Well, I’ll be damned

She did what? I mean, the sex I can understand; it’s all part of the job if you’re in the spy business. But complimenting that jacket is… just too degrading.

Other than that, I know losing your job in this economy is tough, but I don’t think Huang is going to have too much trouble paying his mortgage for a few lifetimes. I am so sorry for his family, though.

Huang’s wang burst the AI bubble

I can’s see the appeal for me but I think I can understand where Apple is coming from, at least in theory. More AI in phones means an excuse to sell you more powerful phones.

Unless you are very into having the latest piece of tech or your old phone dies, I haven’t seen much that a new phone can do and my 4 years old one can’t, so many people (including me) are sticking with their old phones for longer. AI seems like it has the potential to put something new on those marketing assets. Granted, it worked like shit with AI laptops/Copilot PCs but Apple has a knack for turning others’ failures into long lines of people fighting to give them their money so we’ll see…

The Cheesecake Factory is a restaurant chain. Its decor is intentionally over-the-top.

Saddam Hussein lived a very extravagant lifestyle, even by dictators’ standards, and famously built himself palaces so overfilled with gold and precious things that instead of looking luxurious they looked tacky and in horrible taste.

Obama joked that Trump’s White House looks like if Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory (Trump and MAGA took it about as well as you can imagine).

The brilliance of the joke is that, while being on the surface about interior design, Obama called Trump a narcissistic dictator getting rich by stealing from his own people. And clearly MAGAs choose to focus their response only on the Cheesecake part of the joke.

No, but I bet we could be charged for treason for speaking against Cheesecake Saddam

I was not disagreeing with you, I was just trying to be funny and summarize “ok”

k…

I think it might be true. Not in the sense that agents are so clever that they are hacking into online banking websites but in the sense that some people are so dumb they:

1. willingly give agents credentials to access their bank accounts (“it’s going to help me budget/figure out if I’m being overcharged by Netflix” or whatever else the AI-hype convinced them it’s a good idea to let an agent do for you)
2. or let agents run with full access to everything on their machines, including their “my_banking_codes.txt” file with their unencrypted passwords and the email/messaging apps where they receive the 2FA message to confirm their access

He said “for young kids”, never said they were his.

He has a legion of kids with several different women and does not live with them. He’s more likely to buy legos for his friend at the Epstein club than to do anything nice for his kids anyway.

“Geez, chill out, guys! I was just gossiping with the smart TV and the doorbell about Cindy flaunting her new, expensive RAM everywhere

Same! I got to the third paragraph of the article before understanding they were not planning to harass their customers (or at least not in new ways…)

except that those links are increasingly pointing to slop content anyway. Even scientific papers.

Firet sentence in the article

Social network MySpace is reportedly planning to make a comeback

No. Planning to make a comeback is not the same as making a comeback. You are making a comeback when lots of people are actually using your site.

Fun read! I think a closed fist with seven fingers would have been a better illustration tough…

if you’re far enough to the right apparently everyone looks like a Marxist. Even Hitler was a National Socialist (Socialist!)

I think that’s so type inference can work by just omitting the type, instead of having to use “var” or “auto” in front of the variable name

I think the EU are just trying to get some of the money quickly before Google spends all of it on AI

Not to be anti-AI, but… AI coding stats from a AI coding company are as trustworthy as studies from Marlboro on the health effects of smoking or from Volkswagen on car emissions.
