I feel it is important to point out that a third world economy is not necessary for things like that!

“You can’t create something from nothing.”
Scientists: “Hold my beer…”


The AI features are actually pretty cool!
Using a local AI model (running on your own GPU), you can:
It supports voice and probably visual (e.g. with a webcam) I think.
Best of all: It doesn’t send any of that to some data center in the cloud! I mean, you can configure it to do that but you can just as easily use say, qwen3.5.
Note: It’s not realistic to expect to be able to use local models if you have less than 16GB of VRAM (in your GPU). I mean, some 8-billion parameter model will work with say, 8GB but you’re not going to be satisfied with the results most of the time 🤷


You’re just now figuring out that Dr Oz is grossly incompetent‽
Do you think Trump ever appoints competent people‽ He picks people based on loyalty and how much they appear on TV!


No one will believe you, so they’ll call it “sock therapy.”


I’m glad this guy slithered into my feed this morning.
Soon there won’t be settings at all! You’ll just have to ask Copilot to change what you want.

For a moment there I thought it said, “toddlers are happier giving threats to others” and thought of Trump.

For a second there, I thought I was looking at a cutaway of some epic new kind of pasta.

Meh. For a control I need to see a comparison of the lies in the search results. I bet Gemini is doing a better job than the limitless bullshit that people are expected to click on.
Let us not forget that Gemini is often pointing out basic facts like, “vaccines actually work” when people search for information about them. This angers a lot of complete idiots and results in anger-inducing clickbait articles… Like this one.
The fact that a machine can get 90% of everything correct is fucking amazing. And the pace of improvement in AI in general is astounding. Try to keep that in perspective when reading stories like this.
Anything over 50% is probably better than a random sampling of humans could do, based on our current state of education and “knowledge upkeep” (which is something most humans fail at, utterly and completely).


Ah, the good old days when your “dumb” refrigerator would kill children playing hide and seek because the latch wouldn’t open from the inside. When it was lined with asbestos because that’s literally the best insulation that exists excepting aerogel. When the mercury thermostat would fail—leaking mercury on to your food (and aerosolizing some which would be breathed in as soon as you opened it)—and it would freeze everything inside, complete with an interior wall of snow that could take days to defrost. It used old school freon, destroying the ozone layer. Or before then, fun highly toxic gasses like methyl chloride!
Those were the days! When a breeze through the house on a day with wonderful weather could blow out the pilot light in your oven, slowly leaking gas into your house, exploding and destroying the entire home late at night while everyone is asleep.
Then the wonders of electricity came along to produce ovens that were hooked up to 220V lines without a grounding wire, and wiring that would slowly fail over time, eventually making contact with the metal frame, electrocuting anyone who touched the device—or anyone that touched the person touching it.
Ovens were built different “back in the day”! They didn’t have anti-tip brackets, resulting in loads of children sitting on the oven door, spilling boiling liquids down upon them.
The best were those old washing machines, though! You could lift up the lid and look inside to see your laundry spinning at high speeds! Just don’t reach your hand in, or you could find out what the term “degloving” means.
Ah yes, the good old days of appliances.

I’m sure that’s the plan but I don’t think it’ll work out. Because the people who want such a thing aren’t competent enough to pull it off. If they were, they wouldn’t want or need such a thing.
“Did the road just get darker?”
“Yeah, man. What’s up with that?”
“I dunno, man, but I now have zero faith in this road.”


“It wasn’t me! It was the one-armed proxy!”

FBI’s New Political
Pre-CrimeTime Wasting Center
FTFY.
Just like every law enforcement attempt at trying to stop crime before it happens, this one will also be a useless waste of time. Even if they’re not actually trying to prevent crime but halt political dissent!


Oh please. There’s nothing wrong with a bunch of girls horsing around.
