Yeah, same thought here. Even more revealing (damning?) Is the fact that it was written by 'staff.'

I see this style more and more, and they always serm to be written by generic 'staff.'

Honestly, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture was that her son made her a crown, and she was proudly rockin' it.

One thing about it is that there's a lot more traffic. I used to browse "all" new posts, just in the hopes of seeing something new - a new post or some discussion on...something.

Lemmy traffic is steadily increasing; and I suspect the community stuff is not growing as quickly. That's not the only reason, but that's part of it I'm sure.

2 is for 2-spirit; I've seen both 2 and 2S, but either way it refers to Indigenous 3rd-gender folks.

I wish we could really press the main point here: Google is willfully foisting their LLM on the public, and presenting it as a useful tool. It is not, which makes them guilty of neglicence and fraud.

Pichai needs to end up in jail and Google broken up into at least ten companies.

Stop. Threatening.

Start. Sentencing.

Fisker said it hired a Chief Restructuring Officer in the hopes of staving off bankruptcy.

Ah yes. No better way to reduce costs than hiring another C*O.

Fuck Oprah.

Her sanctimonious bullshit brought us Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, and Jenny McCarthy.

Her 'listening platform' has probably lead directly to the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

I'm surprised nobody has discussed the most obvious "marketing" use of this data: Differential pricing.

Someone walks up to the machine. Based on the image seen by the machine, they determine which product is most likely to sell, and bump that product's price up by a quarter or 50 cents.

If they're not doing it now, they're preparing to do it in the near future.

EDIT If you watch Invenda's marketing videos, they talk about how the 'optical sensor' provides a 'bespoke purchasing experience.'

Sounds exactly like dynamic pricing is their model.

"Pierre Poilievre supports plan to kill trans youths."

That's it. Smith's plan will kill people, and Poilievre supports it.

Good on Danielle, for really stepping up her game.

Previously she was letting people die from lack of healthcare and support, but she's finally stepped up to the plate and announced that she's willing to commit murder.

Are they only cancelling this now, three days before NYE? Did they have entertainment and bookings lined up, or did they just quietly do nothing?
