Does ring true dunnit?

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

Redbox’s owner files for bankruptcy after repeatedly missing payments and payroll (www.theverge.com)

informed employees of the filing late Friday […] that it had filed for a debtor-in-possession loan — a way for companies that are reorganizing after filing for bankruptcy to secure additional working capital to meet payroll. […] employees have been waiting for paychecks since June 21st […] it’s not certain that the...

Capitalism’s great!

Could’ve been triage - deferring maintenance to make payroll. Everything suffering as they try to stay alive. (random speculation 100%)

ChatGPT outperforms undergrads in intro-level courses, falls short later (arstechnica.com)

Researchers create 30 fake student accounts to submit model-generated responses to real exams. Professors grade the 200 or 1500 word responses from the AI undergrads and gave them better grades than real students 84% of the time. 6% of the bot respondents did get caught, though… for being too good. Meanwhile, AI detection...

Great. Other free filing is acceptable. And folks will be kinda used to it from the get go.

Good example of why summaries and screenshots are important

In general I think best practice is to call out “hey, I can see your area code in case you want to edit your post to more fully redact it” then any jokes about “since I wouldn’t want anyone to know I lived in [REDACTED] either!”

Think they’re offering a privacy(“”) tip:

Spend ~$50/yr to avoid spam calls.

Less if FreedomPop works. $0 if Google Voice works & if Alphabet products are acceptable.

Snapchat’s offered that for years, though generally you get consent since you’ll point the selfie camera at yourself and a friend.

Hmm:

-> thinking about somebody naked

Widely accepted if you don’t talk about it

-> Photoshopping somebody naked

Widely despised (w/o consent). Maybe it’s too linked to the release at some point of the images. but I have a feeling even if no one ever posted that stuff, we would still feel icky about it.

Interesting, something is icky but I don’t know why

Depending on how:

  • much they make
  • slow they are learning new things, and
  • how long they remain employed

that could be the cheaper path!

And so much more fun for IT regardless!

Ohhh didn’t know about that sense of the word in that context. Interesting!

Do you have any idea what the warez scene is like today?

Also there was a bot on the former Warez-BB dot org that would post scene releases seemingly moments after they pre’d. Imagine those kinds of people are on Telegram or something today…

The joys of having $xx/mo to reward creators. (Maybe only $.xx goes to the actual creators but still, it feels better!)

lol! That’s great.

Imagine if Uber had done it ethically. All the app, none of the shady. Would’ve been a WAY slower start but I want to believe the excellent technology would’ve been enough for them to win. No “broken” card readers, no scamming women in countries with foreign currency (former colleague’s anecdote), no having to lie to get the driver to let you in before telling them later your real destination, reduced racial discrimination…

Also since Google thinks this is OK:

Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp (www.reuters.com)

Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans.

So frustrating.

Can they prevent review fraud without requiring SSNs and background checks and more? (High-dollar item manufacturers could always pay randos to buy their items and leave 4-5 star reviews, right?)

Amazon could kill MRJHABCU and ANWKCB and PPQHZQS brands that give themselves 5000 positive reviews overnight… overnight.

But then the remaining products, wouldn’t they get review frauded real good?
