With no safeguards the users won’t know it’s a trap until it’s sprung.

And one became the Death Star.

Without R2 ANH would have gone very differently.

There’s a cantankerous old git we drink with in my local and I have the PIN to his phone. Once I installed Grindr on it (didn’t create an account), so now all I have to do is let him “catch” me with his phone unlocked and he can spend days trying to figure out what I did, but as I did nothing he never finds it.

His wife and daughter annoy him as they live with him, and he gets irate at WhatsApp group chats that are too chatty. So I got his phone and created a WhatsApp group for his family, then posted “I love you” to it. He didn’t discover it until the next day and was fuming.

Lengthy discussion here.

Sometimes other bodily fluids.

American English Lesson: The word “shit”

It’s definitely an issue Rick ran into.

My understanding is that a civilisation capable of running a simulation like that would have access to enormous, possibly near-infinte amounts of power (like tapping black holes for energy).

I suspect that rather than being predators, it is the children themselves who do it.

How tech-literate are those toddlers?

Yes.

That was my thoughts - this is no way to teach them about dispute resolution. OP seems to be focusing in the wrong thing (as everyone deals with things different) and they need relationship counselling.

Perhaps they meant “brush against thighs”.

They are developing their own extremist-infused AI models, and are already experimenting with novel ways to leverage the technology, including producing blueprints for 3D weapons and recipes for making bombs.

Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.

So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯

How to work with someone that regularly arrives as the wrong answer?

Yes.

Good second half too:

That search/SEO is broken seems to be part of the game plan here.

It’s probably like Russia burning Moscow against Napoleon and a hell of a privilege Google enjoy with their monopoly.

I’ve seen people opt for chatGPT/AI precisely because it’s clean, simple and spam free, because it isn’t Google Search.

And as @caseynewton said … the web is now in managed decline.

For those of us who like it, it’s up to us to build what we need for ourselves. Big tech has moved on

That’s why we are all here.

It’s interesting to think that Big Tech might just move on from the Web, leaving it to us ordinary humans to go back to the way we were doing it in Web 1.0 just with fancier tools at our disposal. I quite like the idea.

Got pretty tired of playing furry porn community whackamole.

Coincidentally, the furry porn whack-off-a-mole community is not very popular.

I don’t block any but, as an Admin, I tend to check on all communities (theoretically) in case there’s shenanigans. As I am on a smaller instance Local is manageable and then I use Subscribed. All is too much of a firehose of content to use much. So I am more opt-in than opt-out.

My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

Glad you like it.

It depends on your definition but Visitor Q by Takashi Miike would probably offend most people. His other films can be rather out-there too.

Also the splatterpunk films of Yoshihiro Nishimura rank high. If you want a distilled taste, see “Z is for Zetsumetsu” in ABCs of Death. Otherwise, try Tokyo Gore Police.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man actually caused me to have palpitations, and it’s rare I have such a physical reaction to a film.

And that’s just Japan, you could always try something like Adam Chaplin.

However, they tend to be so over-the-top that they are entertaining. If you want to watch something that’s an ordeal to get through then you could start with the August Underground films. There are others in the same vein like Tumbling Doll of Flesh or Guinea Pig: Flowers of Flesh and Blood. You can then grub around looking for similar films as there’s always someone out there trying to be more appalling. However, it’s not really my cup of tea - the worst I’ve seen in the cinema is probably Necromantic last Valentine’s Day, which got quite a few walk-outs, although my main issue was it seemed far too loud.

I must admit, I laughed at the final scene - the whole film came off as trying too hard to be edgy and it tipped over into stupidity. Also the ending is very like that of

Which did it better.
