While I fully agree with the sentiment, I don’t know how you could actually implement it. How do you identify something as AI? I understand that many people “know it when they see it”, but how do you quantify and implement the rule so that it doesn’t just become another way to abuse posts.

Gift cards are for people who you are obligated to buy something for, but don’t really like enough to put in any effort. They are a way of telling people, “I like this company more than I like you. I could have just given you money, but I couldn’t be bothered to shop for you, but I really wanted to make sure that any money I had to spend on you went to this company.”
If you don’t believe me, why would they just give you a universal gift card? Did you know that they have been making them right here in the USA for a couple hundred years now? They even have decorative pictures of us presidents on them. And they are not just good in the US, you will find that they are taken most places on the planet.

What a horrible way to die… Having to listen to hour upon hour of “confessions” about lusting after couches, and excessively detailed descriptions of couches he had fucked… No doubt at some point the pope was begging to be raptured.

There are plenty of things that you deal with on a daily basis that are significantly more dangerous than asbestos. And if it had been treated like the hazardous material that it is as soon as we knew it was hazardous, then it would still be used just like all the other hazardous shit we deal with daily. However, as is the usual story, companies not only hid what they knew, but outright lied about its dangers. They called it a miracle material with no downsides. And it is amazingly good at what it does, so it was put in fucking everything, much like AI is today. And so people died for profit. A lot of people.

Lemmynsfw.com got put in my blocked instances list. I thought that I must have pocket blocked it, but this thread makes me wonder…

I admit at first we all felt like filthy communists, but the rush you get from the sound of the steel wheels sliding on steel rails followed by the sound of a train obliterating a Nissan at over 90 mph is god damn addictive. Occasionally, we’ll catch a lifted pickup that has stalled on the tracks (ironically it’s almost always a Dodge Ram) and man those dumbasses universally want to blame the train, so we all get to “Stand out ground” and riddle that truck with so many bullets that it doubles in weight. Hell, that’s how I met my bff Harlan. He was working off his community service time for his 3rd DUI right there next to the track picking up litter. Next thing you know him, me, and the train engineer are seeing who can spin the rear tire of some upside down Dodge the fastest. Harlan is a damn good shot, but since he was serving community time he wasn’t allowed to carry anything bigger than a 9mm, so he definitely lost that one.

Me and the wife like to drive down from Tallahassee real early so we can spend the entire day riding the Brightline. They got a special car for those of us that buy the all-day passes. Its like tailgating at the ball game, people bring their coolers and sometimes a small grill. We always have a couple spotters watching for cars on the track ahead of us. If the cars linger on the track too long then we all start the war chant. It started out as BL! BL! BL! SMASH!, but now it has kind of morphed into BALLER! BALLER! BALLER! SMASH!
It’s like driving in a demolition derby but at like 125 mph and you don’t have to spend any time or money getting a hoopty running.

Damnit! I missed it! It was right there and I didn’t even see it… That would have made it so much better.

Ya, your write. Eye dew that alot. Sorry.

When Russia invaded the Ukraine, and sanctions were initially placed against them and the internet to Russia was cut… Reddit was its old self for about 2 weeks. There were still some random nut bags wondering around saying crazy and hateful shit, but the level of misinformation and everything else dropped by at least 90%. It was pretty eye-opening.

If it’s a Tesla truck, I guess I could splash it with half a Dixie cup full of water…

That’s how websites use them to determine if you are a bot or not.

However, the companies that ever so nicely provide the captcha technology, and never ending supply of unique pictures… They don’t do that just because they love paying for the bandwidth and hosting all of this stuff for free. They use your clicks to train their AIs in image identification.

I think the saying is “9 out of 10 people that have ever been involved in a gang rape approve of gang rapes.”. Because the way you said it is, well, a much rougher neighborhood.

Every M-F I get up and join the morning convoy on my way to work, and then in the evening I convoy home. It’s not a flashy convoy but we line those vehicles up, three lanes wide and miles long.
