That sounds like you can be replaced with a LLM. Let’s do that and save the company millions of dollars a year while us Plebeians got on with doing the real work and making money.

Glorified Lorem Ipsum.

90% of non-functional code, maybe.

He probably is but Plastic Surgery Technology can only do so much.

She is as morally corrupt as her father was.

FYI. “The World Is Not Enough”’s character Elliot Carver was allegedly based on Robert Maxwell.

Probably an overdose of Botulinum Toxin.

“Sock” or “sofa”?

Most likely way to go;

• FSB Defenestration
• FSB cyanide injection, Bohdan Stashynsky-style
• Assassination by foreign power
• Assassination by domestic freedom-fighter
• Assassination by debtor
• Natural causes from dementia.

These are all very good questions, which will all need to be answered eventually, and need to be considered at the platforms move forward.

A lot of these problems could be solved if Governments and business entities started running their own Mastodon servers, and other platforms (as appropriate).

Unfortunately government and businesses are increasingly outsourcing their IT infrastructure to commercial cloud services, rather than keeping them in-house.

ActivityPub is a major threat to the commercial social networks.

These laws are purely a way to regulate communication, but they are effectively a way to prevent new social networks from becoming established.

This is why the really big social networks are welcoming them with open arms. Even the criminal social networks are secretly pleased with them.

Laws only affect people too poor to manipulate them and too honest to disobey them.

There is a huge difference in the hardware and the software used for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for different vehicles.

For example. Mercedes-Benz S-Classes Driver Fatigue Monitoring had been detecting the eyeline and posture of drivers, for 10 years before other manufacturers started using timer-based Driver Fatigue Systems.

The Optical object recognition systems in the ADAS of most Volume brands is barely functional at best, while the single-RADAR object recognition of the ADAS in luxury brands is adequate to reduce collisions.

Even the multi-RADAR systems of premium Luxury vehicles should only be considered “Driver Assistance” .

It is the moral imperative of all humanity to sabotage every self-driving vehicle test in whichever way possible.

So what you are saying that Forbes information should be treated with all the credibility of an LLM output?

That could be argued that they therefore can’t be held liable when they spew utter garbage.

The AlGoRyThMs are what is inducing the social damage.

Even games of chance (like Poker Machines and) would be less destructive if they were fairer and less engaging.

There will be a big curtaining of Apple, Microsoft, Google and Adobe if Facebook, TikTok and Twitter (and YouTube) have their algorithmic feeds outlawed.

It would probably cause the AI bubble to burst too so our OSs, Applications and Search Engines (and Government) would become usable again.

Meanwhile in BeOS and Haiku; isComputerOn() isComputerOnFire() isComputerCursed()

Just between you, me and the entire Fediverse, I put the sarcasm tags on just in case I offended anyone.

We need better public transport so that those people who are not confident drivers, or are not competent drivers, or are downright incompetent drivers don’t have to drive.

Less roads, less vehicles on the roads mean that those people who do enjoy driving for the sake of driving can still drive, but they are sharing the road with like-minded people. This is my selfish view with altruistic results.

Keep your classic cars roadworthy and registered.

Legislative changes and requirements for useless and dangerous Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are making it more difficult to keep older cars on the road.

This is compounded by Manufacturers and legislative bodies forcing driver assistance systems on everyone.

<sarcasm> Back when I was a lad, I could drive my manual-transmission vehicle while reading a paper street directory, texting on one phone, talking on another and eating a cheeseburger., Kids nowadays don’t know how to drive.</sarcasm>

Me too, and Copilot is disabled on my work computer (and then magically reenabling itself)

Please tell me how to disable Data Detectors on MacOS, sometimes a number is just a numerical string and is not a Phone number; actually it it quite unusual for it to ever be a phone number. Even if it is a phone number, I would love to be able to just copy and paste it without it trying to connect to my phone and prank call some poor sucker.
