If no human was lazy we'd all still be endurance hunting...

Advances aren't made by people driven to do the most. They're made by lazy people who want to put in the least effort. A special kind of laziness where you'd spend 2 days figuring out how to shave an hour off a frequent task because you hate just doing it.

Unfortunately, that scenario is no longer the stuff of cold war fiction. As first reported by Business Insider, Major General William “Hank” Taylor, commander of the 8th Field Army in South Korea, told reporters that “Chat[GPT] and I” have become “really close lately.”

“I’m asking to build, trying to build models to help all of us,” he said, adding that he’s using ChatGPT to help make military and personal decisions affecting the soldiers under his command. This includes the joint United Nations Command in South Korea, which Taylor currently leads as chief of staff.

Evolution has always heavily favored taking the easiest route possible, and humans especially excel at offloading anything we possibly can. Laziness is ironically a huge advantage for most of human existence.

So it makes sense when people immediately dump their own critical thinking to AI. And if it's just one person fucking their own life up it's not a huge deal.

But a senior military leader offloading executive decisions to an AI is fucking insane.

Not only for all the normal reasons, but the fact that it could be a personalized attack vector, and at this level with him publicly talking about it...

Someone is going to try.

But he's not just fucking around with his own life and safety, he's fucking with thousands of people with little to no oversight.

I just hope to God he's using the DoD version at least and not just a random build.

He's been doing the watch grift since before the last election.

Some watch collectors ordered earlier models to see how bad they are, and they're basically being made with the same components as shitty Rolex knockoffs, which line up with assumptions after hearing the producers name.

If you know absolutely nothing about watches they might seem different, but if you appraise it or a collector looks at, they'll probably openly laugh when looking at them.

It's cheap junk spray painted gold then stamped with Trump's name and the word "crypto".

Cults tend to charge for immaterial things, and if you complain they say it's your fault it didn't work, and to fix it you need to give more.

This is different.

These are capitalist grifts where the victims anticipate a tangible exchange of goods.

It's a lot harder to say a shitty watch is worth it when it can be appraised and assigned real world value.

It's not going to be a huge loss of support, but like I said, this is just chipping away at the most feverant supporters, which historically is the best way to fight fascism. And Trump's doing it to himself because he's greedy

Conservatives do t understand consequences till they are effected...

All these grifts do, is slowly chip away at his most loyal supporters, because they're the only ones even attempting to buy this shit.

Lol, the one positive review mentions how it's designed for "a very small wrist"...

I wonder if this is just because it was made cheaply in Asia and not designed for the average heft of a trumpet, or if they used Trump's baby hands for sizing?

Back in the day wed hook up old desktops straight to living room PCs. There was no apps so we'd just go to websites.

I'd be surprised if there isn't some kind of raspberry pi mini PC with a good guinerap around Linux.

Some people will use a PlayStation/Xbox as well.

I think my comment is more about privacy than ads

I agree ...

Everyone else was talking about one thing, and you acted like I was talking about a bunch of other things.

That's why you're confused, we were talking about ads, and you got upset we weren't having another discussion.

Now why are antelopes the super ungulates?

See how little sense that makes?

We're talking about ads (and maybe privacy) on TV's mate...

Yeah. I grew up on country and remember her first CMT music videos during my formative years.

Waaaay before she was famous, and all the teen drama songs were appropriate.

But she's had a death grip on that genre so long, her current competitors weren't even born when she released her first album. Legitimately, her first song released 19 years ago at 18, I checked.

That's like people say all the "versions" are just a cash grab, but it's more nefarious, for over a decade when a young female artists releases a big album for that demo, Taylor drops a new version to steal sales away from younger artists.

She's got a pure boomer mentality about it. She'll never try to bring the next generation on, she intentionally and consistently puts them down so she can maintain her position at the top of the pile.

There's zero indication she can grow as an artist, and more and more people are considering that sad.

Shes gonna go from the world's biggest start to a joke very fast, but it'll still take years to really start.

It's not even personal opinion, it's objective fact...

Amazon shoves ads on everyone of their products far and above any competitors.

Oh sweet summer child, Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.

The track record for people using that condescending phrase while not understanding what's happening continues...

The smart TVs operate on Android TV, made by Google.

Amazon uses their own version of Android, and that's where all the shitty stuff comes from.

I've got a nice name brand android TV, the only ads are "this movie is on streaming" or "this show premieres in a week".

I got a cheap Amazon TV in another room, in the same place for ads on the home screen, it has ads for random products

There is a marked difference. They are "better" at this. Obviously no one in 2025 thinks google is "good"
