I still need to get up the motivation to clean up my youtube subscriptions, there's just way too much cluttering it up that I've idly subscribed to over the years, so it's annoying in a different way than the main feed.

To contribute to wtf YouTube chat I only use it as a vehicle for Taskmaster but broke my routine to look up a song the other day (DOA cover of Eve of Destruction) and the recommended viewing suggestions at the bottom of the page were insane - Best On Camera Animal Attacks and other faces of death type poo poo where even the thumbnails were disturbing. I get that I was looking up an apparently outré ancient punk cover but this seems like stuff even a half assed AI mod should be clearing out? Blah blah blah think of the children and all that…

EDIT: on second thought, i'm going to edit this post, it didn't fit the spirit of the thread.

I was at a restaurant with my wife and the guy at the bar next to us was watching AI videos of like, big motorcycles. This person could afford a 40 dollar cheese board. I can’t even describe how I feel about this.

Yeah but what real-world artists are putting up videos of giant motorcycles The guy is a prime customer for giant motorcycle content and the generative AI guys were the first to market Sucks but the giant motorcycle artists are to blame here

If by "big" you mean larger than any real world motorcycles it's probably a super specific sexual fetish.

Microsoft’s ICC blockade: digital dependence comes at a costquote:In February, the United States imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. As a result, Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan has no access to the emails on his Microsoft account. The incident once again demonstrates the risks of dependence on US IT services.

Yeah, this is something I've been worried about since Trump took office. Hopefully this is a wakeup call for everyone. Use US services? Get hosed. Buy a US vehicle? maybe it doesn't work tomorrow. Say something mean about Trumpy Dump? Maybe you don't get to use the Swift banking system.

bar88537 posted:There's a few items that I wonder how a company actually makes money on it. Deodorant is one. I caught some flack for this post the other day. I think a better example is light switches and electrical outlets. Home Depot currently has both at less than $1 a piece. You buy them when you first build or remodel a home, they have to work to safety standards that no techbro could conceive of, and they stay there for basically a whole generation's time. How does a company like that make money and how has no vulture capitalist decided to blow this whole thing up?

They make lots and lots of other things, and even then they cost less than a dollar to make. If you're talking about Eaton, they don't make light switches and that's it. They make here just look at all this poo poo. They are, again, a multinational multi-billion dollar corporation with 85,000 employees worldwide. These are all conglomerates operating on massive massive scales. Honeywell doesn't make its profits selling oscillating fans, they sell jet engines.

bar88537 posted:how has no vulture capitalist decided to blow this whole thing up? How many smart home companies have pulled a "we're not supporting that anymore, so we're intentionally bricking things" at this point? That's how vulture capitalists are blowing it up. Get ready to replace your light switches every five years for wifi compatibility. The real trick will be when they start having things phone home for "safety," followed by the regulations requiring them.

Light switches have no mechanism that is under patent and hundreds of thousands of tooling processes and molds already exist for them. Unless they get blown up all at once or banned or something, production will always be a cheap turnkey investment for anyone with the cash to invest One of the few extant examples of capitalism doing what it is advertised to do

So... doesn't this run amuck with EU laws and regulations somehow? Will Microsoft be fined and will be forced to pick a side/leave EU/leave US? Same with the banks.
