You might find that name hilarious (as do I), but Devan Nunes would seething with anger at that. Especially since he just lost his job at Trump’s money laund- err, ‘social media’ company.

To expand on what others here have said: no they can’t, and there was a recent article here on Lenny taking about how AI (which I know is different from average bots) has figured out most of the visual captcha types.
I hope so too. Although the IT job market isn’t great right now, so I doubt the departures will reach a critical mass.
Interesting. Teams has been doing this for a few years now, so I assume it’s the same functionality just transferred over to Outlook (which has been going through a massive overhaul recently). For anyone in an MS-based company with Teams being actively used, this is not a new thing.
I get the overall point, but it’s kind of funny that the article’s title mentions sheep but the associated image features goats.
ETA: Oh wow, those are actually a type of sheep.
I watched it last weekend with my kids. I was pleasantly surprised - it’s actually a pretty good movie. Shame it’s done so poorly in the box office. Now there won’t be any sequels. The marketing department really screwed this one over with that first trailer. The squeezed every joke into it and made it look really goofy. I think that put off many of the people who even heard about the movie.
I’m so glad I never sent them my DNA. It was tempting from a genealogy perspective. But my concerns about privacy and them selling on customer information always weighed heavier than that temptation.
But I feel a lot of sympathy for those who used their services. For a while they incessantly advertised them, including via paid endorsements from many ‘trusted’ podcasters and YouTubers. The company’s failure should bring to the fore a drive for new laws in many countries to protect consumers’ DNA from being monetized and exploited. But sadly we all know it won’t.
Altman is the latest from the conveyor belt of mustache-twirling frat-bro super villains.
Move over Musk and Zuckerberg, there’s a new shit-heel in town!
This has the makings of a great sci-fi story.
Okay, I like this lore.
If he’s the one fixing all the destruction wrought by Kool-Aid Man, isn’t he the good twin? Which would of course make Kool-Aid Man… the evil twin!
Oh he’s screwed. She’s going to sentence him to be hung hanged, drawn, and quartered for trying to kill her lord and savior.
What do I want to do when I retire? Pretty much nothing! I want to watch TV shows and soccer games, play video games, sleep in, take naps during the day as I see fit, hang out with my wife, and shit-post online.
But I know that hobbies, side-projects, and socializing are important for delaying cognitive decline and staying active. So I’ll probably, begrudgingly, do some of that shit too.
Still a decade or two before I can even think about retiring though. And things can change. So who knows.
This is exactly my situation. My kids and I could move over there easily and in an instant, legally. But I’m not sure what the process is for my wife.
Also, there’s more to moving to another country than just the legality (and that aspect alone is insurmountable for many unsuspecting people). You’re talking about leaving/moving/selling all your belongings, vehicle(s), possibly also a home. And going through the whole process of getting a new job, new schools, cultural shock for kids. And transferring money over, setting up be accounts, etc. And dealing with starting from scratch with credit scores and such. And all that would involve moving back to a country that has its own pretty profound struggles right now. It’s a massive headache. But it’s something we are definitely considering.
Unfortunately for the AI models, about 95% of LinkedIn posts are total shite with no value whatsoever.
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve joined Faceless Employee-Hating Corporation as a Senior wage Slave! I’m really looking forward to pouring my heart and soul into their profiteering endeavors over the next few years until their board lays me off so they can all afford another luxury yacht!
The Prestige. There are so many layers to that movie. I’ve watched it 4 or 5 times, and each time I notice new details.
That’s a damn good cast. Looks like a funny movie.
It’s interesting to me how Ackman was portrayed in the 2016 Betting On Zero documentary as some kind of social champion for the poor who wanted to end the exploitation of regular working/middle class Americans by Herbalife.
When watching that that depiction of Ackman rang hollow, no matter how hard they tried to push that narrative. It just seemed like a financial battle royale where both sides were scumbags. And now, of course, that’s been confirmed (yet again). He’s just another entitled ultra-rich asshole peddling bullshit for his own selfish, exploitative intentions.
…And a large and expensive gun collection, and tons of NASCAR paraphernalia.
