That time was back on November 6.

Or January 20.

Google scans YouTube videos for information about what products appear in them

Yes, but not specifically looking for products. They’re scanning to try to learn everything about the video with the goal of better matching suggestions to the interests (as determined by watch history) of viewers.

The intention is (as always) to increase viewer session time because the more time viewers spend on the platform, the more ads they see and ultimately the more money YouTube makes.

Of course, that scanning and view history can also be used to target ads with the goal of increasing ad click-thru and conversion (ultimately also driving the profit goal)

Starting with the late 70s then the election of Reagan

Also around that time televangelist Pat Robertson was an advisor to Reagan and even tried his own run for president.

Trump is the derp state

As a european working in the weapon industry, I love reading american people thinking we make no weapons or the weapons we make are worse.

American exceptionalism has been a major feature of the Americans self image for many generations.

It’s really tiring living beside them and having to hear them constantly blathering about it.

Desktop unless I’m away from home or on the shitter.

I thought Musk fired them?

A billboard in DC or someplace he is visiting

On the route between the airport and MaraLardo.

Click the 3 dots on the right, select “do not recommend channel”.

It works better than I expected.

Having a switch next to the door would be useful if you’re using that socket for a lamp

That is specifically what switched outlets in north America are intended to be used for.

All of them in the UK.

or workforce.

Not even.

They’re constantly trying to find ways to reduce staff to the absolute minimum.

At my former job, I saved a ridiculous number of email chains that showed my objections and the management reply to just do it in a folder I creatively named “CYA”.

Because it’s really cheap.

The same thing might have happened if she bought a Mac and needed some Windows only software.

Is it off, or is it an optional module that doesn’t have to be adding bloat to my system if I don’t want to use it?

LLMs can take up a pretty big storage footprint.

My biggest issue with that is the amount of bloat a full local LLM implementation would add.

But if it’s an optional module that you can choose to add (or choose not to add) after the fact, I have no complaint.

Or maybe the scam is “click here to claim…”

first they tried to argue the contract shouldn’t have been written that way so I still had to pay.

“So what? You’re the ones who wrote the contract. It’s your fuckup, you pay for that not me…”

Thw 100k word part is relatively easy.

The coherent story part is not possible with today’s LLMs, even with a much smaller word count.

Hell, lots of human writers fail at making their stories coherent.
