@Gargron @verge @pabloniusmonk then whose posts have I been reading so far?

@arstechnica also, some of the biggest users of robocalls are political campaigns during election cycles.

@arstechnica I generally dislike the notion of carbon credits as it creates too many openings for cheats, even if a well meaning business leader intends the best to follow their spirit. I understand completely why the EU gives them side eye. I don’t think Apple even used the same term.

@arstechnica as it is apparently only being tested on ‘new’ signups, it shouldn’t take long to tabulate the results.

@arstechnica you know who else processes plant life into cheese? Mammals.

@arstechnica I wonder what the most popular FPS might be for the Mac?

I know outside a few console games in the 90s, and Doom, it never was my thing. Some Bungie stuff.

@feditips @headswap

Apologies for not noting if it was you that boosted it or not. I don’t live in a monoculture.

@headswap @feditips

There has to be some kid that has never called them goombas or recognized any of the mushroom characters as mushrooms. I’m certain that some kids thought they were turds.

@arstechnica what is the mal in their malware doing, exactly? Viruses, Spying, shoveling UCE spam?

@arstechnica keyboard in a baseball cap brim, cap doubles as a phone or tablet holder. Why not.

Just waiting to see the first hat bro doff his ever present cap to set up some ad hoc desk while saying ‘let me look that up’ in some stranger interaction.

@arstechnica they used to advertise VW Beetles this way, touting that full body drip pan. Which probably would not have kept water out and generally rusted out wherever roads were salted in winter.

@arstechnica there is possibility the mutations could be more dangerous, or, more benign.

@arstechnica It is important to keep in mind that your corporate publisher Condé Nast may have a vested interest in allowing AI generated images to be protected by copyright.

Perhaps the story needs a disclaimer to this effect.

@arstechnica when you have a halo halo built on being competent AND one of the good guys it is not a good time to double down on being a supervillain.

‘Hey the other guys have been doing pretty well by being mean SOBs, perhaps we should follow suit?’

@arstechnica gee, what an odd thing to drop into the PR cycle right before a tech event that is mostly about a usb-c upgrade.

Will new iPhones have Thunderbolt 5 flavored USB-C?

@arstechnica I’d just expect teachers, editors, copywriters and fact checkers to have to have to bleed on more drafts and call for better documentation.

The documentation should be the AIs job. AI should be an assistant, not a replacement.

@arstechnica onlookers: SLS = Space Launch System, for getting heavy stuff to the moon again. Cost = 24 billion.

@arstechnica Also, Grace Slick is no longer with the band.

@arstechnica is it possible these fees actually cover payments to competitors and communities for cell tower and utility pole sharing access?

Perhaps that deserves to be removed as an income stream via legislation.

That will probably make them ‘comply’

@arstechnica this might be a winner, as they say.
