a) Don’t sell yourself short bro, many of the best people are weirdos
b) You are going to feel SO stupid if you meet a horny coin fanatic tomorrow and have to turn them down


My dad had some old games for his Amstrad computer that needed a Lenslok, to decode the characters displayed on the screen.
IIRC it didn’t work very well at all.

What a fucking world we live in
I think part of the reason it sounds muddled is because they’re trying to keep the anti-AI crowd on board as well.
Can you imagine Apple launching a big new feature and being like, “It’s going to be amazing! But don’t worry, there’ll be a big button so you can completely disable it!”


Hope his ghoulish family shoves him under a golf course and forgets about him, like he did with Ivana.


What were those things we had before AI? “Co-puters” or something? I don’t remember.
Anyway, glad they’re gone. It’d be annoying if we still needed chips and RAM for stuff other than AI.


Wasn’t that kinda what LEGO Worlds was meant to be?


I really wanted to like it, but it’s already a right-wing cesspit. 🤷♂️ Maaaaaybe it’ll improve, now that it’s public, but I don’t have high hopes.
I know this place is just the opposite kind of echo chamber, but when the other option is being beaten over the head with transphobia and Maga shit, ehh, I’ll take it.


I think you should rename a gulf after you as well. That way the tech bros will take you more seriously


It’s not faaaaiiiirrrrrrrr [pouts and stamps feet]
Oh yessssss


This made me remember that “trumping”/“trump” were already synonyms for “farting”/“fart” when I was a little kid in the UK. Yet another thing the orange horror has ruined smh


When I owned one years ago, I legit had no idea for the first few months.
The first time I clicked it with the power off I panicked and assumed I’d somehow jammed it or something. 😄


There’s the slow-and-not-very-capable link preview thing… and I could’ve sworn the “what’s new” page the other day said they were adding an on-device model to improve search results or something, but I can’t find the reference to it now.
Maybe they removed it after all the AI backlash. 😬


Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.
Come on, this isn’t Reddit, at least skim the article before you start with the performative outrage.


That’s a relief, because everything is computer now


All I knew about him before this is that he’s young and tall


Aw, hey, the imaginary dolls are back! I missed them!
