Buying a feature that already built in your car is crazy

I was carefully cleaning it by hand immediately after every use to keep it as dry and clean as possible and now this 🙃

I guess I'll need a sharpening stone or something.

Saint Carlo Acutis was an Italian teenager that died of leukemia in 2006. He was canonized last year and is often referred to as "The Patron Saint of the Internet" or "God's influencer" because he was known for using computers. So who knows, maybe this will be right up his alley

Most kiddos like Roblox, and nephew is no exception. So when he came to me and asked me to help him set up an account, I decided to let him(and play under my supervision since I also happen to have an account). When we reached the face recognition section, it absolutely SUCKED ASS CUS WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BOY WHO IS AT HIS TENDER AGE OF GOD DAMN SIX IS SEVENTEEN. AND THE WORST PART IS I CAN’T REVERT IT TO HIS ACTUAL AGE FOR SOME REASON.

Edit: We decided not to play Roblox again after this shenanigan(which I should have done from the start)

Everyone in my family knows how I feel about AI, so this kind of pissed me off. I know he finds it funny, but I don’t like being used as a reason to use ChatGPT. I’ve explained many times why I don’t like AI, and that includes all (edit: Generative) AI not just ChatGPT. I have many reasons why I dislike AI so much, but the concern for our environment is a major one.

Edit: I just wanted to clarify a bit. Number 1, I don’t think using “pissed off” was the right descriptor for how I felt, more so I was just irked by it.

Number 2, I love my BIL even if he can be frustrating sometimes, he has always treated my sister right and I don’t think I could imagine a better guy for her. He’s genuinely a very sweet guy who does things that sometimes are dumb or annoying, just like everyone else.

Number 3, like I said I have MANY problems with AI, the environment being a big one, but there are a lot more such as using AI in any form of art such as movies, shows, books, video games, etc. I don’t think AI can replace real human emotion or experiences that creating such things require. Another is the way ChatGPT specifically in my opinion is being used by people as therapists/friends, it just says what the user wants to hear not what they need to hear and I think that is harming lot of people.

Number 4, I’m not perfect. Of course I have a carbon footprint and have also done my fair share of harm to the environment. It’s impossible not to. I’m not going to act like some holier than thou person because I don’t use AI (if I can help it), but I try my hardest to be environmentally conscious. At the end of the day that’s really all we can do.

So, that’s it. Hope everyone has a good day! Bye! 👋🏼

I’m shopping for a new suit, and although SuitSupply is a little below the price range I’m considering, I figured I’d pop into their store at Brickell City Centre in Miami to get a sense of the quality.
As soon as I walked in, a woman greeted me and asked how she could help. I started describing the style of suit I was looking for, but she cut me off, turned over a phone, and presented me with a QR code stuck to the back.
I scanned it, but cell service in the store was terrible and the page wouldn’t load.
After standing there for about 30 seconds staring at a blank browser, I asked if I could just speak with a salesperson and look at some suits.
She told me they needed my email address or phone number to pull up my customer profile.
I’d never shopped at SuitSupply before, so obviously I didn’t have a profile. Presumably they wanted to create one.
I asked her directly whether providing this information was actually a requirement to receive help in the store. She said yes.
At this point, getting increasingly irritated, I told her that since the page wasn’t loading, and I wasn’t particularly interested in providing my information anyway, I wasn’t going to do that.
She curtly replied, “Have a beautiful day,” and gestured toward the entrance.
So I left.
Am I crazy for thinking it’s ridiculous that I can’t walk into a clothing store and speak to a salesperson without first handing over my contact information?
I realize I’m probably being a little petty, but this experience has pretty much guaranteed I won’t be shopping at SuitSupply anytime soon.

This was made entirely by AI.

I've watched it several times and I have to be honest: I could see nothing about it that told me that it was AI. If you just came across this clip in the wild (and didn't know that it was posted by someone named KeshiAIArt) would you be able to tell that it was AI?

I hate this direction we're heading in.

A molded phone with smiley face and arrow pointing into the “V” shaped compartment. Some screen time is just what they need now that you’re outside to play.

Edit: If used for video of kid swinging: great.
If used for screen time by a lazy parent/guardian: infuriating.

Scanning four fingers on your right hand is now part of the EU's digital Entry/Exit System required for non-EU citizens (British passport holders).

I'm missing a finger on my right hand and therefore can't use the system, and have to be manually processed by border security each time 🫠.

I received over 70 notifications from LoJack telling me that I was speeding. Uhhhh… a stretch of Interstate Highway 10 from Katy to San Antonio Texas has speed limit of 75mph. I’ll be ran over if I drove any slower. So annoying.

Went through Apps & features today and found Disney Magic Kingdoms (2.43 GB), installed on 10/8. I never downloaded or approved it. Turns out Windows has a "suggested apps" feature that silently installs sponsored apps from the Microsoft Store.

For $1.8 million they could have at least tried harder to make the exterior look presentable. I didn’t even enter because it looked terrible.

in class i doodle alot because our lecturers tend to repeat themselves four hundred and ninety seven times and its a waste of my time. one of my classmates who is a genuinely sweet woman made a compliment about my doodles and for the last two shes ended up saying "wow youre so gifted, this looks almost as good as AI." shes an amazing person and i enjoy studying with her but it was hard not to recoil from that comment. and no this isnt me making it up. this very much happened.

And the picture on the menu is AI slop. 30 CHF are 37.23 USD as of today.

We counted 4 separate words censored.

Edit: P****** S*** W**** B****

I went to charge it all last night and when I woke up to use them, the right one didn’t have any charge. This happens semi regularly, but just rarely enough that I forget about checking to make sure they are both getting charge.

Made a note of Christmas gifts I was planning out for my girlfriend and locked it so she wouldn’t see. Now both of us are locked out and my own hint is taunting me.

Sliding the comment card left and right both shows AI crap instead of just the comments. Just give me human interactions ffs.
