I need to get an actual hair dryer, this is ridiculous.

That’s how supply chains traditionally have been done. Supermarkets for example have hyper-optimised ‘just in time’ systems where they order stock based on projected demand and it’s all done with stats and probability, has been for decades. Very much the hard math type stuff that AI sucks at. I don’t know for sure but I can’t imagine Starbucks doing it much differently. They have the resources and economies of scale to make it work. From a capitalist perspective there’s no reason to change it, except that some CxO decided to go all in on AI in an attempt to juice the stock price.

Wow that AI does not know what a drone looks like.

I agree that they look brown at the start of the video, but later on they seem pretty clearly blue to me. So it’s either a trick of the light (however that happens in a studio setting?), or somebody noticed and fixed it at some point. Somebody better at video please feel free to correct me.

Yeah that neck is another thing that screams AI to me. You can see the tendons below and above the line move at the same time while being totally disconnected. The guy is also pretty much dead still while talking, most people move their head at least a little.

Dude forgot who he was talking about mid sentence.

Definitely something hinky going on here, but my money is on poorly-masked AI deepfake. Harward is a real guy with internet presence, image search him and compare. There’s something about the movement, and especially the mouth that’s just a little uncanny. Teeth don’t seem right to me.

Aside from the absolute inhumanity, this also functionally publically outs anyone who uses them.

I swear he thinks twitter is this magical reality altering machine where anything he posts just becomes true.

Why does Trump look like he’s levitating.

Yeah it’s shit but sidenote: I fucking hate it when scrolling a page does things other than actually fucking scroll. Take your text highlight bullshit and fuck all the way off. Make me stop to read at your pace I will launch you into the fucking sun.

I think I used to use this to play the original Unreal deathmatch.

That was fast.

LMAO so it fucks out literally the second the warranty is up and you can’t service it in the field because the manufacturer will brick it if you even touch it with a non-approved wrench.

They didn’t ban VPN usage, as the image seems to imply. They did something even stupider.

Utah’s new amendments to Section 14 of SB 73 do not ban VPNs outright, nor do they target users. Instead, they target the websites users visit while using a VPN.

A new amendment took effect on May 6, imposing penalties on websites found to provide access to users who are geo-spoofing.

Unless they expect sites to just block every known VPN exit point, this is utterly unenforceable and a complete waste of time.

Been using it for ages, actually got a pixel 8 specifically for it. It’s almost indistinguishable from stock android if you use the gplay sandbox feature. The only thing you’ll have trouble with is some banking or government apps, but you can always just use the website and carry a card.

I’m working on this theory that there’s a certain level of literacy that some people reach, where they can read and nominally understand a text, but not apply any critical thinking at all. And they’re terrified of reading anything from a non-approved source because they feel like it’ll reprogram their brain. Yes, I’ve read masses, elites and rebels, and I agree, for the most part. But it feels like in at least some cases this goes way beyond just “going along with it” and not wanting your worldview challenged. Like that post about people not liking books written in first person because “I wouldn’t do that”; it just goes straight in, zero filter. On some level they’re aware of this, but somehow can’t concieve of reading a thing and -not- believing it. Entertaining an idea without subscribing to it. So they just reject it outright. And to be clear I don’t blame them, I blame whatever passes for an education system.

You’re right, but I think I’d rather hang out with a non-vegan commie, than a non-commie vegan. I’m vegan myself but I find too many of them are insufferable libs who took to veganism as a shortcut to moral superiority.

There’s a blender fork called Blender for Artists that tweaks a lot of the GUI to make it more suited for, well, artists. Never used it but it might be worth looking at.
