's why the continent is called "America" and not "Columbia".

@carnage4life We thought AI would kill us all: Turned out AI hallucinates you are dead if you ask about yourself. We thought AI would be better at our job and replace us: Turned out AI is worse at your job but your boss didn't realise, tried to replace you then desperately tries to hire you back. We thought AI job apocalypse in tech would come because it's good at coding: Turned out the job apocalypse is there, but because AI is so expensive for zero return, banks are stopping lending.

@qurlyjoe @humanhorseshoes I learnt it, forgot about it and then remembered it when reading the post above. He also had very misogynistic views (even bad for the standards of the time). And the whole cat thing was a very sarcastic comment meant to show the concept of superposition was ridiculous (he was wrong).

@qurlyjoe @humanhorseshoes Schrodinger was a pedo.

@_L1vY_@mstdn.social @parkermolloy@masto.ai Oh. What's the last one about? Edit: just looked at the thread, no need to reply.

@khobochka@mastodon.social That's fucking insane!

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net Plus, having good ideas is the easy part compared to realising them. Your suggestion has the added bonus of bringing people to collaborate, making the realisation stage much easier.

@osma@mas.to @rpsu@mas.to @kims@mas.to In 20 years... Child: can I have some milk please? Parent: What do you think I am? A fucking robot? Now, fucking speak properly with good fucking manners. Child: [sigh] Can I have some fucking milk please?

@RickiTarr At least doing weird search queries is way less awkward than humming three seconds of a song your heard on the radio to the guy at the record shop...

@tuomas_h@mastodon.social That's because the lead designer is getting older and hasn't accepted yet they needed glasses.

@dgar@aus.social So quantum computing has been around for longer than we imagined!

@kims@mas.to Does he even believe what he's saying? I think he does. That's unhinged even by his standards. I seriously think that he's not capable of seeing the link between him imposing tarriffs on the EU and Canada and the EU and Canada wanting to build trade relations with each others.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social "Stumbled across Saturn and some moon on her way". I feel you! It always happen to me all the time. Looked for my keys the other and fecking Jupiter was in the way again. Seriously though, really cool!

@clemens ALLELUIA!

@kims@mas.to Wow. Im speechless.

@larsmb@mastodon.online We feared gen AI would take jobs away from workers. It won't happen. But this example shows it is perfectly ready to take over middle management jobs. I'm sure I had a similar conversation with my previous line manager.

@HamonWry Facts are expensive. Opinion is cheap. One can spun an opinion piece from reading a few articles within half a day. Uncovering the facts means interviewing experts and witnesses, reading in-depth reports and curating contact lists. It takes time.

@cmconseils@mastodon.social Aaaaaaaaaah!

@devopscats@toot.cat So, does it mean the entire French government and every French business using Microsoft products can have their data accessed? It's more than privacy, it becomes national, and personal, security.

@theplaguedoc@glitterkitten.co.uk Because, oh boy, what happened there the day before...

@Eemon@social.linux.pizza They look a bit skinny and scared. I can't wait for the "after" photo where their fur is all fluffy and they look happy!

@humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world The French love our accent! On the other hand, we, Quebecois, would be pissed off if Canadian French was classed as a different language...

@carnage4life@mas.to Are we at the point we need a big fucking dragon to eat those cunts and fly away?

@_L1vY_@mstdn.social @nikkimcr@mas.to Well, on many things there, he's not wrong. Which is rather rare in his case.

@wheresalice@woof.tech @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk The staff at the met office, of all places, are very well placed to understand the effects of global warming. I personally think, with this contest, they know exactly what they're doing. Go and fill this form guilt free!

@ZachWeinersmith@mastodon.social I love that!
