I searched for a car air filter the other day. I bought a car air filter the other day. I am still receiving ads for car air filters today.

Shit’s dumb as hell.

Amazon’s primary revenue driver is selling the top spots in their search results. So it’s no surprise that when you search for something, you almost never see what you’re looking for. They have literally created a system that intentionally shows you what you’re NOT looking for in order for them to make a profit.

Unfortunately that reality is going to quickly turn to “we have to cut staff and freeze salaries this year due to AI spending”.

What’s worse is they’ve added it to Android Auto. A couple days ago I told it to call my wife and it proceeded to search for local businesses containing my wife’s name.

Phil Collins is an English singer, drummer, songwriter, record producer, and actor. He was the drummer and later became the lead singer of the rock band Genesis and had a successful solo career, achieving three UK number-one singles and seven US number-one singles as a solo artist.

I like the polite claps

Bambu has been adding controls to their printers to force commands from your slicer to go through their servers before being sent to your printer. This had caused some stuff to stop working, like 3rd party AMS systems.

One guy forked (copied it and made his own changes to) their code and removed the restriction. Bambu didn’t like that and threatened him to take it down, while accusing him of falsely impersonating them to make API calls to their servers.

The dude is like “I didn’t impersonate shit, I just forked your code.” Bambu’s code is just a fork of other open source software, all under an open source license. So they have no authority to tell someone not to fork their code, since it’s all open source licensed.

So a lot of people have banded together to push back against Bambu and are ready to take them to court if necessary. They see this as a step by Bambu to try to make their printers more restricted (only use their addons, their filament, go through their cloud, etc).

Music executive Scott Borchetta told graduates of Middle Tennessee State University on May 9 that “AI is rewriting production as we sit here.”

When the jeers ensued, he doubled down, saying, “Deal with it.”

“Then do something about it,” he added as the boos continued…

Based music executive. Hyping up people to go burn down data centers.

Had to go back and watch it again. Is this dude wearing a Scooby Doo mask?

Wtf. Two Beavis and Butthead memes back to back in my feed posted by two different users to two different communities. What kind of glitch in the matrix fuckery is going on here?

Would’ve been hilarious if, in true AI fashion, it deleted his wallet immediately after recovering the password.

Stop poking meeeeee!

This is how I feel about Sync for Lemmy. I think that’s been broken going on a couple years now.

I love that she was genuinely baffled. Hope it makes her reexamine her thoughts on AI.

I’d say it’s responsible for at least 75% of us being here!

My wife and I joke that once you hit 40, a random 40s ailment just just assigned to you. Well, just one if you’re lucky. I got assigned some nerve pain myself.

Yeah 30s were like “oh I’ve got people that depend on me now so I can’t just fuck off and do whatever I want all day.”

40s are like “Oh shit, why does this hurt? It’s permanent?!”

That’s impressive, considering you only have 60 seconds to write a response.

I ain’t fartin’ on no snare drum
