As a dirty American, we just borrow schadenfreude from German usually in my experience.

There are English phrases that approximate it - like “taking enjoyment in another’s misery” but not really a word, at least one I can think of.

Or maybe a machine to do my laundry

Oh boy, do I have news for you!

Alt joke >!You mean a wife? !<

Nah bruh it’s cool just run the same prompt again and again and again, surely sooner or later it will be right. In no way is it going to do the opposite and just keep degrading with each output reading from the last one.

Semi related - You know, honestly, all AI is showing me is how absolute bullshit so many jobs are that we have in the corpo world. Like, at some point we’re gonna have an AI write a thing for an AI to read and file and there will be a little loop and then what the hell is the point of the job in the first place if it’s just machines sending things back and forth that’s just business class white noise.

Oh yeah we’re fucked here in USA, I just am saying paint is not a culture.

LMAO works flawlessly in other countries is a hilarious way to say that people still get hit by cars and are injured, or worse, in crosswalks where countries do have hefty fines for not stopping for pedestrians. Also someone would have to actually enforce that.

As a, quite sad, example - a child was killed at a crossing near a school near me when a person who wasn’t paying attention ran them over in the crosswalk. Guess what, here in America where I live there is a fine and it’s even more if you’re in a school zone. Did not flawlessly stop that kid from dying.

You’re a silly person, aren’t ya.

Yeah fuck me for acknowledging AR glasses or other AR tech could be very useful but it’s being limited by our privacy concerns that are basically theater at this point.

Truly I am so cowardly Mr big internet man.

I’m just being realistic about the future. You already are carrying around a machine that’s listening and watching. You’re walking into and out of stores where you’re on camera. Hell you’re driving past however many cameras in your car or walking past them on the street, every business, every office, every space has cameras now.

Thus, I think eventually more and more augmented reality devices will be seen because people will come to appreciate their uses outside of just being recording devices once that concern is overcome. In other words, wearing AR glasses won’t get you default labeled as some perverted weirdo.

You don’t need to bend the knee but we’re past the point where there should be any expectation of privacy in public spaces. I’m not saying I like it, I’m saying I expect our society to continue to move towards a surveillance model where privacy simply cannot be expected in any public space.

Do I think it’s dystopian and bad, yes, yes I do. I also think we need strong privacy protections for our private domiciles. That doesn’t mean my opinion is aligned with what actually is going to happen in our world.

I don’t want it but it’s what is going to happen and has been happening.

The truth is that we already are living in the surveillance state and people are just going to have to “get over” being recorded in public by anyone that walks by.

I don’t like it either. But that’s the reality we’re entering into, where privacy isn’t a right but a privilege and that privilege does not exist save for some very select (if any at this point) places like your home … Maybe.

Capitalism. Everything you described costs money to create and maintain and it generates zero (or negative) profit. Most people aren’t going to want to pay for some sort of nanny toolkit.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you and it should be like that. Our current systems are not going to bring that about though.

It took me a second because I temporarily forgot flagged was the term for pointing a gun at someone so initially in my head this guy looked down the barrel then waved at the range master to get their attention.

That should be at the beginning of every movie.

Also maybe I’m just fucking old but I think if you bust your cell phone out in a movie theater during the movie you should get punched in the face and have the phone shoved up your ass.

Literally all the ordering for stores uses the internet now; we’d be absolutely fucked for a good while if the internet actually went down in the USA.

Ok … So you’re mad I said you’re not a Libertarian and now you’re just explaining how you’re not a Libertarian?

Yeah … I know someone else already said this but you’re absolutely not a Libertarian. So, good news, you can throw that box out and realign your language.

Also, I get that it’s a talking point but I think everyone believes in a fiscally responsible government. It’s just some weird right wing double think trick people say to imply the other side does not want that when in reality the Dems (if we’re framing this through an American lens) want fiscal responsibility just as much as any other party or persons.
