Yes.

Ok funny story… had a friend that was an early adopter of the Amazon Echo. Went to our usual get together for board-gaming and he was showing it off. The look on his face when I said “Alexa, order a 55 gallon drum of KY jelly” and she proceeded to place the order (this was, at the time, a thing that was actually available on Amazon). He had to rush to his computer to cancel the order.

Funny as hell…

We found the TRUE terrorist….

I am not the core audience for this product as I loathe Meta with a passion but I’m also an IT professional with primary focus on hardware and system architecture/networking with 30 years experience. This explanation sounds painfully accurate and very plausible and just short sighted enough to pass my smell test. That doesn’t mean it’s accurate but I totally believe it.

Those glasses should have been sandboxed to hell and back if not totally scripted/faked for demo purposes. Wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if somebody gets fired because of it.

In my opinion it just makes the whole thing more real. I’m excited about the tech, just not from Meta. I’d become a full blown Luddite before I wear anything with a Meta name on it.

I work for a large southern university. I can’t imagine the chaos that would happen if they tried that here.

Unfortunately ARC is about the only competitor in the reasonably priced GPU market right now. I would love a 5090 Ti or an RTX 6000. My wallet, not so much.

So….? They did?

Well we know it wasn’t Russia since no windows were involved.

Not sure if this is related or not but on Linux when I have a machine on the same subnet as an advertised route that I have connected to Tailscale, I can’t access the local subnet at all. On Mac’s it’s fine, only Linux. I had to hunt down this little trick:

ip ro del table 52 <subnet>

There are other ways to solve it but I added this to the service that starts Tailscale.

I would sue the fuck outta that dude.

Pretty sure if anybody is found hanging from a tree without a chair or something under them is foul play. A black person hanging from a tree with nothing under them is likely a lynching and a hate crime.

Damn you … I shot coffee out my nose with that. 😂

I don’t use the phone part to be honest. It’s an always connected mobile computer. The only calls I answer are from my wife and mom.

110% agree … It’s so frustrating to get hooked on a show and Netflix/Amazon cancels it because it was only slightly popular and didn’t have Stranger Things kind of numbers.

Case in point, I’m a huge Star Trek fan but I didn’t start Strange New Worlds until now after it had three seasons under its belt.

Often. That why I don’t start a series of books unless there are at least like 4-5 in the series. But even then the series ends sometimes and it feels like you’ve lost a dear friend.

Let them fight!!!

Add Shawshank Redemption to this list and it would basically be my list.

I really fucking hate this administration. Not a day goes by that I do not wish for this all to just end. It’s just depressing. If this is what America has become I’m not sure I want to be here any more, not that I have anywhere to go.

Comparing Charlie Kirk to MLK Jr is wrong on SO many levels.

Great, another GPU that no one will be able to find to actually buy.

I see what you did there 🤣

And this is why you should never trust Grok, or any LLM for that matter, to be completely free from, well, just making shit up. This is because they do not think. They do not understand context. They are incapable of actual understanding. They are a next word guesser. Pure and simple. And when it has been trained to be bat shit crazy. Well you get bat shit crazy.
