How do typewriters eat?

oh boy, another article about CEOs saying what “AI” could maybe do in the future. i’ll put this one in the pile with all the others

also from the article:

Even more concerning, attempts to uninstall it often fail due to its deep integration into Samsung’s One UI operating system.

Reports indicate the app reactivates automatically following software updates or factory resets, making it virtually unremovable for average users.

but i do agree that “virtually unremovable” and “unremovable” are two very different things. and im not even sure i would classify this as “virtually unremovable”

at least they have a source

could you attach a picture of it? i want to be sure i don’t accidentally look at it by mistake

it adds to the metaphor

The commission pitched the Digital Omnibus as simplifying and streamlining digital regulations to relieve the regulatory burden for digital services and AI systems, with a specific focus on helping small-to medium-sized businesses in Europe; however, the draft proposal goes further than expected.

won’t somebody think of the poor “AI” companies? 😢

for anybody wondering why airlines use curvy flight paths: it’s because most flight paths were made before AI

if they did that then nobody would use it, and then the shareholders would be sad.

i refuse to believe anybody has been born after 2003, and even that is pushing it.

by the looks of it, this cat already has a scratching board that it very much enjoys

cloud’s gone

things like this would make me boycott a grocery store until the end of time

yeah it is extremely frustrating how many traps there are. i think it’s because the US has a culture of thinking things are “safe until proven unsafe” instead of “unsafe until proven safe”.

learning about the paper towels, microwave popcorn, and silicone cookware made me go nuclear on my kitchen. at this point i only let food touch glass, stainless steel, wood, or ceramic. it’s annoyingly difficult to find non-plastic versions of certain things (e.g. blenders) but after doing it once i don’t have to worry about it again for 5-10 years so it’s not too bad in that context. and i haven’t had to deal with any of the traps since then.

i meant microwaving it in a regular bowl and then putting it in a colander afterwards

i think it’s even easier to use a microwave and a colander. the colander will also last a whole lot longer than a roll of paper towels.

i still haven’t found a great alternative to be honest, but at the moment i just try to see if i can somehow use a strainer/colander to accomplish the same task. but its a bit of a half-measure and doesn’t work in all contexts

my understanding is that most kinds of paper towels are not food safe, and can contain bleaching agents, formaldehyde, and other such things. i’ve yet to find a great drop in replacement for them though. so i’ve just been avoiding/altering recipes that ask for them.

further evidence in support of my policy of not taking cooking advice from people who advocate for putting food on paper towels
