Minus the "sex" part of "sex work under capitalism"

Fable apologized, disabled the feature, and removed other AI tools.

Critics argue the response was insufficient, highlighting broader issues of bias in generative AI and the need for better safeguards.

What? I doubt these "critics" exist beyond this article having to have an open-ended closer.

Is this really seen as a bad thing? Is bourbon street really supposed to capitulate to terror and install ultra-securtity defenses like they expect a high-speed attack every year? How many years has it been since the last similar attack? Is the secret that it never happened before and probably won't again?

This always made me wonder. Why don't we hear more about these psychoactive substances in modern day drugs. I know the nightshade family is usually poisonous as well as psychoactive but surely people have experimented with extracting/filtering these plants to get the desired effect like we extract cocaine from coca leaves or opium from poppies.

What about if the mushy banana is rotting? How bad does it have to rot to start to do something to your asshole?

Fortunately/unfortunately Lemmy isn't big enough to move the needle on any of these conservative's radars. Until it proves that it can influence a significant fraction of their demographic they don't care.

Think tanks be like: if we motivate people by rewarding them with food and sleep they become extremely productive (work 20 hours a day)

It's a white pride flag

We have an FDA with less and less power and a culture of ruthless capitalism that thinks the baseline set by the government is still too high and needs to spend all effort cutting as many corners as possible to make the largest profit.

Shocking, a site full of diy programmers and hackers are trying to hack the system. Maybe even just for fun.

MacOS owns the rich space*

And a lot of rich people are art dilletants or are able to afford putting their children through expensive art programs with no need to have it pay off. And of course they all buy the "top of the line" (which of course is obviously the most expensive right?) brands.

Don't get me wrong, Apple plays into it so the cycle is recursive.

I heard a cool theory that said basically: we're pretty well into our techno sci-fi future that we promised in scifi media and stuff. But what we didn't expect is that the techno future reuses the same architecture and building stuff from the 1970s, the only discernable difference is that there's a screen in every room and tech in everything and the real future is in that virtual world inside those that's completely invisible to someone from the 1970s

It doesn't have to be unidentified by the makers. You just need to not be able to identify it.

They can work and be unidentified. There's no contradictions.

SCP energy

Physics is basically "some guy way cooler and way nerdier than you 100 years ago did some experiments observing this law, and because of that we can use really hard math to predict the whole universe."

This post is making fun of people who think they're fixing their life by having "epiphanies" after taking magic mushrooms multiple times a week and then not doing anything about those epiphanies when they're sober.

Source: I used to do that

41 tb?? What are you doing? Recording a lossless video of a 24/7 live stream?

To be fair, I'm not defending having to beg your boss for time off.

In our world we have a simple choice: work for whoever will hire you, or starve and die on the streets. Barring random and uncontrollable acts of charity or the extremely fortunate situation in which you work for yourself.

Now we could go back and forth on where on the spectrum of "you would be working all day miserably farming if it weren't for your job" and "you should feel blessed to die of black lung in the coal mines cause at least you got to work" we both lie. But, in a society where the majority of work involves "work or die", our promises to our bosses are very short periods of indentured servitude in a very hyperbolic sense.

Sure, you can quit at any time only to find another job or be taken to jail (we could go into the criminalization of homelessness), but for most people, you're working for life.

So to say that the government (or employment contract) mandating that you're owed days of vacation is an expression of freedom is a far cry from my definition of freedom and to me seems only to entrench our status quo by throwing breadcrumbs to us to stop us from getting too agitated.

I was certainly being glib and hyperbolic tho

To be fair, having the government mandate how much time you get off for working 40 hours a week is kind of just codifying the indentured servitude you're under.
