@SaladBarFan Legalizing shop lifting did a lot to help close local stores and to make the remaining ones worse to shop at.

This is so dumb. The people “forcing” these stores to close are consumers preferring to shop online.

I firmly believe the mass closures of baby and maternity stores in America while forcing moms to resort to buying Amazon Chinese garbage is anti-nuclear family propaganda

@xw33bttv Lifestyle products that require govt id: alcohol, tobacco, guns, air travel, international vacation, etc, etc. Claude is actually useful in much more fundamental ways.

@xw33bttv It would be a bit annoying, but I sign in with my real gmail tied to my real government name and a 20 year identity history. They already sold me on the product, so sure.

KYC on a subscription service is a death sentence for consumer products. Most view it as a severe overreach.
Anthropic making unexplainable decisions rn lmao
Would you hand over your gov id to use Claude code?

If the social media companies still endorse the first-order utilitarian framework that led to suppressing covid speech, I think they have to suppress anti-Waymo speech.
(I don’t endorse that framework.)

Reminder: Waymo is so safe that if every car was driven like a Waymo, about 9% of America's life expectancy gap would disappear. 9 percent! Americans die in car accidents *that often*.

Is the Claude butthole suppose to represent (mis)alignment? Today years old
SakuraFan99@SakuraFan99
One concept that came out of the AI boom is "alignment". I would also like to apply this concept to the online right. Lately, I have seen a lot petty attacks and such on individuals of "low angle of disalignment" when that energy should be saved for ones of a high angle.

@drethelin Jit payments on due date saves pennies each payment each month which rapidly get wiped out if there’s ever a minor hiccup in automation or the account ever gets locked even briefly. Not worth the hassle.

@fentasyl Cursor still has a big following. While I’m not into the IDE, I use their bugbot at work and like it.

If Diablo II: Resurrected is going for nostalgia, they should require Daemon Tools to play it.

@dschorno Once I was at Teske’s and the band was playing music. Then all the sudden everyone screamed “who the fuck is alice!” It turned into this audience participation song everyone except my party knew. Really unnerving. Got anything like that?

Yes. It was weird.
We don’t understand how we got there.
We don’t understand how we got out.
We don’t understand why we’re going back.
Nobody thinks we’re going back. But then, nobody expected us to go.
That’s why we’re going back. Man is wolf to man. Man is sheep to man

I bought my United Airlines ticket from Chicago to L.A. for the 1984 Olympics exactly 365 days early. I paid a normal price.
A month later, United calls: "We just realized the Olympics are in LA in 1984, so we've gotta double your price!"
"Nope. We have a deal. Sorry."

@micsolana Even the most empire-building middle manager I’ve ever worked for wouldn’t use “we would have to expand headcount” as a purported benefit when pitching a project.

@signulll JG's obviously missed the boat, but Federighi's over correcting. "Have as many AI-powered features as possible" is how you get messes like in Windows.

since jobs left it feels like apple doesn’t have any ears to the ground anymore. instead of feeling the pulse of how ai is changing culture in real time, they’re in their ivory tower obsessing over complete nonsense.
like apple used to be the culture company. they defacto shaped how people saw themselves through tech but they have missed every opportunity on ai since original siri (which was a jobs pet project).
ai in many ways has the potential to disrupt the app store, ios, & maybe even the iphone itself.

@drethelin Tokyo Metro IPOed in 2024. However state interests still have a large stake in the company and a substantial portion of the system is still owned by the entirely public Toei Subway.

We probably all do read too many of the same people, zag together, etc. But dropping the taboo on “retarded” was just a good old fashioned preference cascade.
