My 70 year old boss and his 50 year old business partner just today generated a set of instructions for scanning to a thumb drive on a specific model of printer.

They obviously missed the "AI Generated" tag on the Google search and couldn't figure out why the instructions cited the exact model but told them to press buttons and navigate menus that didn't exist.

These are average people and they didn't realize that they were even using ai much less how unreliable it can be.

I think there's going to be a place for forums to discuss niche problems for as long as ai just means advanced LLM and not actual intelligence.

Too bad it's not retroactive, but it seems cool to at least start

Because it's the only other thing about that system at all. OP wasn't teaching, just showing what that system does. If you looked for a source that explains it you'd be told

From what I understand, the quality of uploads is already limited presumably because they can't afford better servers with no income.

Adding better quality uploads at a price is adding a feature, not degrading an existing one.

Right. There's a difference between enshitification and adding features that just aren't free.

This is the way. The constant bickering over the concept of "liberal" vs "actual left" is as exhausting as it is mostly futile.

Coming from someone who always votes left down the ticket because I live in a republican state hell hole:

There's a reason we want democrats in charge. They aren't perfect, but my state had a democrat governor (somehow) for 8 years until this year. The very first thing the supermajority red government did was axe the ethics board. The next thing they did was pass laws banning books that acknowledged gay culture at all and a unilateral bathroom bill with felony penalties.

The "both sides are the different flavors of fascism" take only works when you're completely blind to what republicans are actually out there doing.

1. "Handset" is obfuscating legalese to refer to a cell phone in a way intending to distance the meaning of the word from the thing that the old and technologically illiterate people who rule on this use every day.

2. I'm no fan of their strategy, but cell phone providers have claimed for a long time that filling your phone with unremovable bloatware causes the overall price to decrease. Their argument is most likely that they will have to charge more once the propagators of that bloatware realize that they can no longer force it on people and wedge that as a reason to pay less to carriers.

3. The reality is that cell phones are priced based on what people will buy anyway and carriers pocket as much of the money as they can that third parties pay them for their bloatware. Ultimately because of that this ruling hurts their bottom line, but the above reasoning gives plausible deniability in the face of the law as it is interpreted by old technologically illiterate lawmakers

I think it's not necessarily a contradiction to hold your pro-choice and anti-death penalty stance, but it's still a contradiction to hold the pro-life and pro-death penalty stance if your reasoning behind the pro-life stance is that all life is sacred.

I agree that a person's body autonomy and the state's power to execute citizens should not overlap, but I still think that giving the "all life is sacred" line to justify pro-life and then being pro-death penalty "because some people deserve to die" amounts to hypocrisy.

Sure but demoncrats are having post birth abortions and controlling hurricanes and rigging elections and causing my taco bell dinner to cost more! So what's the problem with stopping blue haired nymphos from killing babies?

Turns out you can get away with a lot of blatantly evil things if you just convince your entire voter base that the only reliable news source is a Republican owned "entertainment" propaganda outlet

Assuming bad faith over anyone who disagrees with you

libs are so cruel and violent

This is what leftist lemmy actually is. Voices of reason being underscored by the very same bad faith assumptions from a "morally superior" position.

All so you can feel better about the fact that people with your moral standing have zero power here while the rest of us actually try to keep this country from going tits up.

Do you honestly think the people you label as libs want genocide?
