Discovered a cursed photo subgenre: "grift hands"

No, Atlassian, I do not wish to "meet Rovo, your new AI teammate". I think he smells.

When the economics catches up with OpenAI et al I think this guy is going to find his thought experiment quickly turns into a real life scenario.

That's the one! A lot of teletext artists don't like them/can't figure them out, but I tend to go mad and use them in everything 😄

Pascal *and* a portable computer with Psion ancestry? Perfect!

Coding like it's the 90s🎉 ... What was the first programming language you ever learned? ... Had great fun learning #TurboPascal and coding my very own #Terminator2 PIN program that you can see in my very latest YouTube video, link below (cont...)

Fucking hell as if receiving automated rejection letters for jobs wasn't bad enough.

The old wizards in Hocus Pocus are always so helpful.

Two-player #BBCMicro Elite has just become the first game ever to support all the buttons on twin Delta 14B joysticks So two players can dogfight in Elite without either of them needing the keyboard For some of us, this is a dream come true! And it justifies all this hardware I keep buying... 😀

Great to finally see the conclusion of the Cartmel master plan.

It’s finally out

Whenever I hear people say "AI makes X easier" I can't help wondering if the lack of ease is what makes achieving X worthwhile in the first place.

Why am I watching a 1 hour video on cash registers? Cathode Ray Dude, that's why.

I'm a fairly easy going guy, but I do think some of these "conundrums" regarding modern tech like Meta's paedo-goggles could be easily solved by just banning them, outright.

Call me a luddite but I think we might be better off putting everyone building a child abuse image generator & accessories into a massive wicker man rather than rebuilding society round their desire to sell tech to nonces

We currently have advice going out to parents about not posting any photos of their kids online but apparently we can do nothing about a product whose main selling point seems to be unlimited creepshots that you can boost up to actual child abuse images with their in house AI

The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2w ago

Meta’s smartglasses mean any child can be covertly filmed. In the age of AI, how do we tackle that risk?

Cake for breakfast! I mean, they call it "banana bread" but we know. We all know.

Apparently, something happened 57 years ago in, like, space or something? I think the best take on it is still probably that of Dinah Hall...

One does not simply admit to one's age via the medium of film...

Without saying your age, what’s your favourite movie that came out when you were 18?

I used to work for Parcelforce & had a work trip to the main processing hub. There was a huge pile of parcels in the middle of a big room, they were parcels that ended up in the hub accidentally that were for CityLink that CL refused to come get. CityLink main hub was literally next door.

SMD@anothersmd.bsky.social · last yr.

what are some absurd work situations you can share? once i got called into a meeting i had nothing to do with because the consultant brought an engineer and no one in the room could understand him, so they asked me to translate. he was scouse. i translated from english to english.

Missiles are now working in two-player #BBCMicro Elite. This clip shows player 1 firing a missile at player 2 (in the bottom view) and then player 2 retaliating (in both views). This was really difficult to build! But it's important; see the thread for details. #retrocomputing #retrogaming (1/3)
