How is that an improvement? Higher cost and less jobs?
Did every exec forget everything they learned in business school?

God damn that’s accurate and fucking scary.

Don’t forget stupid. And they’re now armed and authorized to used deadly force.

Imagine, hiring entirely incels and then telling them beware of women willing to date them.

Are you missing a chromosome?

What do you actually think would happen here? That a friend would text me within, idk, 1 to 4 hours of his mom dying? I think he’s got bigger problems - calling a funeral home, or just dealing with the grief.

Was he supposed to text me before the body was cold?

Or was I supposed to text him, either hourly or before I say anything else, “Hey, if your mom dead yet?”.

I didn’t go to Instagram LOOKING for this information. But it was there. As this was when the algorithm was new, I had a decade of experience with IG to expect that if there was anything recent, a quick scroll would surface it, but I was also doing the same thing I’d do a couple times a day.

But IG manipulated my feed, ruined the experience and caused an awkward moment.

He had a few more urgent things to handle. I’m sure I would’ve gotten a call or text hours or a day or so later. But the algorithm decided that it didn’t want to show me sad news and would rather send me engagement bait.

That’s the dumbest possible response, but I see you’re just a troll.

And FYI this was right as they swapped out the original the chrono feed. I was vaguely aware it was happening, I don’t know if I knew it had rolled out to me yet. I had only had a sneaking suspicion he’d post it there. And as I mentioned, I knew she had days to maybe a week. It would’ve been one of the top posts in a chrono feed.

Meta, decided, for their own gain, to change how their app worked, with essentially no warning, no choice and no transparency - wasn’t like there was a big notification saying Your Feed Changed. The only thing different visually was the order of the timestamps.

For anyone else, I’ll leave another example: https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2014/12/24/inadvertent-algorithmic-cruelty/

I’ll share a short story of how the algorithm sucks. A friend’s mom was dying of cancer. I knew it would be within a few days or week. He was texting me a lot - but in random bursts - trying to distract himself from the inevitable. I scrolled through IG, thought I saw it all, and having not heard from him in a while, I texted him something somewhat goofy.

He texted me back, “My mom just died”. I had no idea. Sure enough, scroll another 5 minutes and buried at the end of my feed is his post from less than 2 hours ago.

Instagram made me look like a dick because they’d rather show me 26 hour old content, than 2 hour content.

What he really means is you’ll see more native posts from brands, and not see as many ads, because they hide posts from brands to force them to pay to reach their own followers.

Everyone at Meta can fuck themselves to death

Author says on reddit that it’s vibe coded. Boo.

This title is so bad it gave me cancer

No amount of money can satisfy their empty fucking hearts and minds

This. Sooo many internet smoothbrains saw this as if Proton put on a MAGA hat and stormed the capital. They said one pragmatic thing, given the current circumstances at the time.

He may be artificial but is by no means intelligent.

In any decent civilization, someone as evil and corrupt and stupid as Brendan Carr would be taken to a remote destination and beaten into a chunky soup

But you’re not selling that as a service. A raspberry pi can run a basic Ai model, but you’d never get $5 a month for access from even a single user in all likelihood.

I figure 1% to own it, 4% to run it and protect the 1%, and the rest of us to use it.

You mean to say, the thing that only billionaires can own, is making billionaires richer?
People are fucking stupid. AI goal is to make 95% of humans expendable and/or slaves.

The article states: “The spider, like the commies, also thought it was a good idea to come after me while I was armed,” Rittenhouse posted. “He did not survive.”

Hopefully it was a murder suicide.

You gotta wonder if there’s not ways to make this useful. Like, what if you used steam heat like NYC, or could supply hot water to downtown for businesses and hotels - even if you’d still have to heat it up some, it should be less than heating from tap temperatures.
