Hang on, so I need to upload government ID and/or a selfie in order to access “adult material” in order to protect kids but Meta trying to bait men with pictures of girls under the age of consent is perfectly fine? What the fuck is happening?

Shocked that they haven’t already had ads.

Has anyone used a smart fridge? I’m struggling to think of what features I’d actually end up using.

A future is coming where it can just be your job to let an LLM observe your life 24/7… And that might be the only job available.

Getting paid to play games, jack off, and shitpost but at what cost…

As in it’s slightly but not perceptively warmer or more like “oh god, we’re all going to die”?

With it being Japan, I’m more surprised that it wasn’t a fax machine.

Speaking as a reddit mod for a massive subreddit, it honestly hasn’t been a useful tool at all. It’s only really useful for identifying users who engage with problematic subs but there are old tools which can do that without using AI.
