In medical environments being aware of what you make contact with, aka, contact tracing, is absolutely about tracking what the hell you touched.

You leaned on that wall over there for 2.6 seconds after touching this thing contaminated with x, y, and z? Great, now we have to sanitize that, and everything that made contact with it.

Sit down.

We wanted to do it this year on our anniversary, which was about a month ago now, but there was too much going on financially that even throwing a modest party with the budget constraints was going to create problems. We both had job disruptions in the last months of 2024, and things have just been a bit to hard financially to really bother.

We're starting to save for next year already. Planning shall begin soon.

I love it. I think it would be pretty awesome to have a drink fountain for home.

Not sure I could get the wife approval on that....

My partner and I are similar to you. We couldn't care less. I proposed to her, she said yes, we're happy with the way things are, nothing needed to change.

However. Legally speaking, when you get married, you are considered as a single legal entity in many things including court/law enforcement/taxes.

A person cannot be compelled to bear witness to their partners actions in court, in the USA, that's the fifth amendment, in Canada, it's section 11(c) of the charter of rights and freedoms. The basic concept being that you have the right to remain silent (and not incriminate yourself).

While I don't plan on doing any crime or anything.... That's a nice perk.

Also, she hates doing her taxes, so when we're married, I can do taxes for both of us.

There's very few perks here and bluntly, it's not worth the cost...

We're going to elope and just throw a "reception" (party) afterwards.

Confirm this for me. It's not one hole per drink on the first, isn't it? It's two per, since one is for the creamy thick syrup, the other is for fizzy water.

That's why you basically end up with soda water if the syrup is out.

That's correct, no?

A big thing with COVID was contact tracing. As in, knowing who and what you made contact with that could have been contaminated with your sick.

Surfaces were nontrivial in that whole context.

If you didn't learn contact tracing during COVID, were you even in lockdown?

They won't call them Aryan, but it will be the same shit. They'll call it something like Christian babies or some nonsense; then use that as a smokescreen for their racism.

You mean, they're using irrelevant and unrelated content in the message for shock value?

Impossible.

I did my part. Now hopefully the rest of you all don't fuck it up.

I suppose it depends on where you live ......

Successful in mass media, sure.

I mean, the same can be said for "new" teams.

Though.... "Teams classic" was an electron app, and I'm not sure that's better.

Outlook "classic", as far as I'm concerned, is the last actual email client program that Microsoft will make. From here on out, it's all webapps.

Honestly, so much of their stuff runs in a web browser that you might as well just just google apps..... It also negates any requirement to run their bloated shitware OS.

Time will tell, if nothing else.

I think the tech has merit, but not nearly to the extent that companies are investing into it right now.

It's moving so fast that it's going to be hard to curb it when things start going wrong.

Here comes sky net? I guess?

I don't mind people using it for boiler plate stuff, and/or rough drafts to get a lot of the words typed out, so you can editorialize what's there.

When doing a lot of similar things, it can save a ton of time just having someone or something draw up a draft/starting point.

Any uses beyond this, are a non-starter for me when it comes to actual business use cases. The information that AI spits out in response to a query, is not, and should not be considered to be, complete in any way, shape, or form. It absolutely will need to be reviewed, edited, checked for accuracy and finalized by a human, before it is ready to be submitted for others to ingest. Zero AI content should be sent to anyone else until it has been reviewed and fully vetted by the person using AI to generate the content.

This has not been the goal to date. A lot of AI is trying to essentially eliminate entire segments of job markets, and bluntly, it's an insane mistake to think that, especially in its current form, that it could possibly do that, or even come close in any capacity.

It's at best a first-draft machine, but more likely it's a novelty that isn't worth the risk of using in production.

That's fair.

I apologize to the parrot community. Clearly parrots are better than what we currently call AI.

From the wording, it looks like they're just going to georestrict their content to places that are not Turkey.

Far from a problem, unless of course, your primary following is from Turkey; or that's where you live.

I don't blame bluesky here, they operate internationally, and they have to obey the laws of the locations they operate in. Personally I'm wondering what kind of Internet posts are restricted in Turkey? Who has laws to say you can, or cannot say things on the Internet? Besides... I guess, China, and obviously illegal things like CP....

Were they posting CP?

IDK, I've never used bluesky. I barely used xitter, back when it was relevant, if I were to use anything as a replacement it would be Mastodon.

Anyways.

It will eventually, when people realize it's just a giant and complex statistical response machine. It's really just giving you the words and/or set of pixels back that are the usual response to the words you provided. If there was no training data, there would be no AI.

It's like a parrot, but more complex and requires nuclear power plants to generate enough power to keep it going.

AI generated stuff is fine as long as it's not the same type of content I make.

A person who hasn't debugged any code thinks programmers are done for because of "AI".

Oh no. Anyways.
