  • I remember people used to say £50 notes were easier to forge compared to the others. Not sure if that was because of something about the note itself or because people saw them less and weren't as used to them. Either way people became wary of accepting them. Plus it can be a pain to make change, especially when a lot of people pay with card now.

  • I'd really appreciate it if you could provide as much info as you can about how you're accessing Lemmy.

    Is it through a device you're allowed to use or one you're using illegally?

    Is it a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet?

    What operating system does it use? Windows, Linux, Android, iOS?

    What method does it connect to the internet through? Dial up, wired broadband, wifi or through a mobile network?

  • AI isn't ready to replace programmers, engineers or IT admins yet. But let's be honest if some project manager or CTO somewhere hasn't already done it they're at least planning it.

    Then eventually to save themselves or out of sheer ignorance they'll blame the chaos that results on the few remaining people who know what they're doing because they won't be able to admit or understand the fact that the bold decision they took to "embrace" AI and increase the company's bottom line which everyone else in their management bubble believes in has completely mangled whatever system their company builds or uses. More useful people will get fired and more actual work will get shifted to AI. But because that'll still make the number go up the management types will look even better and the spread of AI will carry on. Eventually all systems will become an unwieldy mess nobody can even hope to repair.

    This is just IT, I'm pretty sure most other industries will eventually suffer the same fate. Global supply chains will collapse and we'll all get sent back to the dark ages.

    TL,DR: The real problem with AI isn't that it'll become too powerful and choose to kill us, but that corporate morons will overestimate how powerful it already is and that will cause our eventual downfall.

  • Sorry to hear that. I also lost a friend to addiction who's experiences with older men in her formative years were unfortunately quite negative, which sent her down the addiction spiral and made her seek out more experiences with older men. Those experiences and the addiction both, I believe, ultimately stemmed from her father's actions. His own addiction and abusive, neglectful behaviour being a result of trauma in his early life. I can't speak to your friend's past of course but I imagine men and substances filled a hole in her own life likely left by a similar generational trauma and abuse cycle.
