With infinite budget sure, worth a shot, but it would cost a lot more than the price of the phone to track it down.

Infinite budget? Bro, I know the exact location. Just go over there and knock on his door. Arrest the man and put him in jail for possession. One less thief out there taking advantage of the fact that the police doesn't enforce the fucking laws.

The criminals could and probably do have ‘faraday bags’ to block signals from phones as they move them, only ever taken out to sell them along.

They could, but they don't.

In a world of home surveillance, doorbell cameras, and phones with constant GPS that can tell you the exact location of where it's at, the police are more useless than ever.

The demo was neat, but it was hilariously overhyped, even in the abstract paper. It was pretty damn obvious that the researchers were just trying to continue funding their research with a PR push.

The more interesting aspect was the potential for better AI video processing, not creating a game engine. You can't create a game engine without a series of defined rules, and you can't define those rules without documenting it in programming language.

A Mastodon user stumbling upon one of these comments could easily assume that it is just another fully independent “toot” (Mastodon’s equivalent of tweet).

Wait, back up... Mastodon calls these "toots"? So, everybody is posting farts?

That kind of ownership clause is pretty standard for mods, especially when the game officially supports mods. Game studios don't want to run into legal issues if they release some DLC or patch that happens to implement features that another mod included.

God, that's so accurate.

Although, you could replace "brand" with "adult", and it would work for memes that kids have propagated.

Then I woke up, at first impressed that I did that. Then I just couldn’t help but wonder if I was just dreaming that I lucid dreamed and that the choices I made were actually just a part of the dream.

Your choices in a dream are colored by the reduced mental output you have when you're dreaming. In a dream, you might make a lot of dumb decisions than make perfect sense in the dream, but are immediately illogical when you think about them awake.

With lucid dreaming, you have an increased self-awareness, but you're still in a low-activity brainwave state.

That's the thing about automation and training models.

First, they implement some sort of auto-reporting bot that requires a human to review them. In the beginning, it only about 50% accurate, but as they give it more and more examples of good and bad results through the human reviews, it moves to 80%, then 90%, then 99%, then 99.99% accuracy.

After a while, the humans on the other end are so numb to the 9999 entries they have to mark as approved that they can barely tell what's a rejection themselves, and the moderation team is asking itself just what this human review is actually doing. If it's 99.99% accurate, why not let the bot decide?

Then, the model moves on from auto-reporting to auto-moderation.

your reign of terror shoulda ended with Indigo Prophecy.

Well, at least it ended with JASON!

Microsoft Ruined Windows (www.youtube.com)

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.
